I’m not holding my breath on that one either. I think both GRRM and Rothfuss had a REALLY cool idea for a universe/mystery/scenario, they got way more popular than either could have ever dreamed, they fucked around for years, there are now tons and tons of fan theories and incredibly high expectations, and neither of them know how to or truly want to finish the series.

Rothfuss treats his fans like shit. But he gets to launch fraudulent charity fundraisers (Worldbuilders is the charity. It has a hugely high administrative overhead and really doesn’t donate much at all to charity. It also pays a lot for warehouse space, owned by one “Elodin LLC.” Elodin LLC happens to be owned by..Patrick Rothfuss. Yet another example of a lefty taking advantage of the tax code, charitable donations, etc., to funnel more money into his pocket. Disgusting), stream online, do roleplaying shit, etc. Why write when you can just fuck around and have fans fawn over you?

GRRM is a legit superfan, and he has been his whole life. He’s been productive over his entire career, I think he just doesn’t know how to finish things off now. And when you can drive your purple Tesla around, build a tower fortification on to your house, and have “fuck you” money, why not.
