I used to think this, too. In fact I was convinced at one point that Robert Jordan, George Martin and Raymond Feist were in fact triplets. Then came Joe Abercrombie and Scott Lynch and threw the whole best fantasy authors have beards thing in the rubbish bin.
I guess I'm doomed, then. I can barely grow scruff.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you have no chance. Greatness is directly dependent on Beardness. :)

ReplyDeleteJoe has one in the pictures I've seen:)
ReplyDeleteI really like JV Jones' and Robin Hobb's. :)
ReplyDelete@Elfy - Maybe it's just a hair thing, Lynch has lots of hair at least and I guess Joe sometimes has a beard.
So, does this mean that Robin Hobb and Carol Berg (and others) actually have facial hair?
ReplyDeleteThey're just good at hiding it. :) Or Chris just paints it on.
