Seriously. That guy better have an outline stashed in a safe somewhere saying how it's supposed to play out, just in case another author has to come in and fill in the in-betweens. Unlike some other authors, Roger "I'll Fill in the Details Later" F***ing Zelazny.
(I want those hours I wasted reading "Amber" back.)
I'll bet it's simple: "Rocks fall, everyone dies."

I liked the Chronicles of Amber. They didn't really go anywhere, and there were a lot of inconsistencies, but I like the way he writes.
Martin has already stated that he's given the show's producers copies of his notes in case the inevitable happens. It's not a full finished copy, but they know where the story is going.
Oh myyyyy.
CoA made me want to dig up Zelazny and kick him in the nuts. That man needed a good editor more than Anne Rice. He could write pages-long descriptions of plane-walking (it was called plane walking, right? I can't be bothered to check), but he would introduce characters with zero physical description in a world where not everyone is humanoid and expect us to know what we're reading about? And the constant major plot threads he left dangling after 10 books? As cool as his ideas were, the execution was horribly plotted and sloppy.
To be honest, the only reason I read the series was it was a favorite of my ex's, and for years he had been playing an RPG that was based on the series. Of course, that too was inconsistently ruled and near-incomprehensible when we played, so I shouldn't have been surprised. Another thing that drove me crazy was the RPG manuals would have quotes in them that never occurred in the books, yet were attributed to them. Where the hell were they coming from?!?
Not gonna lie. I would be legit down for that.

I can't remember if it was going to Chicago or from Chicago, but I once had a pilot announce, "Ladies and gentleman, please make sure you're seated and fasten your seat belts as soon as possible. We're running a few minutes behind, so to fix that, we're going to fly this plane like we stole it."

In Bel Air is where I was born and raised
In a mansion is where I spent most of my days
Eating out, tanning by the indoor pool, getting my suit pressed to go to private school
With a couple of white guys, dressed up so good, we started spending money in my neighborhood
I got in just a little debt and my mom got mad
And said "you're moving to philly to learn to be gangsta like Dad."

Did you see the post I made a week or so ago that combines Jaden tweets with Garfield comics?
