So Kvothe is going up against Aslan right now in round two of the fantasy cage match on Suvudu. What’s surprising is that right now the votes are pretty much dead even. Half for Kvothe, half for the big cat himself.
I didn’t write up a little blurb for the last fight. But I’ve been driving a lot over these last couple days as I go from reading to reading. So I’ve had plenty of time to think about how the fight between Kvothe and Aslan would go.
So I wrote it up this morning and sent it off to Suvudu. If you wander over there, they should have it posted up pretty soon. I’m actually kinda proud of that little scene.
And for those of you wondering who did the cool picture of Kvothe they’re using over there on the site: it’s Kim Kinkaid over at Twirling Dragon. It’s one of my favorite pictures of Kvothe so far.
When Sarah saw it, she said. “Oh. He’s beautiful. No wonder Fela bought him a cloak….”
That’s all for now folks. I’ve got to get back on the road. See some of you tonight at Prince Books.

Cage Match – Kvothe vs. Jaime
As many of you know, Kvothe is one of the final four remaining fighters in Suvudu’s fantasy cage match. After beating Aslan and Dumbledore, he’s come head-to-head with Jaime Lannister from Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire books.
Right now I’m losing. And while that stings a little, it doesn’t sting nearly as much as what Sarah said to me last night.
“Are you still losing to Jaime Lannister?” she asked.
“Yeah,” I said. “By a couple percentage points.”
“Well, Jaime’s a pretty awesome character,” she said. “I don’t think that Kvothe will be able to beat him.“
Now she’s entitled to her own opinion, of course. But still, what the hell? Whatever happened to “Stand by Your Man?” Even leaving aside the fact that I’m the pater familias, you’d think that she might at least show a little brand loyalty. After all, Kvothe as the one who puts food on our table and gives us the money to buy Oot jingly toys.
Seriously. Ow. My authorial pride is all hurty now.
Anyway, since I had a lot of fun writing up the Kvothe Vs. Aslan scenario, and a bunch of people asked for something similar for Kvothe vs Jaime, I decided to type one up. I just sent it in to Suvudu site, so it should be up there for you to see pretty soon.
Here’s a link to the fight, if you want it.
And remember, this round of the fight only lasts until Friday (tomorrow) noon. So if you want to vote in the last two matches, you need to do it soon.
