We got half of a book when he published A Feast for Crows. He gutted half of the plotlines and saved the rest for a second book that is now taking the name of what was supposed to be the last book in the series. The book that was originally going to be A Dance With Dragons is now one or more books with no title as of yet.


ADWD was never the title of the last book in the series. The last book was for a long time called The Winds of Winter (which is now Book 6) before he realised there was no way that was going to fit into one book so split it in two, with the final book in the series now having the working title A Dream of Spring.

The 'current' ADWD is also pretty much the same book the 'original' ADWD was supposed to be, which is why the name hasn't changed. It just has a few extra chapters inherited from the original, pre-split AFFC featuring the characters in the aftermath of ASoS before moving onto the next major plot point.

I'm sure Tor is bitching him out


What does Tor have to do with ASoIaF?

Ok, Martin is published by Bantam...replace "Tor" with "Bantam" Tom - 18/09/2009 05:43:51 PM 575 Views
Nope, still doesn't work. Werthead - 18/09/2009 08:49:09 PM 550 Views
I would recommend you re-read my post - you're confusing me with someone else Tom - 18/09/2009 10:24:24 PM 499 Views

Is this the thread in which you'll FINALLY reveal... Joker - 20/09/2009 12:31:49 AM 449 Views
Remember what The Neil said: "GRRM is not your bitch!" *NM* Artsapat - 18/09/2009 07:32:47 AM 447 Views
I don't give a shit what Neil Gaiman thinks Tom - 18/09/2009 05:35:54 PM 446 Views
Gaiman = The Most Overrated Author of the New Milennium. *NM* Joker - 20/09/2009 12:33:10 AM 415 Views
In your opinion, of course. *NM* IndigoAjah - 20/09/2009 01:28:33 AM 422 Views
Yes, and this entire thread deals with opinions. Tom - 20/09/2009 01:52:21 AM 397 Views
I see the reason in that. IndigoAjah - 20/09/2009 02:13:46 AM 597 Views
I haven't even finished reading A Clash of Kings and I'm a touch annoyed by Martin already Brian - 20/09/2009 02:35:32 AM 515 Views
He might be a good comic book author, I don't know Tom - 20/09/2009 03:05:15 AM 471 Views
I see where there might be a misunderstanding. Werthead - 20/09/2009 03:05:24 AM 520 Views
You're the man, Wert. Joker - 20/09/2009 03:29:41 AM 502 Views
I can see my rule of not reading series that have not been finished is paying off. Camilla - 18/09/2009 11:00:37 AM 432 Views
Still ruling WOT, I see. How's that going? *NM* Craig - 18/09/2009 03:26:15 AM 394 Views
Very well, thanks DREWRULESWOT! - 18/09/2009 04:05:16 AM 472 Views

Sometimes...Neil Gaiman should be thrown into a meat grinder. Tom - 18/09/2009 05:49:56 PM 531 Views
You paid for a product. You got a product. That is the end of the matter in its entirety. Werthead - 18/09/2009 09:03:05 PM 494 Views
Was this well out of line, by any chance? Tom - 18/09/2009 10:25:57 PM 529 Views
damn you are rude *NM* imlad - 18/09/2009 10:51:19 PM 409 Views
Gosh. This is pretty tiring. Tom - 18/09/2009 11:25:51 PM 543 Views
So this guy still hasn't been banned yet, why exactly? Werthead - 19/09/2009 04:13:05 PM 525 Views
For several reasons. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/09/2009 10:15:38 PM 386 Views
Get off your high horse. Someone disagrees with you. Deal with it. *NM* Joker - 20/09/2009 12:35:24 AM 444 Views
No, this guy is breaching the forum rules on attacks and insults. Werthead - 20/09/2009 02:57:20 AM 439 Views
What would you call a good start? Chas - 20/09/2009 03:25:46 AM 425 Views
Oh please. Grow some thicker skin. Joker - 20/09/2009 03:26:33 AM 434 Views
You think this behaviour would have been tolerated on Wotmania? It definitely would not have been. Werthead - 20/09/2009 03:31:20 AM 462 Views
That is factually incorrect. *NM* Chas - 20/09/2009 03:38:06 AM 387 Views
"It" would have been. "It" was. Ghavrel - 20/09/2009 05:45:14 AM 463 Views
Depends on which section of wotmania you're thinking about Larry - 20/09/2009 06:54:00 AM 469 Views
Precisely. *NM* Craig - 20/09/2009 07:30:12 AM 387 Views
I half agree... fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 04:35:22 AM 449 Views
What's with the ad hominems, Tom? Larry - 20/09/2009 06:57:33 AM 424 Views
Nope, I'm someone simply a hell of a lot better informed about the situation then you. Deal with it. *NM* Werthead - 19/09/2009 02:40:07 AM 419 Views
"Than", not "then". Learn English while you're at it. *NM* Tom - 20/09/2009 01:47:56 AM 413 Views
Irony overdose. Again. Tashmere - 19/09/2009 06:28:49 AM 451 Views
WTF? Tom - 20/09/2009 01:49:23 AM 480 Views
fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 03:00:53 AM 463 Views
I'd agree with you except for the fact that there was the 'promise'. *NM* Chas - 19/09/2009 05:59:21 PM 366 Views
that would be very counter productive imlad - 18/09/2009 10:50:01 PM 424 Views
Depends on what you want. Tom - 18/09/2009 11:26:54 PM 416 Views
Gaiman would just turn the episode into an amazing graphic novel as he died. *NM* IndigoAjah - 19/09/2009 01:06:30 PM 430 Views
That's the most valid point of the argument. Chas - 18/09/2009 11:54:26 PM 478 Views
Agreed. Werthead - 19/09/2009 03:02:48 AM 457 Views
Now to me that supports Tom's point about 'reliance theory'. Chas - 19/09/2009 05:55:28 PM 467 Views
But a promise was never made. Werthead - 19/09/2009 06:04:55 PM 457 Views
I think we're hung up on the definition of "promise." Craig - 19/09/2009 07:14:30 PM 430 Views
Who is GGK and where is his article? + my opinion on Martin Asharak - 19/09/2009 07:55:01 PM 484 Views
This is where the great divide comes into play Werthead - 19/09/2009 08:10:09 PM 458 Views
I think he should take a page out of RJ's book fionwe1987 - 19/09/2009 08:36:55 PM 491 Views
Excellent point. Werthead - 19/09/2009 10:09:36 PM 546 Views
Re: Excellent point. fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 12:21:21 AM 474 Views
That would be the best policy. *NM* Chas - 19/09/2009 11:23:48 PM 373 Views

Exceptions prove the rule... Craig - 19/09/2009 08:42:39 PM 425 Views
Re: Exceptions prove the rule... Werthead - 19/09/2009 10:00:35 PM 443 Views
I think we're winding down here. Craig - 20/09/2009 07:41:15 AM 444 Views
Yeah. Chas - 19/09/2009 11:27:04 PM 477 Views
Don't mind me, I just can't post in the right place. *NM* Craig - 19/09/2009 07:13:25 PM 425 Views
