This is like Steve Jobs saying he only made Apple for himself and was going to liquidate all the assets of his company once he dies, and frick everyone else. Yeah you can keep your old iPhones and computers, but none are coming down the line.

Sorry, but that's not good enough. I'm an investor, and I demand a finished product. Stop sucking this fat turd off and enabling him. In the least he should say he's hired a ghost writer in the event of his death.

No it's not. Martin isn't worth 10.2 billion.

How are you an investor? Did you pay him to come up with that story? Did he come to you personally asking for money so he can write his books? Whether you bought paperback or hardback George RR Martin doesn't owe you shite.

I'm not enabling anyone. I'm allowing a human being to be a human being. Martin can do whatever he wants because I'm not his boss and neither are you.

quote:
If George RR Martin was anyone else save for Steven King and JKR, his publisher would have thrown him to the curb by now. This is not normal for a writer to write 3 books over 6 years, and then for all the next books all take the same amount of time to write as he did the previous 3. Who the frick does this? It's wrong to the fans. I don't think even George Lucas would do this shite.

You're probably somewhat right, if it was any other author the publisher would probably kick him to the crub. But it's not, and his books still sell, so the publisher doesn't give a frick. Also the publisher is probably looking at all he psycho fans that call him fat frick, and wager dead pools that they are probably loving how long it takes for him to write a book, because that means a lot of people are going to flock to the bookstore to get a copy of the next one. And before you say: well by the time it comes out no one is going to care anymore. To that I say, well... bye.

What does that matter?

Yes. I've bought all 5 books, bought the grand collection audiobook, bought 2 of the seasons on DVD, an HBO subscription, got the maps, the World of Ice and Fire, 2 t-shirts, a glass, some Game of Thrones beers, and a growler, all of which he's made a cut of. I've invested well into the three digits in hopes that this tubby a-hole finishes the novels. He owes it to us the fans.

I paid him to continue it.

Go suck off that tubby a-hole some more.

Yeah, lets have these expectations from everyone. Hey were you the one who suggested that Trump run for office? Did you hold stocks in Trump's company? Hey you may have voted for him, but Trump doesn't owe you shite!

Give me a break, if someone promises you something, then he better live up to it or have a damn good excuse why. He's one human being being selfish against millions of people. If he said he'd get a ghost writer after he dies instead of hoarding this all for himself, then I'd be ok, but he's a fat prick who deserves every bit of ridicule he receives.

so the publisher doesn't give a frick

You really think his publisher doesn't give a frick? Do you really think they're not incredibly pissed that the show is going to beat him to the punch and thus decreasing the book sales for what they would have been? Do you really think they're not completely pissed that he hasn't written another 6-8 books for them instead of him sitting on his fat arse all these years not doing shite? I guarantee they're just as pissed if not more so than we are.

They don't fricking care. They want him to release a damn book that they can sell tens of millions of.
