A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin) Book • Page 14

Please lock this thread until WoW is officially announced.

 

Brandon let slip recently he doesn’t like the series so very doubtful.

 

WoW's been out for at least 20 years, man.

 

Didn’t GRRM specifically say he wouldn’t let anyone else finish the series if he wasn’t able to?

 

Yes, on several occasions.

 

Well he has had 14 years since the last book and he hasn't made much progress in that time lol

 

As long as those two assholes don't have anything to do with this series again, then I'm indifferent about what happens at this point. It bums me out.

Also I'm totally blanking on their names, so if anyone knows who I'm talking about just based off that, I'd appreciate it. lol

 

Elio Garcia and Linda Anotonsson

 

It’s so over. Lol

 

"I have to get back"
Yes George, you do if you want to write.

"I wish it would come faster"

 

GEORGE. Cmon my man.

 

Oh George. We understand you don’t have to spend every waking minute writing Winds of Winter but come on my man, it’s been 14 years.

George R.R. Martin Hits Back at Frustrated 'Game of Thrones' Fans

“I know, I know,” Martin wrote. “Some of you will just be pissed off by this, as you are by everything I announce here that is not about Westeros or THE WINDS OF WINTER. You have given up on me, or on the book. I will never finish WINDS, If I do, I will never finish A DREAM OF SPRING. If I do, it won’t be any good. I ought to get some other writer to pinch hit for me…I am going to die soon anyway, because I am so old. I lost all interest in A Song of Ice and Fire decades ago. I don’t give a shit about writing any longer, I just sit around and spend my money. I edit the Wild Cardsbookstoo, but you hate Wild Cards. You may hate everything else I have ever written, the Hugo-winners and Hugo-losers, “A Song for Lya” and DYING OF THE LIGHT, “Sandkings” and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, “This Tower of Ashes” and “The Stone City,” OLD MARS and OLD VENUS and ROGUES and WARRIORS and DANGEROUS WOMEN and all the other anthologies I edited with my friend Gardner Dozois. You don’t care about any of those, I know. You don’t care about anything but WINDS OF WINTER. You’ve told me so often enough.”

damn that's kinda sad to hear.

but then again, he does have money to cry into

 

Would just like to add context from the full blog post that it didn't sound like he actually meant that, he was just reiterating what people have said online.
