SANTA FE, NM—Stressing that fans of the franchise were about to be richly rewarded for their patience, author George R.R. Martin announced Tuesday that he had finally finished writing his sequel to the 2000 film Erin Brockovich. “At long last, the wait is over—my script for Erin Brockovich 2: A Kiss Of Chromium is officially complete!” […]
George and Pat Rothfuss both have enough money in the bank that they don’t have to release their books to the public anymore. They probably still write for fun, but neither will ever release anything again.
Honestly, I think thats fine. It’s a shame I won’t get to see the ending of either series, but I also don’t have a shortage of things to read.
At least Martin has some quality under his belt. Rothfuss wrote 1.25 good books and just shit on his fans.
How do you get 1.25 good books?
Write 75% of a book where the only thing that happens is a teenage boy describes his sexual prowess with a faerie goddess using terms like “tongue twister of the five winds” or some such bullshit.
Rothfuss has unironically stated that he’s had trouble with the third book because he’s matured too much to write that shit again lol
I personally didn’t mind it in an unreliable narrator/mythic ballad kind of way but a lot of the problems it has is that it sure seems like it would require a literal interpretation to make the plot threads connect in the end.
Read the second one, and you’ll see
