when you're undiagnosed and/or don't have a plug for stimulants but you're also a little bit of a submissive:

More hassle than just writing the book for you, and less claim to royalties/compensation. No thank you.

Problem with corporal punishment is that the adults who would put it in the job description and accept it will tend to be into it. Same for domination.

I prefer a job where the methodology at least trends towards the supposedly intended results, not that I'm at all opposed to fetish/kink fulfilment. Just don't tell me the purpose is to help you write an unrelated book, or that my performance is evaluated by your progress in such at all.

Honestly, I'd pay for the privilege of slapping GRRM.

Can I be this person for Rothfuss?

Did you see the post from his agent or publisher or whatever saying they dont think he even has a draft?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I doubt GRRM does either. I'm willing to give a year or two buffer, but after that, I must believe they've done nothing if get can't produce a draft to the editor after claiming to have part of it done.

For as long as I refuse to read it, it does not exist. 😤

That's... unnecessary kinky. But might be fun.

Dude is just a masochist looking for a dom
