I've heard George R.R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss are teaming up to write a new book together. Chris Roberts has agreed to publish it.

Patrick Rothfuss is really terrible though, his main character is a famous business owner and hero with a giant dick who’s also under 30 years old and constantly saves the world. Gimme a homeless, 50 year old fantasy hero with a weird dick and more than one addiction who saves the multiverse from an indescribably evil and complex threat, that’s what I want in a book.

The Pig With the Big Balls we've all looked at has tiny, shriveled up raisins compared to George RR Martin for helping out with a prequel before finishing the book he swore he was going to finish back in 2005 or whatever while he was collaborating with HBO to do a tv series, so the writers of THAT project could finish it for him, because he painted himself into a corner. He's a fart bag.

IMO, it's very unfair to compare GRRM to Rothfuss.Rothfuss wrote... two thirds of a book. One book that did well but left a whole lot unresolved, one really crummy sequel to try and continue the trilogy, and then... Then he fled the whole fantasy scene in shame. GRRM has an absolutely massive body of work collected over the years. Guy made a lot of books and short stories. Pretty sure he's still putting out new material, too. It's just that I'm pretty sure he hates A Song of Fire And Ice/Game of Thrones, or maybe just really hates the fans, and is intentionally loving with them.

In all honesty, I think Martin was a victim of his own prejudice. What made Song so amazing (for those who did like it) for the first three, beyond the world building, was the plot twists, a lot of which were built on taking the most common plot aspects of such worlds/stories and throwing them out, primarily plot armor. Unfortunately, seen as a whole, it really reads like a man who consumed so much fantasy with these stock plots and characters that he fell into the familiarity breeds contempt trap, and he wrote his books almost with an undertone of not only not following those plots, but spitefully throwing them in the reader's faces. The noble non liar? Oh, he gets his head cut off by the lunatic boy king and basically gets his whole family killed because not only does he not want to play games, he has no capacity to do so, and yet he entered such a place out of a sense of 'honor'. The young king breaks his promise and marries someone else? Oops, same bullshit games gets everyone in his party killed. Why'd he do that, oh his mother treated his supposed bastard half brother who the young king deeply cared for terribly, hence he likely had a subconscious fear to never father a bastard, hence when someone slept with him, he married her near immediately? And so on. Except there's a REASON that classics are what they are, and tearing up everything and throwing it out the window might not lead to new and interesting roads, but rather, dead ends with you no longer able to move anywhere because all the usual hooks have been destroyed. It says a lot that the first three books came out within five years, the next two were considered much lower quality and came out over the space of twice that time, and there's been no book in that series for 12 years since. Between ripping all the 'usual' methods to bits and being unable to find a good replacement, Martin's in a pit where he feels his world is now just too vast and bloated to proceed forward, and he's given up. Basically, at this point, the best we're probably gonna get is a Duke Nukem Forever situation with someone else taking up the bloated mess of whatever he's done and paring it down into something resembling a conclusion just so IT IS DONE AND PUBLISHED.
