Yeah, I'm betting one more book get's pushed out in the next year or two and then he is done with writing more*.

*Except for yet more volumes of fake history backstory that nobody asked for. I guess he really is the 'American Tolkein'.

Edit: It's just occurred to me. When he dies we really are going to get multiple volumes of 'unfinished tales', containing all the cut chapters and revisions aren't we. It's like he's channelling old JRR at this point.

Tolkien finished his story (and most of the history for it came first anyway) so the comparison is pretty lame. GRRM is own terrible fucker, hence the stamp.

So what you're saying is he's channelling JRRT badly.

lol that anyone still has hope he's going to finish even book 6. I expect no book this year, and furthermore I expect once the series is done he'll have even less interest with finishing them.

You fools, the publisher can't push out anything if there's nothing to push out.

The fat man hasn't written a single loving chapter since ADwD.

Google trolled me a few days ago. I got a news article with "GRRM releases Winds of Winter".
I was all "Hmm, maybe I should actually read adwd at some point if the gurm managed to write something."
Then I clicked the link, it was a loving wild cards novel.

How many more poker terms does GRRM have to go through before he’s finally out of titles for WILD CARDS books?

if there's one thing i learned growing up around midwestern men, there's an inifinite number of card games that you can vaguely call poker with a multitude of rules within each.

Every card game is either a form of poker or blackjack. It just depends on if you're matching or adding.

When we were kids we would gamble with our baseball cards. We'd stand behind a line and flip them toward a wall. Mind is fuzzy since it was a zillion years ago but I think the jist was that if your flipped card (or one your card moved when it landed) covered up the little logo on the one corner of the card entirely, you won all the cards beneath it.

So it was as much poker/blackjack as GURM's time is spent writing.

GRRM will never publish another ASOIAF book. A book might come out that various interested parties will cut and paste together out of whatever's available but the man himself won't be any part of it besides collecting a check.

It took him 11 whole years to publish two halves of one book and he "saved" the actual ending and a bunch of Sansa chapters from it to put in the next book for some unknown retard reason. And this was before he was getting HBO money.

The fuckerness is absolute, and woe unto you who question it.

It's experimental, to say the least. Most chapters are diagrams of character's genitalia. The narrative is mainly conveyed by changes in these diagrams. Erections, dicks in vaginas, dicks in abuses, dicks in the crevices of Winterfell's ruins. Quite poignant.

The cliffhanger epilogue owns. It's a flipbook that shows Drogon becoming fully erect. When it reaches full length, the words HAVILAND TUF WILL RETURN IN A DREAM OF SPRING are legible.
