What the fuck is his problem?
What the fuck is his problem?
The imminent heart attack.
He's obese, in his mid 70s, and the last time he published a book was in 2011. He's never finishing the series, the HBO ending is the only one we'll ever get.
He knows that if he finishes the series with the ending he was setting up he'll be publicly crucified then metoo'd.
He doesn't even know if he'll get 'em finished, let alone when. Did you really need to start a thread for that?
He won't say because he doesn't know. The novelization of Season 8 will be the canon ending now as he'll be dead before he gets round to writing the last book.
>the last time he published a book was in 2011.
He published a Dance of the dragons (Targaryen civil war) anthology book just this year. That's what's so frustrating.
he'll die before the next book
HBO paid him to keep his mouth shut about the books.
He's contractually obligated NOT to publish more /got/ books until the show is over, possibly even after that.
Bookfags seem unable to grasp this simple fact.
>metoo'd
How so
His books are literally feminist girl-power fantasy
Its easier to create new stories when you wrote yourself into a cornet
Also Wild Cards and an anthology with Dozois. He's pretty fucking productive, he just doesn't care about finishing GoT trash.
No they aren't, Daenerys was wrong about literally everything and insane to boot, Cersei was a crazy, hysterical hypocrite, Kat was also a hysterical hypocrite who made Jon's life hell even though she knew he wasn't really Ned's son. Arya is a little shit who constantly fucks up everything as well. Sansa in the books doesn't even have a personality, she doesn't do anything.
If he actually went through with concluding those character arcs he'd completely excommunicated though.
Kat had no idea Ned wasn't the real father right?
She knew from the beginning, Ned would have never been able to lie to his wife. She still hated Jon anyway.
source? i thought she had no idea.
Yeah he's still hugely prolific despite what people say, but he's afraid of turning out a disappointment for his crowning work so he'd rather leave people to speculate and die before finishing them.
You thought she had no idea because you're either autistic and completely failed to comprehend Ned's characterization or never read the books at all, it's incredibly obvious.
Then he is a monumental faggot.
Guarantee it'll be released this year or next.
I honestly think HBO made a stipulation in the contract not to release any books directly pertaining to the events that will unfold. That way the show has no competition and even more importantly any crazy shit Martin will probably do for the end won't be in there because their budget can only handle so much.
I fully believe he finished Winds decided no point on starting dream until he released winds so he made the book on history as filler to keep himself occupied.

That would be the ultimate GRRM move.
What the fuck is wrong with books being about women empowerment?
Holy fucking shit mate, grow up.
you bookfags are the fucking worst holy shit
provide sauce which shows she knew all along or fuck off. Ned was stoic enough to keep the secret even from his wife because he knew that if anyone, especially his wife, knew about the truth Jon would've been murdered. without question.
ThisRobert was on a warpath on anyone related to the Targaryans and even sanctioned Dany's death when she was born. Ned know this because was the one who dissuade against killing Dany despite Robert and Jon Arryn being all for it.
this, though I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of Dream is done too. From what I've read usually he'll write a bunch of one character at a time and individual characters will have plot written past where a book will end.
He's a fucking retard if he did because if he'd released the book before the final season it'd probably have sold at least 3 times as much. Hell if I was his publisher and that clause existed I'd sue for lost earnings.
>Implying it will be released
>Ever
Fatso will die of fat and his saga will never be finished.
>decide to write a fantasy saga, literature's worse genre
>somehow get an adaptation on tv
>it works, you're now rich as fuck from a stupid work
>you don't have much time left on this earth but can now enjoy the best things in life while being praised worldwide for your teenage story with dragons
Why would he give a fuck? I understand him perfectly.
Obviously waiting for fan reaction to the show ending then will proceed accordingly
Or more likely he doesn't see the point since the fans have figured out how it ends already. People were figuring out R+L=J in the 90s for fuck's sake.
>8 years
>eight fucking years
nobody even cares about the book anymore. once the show is finished this series will be forgotten.
i don't watch the show or read the books, has the show caught up to the books? has it passed and moved beyond? when the show ends, won't the story too? is the new book just gonna catch up to the show. that seems unlikely.
Dance of Dragons made him a perfectionist. It's actually the best written book in the series from both a narrative and prose point of view. I guess he just demands more and more of himself with the books being so popular now.
I hope that they pass this on to Kevin J Anderson after the fat fuck dies, he'll finish it in under a year.
The shows been looking at the book in the rearview mirror for a while now.
He doesn't know how to make a coherent product of this mess so, he's stalling
I stop watching the show around the time Oberyn was introduced.
Was Zombie Kat, Sevenstrings and Clegane and the whole thieves resistance fighters a thing in the TV series?
Thats what i want to know about in the next books. Along with Jon Covington and Aegon. Was Aegon in the series too?
He didn't become a multimillionaire because of his book sales you fool. He was doing well for himself for sure but HBO made him rich. Only a fool would turn down 50 million because of a stipulation that you can't release more books till its over. That dude is gonna have cake and eat it too, his books are going to sell like crazy after the series ends and he can finally release them.
No. They're cut. The show does not care about a single thing now but wrapping this shit up.
