Here's the thing... ajah Send a noteboard - 02/10/2010 08:23:14 AM
... GRRM is not OBLIGATED to write the final books.

However, I don't know how he can live with himself if he procrastinates and never finishes. I mean, we are talking the crown jewel in his life's work here.

I can barely live with myself if I commit to taking a class and not following through -- I can't imagine becoming that big of a flake.

Finish what you start. Fulfill your vision. Those are important values. GRRM should do it for himself, not his fans.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 2007 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1042 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1148 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 1046 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 441 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 477 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 951 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1139 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 546 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1081 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 966 Views
bahahahahahahahahaha temeraire - 22/09/2010 06:10:26 AM 1058 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 933 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1178 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 954 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1057 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1039 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 910 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 478 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 1028 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 1023 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 1017 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 443 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 441 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 1064 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1039 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1080 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 957 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 899 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 885 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1147 Views
Re: Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Werthead - 24/09/2010 08:55:29 AM 1058 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 988 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 901 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 466 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1155 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 1005 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 407 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 975 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 442 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 991 Views
