Must be a slow week in the US politics if the onion has time for any other topic :)
While I’m not 100% comfortable with his tithing, if Mr. Martin passes Sanderson could pull a Jordan.
Martin has already stated the he is not a fan of Sanderson’s style, specifically in regards to being a potential contingency author.
He also finishes things, which must really piss ol’ George off.
Yeah, Sanderson is great at what he does but A Song of Fire and Ice is not that.
Sanderson himself has also stated he would not be interested.
It’s the year 3576, the cyborg army has devastated the northern hemisphere, society has crumbled and all that remains are tiny groups of survivalists, George R R Martins is still working on finishing the ending.
George R R Martins is still
working on finishingthree books away from the ending.
George is a hack.
Luck is the secret behind many “great” things.
This title got me in the same way as writing someone’s age and name in a title
He’s not going to finish. I don’t care if he’s being pissy or if it’s in a vault somewhere. If he wants to be petty that way that’s his choice. But I’m a realist and that story will never complete.
Maybe he thinks we hate the ending? No George. We hate how the two chuckle fucks executed the ending so they could go work on Star Wars. The bones were pretty good in bullet points form.
C’mon, ghost authors can create good conclusions to grand epics. Remember the 7th Dune book? And uhmmm… The 8th Dune book…they were just so memorable, we all read them…right?
I felt like picasso did a rough sketch and his kid drew crayon all over it and tried to sell it as his own art.
George and Pat Rothfuss both have enough money in the bank that they don’t have to release their books to the public anymore. They probably still write for fun, but neither will ever release anything again.
Honestly, I think thats fine. It’s a shame I won’t get to see the ending of either series, but I also don’t have a shortage of things to read.
At least Martin has some quality under his belt. Rothfuss wrote 1.25 good books and just shit on his fans.

For me their mistake was
spoiler
wanting Danaerys’ downfall to be a huge internet-breaking shock moment, that people would react to the way they did to Ned Stark’s death or the Red Wedding. In their desperation to avoid spoiling the surprise, instead of a compelling 8-season study of her descent from idealism into madness we got Saviour Dany for six seasons followed by a small handful of half-assed “look, the clues were all there!” moments where she was put in a difficult position and chose the “I’m in charge, don’t mess with me” option, followed by one of the most abrupt clumsy heel turns outside of pro wrestling.
I met the guy at a signing. Total fucking loser asshole.
Ian Fleming’s estate published a few more James Bond books after he passed away.
Book 7 may just end up that way.
