Fat man invents new excuses

personally I think I'll take that over him complaining about trans people on Twitter all day but that's just me

what a fag

Been saying he's the next Robert Jordan for years, I know someone who mentioned RJ to him at a con and George immediately told him to go fuck himself lmao

Why can't George just

cancel Dream of Spring, it's obviously never happening

give himself a hard deadline

wrap up as much as possible in Winds of Winter before that deadline

release it to the world

live the rest of your life unburdened by this massive weight

this massive weight

He's coasting on residuals and trolling the fantasy community. OH HOW STRESSFUL THAT MUST BE.

He's been at war with Bantam (his publisher) for years about the length of the novel, it's supposed to be nearing 2000 pages

New? He's been saying the same shit since feast came out just insert wildcards or his movie theater or his friends books. He was never going to finish once hollywood got seriously interested.

Has another author of a much loved book series ever waited 14 years between entries?

Has this ever happened in history?

Kino idea

George RR Martin gets kidnapped by a group of deranged fans is forced to finish the entire series in under a year on pain of death

inb4 "you just ripped off the plot of Misery by Stephen King"

So?

Closest I can think of is the guy who won the Pulitzer in like '75 or '76, 20 year gap between novels.

perhaps dragon ball. dragon ball z ended 1995 and super started in 2016

Tf does he need a publisher for

localization

Implying a forklift operator will piss OSHA off in order to get more of Gurm writing about nuncles, fat pink masts, and more stupid fucking filler Essos chapters

Great idea on paper but you need a full warehouse crew to properly transport him, anon. Let alone the cost of keeping such a beast sustained in captivity.

Really worried about the ugandians reading winds is he?

The man is exceptionally content and not going to do anything else ever again that requires effort.

Still,he could just ghostwrite it and make another billion for his grandkids. i mean why not do that?

They all do, they won't be able to get residuals without it.

AFFC and ADWD are giant tomes of filler. It's hilarious how little the plot moves forward in thousands of pages.

Which is less money than he would make selling it himself

Thats because theyre one book

make another billion for his grandkids

He's literally too fat to have children

Self publishing a series like that with extremely popular demand would probably kill someone out of stress and that's also not true because of the promotion and press he'd get to do as well as tours

wait this guy does video with preston jacobs

ASOIAF gave him generational wealth, it's a small sacrifice to focus on finishing that shit or at least releasing cliff notes of it to have all that money. If you want to tribute your friend, go jerk off to old pics of him but fuck off and finish your story, you got no excuse other than being a selfish pig fucker.

Boomer mentality

The only “massive weight” here is George himself

both are pedo tourists.

complaining about trans people on Twitter

qrd?

It's not exactly comparable, but Phillip Pullman took 17 years to publish La Belle Sauvage after finishing The Amber Spyglass.

The Amber Spyglass ends one trilogy and La Belle Sauvage begins another one set in the same universe with the same protagonist, but he still teased that book for fucking ages before it finally came out.

ASOIAF gave him generational wealth,

lmao what "generation"?

>wrap up as much as possible in Winds of Winter before that deadline

>release it to the world

>live the rest of your life unburdened by this massive weight

Based retard. Slapping together an unfinished story to appease hateful "fans" that tell him to die would be a massive horrible burden on him until the moment he dies.

Jk rowling

I know, I know. Some of you will just be pissed off by this, as you are by everything I announce here that is not about Westeros or THE WINDS OF WINTER. You have given up on me, or on the book. I will never finish WINDS, If I do, I will never finish A DREAM OF SPRING. If I do, it won’t be any good. I ought to get some other writer to pinch hit for me… I am going to die soon anyway, because I am so old. I lost all interest in A Song of Ice and Fire decades ago. I don’t give a shit about writing any longer, I just sit around and spend my money. I edit the Wild Cards books too, but you hate Wild Cards. You may hate everything else I have ever written, the Hugo-winners and Hugo-losers, “A Song for Lya” and DYING OF THE LIGHT, “Sandkings” and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, “This Tower of Ashes” and “The Stone City,” OLD MARS and OLD VENUS and ROGUES and WARRIORS and DANGEROUS WOMEN and all the other anthologies I edited with my friend Gardner Dozois, You don’t care about any of those, I know. You don’t care about anything but WINDS OF WINTER. You’ve told me so often enough).

Thing is, I do care about them.

And I care about Westeros and WINDS as well. The Starks and Lannisters and Targaryens, Tyrion and Asha, Dany and Daenerys, the dragons and the direwolves, I care about them all. More than you can ever imagine.

The best part about this they will never stop harassing and annoying him about Winds. He will forever be forced to bring this up in order to get more attention about slop nobody cares about. KWAB

it's also because every POV turned into a deep introspective dornish sausage eating travelogue.

