Dear George,
did you see that last episode? D & D are taking your Magnus Opus and going Full Metal RolandEmmerich with it. RolandMotherfuckingEmmerich! They are packing 3 seasons worth of material into a single, shortened one. It has turned into *Connect The Plot Points* affair with a teleportation schedule that would drive Scotty insane:
Scotty: “Captain, Captain, we did everything we could, but we fused half the crew into one big Brundlefly!”
Captain:
The *books are the books and the show is the show* is the mantra to go for and look at what they are doing with the show. Technically you should rest easily and wear a smirk while the mullah roles in but aren´t there a few issues that should cause you concern?
So, George, what exactly did you pass them in those notes? The major goodies without a roadmap, I assume. Some of them you can rewrite, but what a bitch, dammit. Then again, if you don´t, the book nerd herd will get you. Decisions, decisions, decisions…
Let´s talk about the quantity of plot points. D & D have their fair share and can´t wrap it in an organic fashion. You, George, have way more dots to connect. You want to do that in two volumes, you will have to teleport way more than D & D. Do the math. You want to do it in a fashion that´ll cater to the book nerd herd´s expectations with all the bells and whistles, we are talking…what – 4 additional volumes? Maybe 5? There´s a lot of fern counting, food lists and Penny-mongering to wrap up.
Truth is, you’re not not-finishing TWoW because you suffer from writer´s block; you’re not finishing TWoW because you suffer from major cock block. With no relief in sight. For decades. But you know that, don´t you? After all, you may have found the least painful strategy to deal with all of this: Sit it out & block it out. Do anything but tWoW, and the fandom will move on eventually.
I should say that you are fucked, but know what? You ain´t. You are just a little miffed that some TV guys are fucking with your work, and not even your favorite one. And then, nobody that makes 15 mio a year on a half-finished work can ever be called “fucked”. The poor sods betting on the completion of that work are the ones bending over.
I think I am with the show herd. D & D, wrap the damn thing so we can move on with our lives!
George, enjoy your life, but America´s Stan Lee you´ll never be. That one has been taken and that butthurt is an itch you´ll never be able to scratch.
Yours truly.
