It seems that if you have to read an erotic scene in front of a large audience, you might not survive without Patrick Rothfuss on hand. Amber Benson’s reading of her newest novel Serpent’s Storm was brought to a halt when she tried to begin a sex scene, but Rothfuss offered to take over Frank’s dialogue, and the two continued on from there.
All right, it was pretty stop-and-go-and-stop-again. To be fair, how can you read erotica to a crowd when Patrick Rothfuss is giving you his best southern drawl?
The answer is: you can’t. You’re just thinking of excuses to keep him talking.
Stubby the Rocket is the Tor.com masot and random voice of the staff. It can do a fantastic southern drawl, but only if you bribe it with dilithium crystals mined in Dallas, Texas.
