Ser Not Appearing Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) I enjoy his writing, when I can get it, but don't touch his charity because I'm not a rube.

Ser Not Appearing Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Agreed. Also more unique and possibly a flavor some wouldn't like. But much better overall, imo. Edited December 13, 2023 by Ser Not Appearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 This is terribly disappointing, folks. Only five replies after a three-month thread hiatus. Where's the ire that I've come to love and expect? Where's the dripping contempt? We have as much will to gripe as Rothfuss has to write. Jerol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I bet Doors of Stone is a total fuckfest. Like, after living with the sex ninjas and and the Felurian side quest, he's loses all interest in things school and revenge related. He just dives fully into his sexuality and fucks his way across (whatever the name of the land in this story is). My theory is that the book has been completed for years, Rothfuss wasn't lying, he's just been at a stand-off with the publisher, who refuses to print it as it is. Way too many fae fannies and sorcerous schlongs flying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where the authors of the above are from themselves, but as someone who's never read Rothfuss, does he really use the word "fannies" to describe female genitalia? That would be remarkable for an American author. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't, I was just going for the alliteration and figured that with our pan-anglosphere board at least some would assume the raunchier meaning rather than the quaint American one.

Argonath Diver Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 As a total tangent that I thought of prior to Ormond's question: My dearly departed grandmother was super, super Catholic and in her house we didn't even say "darn" let alone and actual cuss word. But she would say "move your fanny" if she needed a kid to slide a seat down on the sofa. It was about as innocent a way as possible in my youth as a term for one's rear end. I don't think we would have even said "tush" without a glare from her. Anyway when I moved to NYC to work proper Irish pubs, I found out the more original slang meaning, and why my Irish and Scots friends found it so funny when American tourists in Manhattan wore Fanny Packs around. On topic, at least moreso; I just had a bar customer last week with whom I had a lovely chat about modern fantasy fic. She ranked Rothfuss among her favorites (along with two other authors whom I don't recall ever hearing mentioned on this board, can't recall their names). She wrote down a good dozen or so of my recs, 100% of which are from this forum. Trying the Murderbot series first after her delight in my plot summary. I'll never see her again but I hope she loves them. Ser Not Appearing, Rhom, Larry of the Lawn and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
