Yep.

Ghostsauce posted:When I heard "Orson" Lannister I immediately thought of when Orson Scott Card was trashing Gurm in the news and thought Tyrion's speech was some ham-fisted trashing of Ender's Game or some poo poo. This sort of of thing has been done. Michael Crichton was accused of writing a critic as a corporate espionage guy or climate science faker (one of his usual villains, idk it was a long time ago) and when the guy said "nice strawman" Crichton asked which part of the character most reminded him of himself, the micropenis or the pedophilia? I assumed Orson was kicked to death by a mule because he'd watched a stable boy do something that sounded like even more fun than squishing bugs and wanted to try it himself.

Does anybody have links to Nuncle Jimbo's mp3s of Samwell and Cersei's chapters? I need a good laugh and I don't have the mp3s on my new computer.

I'm actually super excited about getting to watch the show without the stupid books spoiling everything for me. Though a not so small part of me hopes HBO cancels the show after the 6th season. There will never be an ending! No big bad Bran becoming the next Night's King. No stupid Dany and Jon Snow ruling team up. No Stannis fighting a dragon. No Tommen....doing anything.

You may be right, this is clearly a series of books where the editor and publisher have very strict control over the author and not the other way around.

That's the book with the story of the Rogue Prince right? About Daemon Targaryan, the badass from the Dance of the Dragons? It should be entertaining at least, if not very fulfilling. We already know his outcome from the Princess and the Queen.

ShaqDiesel posted:GRRM is done with the new book btw http://www.amazon.com/Rogues-George-R-R-Martin/dp/0345537262 lol GRRM posted:"The Princess and the Queen," Archmaester Gyldayn's somewhat abbreviated account of the Dance of the Dragons, got a great response from all the folks who read it in DANGEROUS WOMEN, so we've dipped back into the archmaester's somewhat disorganized piles of scrolls and crumbling manuscripts, and brought forth another piece of his unpublished history. "The Rogue Prince, or, the King's Brother," will tell the story of the years leading up to the calamitious events of "The Princess and the Queen" during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen, with particular attention to the role played by the king's brother, Prince Daemon, a rogue if there ever was one. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as you did "The Princess and the Queen."

unlimited shrimp posted:Is that confirmed? Anne Groell has said in order for those chapters to have been included in ADWD it would have required another year to get the book out. This gives me the impression those chapters weren't actually finished. It's entirely possible he completed the bumped chapters and submitted those for his check. Not to further wreck your optimism (keep hope alive, someone has to), but in a recent interview Martin said he is not to the halfway point yet. No one went broke underestimating the Mountain that Bides.

Are we to assume that the GRRMarillion/Fire And Blood book is a completely different book than the World of Ice and Fire book that's coming out in October?

I wonder if he is even doing the bare minimum. A contract that requires submissions every now and again is kinda standard. One that asks for that once in three years is exceptional. He's probably already in breach, but I'm sure the HBO dough softens the blow.

I honestly think that whenever Winds of Winter comes out, there will be little if any warning to the announcement for publication. GRRM has been very carefully saying next to nothing for almost 3 years now concerning where he is at in terms of progress, and one obviously can understand that given how he lost all credibility, as this thread amply demonstrates to my slight bewilderment. I honestly didn't think that fans who cared enough to keep posting about his work would despise him so much, no joke. Although it is a tricky relationships, as those articles by Gaiman/Kay/etc pointed out. It honestly makes me respect JK Rowling and what she did a hell of a lot more in retrospect, too. When faced with enormous public scrutiny and expectation to finish an insanely successful and profitable series of books that had also become sprawling and excessive, she acquitted herself pretty well for the most part. And, like GRRM, she had a media franchise in films that were slowly starting to breathe down her neck, but she coolly stayed ahead of the game. It was actually pretty amazing. When I think about it, really, I shouldn't be surprised AT ALL that it's the biggest fans of GRRM's stuff that hate him the most. I just realized that, in keeping with my comparison, like the entirety of Harry Potter was written in the same amount of time that ASoIaF fans were waiting to find out what happened to Tyrion/Jon/etc. Ouch.

That's a good point, about JK Rowling. I didn't really think of that but when you compare that to the ASOIAF series (or Stephen King's The Dark Tower, which I'm surprised people don't mention more often in this context) it really is pretty admirable.

Terry Pratchett is literally dying of a brain-wasting disease and he has written about eleventy-zillion books in the same timeframe it has taken GRRM to poo poo out AFFC and ADWD.

Best case scenario: Gurm dies of new shitdick infection, editor can't bear to wade through his gross notes and quits, HBO left to finish the series in a way that doesn't suck i.e. the entirety of Essos sinks into the ocean taking all the boring plotlines with it.

The Berzerker posted:or Stephen King's The Dark Tower, which I'm surprised people don't mention more often in this context People bring it up all the time, but we usually come to the conclusion that it's apples to oranges. King was always up-front about not writing new Tower books because he just didn't have any ideas for a long, long time. Then he got hit by a van and crapped out three increasingly bad books, which I read in reverse order thanks to the public library's hold list working its inscrutible magicka.

And now he can't stop writing them. aren't there a couple new Dark Tower novels that take place between those already released? I thought he was gonna retire, too. After Duma Key or something. Yet he's still writing new books.
