I may be wrong, and if so I'm sure you guys will provide links and stuff, but other than in our interview, I don't believe I've ever seen Rothfuss claim that the trilogy was finished, that we'd get the books a year apart, yada yada yada. He soon realized that it wouldn't be the case when he started working on TWMF, so I doubt that such claims were widespread. He's been acting like a jerk since, yes. But taking shots at others with such claims, I'd like to see that beyond our interview.

Here's the link: https://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com/2007/03/patrick-rothfuss-interview.html As far as GRRM is concerned, he technically had nearly half a book ready to go when they split AFfC in two. Trouble is, he scrapped huge portions of the manuscript and started over, which explains why it took so long to finally complete ADWD. His editor told me when I met up with her in NYC a few years before ADWD was published.

One thing that you guys must understand, and that is seldom mentioned by angry fans, is that book 3 as it existed in that interview way back when (with Yours Truly, by the way) is no longer relevant. Far be it from me to play devil's advocate where Rothfuss is concerned (he deserves most of the scorn he's been receiving for reasons that have been explained here ad nauseam), but a great chunk of the trilogy's plot went down the crapper when his editor took TWMF off the production line when she realized that he wouldn't be able to deliver the manuscript as planned. Based on interviews and posts that date back from that period, it's evident that Rothfuss changed a lot of things about the series during that process and that TWMF was quite different than what it was meant to be originally. As a result, TDoS as it existed when TWMF hit number 1 on the NYT list was likely no longer a viable final installment in the series. Whatever he could salvage probably couldn't work on its own and trying to make things work since then have not been up to par. So he didn't lie in 2007 when he told me that the entire trilogy was written. But those drafts, though they existed at the time, hadn't gone through the editing process and pretty much lost most of their relevance by the time book two was sent to the printer. Yes, there are rumors that beta readers found whatever they saw of book 3 to be weak, but those are only rumors. We'll never know the full story about the years between TWMF and TDoS. His editor created a bit of a storm when she mentioned that she had yet to see a single word from book 3 a while back. Now it looks that Rothfuss is in a better place mentally and writing again. Which is great. It doesn't excuse the lies and the empty promises and the way he's dealt with his own fans. It never will. But I wish the most rabid fans would stop believing that he's sitting on a finished manuscript just to piss them off.
