He says “the fans write me angry about x is different from the book, but I don’t care” a lot. It’s pretty endearing.

It’s almost like the grrm collectively made up by angry little saddos itt and the real guy are completely different things. Huh.

For GRRM to be someone's bitch would imply someone wants to be physically near him at least sometimes.

So, no, GRRM is nobody's bitch.

Ty wrote and finished his own nine-book series, with a six (?) season TV adaptation, starting like a year before ADWD came out. He's half of the Expanse guy.

Well not around like that. How's his sexual involvement with George lately? More important than his nine book series.

No, he is one of the reasons The Expanse (TV series) happened, and it's a pretty cool sci-fi setting. Wes Chatham as Amos Burton is the perfect casing and enough to cover up all the other flaws of the series

E: also sitting on a plane rereading War and Peace rn. This one is what I call my favourite book, and Tolstoy is objectively a better writer than GRRM and all, but I’m ashamed to say I would hurl this tome out the window in a heartbeat if the formerly fat man gave me my goddam knights and dragons sequel

According to himself, he is kinda doing that but (so far) only the parts he already written for the new book.

This actually would be the logical next step: start rewriting the books he already written. So not only he wont publish any new books, he will unpublish the books he managed to get out. In 10 more years there will be no books in the series and we will be waiting for Game of Thrones

this guy is so dumb, he uses Tolkien as an example for this idea, but Tolkien loving finished his story before revising it

I've nothing against GRRM revising his new stuff, of course. If he messed up so bad he can't write his way out of it, deleting huge parts and starting Winds of Winter fresh could help. And it's not like we get to read the book anyway if he just keeps on writing in circles with no end in sight

You joke but I made the lemoncakes from the ASOIAF cookbook (or a one I assume there’s a ton of them) and they were delicious if I do say so myself. Whatever his flaws, the man knows his lemoncakes
