That's the most valid point of the argument. Chas Send a noteboard - 18/09/2009 11:54:26 PM
not being out yet. I just read ASoIaF over the past two weeks and I'm extrememly frustrated by his little note at the end of Feast for Crows. I mean seriously, saying that he's gonna have DoD out in 2006 and he hasn't even finished the first draft yet as of mid 2009?



I don't think many people would be anywhere near as pissed, annoyed or whatever if he didn't keep making statements about when the book is going to be done and published. Case in point the statement referred to here.


GGK wrote an article about this very thing not so long ago. If you're going to engage the fans and promise them things- don't be surprised when there's backlash.

Ok, Martin is published by Bantam...replace "Tor" with "Bantam" Tom - 18/09/2009 05:43:51 PM 584 Views
Nope, still doesn't work. Werthead - 18/09/2009 08:49:09 PM 556 Views
I would recommend you re-read my post - you're confusing me with someone else Tom - 18/09/2009 10:24:24 PM 510 Views

Is this the thread in which you'll FINALLY reveal... Joker - 20/09/2009 12:31:49 AM 456 Views
Remember what The Neil said: "GRRM is not your bitch!" *NM* Artsapat - 18/09/2009 07:32:47 AM 495 Views
I don't give a shit what Neil Gaiman thinks Tom - 18/09/2009 05:35:54 PM 452 Views
Gaiman = The Most Overrated Author of the New Milennium. *NM* Joker - 20/09/2009 12:33:10 AM 424 Views
In your opinion, of course. *NM* IndigoAjah - 20/09/2009 01:28:33 AM 428 Views
Yes, and this entire thread deals with opinions. Tom - 20/09/2009 01:52:21 AM 403 Views
I see the reason in that. IndigoAjah - 20/09/2009 02:13:46 AM 604 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 522 Views
He might be a good comic book author, I don't know Tom - 20/09/2009 03:05:15 AM 482 Views
I see where there might be a misunderstanding. Werthead - 20/09/2009 03:05:24 AM 528 Views
You're the man, Wert. Joker - 20/09/2009 03:29:41 AM 511 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 442 Views
Still ruling WOT, I see. How's that going? *NM* Craig - 18/09/2009 03:26:15 AM 403 Views
Very well, thanks DREWRULESWOT! - 18/09/2009 04:05:16 AM 482 Views

Sometimes...Neil Gaiman should be thrown into a meat grinder. Tom - 18/09/2009 05:49:56 PM 538 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 503 Views
Was this well out of line, by any chance? Tom - 18/09/2009 10:25:57 PM 537 Views
damn you are rude *NM* imlad - 18/09/2009 10:51:19 PM 417 Views
Gosh. This is pretty tiring. Tom - 18/09/2009 11:25:51 PM 556 Views
So this guy still hasn't been banned yet, why exactly? Werthead - 19/09/2009 04:13:05 PM 536 Views
For several reasons. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/09/2009 10:15:38 PM 395 Views
Get off your high horse. Someone disagrees with you. Deal with it. *NM* Joker - 20/09/2009 12:35:24 AM 455 Views
No, this guy is breaching the forum rules on attacks and insults. Werthead - 20/09/2009 02:57:20 AM 449 Views
What would you call a good start? Chas - 20/09/2009 03:25:46 AM 435 Views
Oh please. Grow some thicker skin. Joker - 20/09/2009 03:26:33 AM 442 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 471 Views
That is factually incorrect. *NM* Chas - 20/09/2009 03:38:06 AM 393 Views
"It" would have been. "It" was. Ghavrel - 20/09/2009 05:45:14 AM 469 Views
Depends on which section of wotmania you're thinking about Larry - 20/09/2009 06:54:00 AM 475 Views
Precisely. *NM* Craig - 20/09/2009 07:30:12 AM 395 Views
I half agree... fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 04:35:22 AM 459 Views
What's with the ad hominems, Tom? Larry - 20/09/2009 06:57:33 AM 430 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 426 Views
"Than", not "then". Learn English while you're at it. *NM* Tom - 20/09/2009 01:47:56 AM 421 Views
Irony overdose. Again. Tashmere - 19/09/2009 06:28:49 AM 460 Views
WTF? Tom - 20/09/2009 01:49:23 AM 485 Views
fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 03:00:53 AM 471 Views
I'd agree with you except for the fact that there was the 'promise'. *NM* Chas - 19/09/2009 05:59:21 PM 374 Views
that would be very counter productive imlad - 18/09/2009 10:50:01 PM 431 Views
Depends on what you want. Tom - 18/09/2009 11:26:54 PM 424 Views
Gaiman would just turn the episode into an amazing graphic novel as he died. *NM* IndigoAjah - 19/09/2009 01:06:30 PM 438 Views
That's the most valid point of the argument. Chas - 18/09/2009 11:54:26 PM 486 Views
Agreed. Werthead - 19/09/2009 03:02:48 AM 467 Views
Now to me that supports Tom's point about 'reliance theory'. Chas - 19/09/2009 05:55:28 PM 475 Views
But a promise was never made. Werthead - 19/09/2009 06:04:55 PM 464 Views
I think we're hung up on the definition of "promise." Craig - 19/09/2009 07:14:30 PM 436 Views
Who is GGK and where is his article? + my opinion on Martin Asharak - 19/09/2009 07:55:01 PM 491 Views
This is where the great divide comes into play Werthead - 19/09/2009 08:10:09 PM 464 Views
I think he should take a page out of RJ's book fionwe1987 - 19/09/2009 08:36:55 PM 499 Views
Excellent point. Werthead - 19/09/2009 10:09:36 PM 570 Views
Re: Excellent point. fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 12:21:21 AM 484 Views
That would be the best policy. *NM* Chas - 19/09/2009 11:23:48 PM 381 Views

Exceptions prove the rule... Craig - 19/09/2009 08:42:39 PM 433 Views
Re: Exceptions prove the rule... Werthead - 19/09/2009 10:00:35 PM 452 Views
I think we're winding down here. Craig - 20/09/2009 07:41:15 AM 457 Views
Yeah. Chas - 19/09/2009 11:27:04 PM 484 Views
Don't mind me, I just can't post in the right place. *NM* Craig - 19/09/2009 07:13:25 PM 432 Views
