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 1697 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 750 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 820 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 728 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 299 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 329 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 651 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 788 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 389 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 776 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 671 Views
bahahahahahahahahaha temeraire - 22/09/2010 06:10:26 AM 748 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 614 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 876 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 640 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 758 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 738 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 601 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 329 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 659 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 726 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 670 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 278 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 290 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 745 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 715 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 779 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 659 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 604 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 609 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 839 Views
Re: Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Werthead - 24/09/2010 08:55:29 AM 766 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 667 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 604 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 310 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 699 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 710 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 279 Views
I'm always amused by these threads. Variant - 24/09/2010 08:22:54 AM 692 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 672 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 316 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 704 Views
