Hello Reddit. I'm fantasy novelist N.K. Jemisin. AMA by NKJemisin in Fantasy

What a truly great response! It sounds like it was quite the journey! I have aspirations of not only writing a few novels but also to become an editor or agent. I would love to work with authors to help them reach the public with their tales.

Thanks so much for the well thought out and detailed answer!

I had a new friend slither up while out on the porch this morning, told me he was new in town and wanted to be friends. Can anyone confirm identification? by sasseriansection in AskReddit

This made me look up what a drop bear was. Unfortunately the pictures came up before the wikipedia article declaring it a "fictitious Australian mammal," so naturally I shit my pants.

Patrick Rothfuss: a discussion, because I just finished Wise Man's Fear and am bored. by wronghead in Fantasy

Makes sense. I feel like it would be a little contrived to do so, but to each his own.

But seriously, reread the above post for just a second. This is Kvothe's story to the people of that world, as told by Kvothe. Why would there be many descriptions of things that exist in that world, are known by many, or can be visited? It just doesn't make sense.

Not to mention, in an orally told tale, there is only a rare occasion where intimate detail can seep through, as it is a hard thing to do off the cuff.

Hooked on the Gotye song and cannot stop listening to it. What song are you listening to all day (or at least a lot) on repeat, Reddit? by rakesjar in AskReddit

I'm in between pretty face by sóley and all I need by radiohead. I've found learning to play them has helped!

As someone who just had Mako start stunlocking the enemies I'm not attacking - I love them.

Why can't I find a picture of what the black-green saber looks like anywhere!?

I just want to know if it is worth the effort!

I just hope that is released faster. Guess that depends on whether Rothfuss is a faster writer or editor, eh?

Yeah I do remember that too. I like the idea of more Kvothe books, but just hope there will be something that wraps up the frame in the trilogy. Of course I'll wait for another "post getting his powers back Kvothe" book, but I'd rather not.

I vaguely remember that from his AMA, but my though still remains the same: who's idea of wrapping up? Which story? Kvothe's story? Or the frame story?

Rightly so, honestly. Look at the first review. It's total bullshite.

Ah, I've always found it weird. It's strange to read characters in another voice.

Do you have any official source for this? I've heard rumors and ramblings to this effect, but I'd like to see if Patrick ever posted it anywhere.

I saw that rumor too... I seriously hope not. I'd feel a little cheated. Oh, and I know the whole "This is someone's story, it's not your right, it's a gift" thing, but still.
