So many books, so little time

Just another update that the chapter has yet to be released and Patrick Rothfuss has not posted a blog mentioning it since December. This is just to bring awareness to the situation, please please be respectful when commenting.

For those interested in the full background:

• Each year Rothfuss does a fundraiser through his charity. He has used Book 3-related rewards as an incentive several times before

• Last year he initially set the stretch goal to read the Prologue (note: all three books have very similar prologues, they differ by roughly 1-2 paragraphs)

• This goal was demolished and he added a second stretch goal to read another chapter

• This second goal was again demolished and he attempted to backtrack on the promise demanding there be a third stretch goal that was essentially "all or nothing" (specifically saying, "I never said when I would release the chapter")

• After significant backlash his community manager spoke to him and he apologized and clarified the chapter would be released regardless

• He then added a third stretch goal to have a 'super star' team of voice actors narrate the chapter he was planning to release

• This goal was also met and the final amount raised was roughly $1.25 million

• He proceeded to read the prologue shortly after the end of the fundraiser

• He stated in December we would receive the new chapter by "February at the latest"

• There has been zero official communication on the chapter since then

Some additional clarifications:

• While Patrick Rothfuss does own the charity the money is not held by them and goes directly to (I believe) Heifer International. This is not to say that Rothfuss does not directly benefit from the fundraiser being a success (namely through the fact that he pays himself nearly $100,000 for renting out his home as the charity's HQ aside from any publicity, sponsorships, etc. that he receives). But Rothfuss is by no means pocketing $1.3M and running.

• I believe that Rothfuss has made a few comments through other channels (eg: during his Twitch streams) "confirming" that the chapter is delayed but I honestly have only seen those in articles/reddit posts found by googling for updates on my own
