Jace, Extat Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'm not sure what was gained by spending tens of posts and thousands of words tearing down the works of better men in an effort to decide what "redefined the genre", but it sure wasn't fun to read.

Oh you sweet summer child. That was one of the least painful parts of the last dozen or so Rothfuss threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I feel powerful and enlightened after participating. . . . . ... of course, I always feel powerful and enlightened.

Ser Not Appearing Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I do worry about the point that was made towards the end of the last thread. The fact that there has been nothing said by Rothfuss regarding the editor's comments is concerning. I don't know what to make of it, really, but I would say ominous is the right word for me. I would just expect ... something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If he's half as manic-depressive as it seems, he might actually be working in a rage induced stroke of inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I resent the implication that GRRM or Rothfuss are 'better men' than I am. They are better writers, of course but then so were Asimov, Eddings, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace, Extat Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Resent away. Or perhaps spend inordinate effort at contextualizing "better" in such a way as to dull the ache of your lonesome inadequacies, it makes little difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be we won't get anything. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 The reason for quite some time I get Lin-Manuel Miranda confused with PR -- not an accident, one supposes that LMM thought for a while it would be a good idea to make Rothfuss books his Big Fantasy Project. Quote " ...it still prioritizes a white-male perspective, pushing more marginalized voices, such as those of the female characters in the show, to the background. (The fact that every female character, almost without exception, is defined solely by their desire to bang Hamilton, as played by Miranda, does not help matters.) [Much.
