I hate this fat fuck like you wouldn't believe. I don't even care about the books anymore, my hype died whenever season 5 got released, I just really hate this pretentious porker.
>>217386649I take it, you've not taken the new interview well?
>>217386671Qrd
>>217386671 >In 1975, Martin met Dune author Frank Herbert at a book convention and they shared a drink. The meeting was “near the end of Herbert’s life,” Martin says. Herbert had written many acclaimed novels, but all fans seemed to want was more Dune. Herbert’s publisher had just offered him a modest advance for a story he wanted to write, or six times that number for another Dune novel. >"He didn’t like Dune anymore and he didn’t want to write any more Dune books,” Martin says. “But he felt locked in by the success of Dune, so he kept writing them.” >Martin finishes … and waits. >I ask: Do you relate to how Herbert felt? >“I’m not necessarily tired of the world [of Ice and Fire],” he says. “I love the world and the world-building. But, yes, I do.”>“I was going to kill more people,” he muses. “Not the ones they killed [in the show]. They made it more of a happy ending. I don’t see a happy ending for Tyrion. His whole arc has been tragic from the first. I was going to have Sansa die, but she’s been so appealing in the show, maybe I’ll let her live …” >“I don’t know,” Martin says. “I think I’ll stay home. I have to write more Dunk and Egg. There’s supposed to be another Fire and Blood book, too. I do think if I can just get some of these other things off my back, I could finish The Winds of Winter pretty soon. It’s been made clear to me that Winds is the priority, but … I don’t know. Sometimes I’m not in the mood for that.”
>>217386716>They made it more of a happy ending.he is so tragically out-of-touch
>>217386716Sargon's analysis of GRRM is breddy spot-on, the more I read.
>>217386761QRD, I'm not giving that grifter clicks.
>>217386841GRRM is nothing more than a cynical leftoid boomer shitlib who cannot actually concieve of truly good, honest, heroic men, or that such men are capable of winning. Ergo he would be unable to write a satisfying ending.
>>217386841Sargon didn't say anything new, just reiterated what people on this site have been saying for years - GRRM is a boomer libtard, the target audience of the song "Imagine". He does not believe on objective good or objective evil, nor does he even believe in heroes - heroism, yes, but not heroes. He is most fascinated when he writes about incestuous child murderers and ruthless power players.He is now entering the phase in his books where "good" is supposed to come back and begin winning, but he can't bring himself to do it, because he doesn't believe that it's possible, nor that there is good. Good guys like Ned Stark die in his world.People (me too, in the past) have always contradicted it by saying>Nooo, look at Jon, look at Sansa, they're going to carry on Ned's legacyWell, look at this interview. He was going to kill off Sansa too!
Ts belongs in /lit./JANNNYYYYYYYS
>>217386649>Puts Scottish history in a fantasy settingWe should hold him hostage if he ever visits, not let the fat fuck leave till he pays reparations to us (he's American, he'll love that idea).
>>217386998I never got the idea good was ever gonna win. I expected the ending to include Winter coming for King's Landing, and maybe a few scattered broken survivors trying to rebuild civilization from the ashes.
This Sunday is going to be very disappointing indeed.
>>217387132GRRM has stated before that the ending of ASOAIF will be "bittersweet", and also that he considers the ending of LOTR to be "bittersweet", so we have a pretty good idea of what sort of a finale he is going for when it comes to tone.
>>217386915He’s an ugly short fat man of course he only sees the worst of humanity
>>217387148>bland medieval filterDropped
>>217386715George shittalked condal more, said hotd was not his story anymore, talked about condal blowing him off at first after season 1 when george defended him from sapochnik and getting him the job in the first place, and then even went so far as to get hbo to tell george to fuck off and leave condal alone and send any of his messages to them instead. Like a girl getting one of her guy friends to tell you to just send things to him first to check it out before she reads it. All this after george was helping and giving advice for season 1 apparently. He also talked about jon snow chapters, so jon was confirmed to live for winds, as well as the original idea for asoiaf being that sansa would die, and tyrions story would be very depressing at the end. Also talked about making more dunk and egg books and how hes behind on everything and cant give up making winds cause he'll feel like a failure.
