This is one of the dumbest threads and subjects ever.
- Would fans have been as faithful and devout if they knew he didn't care if he finished the story?
- Whoever posed that question probably posed it in a way to save his arse, blaming it on the fans and acting like he is going to die tomorrow.
- Leaving an outline is nowhere near the same as finishing the series yourself. RE: Dune 7 and 7.5.
- Martin lets himself into the spotlight willingly. You want to be an attention whore, deal with the consequences of that desire.
- George RR Martin is a self-entitled piece of crap. Anyone that says otherwise is saying so based on their fanboy attitude towards GoT. I've bought every book, and even have HBO year-round for the show. Doesn't mean I have to like the author.
- His inability to sit down and give his fans the 6th and 7th books instead of putting them off is a bigger F*** YOU than that question.
Anyone that expects Martin to stay ahead of the show is fooling themselves at this point. It won't even be close. He seems to have no sense of responsibility towards his fans to finish the series. Without that, who knows what will happen? Who cares at this point. I'm so tired of this prick and pretty much everything that he does. I don't even want him to have the satisfaction of "altering" the ending that he gave the HBO series for his own ego. Let them run with it and hopefully that is the end of it.

It's interesting seeing the different kind of responses on different websites. Reddit has a thread on this topic and the majority of people there are defending Martin and telling everyone criticizing Martin to frick off.

Well if you're waiting on D&D to tell the ending of this story then you're really fricked because they've shown nothing to prove they are capable of finishing the story in any way that will leave fans satisfied.
You will get a rushed story that leaves out huge parts that D&D deem aren't important to the story while getting the ending spoiled for you.
And why do people always say he no longer cares? He does care. Very deeply about this series. What he doesn't care for is fans asking every day about when the next book is coming out. And when/if he's gonna die.
Why can't he enjoy his success? He works relentlessly at this series. There are so many things in asoiaf that you haven't even dreamed about that tie in or are clues to the story. It takes time to put all of that together.

Oh wow you've read ALL the books and subscribe to HBO?!?! Your dedication to ASOIAF knows no bounds! Thank God we have people like you around to ensure the survival of the series! All Martin has to do is sit around and write 1000+ pages, making sure that the overly complex storyline actually works out and makes sense. Screw him...
If you really want to blame anyone, then blame his publisher for being so lenient with his deadlines.
