Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? He has some stuff written for the book after DWD, but yea I could totally see him dying and some other author finishing the series based on his notes.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? i really think the meerense knot added a year or two to this shit i think he can bang the last two books out by late '13 if he really wants to.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? Yeah, I'm hoping it really was that knot bullshit and not him just being lazy. With HBO coming out with a series which will probably hype these books to all new levels maybe he'll get these others done faster. Hell, look what happened with True Blood and that shit sucks compared to this.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? One thing to think about is that now that HBO is shooting his books he has to stay ahead of them in terms of getting the last two out. Each season is supposed to cover one book, so if they do a season per year then that means AGOT: 2011 ACOK: 2012 ASOS: 2013 AFFC: 2014 ADWD: 2015 TWOW: 2016 ADOS: 2017 You figure HBO will need at least a year to write all the scripts for a season so that means he has to have the whole series finished by 2016. So we just need this fat shit to hold on for a maximum of 6 years and then it's all good.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? My level of scepticism is so high, that I didn't feel the slightest tinge of excitement about an announcement about the announcement date of the publication of the book I've been waiting 5 years for.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? I don't know where you came up with this but Martin himself was talking about the filming of season 1 and how it covers stuff from more than just the first book.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? Where did he say this? Everything I have seen has said the first season will cover the first book. Of course I haven't been really keeping up with it since the HBO series was announced.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? just started game of thrones 2 days and about 200 pages in. its pretty addicting.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? The rumor is he has 5 chapters left to write. I wouldn't be surprised if the release of Dances with Dragons is near the time the HBO show comes on March 2011 I think.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? So do we want to finish this damn series? I'm thinking an ending with Cersi lezzing out with someone else.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? Spoiler Yeah, it happened. I just vaguely remember but it was something to do with her wanting a spy in the Knight of Flowers dude's sister's court or something like that. I just remember her having dark hair
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? I was literally pissed off and depressed when the Spoiler Knight of Flowers got badly injured, such a badass
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? Its quite sad that AWHOT will most likely be finished before this and that dude's been dead for how many years now?
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? I started reading a few months ago. I'm almost done with the second book. As suggested I'm definitely taking my time. So far like it so much better than the Wheel of Time.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? p sure there is a part in feast where Spoiler cersei wakes up taena in the middle of the night, starts kissing her, finger fucks her brains out and then tells her to get out
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? If you want really good summaries of the books check out www.towerofthehand.com they have chapter by chapter summaries with footnotes. Its an awesome site for ASOIAF and George R R Martin info.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? I know the character Hot Pie is going to be in the HBO A Game of Thrones even though he doesn't show up until A Clash of Kings.
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? Some pictures from the series i thought were pretty cool. I was going to be pissed if they didn't do the books justice with the show. I'm glad HBO is doing this and the pics look great. I'm also happy with the cast with the actors i recognize. The Lannister's are going to be good tv http://www.makinggameofthrones.com/production-diary/2010/11/26/high-resolution-ew-photos.html
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? some videos. The Mountain looks legit http://www.makinggameofthrones.com/production-diary/tag/video
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? Every Lannister is a beast. Their and :dre: shits on the other families. Hell the best Stark is a stud bc he's Targaryen
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? As the series has gone along, I have become more and more fascinated with Jaime (no homo)
Re: Song of Fire and Ice ?? Agreed. Jaime is the greatest character still living, though when Lord Snow finds out who his true parents are, marries Daenerys and rides one of her dragons to destroy the wights he will be on a Rand al Thor level. Unless dragon riders = Daenerys, Jon Snow and ... Jaime Lannister? Or maybe Arrya Starke? I'm pretty sure of the first two riders but not sure who the third will be. Found this on the wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire Despite initial hopes of A Dance with Dragons being published quickly after A Feast for Crows, the writing and revision process for this fifth novel proved more difficult than anticipated. On January 1, 2008, Martin published an update on his website saying he hoped to have the book published in the autumn of 2008, but that it was only a hope.[25] As of October 2010, the author has published no further updates on his website. Martin has in the past announced finishing dates for earlier works on his blog, and in the last several years also announced the genesis of other projects, which has caused some fans to wonder if he has lost interest in writing A Song of Ice and Fire. Martin has said that this is not the case.[citation needed] He insists that he will not be bullied and continues to work at his own pace, on this and several other projects, to make sure they come out as good as he can possibly make them.[not in citation given][26] Since then he has made several comments on progress in his LiveJournal [27] [28] On Oct 11, 2010 it was confirmed by GRRM’s editor Anne Groell that Martin has finished all but five chapters for A Dance with Dragons, and that the five chapters remaining already exist in partial form. She also teased the hope of the publisher that the manuscript will be finished by Christmas 2010.[29]
