And it'll be done when its done. Or not, whatever the case may be.
Remember you're dealing with a single person, not a corporation, and that being so, they are solely responsible for the quality of the work. If they don't feel like what they've done is up to their standards, then they can simply take their time until they feel sufficiently inspired.
This is how art works. Stop treating everything like "product".
THE HEDGE KNIGHT will be a lot shorter than GAME OF THRONES or HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, with a much different tone… but it's still Westeros, so no one is truly safe Ira Parker and his team are doing a great job. I hope to visit the shoot come July, when I swing by Belfast on my way to the worldcon in Glasgow. The show will make its debut next year… and if it does well, THE SWORN SWORD and THE MYSTERY KNIGHT will follow. By which time I hope to have finished some more Dunk & Egg stories (yes, after I finish THE WINDS OF WINTER).
He made a fortune, selling books and rights, under the assumption that he would complete his saga.
We have the all the right to be critical of him, for not finishing the books.
No. You do not.
Plans change when life gets in the way. Shit just happens. Like I said, stop treating individuals like corporations or institutions.
Seriously, you cannot think because you like somebody's work it makes them personally beholden to you?
There's no such thing, it's just another word for procrastination.I think it's just a slump and he's waiting to get out of it. Writters have these blocks sometimes and this Elden Ring endeavour might give him that inspiration to finish them in the end.
Plans didn't change because he was a victim of external forces, that harmed his productivity.
He choose to screw around with so many other projects and pause his books.
We paid for his work, and he half delivered it. So, yes we have the right to criticize him.
Had we known he would do this, most of us would not have bought his books. And he would not have made so much money.
You got what you paid for. Why you paid, and what expectations you had are are completely irrelevant to anybody other than you.
Sorry, but you appear to have unrealistic expectations of what the price of a book buys you.
Yup.It's fair to be disappointed in GRRM, but best to move on with your life at this point. Ain't happening.
Director Robert Eggers, art direction Guillermo del Toro. Day one.A Dark Souls//Elden Ring movie would be great but you would need a good director. Like the games, the main character is the environment itself. Allow the set pieces to help tell the story and allow it to fully embrace that dark fantasy splendor.
A near silent protagonist would be ideal. Take a note from George Miller and leave dialog to an absolute bare minimum. Show, don't tell.
I think he would've finished the books by now if there had been no TV series and all the many distractions and fame that came along with it. The other possible issue is a loss of motivation since some of the major secrets and some version of the ending have been revealed by the show. I remember him saying him saying he didn't want to do Robert's Rebellion because everyone already knew how that played out.Or he's too scared to write them after seeing the reception to the last season of Game of Thrones
I have another theory that he did finish them but he sitting on releasing them. He will release them when he dies. That the contract stipulates to his publisher those terms. Since he knows that people are gonna to be unhappy either way, so he doesn't want to be around when that happens
I'm most likely wrong though..
This guy is all over the place, doing too many projects, so no wonder we have yet to see The Winds of Winter.
He is already 75 years old, so any day can be his last day, for all we know.
I wish he would live to be 100, but even that might not be enough for him to finish A song of ice and fire.
I think he really tried to make it happen before the show even started but once the show went on with non-novel stuff, he just let it go. We'll see. Perhaps Brandon Sanderson will finish another Fantasy seriesI wonder if GRRM will ever hint he plans on finishing ASOIAF or is he just gonna be like fuck you all and pull a Robert Jordan
He did a pretty good job. I was satisfied. Except for Mat. He just felt off.I think he really tried to make it happen before the show even started but once the show went on with non-novel stuff, he just let it go. We'll see. Perhaps Brandon Sanderson will finish another Fantasy series![]()
One way to do it is to make the story takes before the shattering and see Marika's story to her godhood.I really don't see how you make these games a movie or TV show. I do like the idea of an anime. But I just don't know how you capture the feeling of the game in another form of media. The games are unique to me in there narrative and presentation. You seem to stumble across everything.
Maybe you could have a movie about a guy using a guide to figure out what to do next.
No. Grrm has mocked his readers and fans for more than a decade about the release of his books. He's a complete dickhead.No. You do not.

Lord of the Rings took 15 years to write. The Silmarillion took the authors entire life and even then it wasnt finished.13 years, Fucking textbooks for PhD level classes are written in less time. ASOIAF is complex, but not 13 years complex. Dude could have written 100 pages a YEAR, and we'd have nearly two books by now. He's out here writing and producing for literally anything else. Fuck him and Rothfuss.