>>217387278>as well as the original idea for asoiaf being that sansa would die, and tyrions story would be very depressing at the endIt's important to note he's NOT talking about his original outline, that was his intention while the show was airing, and his mind was (maybe) changed by Sansa's ending in the show.
Sunset found him eating instead of writing.
>>217387297I actually cringe reading this every time. Rarely does anything provoke such a strong feeling of second hand embarrassment in me
>>217387327So George is going to turn Sansa into an insufferable all knowing girl boss like the show did? Better off she dies.
>>217387297Isn't Not-Sam Gamgee a fat useless coward in the books? I haven't read them in over a decade but I remember him being insufferable. Interesting he doesn't describe as "brave," "moral," "pure," or "loyal" like the actual Sam Gamgee. Instead it's weak, nebulous adjectives like "kind" and "decent" and "devoted"
>>217386649Inb4 >report eceleb threads as off topic
>I have to write more Dunk and Egg.That’s it. I also fucking hate his guts. Hope he dies. Fuck him.
>>217386915He was always cynical shitlib boomer but I think age just caught up with him, he just doesn’t have the creative juice in him anymore.
>>217387459>Isn't Not-Sam Gamgee a fat useless coward in the books?He kills a Thargg(?) and a Whitewalker and figures out Dragonglass is the superweapon. He also is beyond the wall for weeks and remains extremely fat.
>>217387297This will never stop being funny
>>217387393>insufferable all knowing girl boss like the show didnta, while reading the books I always had the feeling that GRRM was building Sansa up to be the anti-Cersei and the one who would end up being the better game of thrones player. I just didn't understand how she would end up on the throne (I knew from the trilogy outline that Jon/Arya was a thing, but the actual books had not a single hint of Jon/Sansa and anyway I never really saw Jon being king material even with R+L=J). But now knowing that he wants Bran on the Iron Throne, to me it makes perfect sense for Sansa to end up as Queen in the North in the books too but this time with better writing and a build-up that's not "oh well she deserves something good after being raped".Not that I think he will ever finish the books, but still.
>>217387330
>>217386649I met him at a Schlotsky's in Santa Fe once. He was pretty cool.
>>217386649He should just get someone to build a custom 60b LLM for him and have it finish all his Dunk & Egg ideas and his ASOIAF books. He can afford it.
>>217386716>I was going to have Sansa dieI always suspected this was the case. He just can't help himself; he needs to subvert the princess fantasy so bad. He probably would've had Harry the Heir beat her to death or something.
>>217387996...you think Arya-Sansa conflict is actually from his original outline?
OP, there are other authors and book series to follow. Thousands and thousands of them. You can read all day every day for the rest of your life and you'll never run out of good stuff to read. Quit focusing on this fat fuck with writer's block and go read someone else's books. I recommend Kurt Vonnegut. Go read Slaughterhouse Five. It'll make you forget about Game of Thrones.
>>217388121Kurt Vonnegut sucks
>>217386649I lost interest in him when he was still doing Wild Cards and every time he wrote a story in the shared universe they were the worst fucking stories and usually shitting up continuity with his fetishes. He's the reason that book series died.
>>217388121I don't know Vonnegut is like 1 page away from reading another Pynchon Piss Adventure>inb4 basedAn open mind is like an unguarded fortress or something
Recap of the fat fuck's interview:>George said he's afraid the series will catch up with the novellas>said that "last year" he started writing two Dunk and Egg short stories, one set in Winterfell, the other in the Riverlands>reiterates that the ending of the books will be "significantly" different from the ending of the TV series because several characters alive in the books died in the series and vice versa.>he supported the idea of the Jon Snow spin-off because it would be the safest way to continue Game of Thrones without revealing the fate of other characters, since Jon lives in exile Beyond the Wall. Kit Harington wanted the spin-off series to show Jon with PSTD. Jon would send Ghost away, throw Longclaw away, and spend his time building and burning huts. The series would end with Jon dying. HBO thought this idea was too pessimistic and shelved the project. HBO is currently developing an Arya Stark spin-off series set in Essos.>Martin describes his current relationship with Ryan Condal, dude in charge of HOTD, as "abysmal". When Condal had a falling out with Miguel Sapochnik, he asked Martin for help, and Martin helped. Sapochnik left House of the Dragon after that and is currently working with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss in Netflix. George says that in the 2nd season, Ryan started to stop listening to his advice or responding to him. It got to the point where HBO asked George to send his observations to the network, and then the network would send George's observations to Ryan>George planned to write SIX blog posts criticizing House of the Dragon. The morning after publishing the first one, HBO called him furiously, and his assistant deleted the post. Rock bottom was when a Zoom meeting took place with George, Condal, and HBO executives to discuss the third season of HOTD. Martin had several criticisms of Condal's ideas and said: "This is no longer my story."
