SUCK A DICK, DUMBSHITS!

The trick is to know that medical debt has different collections rules and doesn't hurt your credit as bad. I have like $4k and i don't think anyone is even trying to collect it, whereas I'm current on my student loans and those motherfuckers still call me every day.

I couldn't fall asleep last night and I was trying to think of characters that died of natural causes. I could only come up with two. Hoster Tully had cancer and Maester Aemon was old as gently caress and had pneumonia.

Well son, a funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done

Joanna Lannister died in childbirth, which is kind of natural, I guess.

I don't remember him, but the wiki at westeros.org says he slowly wasted away. I'd call that a a yes. Unless it comes out Illyrio or someone else poisoned him.

I mostly just want it for curiosity's sake to see how he would do things differently in his fanfic. It sounds like he will be passive aggressive about the show killing off characters going by his interviews. There was one where he was smugly claiming that he come up with some great twist that the show can't do because the characters are dead. That could be hilarious.

Even if every bit of it is completely lovely, I still want to see the new "Fat Pink Mast" and "Her oval office became the world" quotes. Any truefan has to want those. Hell yeah, I want it.

Actually he was given that cancer from Euron Crow's Eye, psychically, through the moon. It's like you didn't even pay attention.

pretty sure most of us would do the same thing, given the chance. I am confident it will come out, actually. I'll bet he holds onto it past the last moment, so it will come out just after the final season airs. If he didn't suck, he would have it out this November for holiday shoppers. If I were his publisher, I would rubber hose his rear end until he gives permission to print whatever the gently caress is done at that point.

It hit me yesterday that book-Jon is still dead and book Stannis is still alive. (I'm not doing the whole list, it's more effort than GRRM deigns providing to his own series at this point).

Regarding the next book I will read it if it comes out some day but I have decided to not give a single penny for it. :filez:

A dance with dragons was ok. Grrm should publish the rest of the books in some sort of periodical, at least he'll get to writing.

Like, a chapter in each Tits&Dragons Quarterly is still more than we get now

ADWD + AFFC are 3/4 of the longest and most poorly edited fantasy novel ever written. There are some great moments in there but it's a flawed and unfinished work.

ADWD alone is like 150% as long as the entire LOTR trilogy, AFFC is about as long and both are in fact two parts of the same novel which misses at least 150 pages from the end to be called finished, that's roughly 2800 pages. There are probably some longer fantasy novels out there but not many.

And as for poorly edited, It's subjective but the very fact that this single novel had to be released in two parts just because no one could reign in on the gurm or the fact that he uses the phrase 'words are wind' roughly 60 times in the same novel kinda speaks for itself.

If not taken literally, that's a very apt description of AFFC and ADWD.

Each are 37.5% of a book and it took him more than a decade to deliver them. And they're both bad.

I mean, as they are, they're bad. Could the 250 or so pages that might have made them a complete book pull them out of that death spiral, maybe? Who knows. We never will.
