[game of thrones] no spoilers. I don't go here but this made me lawl

Accurate

BAHAHAHA!

IT'S TRUE

lmao

I get where they're coming from though. Like it's been something like 8 or 9 years since the last book? And he's started another series since then. And his health is crap, but he made it a provision of his will that any and all notes are to be burned and no one else can finish his books.

he's started another series?

Yep.

huh

But like. I get that he doesn't "owe" anybody anything. If there's no more books there's no more books. Period. Boohoo, it just didn't happen, enjoy what you have. But at the same time being a professional writer, that's pretty unprofessional to just leave it like that and not even apologize to your fanbase.

or string them along

or say "well I put everything into the tv series now" and then later be like "Argh but they changed everything in the tv series so that's not the real plot"

like.

XD;

Anyway I'm stepping off I have a lot of negative feels for GRRMartin

XD I mean it's cool if you want to vent even in a PP

I'm always curious about this kind of thing

oh you know what, I just verified. He has not started another series since then. Just written a bunch of novellas and GoT reference books. My bad.

oh

But still. The last book was 2011.

So you know. There's the pain of "the anime got ahead of the manga"

And then there's... this.

hahaha

it's basically a CLAMP anime now. "the manga went on hiatus but we'll be damned if we cancel the anime now"

There was a great twitter essay about GRRM writing style and how it has many strengths but creates stories that kind of spin out his control

so... GOT... is the Bleach of books?

I gave up on Bleach around the time the cute little girl turned into a sexy half naked lady, has its author also lost control of all the plot threads?

A Grinning DM : Not one bit, and in fact it's a lot more coherent than you'd think before you get to the end.
