Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days...
Tom Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM
I am just starting a nice little place here for people who are growing to hate him.
Robert Jordan put out a book, died, managed to get another book out and has a second one set for release on Election Day (Erection Day for those of you in Japan), and George R.R. Martin is in Australia dicking around and still hasn't gotten out his book.
This post is not for people who want to get defensive and post what Neil "I think I'm God but I'm really just a shitty comic book writer" Gaiman had to say on the subject.
This is for people who just want to vent, for people who want to utter voodoo curses and generally shit on Martin's scraggly cat-loving beard.
Let me link some of the better Martin hate sites out there. One still links wotmania (yay!...er, I think...or should I be sad?).
"Finish the Book, George" (nice, Canterbury Tales-ish appearance)
http://grrrm.livejournal.com/
"The Slothenly Author" (cute chick photo is an added plus)
http://krkreuk.livejournal.com/
"Is Winter Coming?" (I'm sure Cersei is, somewhere)
http://iswintercoming.proboards.com/
Ah...I feel better already, knowing there are people out there who are as fed up as I am.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him.

Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series.

I said I'm "growing" to hate him. I'm not ready to pay for his death yet.

If I was an author I wouldn't defend him.

I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were".

If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning.

You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right?

There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz.

Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon?

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God?

Truly, there's really no reason that you can't be both angry at him and planning to buy the book.