Been very satisfying to see all the bookfags forced to become showfags just to see how their precious books end lololol. I bought one of those books, it had Sean Bean on the cover and made it like 20 pages. No point reading this shit, saved me a lot of time to watch porn instead. That's how I found out Sahara Knite, she was in GoT. She's some british indian chick and did all sorts of anal fucking. The show didn't have enough anal in it that's for sure. And also, what's the deal with GRRM anyway. I saw a pic of him once and he was surrounded by nubian goddesses. Does he like the dark chocolate? Is he a fan of the ebony elixir. There should have been scenes of finding a temple full of exotic dark as midnight skinned women where the fucking is all anal. So many missed opportunities. I mean I would have at least cast Kira Noir and Ana Foxxx in a couple scenes for sure. Kira Noir was in Kingdom though. Did some decent acting too, of course she was playing a whore but in that her range is pretty fine.

This post is goddamn poetic
HBO is making no less than 4 spinoffs of Game of Thrones. One is about Dunk and Egg. They'll be keep Westeros alive for a long time.
if he started writing NOW and literally spent every waking second writing until he dropped dead on the floor, he might get a first draft finished but i doubt it
>implying that he didn’t just have a team of interns do it for him
All of those will flop. People are only watching now because they're invested. They are most certainly not going to bother with trashy D&D OC characters.
He hates the show, he hates the show fans and he is dying on the inside. He has no will to finish the books. Add onto that that he is rolling in money, and it all suddenly makes sense. I doubt we'll ever see Winds of Winter.
don't listen to that retard, she had no idea
if she knew, she would have zero reason to hate him or try to throw him out; the one time in their marriage Ned actually became furious with her
now as to why Ned never told her, who can say?
my guess always was that it would have just sounded like an excuse to her
They're going to run this into the ground like The Walking Dead. In a few years everyone will hate the franchise because of these inferior spin offs.
It's full of rape and men fucking little girls.
incredible. Simply incredible.
>She knew from the beginning
She didn't you retard. There are like three books where we read her inner monologue of being pissy that Jon is Ned's son.
>wait for the show to end
>release book after that using the "how it really ended!!" marketing campaign
>maximize profits
Inaccurate because he still writes a lot. He just doesn't write the books anyone wants. Prepare for a 454 page treatise on Food and Drink of the Summer Isles: Unearthed Pleasures.
He's a BBC patrician
Wouldn't it be just the best thing ever if he lied on pretty much everything? If everything season 6 and onwards doesn't happen at all? Not even the main story beats?
That only works if people hate the show ending a lot.
Thats only one. Another is a feminist fantasy about how Dorne was discovered. Its about a princess Arya's direwolf is named after.
IRON MAN DIES.
CAPTAIN AMERICA GOES TO THE PAST FOREVER. HE GETS THE BIG HAMMER.
Thanos dies 3 times in this film:
1) At the start of the movie, they travel to Titan to get him, it turns out he has already destroyed all the stones and Thor kills him cutting his head off
2)After time skip Tony builds his own infinity gauntlet and portal to Quantum Realm and they begin time travelling to events of previous films to collect all the stones in past before the events of Infinity War, they meet Thanos again, Tony kills him, uses gauntlet to bring all heroes and villians including Thanos back to life
3)Big cinematic battle between literally everyone in MCU's history happens and Thanos is killed for good
no, he's just a lazy fat fuck
Finish the book nigger
>get basic information wrong

Martin doesn't really know how to end long story epics. He's a TV writer. He thrived on creating new setting and situations, but he had to leave it for the writing room to figure out the endgame of the scenario.
Add in he's now quite wealthy and his contract is an old style one from almost 30 years ago. (Which prevents the publishing company from coming after his ass)
Last time he wrote a line for TWoW was in 2010. Let that sink in for a second.
so the upcoming books will be like a novelization of the tv show? or will it catch back up and go even further.
Does anyone really care at this point? I enjoyed reading the books at the time but after nearly a decade I just don't care anymore and probably wouldn't read the last books even if they were released tomorrow.
Source required
Didnt he release like a chapter from TWoW or some shit maybe two years ago
He likes writing setup and mythology more than endings. If anything he sucks at endings based upon his other work.
He obviously lost the threads of the story when he found out that the originally planed time jump he was going to do after Book 3 wouldn't work.
also, I should clarify
there's nothing in the books to say she knew
in fact, there are parts of the book which strongly imply she had no idea
>Whoever Jon’s mother had been, Ned must have loved her fiercely, for nothing Catelyn said
would persuade him to send the boy away. It was the one thing she could never forgive him. She
had come to love her husband with all her heart, but she had never found it in her to love Jon.
no one cares fag
>Reddit spacing

thanks user... for saving me from watching this cape shit
>Didnt he release like a chapter from TWoW or some shit maybe two years ago
Keep in mind. LARGE parts of TWOW are cut chapters that didn't make it into A Dance With Dragons.
No. He actually released a few excerpts. One of them is a chapter about Arya being raped.
Those chapters are stuff that were supposed to be in ADwD
way past is, but there's so many differences starting around season 3 that the last two books will be totally different from what happened in the show.
