“I worked on Planescape back in the day…” “Nice to meet you Colin,” I gestured to the vast panoply of geekery around us. On Sunday, a tall dark stranger came up to me and said, “You’re Pat Rothfuss, aren’t you?” Still, I was surprised at how *many* people recognized me. One of the main reasons I go to conventions is to meet up with my readers. One particularly memorable couple came up to me and said, “That’s the best Pat Rothfuss cosplay we’ve ever seen! The beard looks so real!” and asked to get a picture with me. People would stop and say, “Are you Patrick Rothfuss?” And we’d stop and chat a little bit. The difference was most notable when I walked around the dealer’s room. I’m not really a big deal, but I’m certainly a bigger deal than I ever was before…. I wasn’t GOH or anything, and was mostly going to play some games and hang out with friends, including my new bestie Robert Gifford of Geek Chic.īut in 2012 I’d been published for *five* years. “Guest of Honor.”Īfter taking a break from Gen Con for a couple years, I headed back in 2012. Wandering around the dealer’s hall, at one point someone came up to me and said, “What makes you so honorable?” When I gave him a baffled look, he pointed down at the ribbon on my badge that said.
I only had one book out, and had only been published for two years. That said, I was still a pretty new author in 2009.
It was one of my first GOH gigs, and at a convention I’ve been attending off and on for most of my adult life. This is what I do.īack in 2009 I attended Gen Con as author Guest of Honor. Well, actually, let me tell you a story that consists of several stories.
