hows does handing money to a third party count as a binding contract? its like saying the CEO of Tesco is my bitch cause i buy my Pringles and chocolates from them.
It can be argued. You are, in a way, paying his salary.
seriously, let the man write at his own pace, its not like you're sitting there with nothing else to read right? you do read other author's stuff i take it?
It's the principle of the thing. It falls me that people will still buy his next book even though it's plainly obvious he wishes he never started the series. A man has to meet the expectations he created. It's good business.
i do feel your frustration for the wait tho, i had a 9 year gap to fill between GS: TLA and GS: DD but i didn't bitch and the wait was totaly worth it, GS (golden sun) on the DS is so much better than the GBA. so hold your horses and GRRM will prolly surprise the pants off you.
It's not just him. Sadly, it seems to be vogue among authors to take years. Except for Brandon Sanderson. Dude is a machine.
Formerly Mat Bloody Cauthon on Wotmania, blessed be its name

Though not a fan of ASoIaF, I must agree with Nate et al: If you dislike his performance, fire him.

I don't think someone can be your bitch if you have no power or authority over them.