Imagine being this retarded. Luckily, in the future people like you will never be conceived in the first place.
imagine caring about capeshit spoilers
In the book she says that Jon is the only one who looks mostly like Ned
He can't write satisfying endings.
He has a habit as a writer of saving his "silver bullet" for gotcha moments. (Both in his stories and when he debates people) The problem is that if this bullet isn't the winner he hopes it is then he usually has nothing.
Also, the time gap portion he removed greatly fucked the story over. He was going to have a 5-6 gap where characters got older, wiser, and gaining new skills. (It was also going to be the part where Dany learns that it's easy to capture/sack a city, but much harder to actually rule it.)
The show over took the novels. Anything released will be tainted. Best we can hope for is a Brandon Sanderson to pick up the slack and ruin the series once and for good.
Probably because he didn't know how to end the story. D&D for all their sins, at least where able to craft a scenario where all the main characters are now united in the end.
>He has a habit as a writer of saving his "silver bullet" for gotcha moments. (Both in his stories and when he debates people) The problem is that if this bullet isn't the winner he hopes it is then he usually has nothing.
This is a surprisingly accurate summation of his main flaw. Especially since it's obvious how angry he gets when people call him out on it.
What the fuck is YOUR problem? It's his series, he's entitled to take as long as he needs to to give us his perfect story. Muses and creativity don't work on a schedule. Shut the fuck up with your whinging and distract yourselves with the million other decent book series out there
>where all the main characters are now united in the end
yeah, that first episode sure showed a unified group of people
It's still not the end though
Also wasn't AFFC basically written just to get characters in certain positions so they'd be able to meet up? George cares about this stuff and is trying to make it good. Unlike D&D who rushed absolutely everything to the point that every single reunion feels as shallow and lame as their writing abilities
Quick refresher - the book was almost finished at the start of 2016, as Martin said at few Cons, but then, and I shit you not, 2016 elections happened and Martin had by far worse meltdown than King and Rowling combined, of all of the fucking 'artsy' faggots Martin was the worst.
You can still try to look for his blog update from that time but that wasn't a post made by a mentally healthy individual, by any stretch of imagination. It crossed my mind for first time then that he either won't finish it or he went back to massive rewrites about 'muh drumpf' theme.
Reminder that when the Sad Puppies Hugo Awards fiasco happened, Martin came out FULL on on the side of the nepotist scumbags.
>Also, the time gap portion he removed greatly fucked the story over. He was going to have a 5-6 gap where characters got older, wiser, and gaining new skills.
This is obvious if you watch the show up until the end of season 4. Ayra was going to have assassin training with the faceless men, Sansa was going to learn how to handle court intrigue and manipulate behind the scenes, Jon would move up the ranks and eventually become Nightwatch commander, etc.
He's trying to be Fermat Mark 2: Electric Boogaloo, but Fermat was a genius mathematician, and he's just a fat fuck. I think he genuinely intends to die before he finishes GoT, in the hopes that everyone will look back on him as a genius who tragically died before he could finish his work, and all the fanboys on the internet will be writing fan-fic endings until the end of time. What a fat fuck. Someone post the video of him playing with soap bubbles in his back yard.
Really? There was supposed to be a time skip after that?
I suppose it makes sense. Jon becoming commander so soon, and Arya becoming a skilled assassin so soon, both of it felt a bit rushed. Then again I assumed this was mainly cause of D&D, since Arya is still training in the books
Obviously he plans to surprise us all by releasing the last two books simultaneously!
Well, he did work on the first 2 books simultaneously if I recall correctly. It's possible he's working on Dream of Spring as well.
Yep, the original plan was altered and all the training/promotion got really condensed.
Sansa probably got the worst of changes though. Ayra and Jon are at least believable as they come into their own. Sansa literally changes from naive girl to master manipulator at the Errie. (and then becomes really bitter after her wedding night rape)
I'm just gonna ignore that bit, probably forever. Her rape, I mean. George never wanted any of that
>and then becomes really bitter after her wedding night rape
I'm actually quite amazed we haven't seen SJW's exploded over this. You're right, Sansa turned into a massively bitter cunt after the rape.
Reminder that mankind have managed to get a photo of a black hole before this guy finishes the books
They gave D&D a ton of shit after it happened for awhile.
The problem is that things really cooled off with the yearly show downtime and most people don't realize just how bitter and almost man hating Sansa has become.
>Sansa turned into a massively bitter cunt after the rape
That part is entirely believable though. The vapid cunt turning into mAstER scHEmer aND RuLEr is a lot harder to buy.
What are you talking about? Sansa is the smartest person I ever met.
>Rape
I saw a married man enjoying his wedding night. Get your ass backward western values out of this thread.
>wedding night rape
She literally chose to get married. What the fuck did she think was going to happen? And she didn't even protest when Ramsey told her to strip, and she has the nerve to act like she's tough for "surviving" his average cock.
Reddit cope.
Subtle trolling 9/10
Way too obvious 2/10
Not trolling I mean it
Good hope he dies and takes this shit series with him the books are beyond trash and the writing in this show has been shit much longer than it's been good.
