So y'all just bitching? Variant Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM
Saying your fed up is different than saying I'm not going to buy his stuff. Of course I'll buy his book. That's what I'm waiting for and why I'm so peeved. He shouldn't be doing this to us yet he is and for that, he will lost a good deal of his audience because they'll stop caring. I still want to find out what happens so I'll buy the books. It's the people who stop complaining and move on who will not support him. If he keeps this up much longer, he'll have a fan base half the size of what it was. And that will happen when people stop making threads like these or websites about him finishing


I just get amused by people who complain about him not finishing the books, say that there's going to be consequences if he doesn't (eg. lose he's fanbase or whatnot)... then immediately go out and buy the book when in comes out. Maybe it's not inconsistent, but I find it amusing nonetheless.

You do realize there's alot of other books you can read in the mean time? Especially if you're interested in epic fantasy, lord knows there's a lot of it out there.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 2155 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1179 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1303 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 1186 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 505 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 540 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 1113 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1320 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 610 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1232 Views
I said I'm "growing" to hate him. I'm not ready to pay for his death yet. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:37:53 AM 1105 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 1075 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1334 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 1108 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1193 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1189 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 1047 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 541 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 1163 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 1204 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 1166 Views
I stopped caring so long ago I don't even remember much of what it's about. *NM* Macharius - 22/09/2010 04:21:52 PM 512 Views
Wolves and incest and a big wall of ice with barrow-wights on the other side. *NM* Tom - 23/09/2010 03:36:19 AM 503 Views
You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? Larry - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM 1217 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1192 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1221 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1120 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 1053 Views
Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost Tashmere - 24/09/2010 12:58:10 AM 1057 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1307 Views

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon? Aeryn - 25/09/2010 03:36:45 PM 1122 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 1059 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 530 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1307 Views
As I said in a previous response... Larry - 26/09/2010 11:15:13 PM 1085 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 1162 Views
Re: Nothing wrong with him if does have a high opinion of himself. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:11:06 AM 479 Views

Truly, there's really no reason that you can't be both angry at him and planning to buy the book. Kotagg - 25/09/2010 12:46:03 AM 1127 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 502 Views
