There are notes, but they are all just crude drawings of Emilia Clark's tits and butt

Also, we'll know the ending after the show finishes, so while his "notes" might have important details, it's nothing that can't be filled in by dedicated superfans.

You say he should get superfans to ghostwrite the last two books, but if this happened y'all know it would be Linda and Elio and that would be a darker timeline than the books never coming out at all.

The "no pages" article GRRM keeps getting mad at was a joke.

There are probably already fanfic endings to ASOIAF. The problem is that they are all 100% hot, wet garbage. GRUM is a good writer, gotta admit that. I have a brilliant plan though: - do a kickstarter and hire some good writer to finish the books - change out all the names and places in the book to circumvent copyright, then let the buyers reverse the changes with an automatic script at home Probably illegal as gently caress. Gotta set up a scapegoat letter box company for this. Maybe also launder some money while doing it. Full transparency: I'm probably gonna grab the kickstarter money and run, so, there is that risk

I'd buy TWOW if GRRM added pov character that is a personal chef, the series need more food descriptions.

InFlames235 posted:Oh ok. Well I dunno why they didn't do that in other winters. I guess the best explanation is that he was waiting to build a big enough army of the dead over a long period of time before attacking. The current emerging winter is also predicted to be particularly long and harsh.

It's a few pages on from when this was originally mentioned, but the reason why the children of Catelyn and Lysa are likely to be Wargs is because the houses Stark, Arryn, and Whent all have stories from the age of heroes where members of their houses displayed Warg powers (for the Arryns riding giant falcons, and for the Whents control of giant bats.) Cat and Lysa's mother was Minisa Whent, so their children with Stark and Arryn fathers are primed to have warg powers if they are inheritable as it's implied they are. This is directly comparable to the Targaryens attempting to keep the power of dragonriding and dragon breeding in their family through inbreeding.

PostNouveau posted:The TV show is a better TV show than the books are books. As bad as those two books were, the show did it worse. Dorne, Winterfell, King's Landing, even in Arya in Braavos which I didn't think was possible, were all so much worse in the show. Hell, Meereen was worse. At least the book Meereen had Strong Belwas and Barristan wasn't killed off before he did anything. Dany was crazier and even less relatable and Meereen was more dull. Groovelord Neato posted:television shows and books are different media. I don't know why you're soldiering through either one if you're looking for good writing. That's my point.

Holy poo poo could the last couple seasons have been a little less dire with some Strong Motherfucking Belwas stealing scenes from Emilia Clark. If he wasn't tied up in the spaceman superhero movies maybe Bautista would have been cool.
