My vote is for GRRM. Narg Send a noteboard - 11/08/2021 12:57:37 AM

With regard to RJ, I think it is hardly a certainty that he lengthened the series for commercial reasons when his own poor planning and writing style are equally probable and sufficient reasons for the ballooning of the series. None of us knows for sure. In any case, in RJ's defense he was trying to give his fans what they wanted even while he was fighting for his life. He even allowed for another author to finish his work, a decision that would have been quite personally painful.

GRRM just quit trying quite a while ago. Its been 10 years since the last book. He could have finished book 6 by now but he just doesn't care. He has been giving his fans a morbidly obese middle finger for years. He has let his readers down much more than RJ IMO.




A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Who has let readers down more, Robert Jordan or Georgerr Martin? Tom - 01/08/2021 05:43:47 PM 496 Views

WRONG! Book 4 and 5 are Fabulous, and the prequels are more fun as individual stories Roland00 - 02/08/2021 07:13:02 PM 171 Views

RJ not for dying, but instead for giving us books 7 to 10 (I never did 11) Roland00 - 02/08/2021 07:10:33 PM 182 Views
If Jordan had died after Book VI and the series remained unfinished, it would have been better Tom - 02/08/2021 08:02:11 PM 180 Views
We agree in a lot with this Roland00 - 02/08/2021 11:06:26 PM 136 Views
I notice you also un-corrected my corrected "Georgerr Martin" Tom - 04/08/2021 07:10:50 PM 251 Views

Very good point Tom - 04/08/2021 06:46:14 PM 224 Views
Martin has definitely frustrated his fans and tested their patience far more... Legolas - 03/08/2021 09:05:21 PM 196 Views
Remember in 2019 he said his fans can lock him up in a cabin if Book 6 was not out by mid 2020 Roland00 - 04/08/2021 02:06:24 AM 156 Views
"Not as strong of a finisher" may be the understatement of the year Tom - 04/08/2021 06:48:03 PM 198 Views
another good point damookster - 04/08/2021 06:58:32 PM 168 Views
Brazil started well against Germany for the first 10 minutes of the 2014 World Cup too Tom - 04/08/2021 07:09:11 PM 207 Views
Well, okay, so far I guess he's not a finisher at all, strong or otherwise. Legolas - 07/08/2021 06:20:39 PM 160 Views
I think Martin's problem is being a perfectionist. AgentApple - 15/08/2021 01:01:03 PM 133 Views
Maybe if he were good at writing... *NM* Ghavrel - 16/08/2021 09:15:30 AM 159 Views
