Okay, I was the "Legalize Denner" hippie-type. (The horrid expression in that photo comes from trying to look like a serious protester... and let me tell you that it's hard to try to look ANY kind of serious while hanging out with this crowd!) :D Pat's right: I don't remember him writing a hippie into the book, either. But I'm sure that that was just an oversight on his part and that he'd MEANT to have one. ;-)Nancy

HiI read your book in an evening. I couldn’t put it down! I know that sounds clicheed, but it’s true…. When is the second Kingkiller Chronicle coming out? It’s the only thing I can read at the moment :( Please write more, and post the fanfic! My friends and I are waiting for you to write more!!! (especially Kingkiller)xxxxxxxxxx

So do we get to read this alluring fanfic you’ve created?

Hey! I've read your book, while sitting on the crapper, about 5 times. I read Terry Brook's new book afterward. And then I picked up Acacia, which as it turns out, didn't interest me all that much. So now I'm back to the Name of the Wind. And I bet you still can't stop imagining me sitting on the crapper with all these books around me. That will teach you for branding images into my occipital lobe without some warning :P

Oh, fanfic of what, I’m so curious. I have never ever ever read any, if you don’t count Jane Austen spin-off novels, which I guess totally count as fanfic. But I am considering writing a story that fits in my OWN universe but doesn’t really have a place in my books (I write middle grade and YA fantasy), and posting it on my website — that’s kind of like fanfic of my own ‘fic’ which is kind of goofy, isn’t it? I guess I just shouldn’t call it that. Just call it a “freebie” or something :-)P.S. I’ve been enjoying your blog, and just bought your book at Powell’s but haven’t read it yet. I read the excerpt in Realms of Fantasy last year and have been <>meaning<> to read it ever since. So here I go!

Pat you are the man, and i realize that this is a little late to say, because i have been reading your blog since last Christmas when i first read your book and i never actually commented on one of your post! Anyways, i guess i just felt like i couldn’t post a comment without a grand intro like that, but in regards to your blog, fanfiction is, whether we admit it or not, something we are all guilty of reading..

Pat,I don't know if this has happened yet, but I'm currently teaching academic English in a psychiatric residential facility, and the first novel I'm teaching in our unit on fantasy is NOTW. If you'd be up for answering some questions or have suggestions on lesson plans drop me a line at stephen.shell at yahoo.comI also just bought 8 paperbacks for my class of eight girls. We're on chapter 9 :-)Thank you so much for such an awesome book.
