This is from an interview with Ira Parker, the showrunner for the Dunk and Egg series. He also mentioned the fifth installment will be the last with Egg as a child.

The man literally wants to do every damn side quest before finishing the original story.

If he's writing Dunk and Egg I better get some She-Wolves of Winterfell or I riot.

Some are hoping he kept true to his promise to finish TWOW before the next Dunk and Egg. Those sweet, summer children.

Unpopular opinion but I like Dunk & Eggs stories more than ASOIAF.

And now we’re vague booking on the blog.

quote:

Remember me?

It’s been a while, I know. My last blog post went up here on February 19.

The posts that came after were made by my mighty minions.

I am lucky enough to have a great staff of assistants… though even with their help, I kept falling further and further behind. This year has been… stressful, to say the least.

So much has been happening, it’s been overwhelming.

Some great things, exciting things. Dreams coming true.
But there have been nightmares too. I have lost friends.

Battled sadness and depression.

The worst may be yet to come.

I turned seventy-seven last September, and I tell you, getting old is no fun.

But there have been amazing times as well. I suppose that’s just life.

Of course, I knew that.

If you’ve read my stories, you know that. So much to post about… I will try and catch up some… and my minions will help… but my posts are likely to short and rushed. One highlight you may already know.

Emmy finalists for 2026 have been announced, and A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS nabbed nine nominations — yes, 9, not damn — including the big 0ne, Best Drama.

I mean he is all but admitting outright that he isnt even trying to finish ASOIAF anymore.

There's always an excuse for not writing. His friend died this time so that buys him a couple more years with his sympathizers. It's stopped him from writing just not the million other comic cons, book fairs, podcasts, etc.

He's supposedly writing more Dunk and Egg, he wrote and adapted Dark Winds (AMC), and he's in the process of adapting his Wild Card series.

He's writing, he's just not writing any ASOIAF outside of Dunk and Egg.

Is this any good?

I love the Tony Hillerman books but tried the first episode and it was pretty corny. Was curious if they followed the books closely. Might try it again if they do.

I haven't read the books but it's been ok. It's not my favorite show by any means. Zahn McClarnon really carries the show (and he's a favorite of mine).

I mean, at this point I'm not sure why any of you pay attention to him, it's been clear for over half a decade he wasn't going to finish anything. After COVID came and he literally couldn't leave the house and he didn't finish anything it was quite clear. People thought his ending was a joke with the TV series, he doesn't know how to fix it, so he just won't release anything rather than be ridiculed.

Can someone else finish it if he never does? There's some good writers out there who could mange it.

Somebody else certainly could be capable but I recall some time ago he said that he wouldn't allow anyone else to finish it, said it dies with him if he doesn't finish it. Which at this point is almost a certainty. But I'd love to be wrong

He actually said he'd documented for his literary executor to destroy any unfinished manuscripts and personal notes.

A lady wrote a sequel to Gone with the Wind. Seems like someone could finish up ASOIAF if he doesn't.

Of course he did. Because if his unfinished stuff was released we'd all see what has been obvious for years. The ending to his series is the exact same as the ending to the tv show. That's why he hasn't finished it. He saw the massive negative reaction to how the show ended and he doesn't know how to change it to make it better.

I've fought this notion for some time but now believe it to be true.

Some of that may be true, but it was still 8 years between the release of A Dance With Dragons and the final season of GOT. He was delaying and lollygagging long before people witnessed his ending.
