Does it seem grossly unfair to anyone?
That we have to wait six more years for the rest of this story that we've waited sooo long for?
No, not in the least.
The editors could rush SRD and he might rush the next books, but then I guarantee you that the quality of the story, in it's richness and depth that we all know and love (indeed, I dare say that same depth is what so many of us love about the books) just would not be up to the level that we have come to expect from SRD.
You can rush when grilling a steak, but it won't come out right either. Instead, you give it as long as it takes for the final product to be done.
He'll give us the books when the books are ready, and I wouldn't have it any other way. If that means I have to reread Fatal Revenant in 3 years time to refresh my memory <sarcasm>then *darn* I hate it when that happens.</sarcasm>

Patiences my young Stonedowner, patiences.
What's this silver looking ring doing on my finger?
Oh, I beg to differ... I'm definitely ready for it! I can't enough of SRD right now.Wayfriend wrote:You won't be ready for AITE for a while...
Unfair for us to have to wait another three years? Nah. We all gotta be patient and wait for the next awesome book. I have no doubt in my mind that that three years will be totally worth it.

Maybe a pop-up book with a collection of sense which particularly demonstrate puissance? With a large preface about the history of the word?Lord Foul wrote:I think the new TC should come out next year. I don't care if it ends up being a pop-up book or a CD with SRD saying "puissant" over and over.

The problem with waiting is Donaldson leaves us on the end of our seats with the endings nowadays.. Back in the day every boook had an ending that contented us, made the desire to read the next book less than with the endings to FR and Runes - because those Endings were really the beginnings of a completely new story!

I don't know, I kind of like the enforced waiting period. I like re-reading the books a couple of times before the release of the next one and I like all the speculation and anticipation during the wait as well. Plus, knowing myself, if I got all four books at the same time, I'd probably get caught in the exictment and rush through to see the end, all the while missing quite a lot of the sublte things that make these books so good.
