It’s over. He’s getting old.
>>25454147You guys realize he's probably got all the shit written down he's just waiting to die so he ain't gotta hear about us whining
>>25454149maybe he has dementia like that pope who quit
>>25454147Loss control of bowel movement I presume.
If he looked after his body instead of being fat and weak I'm sure he'd be in a much better position.
>>25454158THE MORE
>>25454147I hope he dies in agony. What a shit writer,>>25454158kek
>>25454147He says being old sucks every couple of months, it's rather annoying. I know personal experience and all that, but he's acting like he's the only old person in the world.
>>25454147Like most old authors, when they say they're "getting too old" what they mean is "The world is getting worse and It's all the youth's fault"And they're right, You could see it in Isaac Asimov's last Foundation series books, how the character in that book lamenteed on how the streets were filthy with litter and the youth didn't respect their elders.
>>25454843i think he means he has dementia and can't write anymore
>>25454555The more he aged the more he shat
>>25454859wait that was from martin? i thought it was from some pynchon i hadn't read like v or something
>>25454149Hahaha I'd like to imagine there's people who actually believe something like this.
>>25454147On one hand I can't blame him enjoying himself after getting ''Fuck you'' money from the show. But on the other hand this makes him a whiny baby. Like shut the fuck up you privileged old fuck.
>>25454843>the youth didn't respect their elders.Why should they?
>>25455358common decency
>getting
>>25454149copius maximus
>>25455352It's the boomer mentality. The ride is coming to an end and they complain about it like whiny babies. He should be happy he got to subvert and destroy european medieval fiction and get rich for it, but the jewish and boomer need to complain is too powerful.
>>25454147guess our guy will have to finish GOT for him
>>25454158Maybe. But old people have many ailments that make them depressed. As Schopenhauer said, when you're old it's bad today and will be worse tomorrow.
>>2545414728 year olds are old, unc's a fossil
>He should be happy he got to subvert and destroy european medieval fiction and get rich for itkek, but hes the whiny baby, not you kek
Hey George, ever heard of ghost writers you fat fuck.
>>25454149>got all shit written down*It's just hundreds of pages of describing every major character shitting themselves to desth
>>25455362So is preserving your demographics
>>25454149I believe Winds is at least 3/4 finished; the rest is probably notes. We're going to get the mother of all epilogues next decade.
>>25457921>get
>>25454147Give that nigga a personal trainer, personal chef, a gym, and a personal pharmacologist we'll turn him into a badass in a year. Then we'll get those books.
>>25455513Instead of passages about characters getting the shits, we will instead have passages like this
>>25454147>gettingThe nigger was born when Harry Truman was President he's been old for at least a decade and a half now
>>25454149Actually he said he wants all of his notes to be burned if he dies before finishing
>>25458055the fuck is this shit
>>25456354write about what you know
>>25458050He doesn't have it in him anymore. It is finished. The only thing that could work is pulling a misery on him. Like in the Misery book from Stephen King. That would have worked, maybe, like 5-10 years ago, but today i'm not even sure he would survive.
i just realised that it took 12 years for steven erikson to write the whole of malazan book of the fallen, probably the most sprawling and complex thing in fantasy history, meanwhile winds of winter has been like 15 years in the oven now. lmao
I honestly don't get the hype. I completely lost interest and dropped the series halfway through dance. At this point it will be just better to have different fanfics you get to subscribe to and argue about with other fans till the end of time
Let's get GRRM and Rothfuss to switch projects. Rothfuss is still young enough to finish ASOIAF and GRRM could write Kote's jaded old man vibes better.
>>25454147>unmarried>no children therefore no grandchildrenHe's getting old and has nothing to show for it except massive piles of cash, which won't bring him any meaningful joy now that Death is peering through the door
>>25458948canada mogs yet again kek
>>25458948Is that series worth reading?
>>25454147it's not about writing, it's about your body finding more and more new ways to get hurt
>>25459203if you're interested in epic fantasy than yes. it's the most audacious thing to come out of the whole genre. definitely a big commitment due to how long and wide in scope it is but the emotional payoff is worth it
>>25459203It's r/Fantasy's most beloved series :)
>>25459005kek you should post this in the two sentence horror thread
>>25459336thanks for the warning, I'll steer clear
>>25454147How has this obese lump not been cancelled given that his books contain graphic underage sex that borders on erotica? People fret about looking weird for reading Lolita but that book does not fetishise teen girls like his do with daenerys
>>25459650>How has this obese lump not been cancelled given that his books contain graphic underage sex that borders on erotica?He's jewish.