Why are you so selfish Anon Babble?

it's a RedTeamReview video

God he's such a faggot.

Why are you guys watching a video of some asshole commenting about George's blog post that is 8 minutes long for a blog post that takes 2 minutes to read?
He has no heir or legacy. ASOIAF will be laughed at into obscurity because the fatfuck won't finish the book. He will do anything, but write the book.

Robert Jordan died 2 years after the last book he published

Yeah but as one book you dont read five of those in a row so the pacing is much better

He died before even completing the series you dipshit, that hack Sanderson had to wrap it up and ruined it

Reread the two posts dipshit

i would feel more bad for george if he hadnt promised that winds would be done next year since about 2016.

if he just stopped talking about the book everybody would have stopped caring, but he's disappointed people over and over and over and over again and he still can't keep himself from making yet another fake promise, it's just insulting

It's like 2000 pages of that. The first 3 shit books shit on it in terms of pacing, story.... Well basically everything.

My point is that RJ didn't just not write for the last decade of his life, comparing him to GRRM is an insult

Never post this faggot's videos on my board again.

Do we really have to listen to some fag e-celeb diarrhea? Just tell us what he said, we don't need or want this extra "commentary".

As one book its only slightly worse than the others

as opposed to dying tomorrow and have the incomplete version released posthumously. it's happening and everybody knows it.

clicking the shill link

Rookie mistake

I would say not moving the plot at all forward for 2000 pages is very bad lmao. It's basically a shit load of novellas crammed together, every piece on the board is exactly the same as it was in ASOS.

have the incomplete version released posthumously

Then the publisher gets sued to bankrupcy by his wife

Because he can't wrap up Winds, that's the entire point. He introduced too much pointless shit in the last two novels, it's impossible to wrap the series up in two more

I feel like he's deliberately withholding the next book so people can fondly remember ASOIAF as a "what could have been" thing. Something where the author died before he could finish his work (like Berserk), except he's had all the time in the world. God I hope he lives to be 100 but never releases anything so people can see how full of shit he is.

GRRM.jpg - 640x867, 159.04K

been a long while but, Stannis at the wall, wildlings defeated, dead in the water. Euron takes control of the iron islands. Are plot advancements

I mean it's more about not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, if George gave it his best shot and tried as well as he knew he could, then I'd hope he'd be satisfied that at least he produced a final shippable product and I think a ton of fans would also be satisfied with that

It sucks when the author of your favorite series is a fucking lazy, fat, whiny manchild.

He still writes on a 3 decade old pc. Without a publisher who makes a book out of it nobody would ever get to read it.

Not really since we know they don’t actually end up affecting anything. He wrote himself into a big problem in that the story is super wide and not deep and he can’t wrap it up in 2 books

its comfy albeit
jaime in the riverlands is comfy
sansa in the vale is comfy
tyrion on a boat is comfy

yup at this point, the longer he waits to release the more he risks a huge TLJ tier shitfest that retroactively destroys his legacy...

I hate him so much.

I HATE YOU.gif - 640x264, 1.29M

Just do what he did with the martel prince and have dragons kill all unimportant characters

What the fuck was the point of the Quentin Martell storyline anyway? Just seemed like filler.

Stannis already effected the wall plot and euron is definitely staying relevant throughtout winds at least. Also i griff invaded so thats something. God i hope dany gets killed and he takes her plot

Tyrions travels across Essos is super comfy and the only really good thing about it. And cersi being a paranoid retard was pretty fun

It was to introduce the dornish mischief and show dany being an utter fucking retard for the nth time

I dunno didn't ser grandfather task drink and the big guy with bringing one of the sellsword companies over to Dany? But yea seemed like he just added quint to have someone to kill off

I just read his blogpost and he doesn't say anything, he only says he cares about the books

been a long while but, Stannis at the wall, wildlings defeated, dead in the water.

That's the ending of ASOS

Euron takes control of the iron islands.

He's got like what two chapters? That's nothing. He's some edgelord with fanfiction tier writing and we have no idea what's he's supposed to be doing.

The point is all of the major players are still in the same spot as they were in 2000. It's insane lmao.

jaime in the riverlands is comfy

Yes, I LOVE his chapters..... Buuuuut....... He doesn't do shit, he gets angry at cersei, fucks off to the riverlands and that's about it, lifts a siege. That would be like two chapter tops if it was written like ASOS.

sansa in the vale is comfy

I love her chapters too, too bad we've gotten two chapters of them in 20 years.

tyrion on a boat is comfy

fuck no, you could've thrown out half of tyrions chapters and Dany's and it would've been for the best.

mjjhgyj.png - 1461x980, 1.75M

Cersei chapters were grating. Arya chapters still the best. Penny was cringe af. Nimble dick died sadly

That channel has literally 50 fat george videos
AI?

