Robin Hobb on Sword & Laser (possible spoilers Farseer & Tawny Man)

[finella]

Here are some other bits and pieces of what Robin has had to say regarding Fool's bit part which soon became a pivotal part, finella.

I think, these "old" news are only ment for me and not for you "experts". For me they are "new" .

He was the most unruly character I've ever dealt with. He showed up as a single sentence in the outline, muscled his way into the book, messed up the plot, revealed things I didn't know about some of my characters while keeping all his secrets to himself, and then rode off into the sunset.
I don't know if I'll ever write anyone like him again. Sometimes, I don't know if I'd want to! Wherever he came from, I was glad to know him. That doesn't mean it was easy to live with him for a decade of my life.
Readers often ask me questions about the Fool. For the most part, I don't know the answers. I have suspicions, and I do know things about him that never made it into the books, but for most of the questions they ask me, the answer is, "I don't know. He never talked about that with me." He was and remains a very private sort of character. [/quote]
