OhYeah posted:So what are these ridiculous rumours that the last two books will be realeased at the same time in March 2017? Totally the truth! Yep, GRRM has been fooling us all these years and both books will be out in March! Print the shirts! The books are never coming out.

grrm posted:If I could deliver WINDS OF WINTER by the end of the year, they told me, they could still get it our before the end of March. This was last December he's talking about. He is still not even remotely close to being done almost a year later.

kaworu posted:But my little conspiracy theory is that this season was delayed for a Winds of Winter release in June. There is now way HBO gives a poo poo about the books that their flagship series is based on. They would never delay the release of their biggest moneymaker just so GRRM can finish a book that may or may not actually exist.

I sometimes work from home and instead of doing any actual work I read sports news and watch Youtube videos. In a way I can relate to gurm. Procrastination is the easiest and most satisfying trap to fall into.

Remember when GRRM would post a recap on his stupid blog every year about what he did the year before? I always enjoyed reading those to see what his newest excuse was for not writing. He hasn't even written one of those posts for 2 years. What a jerk!

Liquid Communism posted:Yeah. HBO has given him the literal definition of gently caress Off Money. I used to feel that way too but now I'm kind of enjoying the frustration you find on the internet with regards to his lack of writing. It amazes me that there are still people after almost 7 years of barely any updates that still believe the book is right around the corner.

But you see, the true ending won't be in the show since grrm has said he's going to write a different ending someday. Or he'll die on the toilet. Probably the latter.

The Raid is one of the all time great action movies. The Raid 2 is still better somehow. I enjoy the relative simplicity of the first one but part 2 just turns everything up to 11 in the most satisfying way. Now make a loving third movie you jerks!

Invalid Validation posted:I don’t think anyone is mad at this point. I, for one, am furious! 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.

Cardiac posted:This actually made this day suck a little less. They've been releasing GoT themed whiskey for a while now. Some of those whiskeys are decent but they charge way more for them just because it has GoT crap on it. So yes, GRRM is Scrooge McDuckin' in his mansion in Santa Fe or wherever.

He seems happy because he knows that in a couple of weeks he won't have to care about this dumb series ever again. The show ending will liberate us all.

Absolute Fucker" post posted:As for finishing my book… I fear that New Zealand would distract me entirely too much. Best leave me here in Westeros for the nonce. But I tell you this — if I don’t have THE WINDS OF WINTER in hand when I arrive in New Zealand for worldcon, you have here my formal written permission to imprison me in a small cabin on White Island, overlooking that lake of sulfuric acid, until I’m done. Just so long as the acrid fumes do not screw up my old DOS word processor, I’ll be fine. New book coming next year folks. That con is July 29th fyi. The book won't be out by then

I had a dream last night that WoW was released. At least the first part was. The fat man decided to split the book in two parts and the second part was scheduled for 2030.

indiscriminately posted:No, it's tedious. It discourages actually interesting discussion. No one who reads this thread is unaware that the series is delayed, delayed, delayed. Seeing the shitposts causes me to sit back and reflect, what am I doing with my life that I choose to spend a moment of thought processing the sentence "Gurm has been working on Winds of Winter hard lately by farting nonstop for months." What a drat waste! Hall of Fame post right here. Grrm still has another book to write in this series.

Good news everyone. The book that's never coming out is going to be real bigAbsolute fucker posted:THE WINDS OF WINTER is going to be a big book. The way it is going, it could be bigger than A STORM OF SWORDS or A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, the longest books in the series to date. I do usually cut and trim once I finish, but I need to finish first.

Friendly reminder that GRRM thought he was 4 months away from finishing the book in August of 2015:GRRM posted:Early August saw me back east for my nephew's wedding and an appearance with the Staten Island Direwolves. I took advantage of the visit to have another sit down with my editors and publishers and told them that I didn't think I could deliver by Halloween. I thought they'd be sick about it... but I have to say, my editors and publishers are great, and they took it with surprising equanimity. (Maybe they knew it before I did). They already had contigencies in place. They had made plans to speed up production. If I could deliver WINDS OF WINTER by the end of the year, they told me, they could still get it our before the end of March. It's been 94 months since this point. There is missing deadlines and then there's whatever this is.