You know what was comfy? Brianne in the riverlands

The point is all of the major players are still in the same spot

Yeah i mean its not an unfair critique but a little does happen and a lot of worldbuilding (maybe not necessary but who wouldnt miss euron and viccy?) and apparently the plan was to include several battles which are slated to be the opening of winds

A lot of people think it's crazy that it's been over 13 years since the last book, but don't forget that the last two were mediocre. So it's been ~24 years since he's come out with a book that's even good.

I remember them as a mixed bag because brienne wouldnt stfu about a girl of 2 and ten auburn hair

respect. he has lived a long life and came into a windfall of shitloads of money and he knows his own mortality is not long and wishes to spend it spending his money on things than planting his face into a typewriter and anguishing about compiling a story. he did say he could have a writer pinch hit for him so shit if he ever has ideas come to his head he can just do a quick storyboard description and have someone else write it up and think about the details. GoT was massive for its period in time and became something so many people watched.

When she fought like 3 guys at once was kino

he seems extremely resentful of the fanbase, like he actively browses reddit threads

Quentin Martell

he's not dead

Jordan would have completed WoT if not for the heart illness that killed him, he had the important plot points and ending planned. Martin is never finishing Asoiaf because he has no idea what to do.

Hammer home that Dany is the villain
Needed someone to free the dragons

what a generic fag

he seems extremely resentful of the fanbase,

The fanbase that spams his blog with "FINISH THE BOOKS, FAT MAN!"

It's more like being badgered with release questions every con he goes to and every interview he does. He seems to have bitten off more than he could chew with these last two novels and feels like they'll be a huge disappointment if they aren't epics on the grandest possible scale
Seems like an undertaking that could kill you quicker than any heart illness ever could

The fanbase has been incredibly patient for DECADES with his slow as fuck bookwriting.

This video is a waste of time. The blog post is two paragraphs and this shit head turns it into 15 minutes of video slop. Fuck outta here asshat. And you too op, just link the fucking blog next time. georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2025/05/28/howard-meets-hercules/

fuck off retard. RJ was on his death bed writing as much as he could so that someone could finish it. He knew he would die before he could

i remember fat fuck using the term 'pulling a jordan' unironically to ridicule people claiming he will not finish it some 20 years ago

This, I'm truly at my limit with the fat bastard, he's just a lazy rich oaf who wants to punish his extremely loyal fanbase.

finishes WoW before George

has unhinged meltdowns over Trump

More entertaining than GRRM

unnamed (3).jpg - 900x900, 85.07K

grrm talks a lot of shit about jordan since jordan isnt around to school that fat faggot

He's resentful because nobody gives a fuck about his other shitty projects.
Did I need to read 6 chapters of boring shit to get to that?
It's funny because the story for the show took a shit as soon as it finished up ASOS and bookfags have the audacity to think if D&D better adapted the two worst books of the series that the show would've been better.

if D&D better adapted the two worst books of the series that the show would've been better

Yes

brienne wandering riverlands

The Dorne plot is still shit in the books

Walmart Vikings

And even if they did all of those things, and introduced a shit load of characters that nobody really gives a fuck about. They'd still have to write the rest of the story for George.

It's funny too, because people thought Season 5 was meandering. It would've been 10x worse if they followed the books.

Guys it is so obvious at this point that he won't finish it. He has no real intentions of finishing it, other than that sort of dementia that old people get about how they're going to "get around" to doing everything.

He's an old man, he obviously has some psychological aversion to even working on it - probably because if it's finished he'll have completed his life's work and he feels like he may as well die, if you still think it's coming out you are dreaming.

brienne wandering riverlands

We got several episodes of Brienne looking at a candle

The Dorne plot is still shit in the books

"Uhhh it's shit!"

Walmart Vikings

Not even an attempt

unable to reconcile the fact people only cared about the Game of Thrones world and none of his other shitty writings

unable to write true Evil Dany ending for fear of leftist/women backlash

keeping the pain at bay by taking as many vacations as possible and inserting himself into every project he sees, in hopes that one would reach GOT's level of success

What a hollow existence. Well-deserved.

GRRM.jpg - 620x413, 44.09K

We got several episodes of Brienne looking at a candle

I'll take it, that was about 10 minutes of screen time. Not 8 chapters of meandering, looking for a character we know isn't there.

"Uhhh it's shit!"

It is, it's long winded retarded queenmaking plot, and virgin frog man dying to dragon. It takes hundreds of pages to come to the conclusion: lol Dorne is incompetent.

