RoboChrist 9000 posted:No, but this sounds magical. Got a link? I think it's been lost to the internet. The only remnant I've found is the long-dead Finish The Book, George! LiveJournal, which hasn't updated since 2012 and was originally about two guys bitching about Dance not being finished yet under the guise of Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci. It's probably not what you're looking for because people griping about GRRM is like 10 years past played out. I can't remember if the read-along I'm talking about was done by them elsewhere or people related to them. Sorry.

Marijuana posted:Does this thread accurately represent how the fandom is turning against GRRM or do the dorks at westeros.org still worship him? Here's some anecdotal evidence for you: my gf and a group of her friends are admins of the biggest french ASOIAF fansite so they're pretty invested in the series. When I met her and her friends 3 years ago they were full on "GRRM is not your bitch" apologists. Fast forward to today: they now openly bitch about how bad and nonsensical the show has become and if you press them they admit that fat pink mast will likely never finish his series. We hatewatch the episodes together as they come out. GRRM has become a punchline and all is well.

some guy on the bus posted:Each jostle and mis-step Hodor made as he stumbled up the broken cragside deeper into the evergreen-awned gloom of the northern mountains chafed at the lacrimose sores that had blossomed verdantly on Bran's rear end a turn past and now steadily leaked runnels of pus that formed a vericose delta down Hodor's neck and dried in the matted hairs of his back to form from around his shoulders a reeking mat of contagion and miasma that fouled the air all around him. I forgot just how horrible and amazing this was.

A blog is still writing on some level, tho. And he did some side dialogues for Torment 2. Like a year or more ago... But he's pretty much goontrash. Also, started reading early 2007, started in the threads 2009 or so? God drat.

Introducing people to all the dumb poo poo about the books and show and Gurm-related materials has been a rare source of joy these years.

But they did that whole GRRMlins guide for the rear end kissing blog poster. "curate" all that poo poo into a book, and ship a new version every holiday season when people are desperate to buy their nephew / niece / brother / etc someone, and all they know is that "They are really into Game of Thrones". Do a whole timeline.

But seriously though, the quality of his remaining life would be so much better if he just came out and said "yeah I'm not writing those books any more". People would give him poo poo for a while but then everyone would forget about him and his books. Now he keeps getting asked daily about a project he has no desire to finish.

GRRM made bank writing less than half a story and then got a team of hundreds of other people to finish it for him on HBO’s dime. Dude won at life.

Should just have someone ghostwrite it for him. Give them the main points and gently caress off. Nobody cares and he wouldn’t have to Robert Jordan it.

Yeah, that would be great except he doesn't have any main points and doesn't know how it's going to end anymore because he's mad at the TV show or something.

I never really liked GRRM's prose, but the Houses had an interesting dynamic, and I was legit curious to see which paths characters like Tyrion, Arya and Daenerys would take. I wonder how much of the reason for it blowing up as it did was people being loving thristy for more fantasy after the Lord of the Ring movies got big, especially a more risqué version

The messing-up of Ramsay Bolton's wedding is a travesty, a travesty, I tell you, and the people who decided to pass on the TV show having Fat Lord Manderley dancing and singing the song about the Rat Cook while serving Frey pies to the assembled Freys and Boltons is cursed in the eyes of gods and men.
