This is a serious thread for serious posters. I don't think a pussy joke is suitable for it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to write a page long post about the smell and girth of gurm's poo poo filled dick.

I was in the book shop today and saw the new book. The Thingy Knight, dunno if it's more than one of the tales, 'twas in hardback and had illustrations. I'd've spoilered that but, frankly, who thinks the books coming out

I think we will see it in early 2017 before or during S7. But I never expected to read ADWD, so I've been wrong before! The real question is if we will ever see Rickon again.

rejutka posted:Well then I will be the first to say George Lucas/ George R R Martin similarities. Both of them sayin' goodbye to the franchise. GURM is more like Roddenberry where he is obsessed with weird sex poo poo and isn't nearly as good a writer as he thinks he is. George Lucas is a terrible writer as well, but he is also a good human being who donated all the money he made off of the disney sale to charity. GURM is just an absolute fucker.

I don't really think you can use the word "writer" in any traditional sense in the case of George Lucas.

He originally signed for a trilogy, after all. It's unlikely his publisher can print anything without his permission.

Amoeba102 posted:Still July 2017 release date from the publishers. That sounds about right to me. Whats funny is that is probably their "drop dead" date, and they thought "no matter what, we CANT go past this date, so lets post that one"... as if they had learned nothing from years of working with the GRRM. mossyfisk posted:I've said it before, but I sincerely doubt he's still under contract. He originally signed for a trilogy, after all. It's unlikely his publisher can print anything without his permission. I think he had to deliver some pages for a milestone payout. Quoting from a pretty cool article. http://watchersonthewall.com/a-scientific-guess-at-george-r-r-martins-progress-on-the-winds-of-winter/ quote:Next up, we have GRRM’s editor Anne Groell’s May 2014 Suvudu interview where she stated that GRRM sent her a 168 manuscript page partial in February 2013 to receive a contracted payment. This was the 1st batch of manuscript pages that GRRM sent to his editors since A Dance with Dragons. edit: highlights of that article: quote:Here’s what I’ll call the Super Pessimistic Prediction: If The Winds of Winter will be 1500 manuscript pages and George was at 375 manuscript pages, and he keeps his 204 new manuscript pages/year pace for 2012 going, we can suppose that George currently has ~783 manuscript pages of The Winds of Winter currently complete with an expected completion date of early-to-mid 2019. quote:...here’s the height of optimism data point: If George was able to write at his 2010 height and complete 374 new manuscript pages, he’d be at ~1200 total finalized manuscript pages by March 2015 with an expected completion date of around January-February 2016 quote:If you cornered me, put a gun to my head and told me to tell you how many completed manuscript pages are done for The Winds of Winter, I’d probably say that George is just north of 1000 manuscript pages with an expected completion date of late 2016 to early 2017. I think the average pace of 287 manuscript pages/year that George wrote between 2008 and 2010 is probably a good data point. If George had 1350 pages to write from the end of A Dance with Dragons, 287 average manuscript pages per year would have George finishing The Winds of Winter in early 2017. kcroy fucked around with this message at 11:53 on Nov 3, 2015 |

I still think it is pretty much done and will be out before the next series of the show and will be awesome and will have King Rickon riding on a unicorn with an army of cannibals sweeping across the continent eating everyone.

Also holy poo poo does GRRM like to repeat stupid rhymes and catch phrases ad nauseum. And inject the occasional anachronistic word in the laziest attempt at world building imaginable. ... Maybe reading all five ASoIaF books back-to-back gave me Stockholm syndrome. e. \/ That's what I mean. Dunk and his undercover Targaryen squire just happen to wander in to a low rent wedding tournament/secret Blackfyre Rebellion staging area. Dunk never seems particularly impressive other than that he's big, and yet he keeps winning duels. unlimited shrimp fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Nov 3, 2015 |

I'm of the opinion that all three dunk and egg novellas are actually pretty awesome. And in the third novel Dunk doesn't really luck into anything other than the tourney itself, Egg reveals himself to lord buttersomething and Bloodraven in disguise tells Dunk exactly what he should do next.

The second novel he doesn't really luck into anything so much as by being the obstinate good-hearted fool he is he inspires the less-lovely characters to fix their own problems while, as is tradition, he lies unconscious somewhere after losing a fight.

I love that we're talking a possible 2017 release for not even the last book in the series. People like to joke about WoW never coming out but I think it's simple fact that A Dream of Spring will literally never come out.