>>217387148tf is up with this dogshit filter, it completely ruins everything about these shows.
>>217388354>after that, HBO asked George to leave House of the Dragon and months later HBO asked him to return to the series>he said he has 1100 pages written of The Winds of Winter. He says he is always busy with other projects but the main problem is that he is never 100% satisfied and is constantly writing and rewriting chapters>he unintentionally lets slip that he wrote Jon Snow's POV chapters in Winds. He says he wrote a Tyrion chapter that he loved but would change the entire book. He then rewrote it to be a dream but that didn't work either.> says he doesn't want to abandon the books because he would feel like a failure, and that if he dies no one will take over the books and the series will end unfinished>Winds will be the longest book in the series>he says the TV series had a happy ending and that Tyrion won't have a happy ending in the books>he reveals that he planned to kill Sansa in the books but liked the Sansa from the TV series and now maybe he'll let her live>says that besides ASOIAF and Dunk and Egg, he also needs to finish Fire and Blood Volume 2>ends the interview saying: "I'm behind on everything">doesn't mention Dumb and Dumber once
>>217387019Your precious jannies can't save you now anon they're far too busy with a little "project" that I have tasked them with
>>217386998>He doesn't believe in the same things I do!GRRM's a hack for a thousand other reasons but you're autistically hyperfocused on his politics not being as black and white as your own. Is this the part where you scream CHRIST IS KING or something?
>>217387093Honestly, keep him Malcolm
>>217388121/lit/ anons please recommed something with similar world building to got.
>>217388556The Chronicles of Narnia.
>>217387548It's pretty clearly stated that he's not so fat anymore.
>>217388425George is a grown ass man that has spent ten years bitching on and off about the "rise of fascism in America" His politics are definitely more black and white than grey
>>217386716>shamelessly comparing himself to an author who actually completed the main story arc of his book series>I have to write more Dunk and Egginb4 he doesn't release another dunk and egg in the next decade
>>217386715Dante Moore projected #2 pick in the NFL Draft has opted to return to school instead of play for the New York Jets, so no new book
>>217388659>Too lazy/embarrassed to finish a bookHe's fat in spirit no matter how much surgery he gets
Why can't he just take on a co-writer for the main series?
>Chat, remove all references to food and eating in A Game of Thrones. How many pages remain?>After removal: 27 pages remain.
>>217388776He wants the books to be his brainchild, his vision. He could have hired a ghostwriter to just realize his vision, but he doesn't even know what the end goal he's meandering towards is.See the interview regarding Sansa.
>>217388354>Jon would send Ghost awayI got so hyped for those stupid direwolves 15 years ago. I thought they were going to be important and awesome. George pretends he's this amazing writer but they should have an opposite for Chekov's Gun: Martin's Direwolf. It's introduced. It's in the story. But it doesn't do shit. Lul expectations subverted retard! You got PRANKED! I saw posted somewhere we got real direwolves before GRR(I)M did anything with his.
>>217388826After reading one of those stupid hot shots superhero books he edits I start to wonder if that's how GoT was written as well. The stories meander off. The chapters "feel" different. It's like 5 people writing a D&D campaign with no outline. Now all the characters are scattered as winter sets in. It's just shit.
May his death be painful
>>217388753Hey now, first he honoured Herbert by copying the first volume of Dune and then by getting tired of the world he created.
>>217387926>being that rich and choosing to eat at schlotsky’sHe deserves everything he gets
