And the spork is finished! Huzzah! Now for part four - there's probably one more instalment after that, maybe two. We'll see. (Looks like it'll be two. Aren't you lucky).

So I found a video interview with Paolini and two kiss-ass fans, released shortly after the publication of Murtagh. I've been surprisingly assiduous about transcribing it and sporking along the way, and am now about halfway through. I'm the only person with the patience, hearing, typing speed and free time to do transcriptions like this, so it makes sense that it'd be a solo effort. And believe me, even by the 22:30 mark Paolini has done an excellent job of making himself look really, REALLY bad.
And it's not even just the stupid hat.

Now we get into true fan fiction territory, and if my math is right, we're about a quarter through this thing.

We kind of start to match up here with events from Book Three, and then we push on into fanfic territory.

Now things start to get a little off the rails. Like I said, being older now, I know how bad this chapter is and it makes me wish I had taken a different route.

This is where the fanfic overlapped with book two, after Murtagh and Thorn return from the Burning Plains.

Hey, now it's time for chapter two of this 15 year old cringe! Unlike a fine wine, I don't think this aged well at all. I was rereading it today and I can see EVERYTHING wrong with it, now that I know better and have more experience.

NoFoxHere is Late to the Party, as Always
Imagine my surprise when way back in the summer or something, some of our more august members posted a commentary from the sneak peeks of Murtagh on Reddit. I, for one, greatly appreciate the insight previously shared on this site, based on the snippets. However, I am a slow worker at best, and have rather a different opinion on some of the preview content that I was not able to summarize effectively in the comments, so without any further ado, I would like to put the third entry from the infamous Reddit post under the scalpel...er, spork.
