If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM
...that were absolutely incredible, and had people dying for more, and then decided he was done, that'd be fair. Same thing if he wrote and finished a trilogy.

But there is an agreement here. He started a series, there's an expectation he'll finish it. He does owe his fans something. At the very least, an article or blog post clearly explaining why he's having a hard time, or why he thinks it won't happen.


I've read his books, and they were good, but not great. I doubt I'll ever finish the series. But even I'm getting annoyed with him for the delay.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 1837 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 872 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 963 Views
I'm beginning to agree. - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 851 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 374 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 410 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 786 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 947 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 751 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1002 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 786 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 885 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 864 Views

There is more than an expectation. - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 844 Views
You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM 883 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 861 Views
Close enough - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 906 Views
Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost - 24/09/2010 12:58:10 AM 738 Views

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon? - 25/09/2010 03:36:45 PM 803 Views
That's why I always do. - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 729 Views

I don't plan to read it. - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 983 Views
As I said in a previous response... - 26/09/2010 11:15:13 PM 767 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 818 Views
Re: Nothing wrong with him if does have a high opinion of himself. *NM* - 26/09/2010 12:11:06 AM 336 Views
