Re: It's not just that. He split A Feast for Crows into two. *NM* DREWRULESWOT! Send a noteboard - 18/09/2009 04:04:06 AM
We got half of a book when he published A Feast for Crows. He gutted half of the plotlines and saved the rest for a second book that is now taking the name of what was supposed to be the last book in the series. The book that was originally going to be A Dance With Dragons is now one or more books with no title as of yet.
Haha ya, that was in his little author's note. I think I saw the titles of the next two after DoD being about winter and spring. Something like winds of winter and dream of spring.
A Feast for Crows was a disappointing book because some of peoples' favorite characters just weren't in it. In fact, it's safe to say that the LEAST popular characters were all bunched into A Feast for Crows, while the most popular are all, so he says, in A Dance With Dragons. Now granted, he's taken this long with a book that was supposedly structurally done back when A Feast for Crows came out.
Seriously. It's way worse than anything RJ did. He never promised deadlines and went three years overdue....
Here's to keeping the spirit of Wotmania alive...cheers to RAFO

Ok, Martin is published by Bantam...replace "Tor" with "Bantam" Tom - 18/09/2009 05:43:51 PM 529 Views
Nope, still doesn't work. Werthead - 18/09/2009 08:49:09 PM 500 Views
I would recommend you re-read my post - you're confusing me with someone else Tom - 18/09/2009 10:24:24 PM 457 Views

Is this the thread in which you'll FINALLY reveal... Joker - 20/09/2009 12:31:49 AM 414 Views
Remember what The Neil said: "GRRM is not your bitch!" *NM* Artsapat - 18/09/2009 07:32:47 AM 404 Views
I don't give a shit what Neil Gaiman thinks Tom - 18/09/2009 05:35:54 PM 410 Views
Gaiman = The Most Overrated Author of the New Milennium. *NM* Joker - 20/09/2009 12:33:10 AM 380 Views
In your opinion, of course. *NM* IndigoAjah - 20/09/2009 01:28:33 AM 374 Views
Yes, and this entire thread deals with opinions. Tom - 20/09/2009 01:52:21 AM 363 Views
I see the reason in that. IndigoAjah - 20/09/2009 02:13:46 AM 558 Views
I haven't even finished reading A Clash of Kings and I'm a touch annoyed by Martin already Brian - 20/09/2009 02:35:32 AM 481 Views
He might be a good comic book author, I don't know Tom - 20/09/2009 03:05:15 AM 431 Views
I see where there might be a misunderstanding. Werthead - 20/09/2009 03:05:24 AM 483 Views
You're the man, Wert. Joker - 20/09/2009 03:29:41 AM 461 Views
I can see my rule of not reading series that have not been finished is paying off. Camilla - 18/09/2009 11:00:37 AM 396 Views
Still ruling WOT, I see. How's that going? *NM* Craig - 18/09/2009 03:26:15 AM 353 Views
Very well, thanks DREWRULESWOT! - 18/09/2009 04:05:16 AM 429 Views
One thing I got to say about Robert Jordan... Crackbrained Asha'man - 18/09/2009 03:40:20 AM 536 Views
Sometimes ... Nate - 18/09/2009 05:07:18 AM 460 Views
I agree! heartbreak - 18/09/2009 01:39:04 PM 447 Views
Sometimes...Neil Gaiman should be thrown into a meat grinder. Tom - 18/09/2009 05:49:56 PM 492 Views
You paid for a product. You got a product. That is the end of the matter in its entirety. Werthead - 18/09/2009 09:03:05 PM 457 Views
Was this well out of line, by any chance? Tom - 18/09/2009 10:25:57 PM 489 Views
damn you are rude *NM* imlad - 18/09/2009 10:51:19 PM 366 Views
Gosh. This is pretty tiring. Tom - 18/09/2009 11:25:51 PM 504 Views
So this guy still hasn't been banned yet, why exactly? Werthead - 19/09/2009 04:13:05 PM 464 Views
For several reasons. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/09/2009 10:15:38 PM 348 Views
Get off your high horse. Someone disagrees with you. Deal with it. *NM* Joker - 20/09/2009 12:35:24 AM 349 Views
No, this guy is breaching the forum rules on attacks and insults. Werthead - 20/09/2009 02:57:20 AM 398 Views
What would you call a good start? Chas - 20/09/2009 03:25:46 AM 384 Views
Oh please. Grow some thicker skin. Joker - 20/09/2009 03:26:33 AM 392 Views
You think this behaviour would have been tolerated on Wotmania? It definitely would not have been. Werthead - 20/09/2009 03:31:20 AM 424 Views
That is factually incorrect. *NM* Chas - 20/09/2009 03:38:06 AM 354 Views
"It" would have been. "It" was. Ghavrel - 20/09/2009 05:45:14 AM 430 Views
Depends on which section of wotmania you're thinking about Larry - 20/09/2009 06:54:00 AM 427 Views
Precisely. *NM* Craig - 20/09/2009 07:30:12 AM 347 Views
I half agree... fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 04:35:22 AM 411 Views
What's with the ad hominems, Tom? Larry - 20/09/2009 06:57:33 AM 389 Views
Nope, I'm someone simply a hell of a lot better informed about the situation then you. Deal with it. *NM* Werthead - 19/09/2009 02:40:07 AM 381 Views
"Than", not "then". Learn English while you're at it. *NM* Tom - 20/09/2009 01:47:56 AM 375 Views
Irony overdose. Again. Tashmere - 19/09/2009 06:28:49 AM 397 Views
WTF? Tom - 20/09/2009 01:49:23 AM 443 Views
fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 03:00:53 AM 427 Views
I'd agree with you except for the fact that there was the 'promise'. *NM* Chas - 19/09/2009 05:59:21 PM 325 Views
that would be very counter productive imlad - 18/09/2009 10:50:01 PM 382 Views
Depends on what you want. Tom - 18/09/2009 11:26:54 PM 379 Views
Gaiman would just turn the episode into an amazing graphic novel as he died. *NM* IndigoAjah - 19/09/2009 01:06:30 PM 385 Views
That's the most valid point of the argument. Chas - 18/09/2009 11:54:26 PM 431 Views
Agreed. Werthead - 19/09/2009 03:02:48 AM 416 Views
Now to me that supports Tom's point about 'reliance theory'. Chas - 19/09/2009 05:55:28 PM 433 Views
But a promise was never made. Werthead - 19/09/2009 06:04:55 PM 420 Views
I think we're hung up on the definition of "promise." Craig - 19/09/2009 07:14:30 PM 391 Views
Who is GGK and where is his article? + my opinion on Martin Asharak - 19/09/2009 07:55:01 PM 445 Views
This is where the great divide comes into play Werthead - 19/09/2009 08:10:09 PM 422 Views
I think he should take a page out of RJ's book fionwe1987 - 19/09/2009 08:36:55 PM 454 Views
Excellent point. Werthead - 19/09/2009 10:09:36 PM 423 Views
Re: Excellent point. fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 12:21:21 AM 429 Views
That would be the best policy. *NM* Chas - 19/09/2009 11:23:48 PM 330 Views

Exceptions prove the rule... Craig - 19/09/2009 08:42:39 PM 391 Views
Re: Exceptions prove the rule... Werthead - 19/09/2009 10:00:35 PM 386 Views
I think we're winding down here. Craig - 20/09/2009 07:41:15 AM 374 Views
Yeah. Chas - 19/09/2009 11:27:04 PM 437 Views
Don't mind me, I just can't post in the right place. *NM* Craig - 19/09/2009 07:13:25 PM 386 Views
