The closest I've ever come to reading an RPF
arkeus recently informed me of this amazing bit of news
Terry Goodkind, author of the stellar (if we pretend that word has no meaning) Sword of Truth series, has apparently written a new story.
And it seems that it is essentially a Real Person Fic of his own material. I'm not sure if this is the most asinine thing ever, the most brilliant thing ever, or simply the most pretentious thing ever. I'm either completely awed by it, or I'm having a hard time not rolling my eyes out of my skull.
There's still a tiny part of me that hopes Terry Goodkind is actually the greatest author of our age, and that he's going to mindfuck the crap out of all of us by making this book a secret sequel to the SOT series, and finally reveal that Richard Rahl is in fact the greatest villain of all time.
But until that day, Terry Goodkind will have to exist as a Schrodinger's Author. He is either a genius or a complete fucking fool, and until we can observe the truth, he's technically both. You can't argue with it. It's Science.
Edit to Add: Oops, I got confused as to what awful kind of fanfiction I was comparing this to. It should be an All Human AU fic, not a Real Person Fic.
