I've always pictured Rincewind as The Dude. And if you see anyone else you're doing it wrong.

Kitchner posted:Without spoiling the story for me why is Raising Steam getting knocked by you guys so much? I'm only 10% in and it feels like he's throwing characters into the pot left and right so it feels more like a "city" book than a "Moist" or "Wizards" or "Death" story. The beginning is a little confusing that way, and I think we're more than a little conditioned to expect a this character or that character story.

Hipster Occultist posted:I think that's possibly a result of his editors understandably going a little too easy on his work out of sympathy for his condition now. I really wish people would quit bringing up his Alzheimer's like it's OBVIOUSLY the source of EVERYTHING DIFFERENT about him now, or that he's treated with kid gloves because oh they feel so sorry for him. Creativity isn't frozen when you turn 21, you won't write or paint or play the same thing when you're 30. Or 40, or 50. Growth and development and all that. And I suspect the light editing accusation probably has more to do with extremely prolific writers having more experience than a lot of editors, which is probably a bit intimidating even if it isn't someone fantastically popular. If you just got out of college, are you going to have the balls to go and tell someone how to do the job they've been doing for 30 years? Maybe you would, but you'd be in the minority.
