Nice Birthday, Asshole @nicebirthdayasshole - Tumblr Blog

Closing Statements

To the Right People: Thank you for coming together and producing a collection of the shittiest goddamn fanart we have ever seen. It was truly awe-inspiring. I know of at least one person (*cough copperandcream cough*) who decided to read the books because of what she saw today. This fandom is the best fandom.

To Scott: We hope we made you smile today. <3 Happy birthday. Thank you for everything.

What happens when I try to write a paper and suddenly remember that everything is sharks? THE CONCEPT OF THIS. Obviously.

Happy birthday, you awesome motherfucker. Happy fucking birthday!

A toast, in honor of Our Crooked Author. Not that it shows, but that is half Triple Sec and half orange-pineapple juice, which is sadly as close as I can come to alcoholic oranges on a weeknight.

I celebrated by buying someone else’s book!

…Okay, I bought your book, too.

Apparently it is Scott Lynch’s birthday. My dash is covered in sharks, llamas, and pictures of beer.

This is nice because I was reading the section of Red Seas Under Red Skies where they sack the Kingfisher and thinking that how much I needed everything about that sequence today: all the way...

Happy Birthday! I love your books so much that I've been recommending them to everybody I meet. Thank you for giving us the best characters I've read in a long while - and thank you for ripping our hearts out, gluing them back together, and ripping them to shreds again. I look forward to having it trampled once more when The Thorn of Emberlain comes out.

I have eaten half of an entire cake so far and I’m not sure I can go on.

In the Gentleman Bastard fandom, we don't say "I love you", we say "Are you going to stop playing with that fucking onion" and I think that's beautiful.

All I had were chocolate chip muffins and a quick doodle of a shark, but happy birthday! Your books have made me (actually) laugh out loud, cry, and maybe even throw one of them across a room and I have loved every second of it! Thanks for writing them and for introducing me to the wonderful fandom!

The Thorn of Camorr gives their warmest birthday wishes to the author of the brilliant Gentlemen Bastards Sequence. I even disguised myself as a shark, as it seems to be the tradition in your world.

A glass poured to air for the one who sits with us unseen; the writer and creator, the Crooked Author, the Father of Necessary Texts.

Thanks for sharks poorly photoshopped.

Thanks for the mental filters asleep at their posts.

Thanks for the fandom to nurture us and the chat to hide us.

Thanks for the friends to help while away the time between books!

A glass poured to air for #gbchat, present and crazy at all times.

Nice birthday asshole.

Everyone should read "The Lies Of Locke Lamora" and the Gentlemen Bastards sequence

I promise you amazement, laughter and tears (ok, lots of tears) Amazing, convincing, spectacular plot and Cunning, interesting, never dull, surprising characters. But most importantly you’ll become part of the best fandom I’ve ever been part of with the best people that have welcomed me with a warmth and an enthusiasm and a readiness that have left me completely speecheless. They are the best fans and the best people and I love them all. THANK YOU.
