* AuthorFilibuster: Asprin lapsed into this mode on occasion.
Added DiffLines:
* SaidBookism: Avoiding the use of the word "said" was definitely one of Asprin's notable writing traits.
Added DiffLines:
* WritersBlock: Asprin suffered mightily from this throughout his career, often leading to his spending months researching subjects instead of, well, writing. One example is the sport of fencing, at which he evidently became quite proficient.

Added DiffLines:
* ThoseTwoGuys: Frequently partnered with Linda Evans. In part this was due to a good working dynamic. In part it was because Asprin got taken for tax evasion and the deal he worked out with the IRS was that they would garnish his earnings from solo projects and he could keep what he got working with a partner. [[LoopholeAbuse So he stopped writing any books alone.]]

In 2008, his heirs donated his archive to the department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University.
