>As a child George R. R. Martin had turtles, the only pets he was allowed to have. The turtles lived in a castle, and Martin pretended they were knights and kings, and made up stories in which they betrayed and killed each other and fought for the kingdoms. Martin has said that Game of Thrones began with his turtles.[6][7] Martin often wears a hat with a turtle pin and has claimed that "turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose.".
People have been pretending this is all some contract related Keikaku since his fans were hoping Winds would come out after the final season of /got/. Just accept he's a lazy frick
>writes huge volumes >tons of details in each >stops >forgets everything >has to reread his own work so he can start the next volume >this is why it takes him so long to write ASOIAF
You homosexuals thinks he has all that shit memorized? FRICKEN KEK
He does? I thought he once said that he's working by himself on some Windows 95 machine and that his publisher hates it because he prints his crap out and sends it that way instead of just sending a word or pdf document.
that's all true, but he also has lore assistants who help him with extreme details because there's no way george can remember everything he's written in his old age
The reason he gave is actually pretty plausible >don't fully plan out events >need to make events coincide >constantly have to revise and rearrange arcs
He wants to do two Red Wedding style event with multiple arcs intersecting the big one in Meereen and a smaller one in Oldtown. The problem is that the threads are all over the place and Martin's refusal to release the book in two parts lets him constantly rewrite his work, meaning it's been stuck at 75% for years..
Here’s an idea. How about we start a loud vocal campaign and tell GRRM it’s okay, we don’t care if he finishes it anymore. Let him know we are satisfied we got what we did, and even with how disappointed everyone was with the finale that we will still manage. The guy gets off on this in a way. His sole bit of relevancy hinging on finishing the books. Just stop giving a shit. Then he won’t know what to do.
What incentive is there for him to finish his books when the show already did it for him? He's been writing the series since the mid 90's. The show completely raised his status and brought him a shit ton of cash and sweet 20 year old poon. He hit the jackpot as an author and is taking the easy way out until inevitably dies a type 2 diabetes related death.
i honestly have figured since around 2016 that the show did in fact have plot points he was intending on using, and the reception to them has been so negative hes basically rewritten the entire story
king bran, daenerys tard rage, jon fricking daenerys, euron being a nothingburger, stannis being a nothingburger, bronn becoming high homosexual of the seven kingdoms etc etc

Someone kill this fatty already.
I would say I hope he dies before he finishes, but finishing would actually leave less of a legacy, because people won't be wondering what could have been. So I hope he finishes and it's as shit as the show because that's how he wanted things. Frick him.
probably but he wrote himself into a corner with the show and now we'll never get an ending because even if winds comes out there is 0 chance this fat frick is going to finish the last book
also robert jordan died so we never got a real ending, but at least he didn't see what happened to his show
I've gone from being mad at him to finding his dog ate my homework excuses really funny, at this point I hope he makes it past 100 and outlives the show's writers all the while insisting Winds is coming next year
>Problem, mortals?
whats with the turtle pins?

>The House of Martin
>"Slow and Steady."
Well for former more than the latter.
everything about this guy is fake and gay, from his name to this story.
maybe he just likes them
He's contractually prohibited from finishing the story, by a non-compete clause w/HBO.
>o doh hohoho I'm such a chubby old fashioned goof. I can't finish my story because um.. uh .. my word processor ran out of ink lololol
People have been pretending this is all some contract related Keikaku since his fans were hoping Winds would come out after the final season of /got/. Just accept he's a lazy frick
Dude has blog posts from 1998 about winds coming out "this autumn".

he actually has assistants who help him out with details
He does? I thought he once said that he's working by himself on some Windows 95 machine and that his publisher hates it because he prints his crap out and sends it that way instead of just sending a word or pdf document.
that's all true, but he also has lore assistants who help him with extreme details because there's no way george can remember everything he's written in his old age
He's said in at least one interview that he has at least one "expert" that he confirms details with.
Linda and Elio helped with the lore books.
The reason he gave is actually pretty plausible

What is it with fat people being so lazy?
What incentive is there for him to finish his books when the show already did it for him? He's been writing the series since the mid 90's.

God's, he was strong.
i honestly have figured since around 2016 that the show did in fact have plot points he was intending on using, and the reception to them has been so negative hes basically rewritten the entire story
like what
king bran, daenerys tard rage, jon fricking daenerys, euron being a nothingburger, stannis being a nothingburger, bronn becoming high homosexual of the seven kingdoms etc etc
how hard is it to change a few names in medieval history and add dragons? just one more lap fat ass. just one more lap.
I bookgayged this series since the 90s. I genuinely quit giving a ratfrick how it ended years ago.

When does the pain end?
>lazy gay fatass can't finish book because he can't stop being a lazy gay fatass
Shocker!
i remember bursting out laughing the first time i heard him talk. he sounds like a dwarf that lives off of cheese
Friendly reminder we already got GRRMs ending with the show and its reception is why he'll never finish Winds, let alone the next one
I made the right choice dropping the series after A Feast for Crows
Is he as close as we'll get to a modern day Tolkien, so far as crafting stories with deep lore/backgrounds.
probably but he wrote himself into a corner with the show and now we'll never get an ending because even if winds comes out there is 0 chance this fat frick is going to finish the last book
also robert jordan died so we never got a real ending, but at least he didn't see what happened to his show
I've gone from being mad at him to finding his dog ate my homework excuses really funny, at this point I hope he makes it past 100 and outlives the show's writers all the while insisting Winds is coming next year