Walmart Vikings

The only Ironborn the audience cares about is Theon. The rest is BLOOOAT.

>keeping the pain at bay by taking as many vacations as possible

God I wish that were me

This is such an impotent, whiny screed. I never really paid much mind to GRRM not releasing Winds but this is so pathetic in how he tries to act not mad while showing how much critics get under his skin I feel contempt for him now.

every single blogpost he made HAD to affirm that he was "working on Winds"

LMAO, he knows that no one cares about his other projects. He really needs the attention, doesn't he? It isn't about writing a good story anymore, hasn't been for a while. He just WANTS to be seen as a "genius writer", the American Tolkien. Only now the best he could get is "genius writer who ran out of time", except everyone knows it's bullshit. You've had 14 years, George.

I kinda enjoy his descriptions of the land as characters travel. That whole sequence of going off the trail and thru the forest and someone was following them built a great sense of isolation. But I can understand how ppl think it's boring

People always shit on "Arya starving to death for 8 chapters" in ACoK but those were the comfiest chapters.

This guy fucking sucks. He deserves zero sympathy and every bit of ridicule, he 100% deserves to just be bombarded with questions about Winds at every public appearance, he's been profiting off lying to his fans that he is going to finish someday for who knows how long now. It's just disgraceful.

he's been profiting off lying to his fans that he is going to finish someday

Why do the fans pay him directly to be lied to?

he thinks he's dead

The Dark Quentyn Rises

They can just split it into two volumes. They already did that and it was terrible but it was his fault for not being finished. Assuming he can actually finish a double volume or Winds I&II can be published soon after another. Might even be smart to space it out so the reaction and hype has some time to happen. People will finish Winds in a day and start whining it wasn’t worth the wait/spoiling plot points. You curb some of the insanity by dropping the B volume a couple of months later and people will spend that time speculating on what could be left for the big ending.

With no children he’ll probably have his money donated posthumously, probably to African children or the DNC

generational wealth

His cats will be very happy.

gets to lie around all day while meals are delivered to him

He literally wouldn't notice.

Either it’s a bait and switch or it’s his most literal attempt to subvert the usual hero tale of fantasy. It gives you some indication of what Dorne is doing in all this, a plot that’s been almost absent or sidelined.

multi-house slow-burn murder mystery conspiracy civil war inside Winterfell

Stannis 4D chess war with Ramsay sitting outside

Winterfell also turning into a magical snow storm machine because >tfw no Stark gf in me

Jon dead, tricked by mysterious pink letter writer, needs to be revived

Euron about to raze Old Town to raise a cthulhu dragon god from the sea

other Greyjoy guy wants to steal Daenerys dragons with his special horn (won't work)

sand snake chick also probably about to attack Old Town

Littlefinger still doing his shit with Shansha in the Vale

Aegon (Griff Blackfyre), his dad, and Golden Company invading backed by Varys destabilizing Tommens rule killing his uncle and last competent Lannister

Griff probably will have a war with Daenerys if he marries the Dorne daughter chick that's on her way over

Sparrows in Kingslanding still throwing their weight around

Neds bones still missing

Dorne still trying to be relevant to the plot

zombie Catelyn still running around

Daenerys missing, Barry doing his best trying to make the Essos world b-plot interesting at all (it's not)

(seriously how do you make a siege of a city feel filler)

Samwell still has the horn of winter horn in old town

horn needs to get months of travel time north to either drop the wall or raises the dead in Stark catacombs

Tyrion also probably wants to burn the capital and kill the rest of his family

the Others are like a max a few weeks to a couple months away from attacking the wall

And like 20 other plot points that haven't come back to mind while (re)typing this. No fucking wonder GRRM doesn't want to write the the book, he's wrote several dozen intersecting plotlines that could each go three different ways depending on who you ask and what part of the plot you think will rhyme with some other piece of history he's written since he loves doing that so much.

And Toriyama actually appointed a successor, who the fuck fills in for the fat man when he keels over

what he doesn't admit is that the algorithm pushes and rewards that shit too and he wants to farm engagement and get the bag same as everyone else

Robert Jordan made sure someone finished his series, George is a petulant child who says no one will finish his work

when every character turns into a travelogue, it's turns into a problem.

Why are you guys watching a video of some asshole commenting about George's blog post that is 8 minutes long for a blog post that takes 2 minutes to read?

So they have an excuse to post this shit here instead of Anon Babble where it belongs, because Anon Babble would tell them to fuck off too.

There were 3 weddings in ADWD, i swear this guy cant help himself with adding more and more shit. Its like a fat ass at a buffet.

How does Sanderson write like 2000 pages a year yet this fat pass can't even write 20
