I know. My joke was that I have no shame and would feed into his indulgence of writing anything but the book we want.

I remember reading through this whole thread after finishing Dance I guess 12 years or so ago and can’t believe been keeping up with it that long.

So I searched for a while trying to find my first post. Page 503 I think. December 2013.

My second post:

I don't dislike him, and feel bad for him obviously. But Bran's story just puts me to sleep.


Which in turn reulted in a prophetic reply as far as the show goes by ThereAndBackAgain...

This isn’t half as damning as it being 8 years after the release of season 6, which he said he was trying very hard to get WoW out before and that he was close.

I remember him lamenting being unable to get it out by the December 31st deadline like it was a nail biter.

He complained so bitterly about media like Lost not ending things correctly and now he’s going to eat his way to the seven hells with only the show ending as our resolution. At least we know it bothers him or he wouldn’t say anything about it

This is not counting Dunk and Egg since filming began in June for a targeted premiere of June 2025.

this guy did a thorough and rigorous analysis to predict the date when TWOW is most likely to be released, and i find it highly believable to be honest:

I honestly can't believe we are still waiting on this guy for this many years. At this point, there is no reason not to believe that the books will be release posthumously.

If he dies before they are released, which he will, they are not getting released posthumously. He's already said that his works die with him. He's not written enough to release anything and he's not allowing anyone else to finish his story.

I bet everyone dollar he’s sitting on a fire and blood style book ending the series in glorified cliff note form. Probably has it in writing for it to be released upon his likely sudden death.

Not happening Martin has said his whole career that he just doesn’t write like that. He doesn’t work off of outlines. He has a vague idea of what point he wants to get to and figures it out as he goes along. Which is a big reason he hasn’t finished them. He doesn’t know how to get from where he’s at to where he’s going.
