I have to agree with GRRM in his latest interview:quote:"From my point of view, the craziest one is the people who believe that I've actually finished all of the books, and I'm just sitting on them for some reason in order to get more money or increase the value, you know, to release them an appropriate point," said Martin. "That's a pretty crazy one, but there seem to be people who actually believe that."

He's incorrect the craziest people are the ones that think there will be another book written by GRRM. At least one published pre-mortum anyways.

Oh sweet, fanfics and fanlyrics, what's upppp: (mining archives for your own poo poo is hard :/ ) * quote:"Yo, that's ten points on the dollar, sucker," Cheese Wagstaff intoned, feeling the colour rise to his cheeks. Redwyne's men were all snickering in the market square. They thought him a fool, then. The man's shiny plate far outmatched Cheese's own scuffed and dirty Jordans, far outshined his loose, white shirt emblazoned with Method Man's crest.

Each sat, alone, staring into the middle distance, unsure of thoughts and words. * quote:The guard captain entered Tyrion's chamber, noticeably sweating despite the cooler air of the season.

The Telltale games ASOIAF game is reportedly going to have 5-6 playable characters, all from the same family and all affecting the story. For people who have been in here for a while, a story is "an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment". You might have read one a decade or so ago in one of these books.

If we're just going by AGoT, ACoK, and ASoS we're definitely ok to round to 20.

At this rate GRRM will have written not even 6 ASOIAF books in the time it took for Jordan (and Sandersen) to write the Wheel of Time. It'll probably take him longer to write book 7 than it tooFeist to write the Riftwar Cycle.

Pratchett wrote 31 books in the Discworld series in 20 years. So I guess the solution is easy, pay Sanderson to of GRRM by a means off a poisoned lemon cake and let him finish the series, where we will get an extremely detailed description of the Mountain/Robert Strong versus the Hound showdown.

To be fair to the fat man ASOIAF is much better than WoT in every possible aspect, at least the first three books are. I also couldn't get past the first half of the first book of Malazan which isn't a great sign in my opinion. Say what you will about the fat man but there aren't a lot of works in the fantasy genre that can compare to (the first three) ASOIAF novels. Amusingly it took him what, three years to write AGOT through ASOS? That's probably the best indication that he actually had no clue how to conclude the series, how could he write the best three books at a lightning pace and then slog through the rest and produce mediocre works otherwise?

I think it was just that GRRM had the ideas for the first three books germinating for a very long time in the 80s and 90s and then he thought he'd be able to do the timeskip and everything would work out, but by the time he actually plotted the details that far he realized he had too many spinning plates to just jump ahead and he was already being hailed the American Tolkien and HBO was knocking on his door and it all seems to be a lot of pressure and premature cheering of victory from others doesn't it? Being a fat goony gently caress myself I'd break like cheap lawn furniture, sell the gently caress out, and informally retire to a life of football and conventions too.

But I honestly think I'll reread that before A Feast for Crows to be honest. Prolly before A Dance with Dragons too.

Although I prefer my "Sold soul for award winning trilogy" theory... and then tried to cheat the devil by stretching it into more than 3 books. He has only written 1 book since then ( splitting it in half doesn't make it 2 ) and it pretty much sucked compared to 1/2/3. Even now, the "best" parts of book 4 and 5 are ones that he wrote during books 1/2/3 ( Reek / Arya ).

They aren't even allowed to edit his work, much less ghost write it. His pride is waaaay too big for that, and his expenses too small. If they get lucky he will get addicted to pain pills or furry tranny hookers or something that burns through his cash vault, and forces him to either write or let his books be written for him.

Well that's my point, this goon is saying he identifies with GRRM because he would also break under the pressure...but the problem isn't that he's folded, it's that he hasn't, puts out half-books that are barely even that, whines about the pressure he's put himself under, and is verifiably not writing (unless his writing routine has majorly changed recently).

If it weren't for the TV show, GRRM would be pretty irrelevant by now. Both Feast and Dance are full of irrelevant chapters, where especially Dance should have killed any remaining hype surrounding GRRM. I don't count myself as a fan of GRRM or ASOIAF, but I have been on this train for 14 years and I am only staying for the inevitable train crash.
