South Park creators can't keep track of the show's complicated lore, so they use fan sites to help stick to canon: "Oh, yeah, we did that" | GamesRadar+ (www.gamesradar.com)

Eiichiro Oda, creator of One Piece, does the same to keep track of all the lore.

GRR Martin(overrated imo) used to have a dude he'd check things with.

It must be hard for authors to keep track of what actually happened because I'm sure there are dozens or even hundreds of plotlines and side stories which they thought about while writing or even started writing before axing the idea and never made it into the story.

Keeping track of what did and didn't officially make it into the story must be extra difficult than readers just remembering what they read.

Did the guy die and that's why he gave up writing?

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Martin is infamous for writing slowly and wishing for his books to be adapted for TV/movies. I don't think the guy died I think Martin doesn't really have a good work ethic and has limited motivation to actually finish.

And the pressure and expectations are insane

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Expectations, yeah, he did that himself. Pressure less so because he very obviously can get away without doing anything.

No, hes absurdly lazy and undisciplined.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He doesn't owe you anything

Never said he did, commenting on his work ethic.
