I binge-watched all 8 seasons of GOT after it ended. I don’t know how I’m gonna survive waiting for these episodes to come out each week.

This tells me that Martin will never write another line for GoT or anything related to it. He is going to be rich without doing a thing.


And how many books have you written, Sparky? How many TV series? I get people are annoyed he hasn't officially written the ending of ASOIAF, but the man has definitely done more than "a thing".

I would be all in on a spin off on the Doom of Valyria.

However I think the Dunk and Egg stories as well as the Snow spin off have the most possibility of irreverent, bawdy characters that would be fun to follow, especially if Giantsbane and Dolorous Edd are involved.

As far as the books go, I'm pretty sure that the Velaryons never rode dragons. I think the first ones to ever do so were the two kids of Corlys and Rhaenys, which I'm guessing they only had the opportunity to do because their mother was the Queen Who Never Was.

Alicent Hightower is a teenager but not a lesbian, at least not in the history, as she is married in the near future.

For some it seems like the time of the month. Why some of you takes things so personal. I was posting in jest and no I do not expect him to ever write anything again nor do I really care.

Again just having fun but maybe to much for you sparky.

Yeah, no, so your false comparison fails stupidly.

project is Kit Harington’s idea. The working title of the show is Snow, and Harington himself brought in his team of writers and showrunners for the project, though Martin decided not to reveal their names yet.



So take the role that eventually typecast and killed your career, and ride it into the ground as you get one last big payday. Smart move.

And this is why you are on a message board and GRRM is happily living the life. He was a successful author and TV screenwriter before ASOIAF. He then created such a wonderful fantasy world, it attracted the megamillions coming in for the intellectual property rights. I doubt there was anything in the HBO contract about having to finish the books.

There has been a TV void since GoT season 7, and this is filling it for me

Kit isn't a great actor so going to the well again is a good idea.
