Well that's the thing. He can just say on his blog that the guys writing the show did a good respectable job with his notes and he enjoyed watching it very much as well as taking part in their collaborative process (he doesn't have to shit on them, it's way better if he doesn't) -- but that's not the real story. That's the TV version.Why is it in his best interest to not finish? I'd think he needs to finish them as fast as possible while people still give a shit. Otherwise if the show finishes before the books, people are much more likely to just say fuck it and not buy more books when they know the end.
I don't think you understand the impact that death has on a person's financial situation.
The books are better (except for book 4 volume 2).SAID NOBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD EVER!!!
I'm actually reading AFFC again. It's not... awful. But yeah I am not sure I want to read Dance again.Man y'all need to go back and read AFFC/ADWD so you can remember how fucking wrong you are.
I reread 1 - 4 in about 2 weeks. I'm on week 6 of ADWD now, it's shit. AFFC is far superior.I'm actually reading AFFC again. It's not... awful. But yeah I am not sure I want to read Dance again.
are either of them morbidly obese sacks of shit?He is only 66.
The panic over his death seems a tad premature these days. I mean there are cast members who are 80 and 92 respectivly !
I think it's just an issue where you could argue that he doesn't care. Financially, he doesn't need to finish it obviously. And if he's tired of writing the series (which is what I think Iannis is saying), there's no reason to write another word. In that case, it's in his best interest not to finish because then he doesn't fuck it up. That's a very plausible scenario, that GRRM may never write another chapter and let the show finish the story for him.Why is it in his best interest to not finish?

That's saying quite a bit about the books though... when the end of the chess game is reached, do you really care where all of the other pieces lined up beyond the final checkmate is called?I think it's just an issue where you could argue that he doesn't care.

And yeah, I agree, books 4 and 5 were shit. I mean, I was heavily invested in the story by then and so it was interesting to read, but they never should have been split. Cut out the bullshit like the show did and make some fucking progress. Those two books were a lot of moving chess pieces around for the conclusion.
