What does based mean? Based is a slang term that originally meant to be addicted to crack cocaine (or acting like you were), but was reclaimed by rapper Lil B for being yourself and not caring what others think of you—to carry yourself with swagger.

Hmm...so I guess the final season of GoT was based. So maybe based isn't good.

I dunno.

No, he just doesn't really like A Song of Ice and Fire very much.

He's still been putting out books. It's just about his dumb superhero setting where everything has goofy card names. Nobody reads it except the other people who write in the same setting (it's basically this club of authors roleplaying as superheroes, and I have no idea why they do it through books instead of just getting together for a weekend session), but that's his passion project.

That's what he thinks he is: a superheroes writer and a sci-fi writer. He doesn't really want to be "the biggest name in modern fantasy". If you like Game of Thrones, want him to write more, and never read his other stuff, he definitely hates you personally. He also hates that he needs to pander to you in order to make money. He would spit on you if he could, but he also needs you to keep working on the things he actually enjoys.

So that's why "Rise of the Dragon" will be coming out this fall. No, no, it's not a new A Song of Ice and Fire book. It's, uhhh, a lore supplement. It's not even really by him, it's mostly by the two people he has to do the grunt work for this sort of stuff. It will fill in some history of the setting for those who care about that sort of thing. So it's a metaphorical sort of spitting on the Game of Thrones fans that still remain, in exchange for their cash.

Why doesn't he just get a ghost writer and be done with the drat thing, or are The Fans adamant that he must personally give them millions of :words:?

tbh I feel for Writer Beard

like he's put decades of work into this and just.... doesn't want to continue or care to finish. There's nothing ultimately wrong with that.
He's done everything he wanted, and has probably had the next thing planned out for so goddamn long that every word is a painful chore.

let the man do what he wants, weird superhero nonsense or stealing all the donuts from a video game studio if that's what it is.

you be you, godspeed, beard man.

I assume he simply, despite not wanting to finish it, at least cares enough about it as "his baby."

Look at the clusterfuck the show turned into. As soon as they ran out of words he wrote to work with it completely fell apart into poo poo. As a creative, his stance is probably "better to die with it not done, than to let someone else gently caress it up."

his legacy collapses if the ending is bodged by an idiot.

Lol, he doesn't even write any Wild Card stories anymore.

He's just the editor now, and here's where it gets fun.

They've always been edited by George RR Martin and Melinda Snodgrass*, with both names originally equally prominent on the cover.

Then as George's star ascended her name got smaller and smaller till it vanished into just being a note on the interior.

N.b. she's still editing them, just every effort is made to conceal both that fact and that none of the contents are by GRRM just as long as they can plaster GEORGE RR MARTIN in ever bigger letters on the cover.

I am quite certain he's abandoned doing any actual editing now and she's doing all the actual work, he just gets paid to have his name on the cover.

Honestly at this point I'm wondering when was the last time he actually personally completed anything.

*Who is still actually writing stories for these books.

Got to love how they kept the pedophillia and incest but made a bunch of people from that family black because they didn't want to imply white supremacists are creepy weirdos.