>>25459650Cause women like it.
>>25459294>>25459336Idk if I've ever read "epic fantasy" unless LOTR counts. desu I read more scifi, and the only fantasy I've really read is , Eragon, LOTR, and Book of the New Sun.
>>25459654Is that such a guarantee anymore? Plenty of Jews get a bit cancelled, they just have to double down on their Jewishness and align with Israel and they’re fine in life but they’re still cancelled in the mainstream >>25459658This I believe, a lot of women are autopedophilic
>>25458948>the whole of malazan book of the fallen, probably the most sprawling and complex thing in fantasy historyThis looks fucking insane.It doesn't seem to be finished though.
>>25454147Let me tell you a story of diabetes.
>>25459731brilliance or madness is often hard to understand to the typical person. Often one forms opinions and holds onto them like facts without a bit of proof. In the end... you're entertained or you're not. They can pay me to shit on paper and i'll be nice. kek.
>>25458948erikson wrote most of the malazan 10 inside bars and coffeeshops on a tiny thinkpad too
>>25459731>30+ books in a series>word count to rival reading 100 good booksLmao just fuck off
>>25454147This has little to do with getting old and more to do with being a lazy fatass.
>>25459863harvest all that fat for its stem cells.
Every time I read someone's remarks about GRRM it always devolves into complaining about him and HBO's interpretation of his works and demands for him to hurry up, while in the same breath completely shitting on his existence. It's like watching crack addicts spit out the cum and call their dealer a faggot for making them suck dick for their rock. Really strange behavior.
>>25454863It's one of the last chapters from the last book (book 5). He really ended on a high note.
>>25459654>He's jewish.He didn't know that until his old age. He thought he was Italian.
>>25459936People were a lot more tolerant of him in the past, but it's been 15 years since the last book and the previous one was delayed for years too.Also shitting on the show is not the same as shitting on the books.
>>25458948Malazan is trash tho.
>>25454689He’s the first fantasy writer to define fantasy after Tolkien, who invented it.
>>25454147>boomers becoming corpsesHoly yes
>>25454147He's not even a very good writer. Couldn't care less if he finished. Must feel like a curse knowing your writing is mediocre, yet, millions of redditors, the world over, desperatly need you to waste your final years writing more slop for them.Have you even read this guy? His prose is Sanderson tier. You can tell George is not a high IQ author either.
>almost 70>300+ stories published"Getting old" is no excuse but /lit/ doesn't follow good authors.https://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?199
>>25454149Dumbass take. GRRM loves the attention. His show was widely considered the biggest flop disappointment of all time and what did he do? Start like 4 more. He doesn't care what people say so long as he gets money and attention and fameHe just lacks the juice to keep writing, he's on an endless treadmill of edits and reedits and he cannot get it to fit into only 2 books
>>25458055How could an editor allow this? Absolute nonsense.
>>25460879>Also shitting on the show is not the same as shitting on the books.yeah, GoT TV show is yet another classic case of "Garbage In; Garbage Out" but it's still worse than the books
>>25459294>genre fiction>emotional payoff
>>25461808The majority of books sold these days are based on this, as shallow as the material may be.
>>25454149>You guys realize he's probably got all the shit written down he's just waiting to die so he ain't gotta hear about us whining>get a load of this guyYou cannot possibly be this stupid, the show did his ending and people hated it. Now he has to stick that landing while he's already admitted he mucked up his story by killing off too many important characters for shock value.The truth is that this series was always trash and the author himself is a lazy, stupid, faggot.
>>25454843>youth didn't respect their elders.Considering the state of the world and how the elders currently leading it were responsible for it and have failed to do anything to curtail or improve it while stealing as much as possible I wonder in what world you think they should bother to respect their elders.It aint' this one.
>>25459650Conservatives don't read.
>>25462105I guess I'm saying they don't really have payoff, I'm certainly aware that they're advertised as such.
