Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow Send a noteboard - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM
Let's just hope HBO demanded a plotline of what happens to the end.

I know that this happens with a lot of authors. My wife was asked to translate a short summary of a proposed TV series based on a series of books by a popular Russian author. Books 1-6 have now been released but I read the synopsis of all 10. I know what's going to happen even though the books aren't final.


Of course, for the general public to see the story through to the end, the series would have to do well and get picked up for additional seasons.

I'll take any resolution to ASoIaF that I can get at this point!

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 1906 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 940 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1033 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 924 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 402 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 438 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 856 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1024 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 499 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 986 Views
I said I'm "growing" to hate him. I'm not ready to pay for his death yet. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:37:53 AM 877 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 827 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1065 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 857 Views

If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 938 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 804 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 435 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 907 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 911 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 915 Views
I stopped caring so long ago I don't even remember much of what it's about. *NM* Macharius - 22/09/2010 04:21:52 PM 404 Views
Wolves and incest and a big wall of ice with barrow-wights on the other side. *NM* Tom - 23/09/2010 03:36:19 AM 401 Views
You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? Larry - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM 965 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 939 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 979 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 855 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 793 Views
Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost Tashmere - 24/09/2010 12:58:10 AM 793 Views

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon? Aeryn - 25/09/2010 03:36:45 PM 888 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 794 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 893 Views

Truly, there's really no reason that you can't be both angry at him and planning to buy the book. Kotagg - 25/09/2010 12:46:03 AM 846 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 407 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 890 Views
