Hey listen. If my dad came in and told me some crazy bedtime story and then dozed off before he finished you better BELIEVE I'm waking his ass up.

And we’re not his serfs. He’s not entitled to any amount of deference from us. He’s as free to ignore us as we are to be annoyed by his obvious disinterest in writing the books.
i think he owes his readers fucking honesty. if he can’t or doesn’t want to finish the series just say so.
Perhaps you should chill about telling people to chill, they are not your dancing monkeys.
GRRM brought this on himself and deserves all of the shit he gets. He set the expectation for books 6 and 7 and now he has to deal with his failure to deliver.
Yes and no, and jesus these “GRRM isn’t your bitch” comments are getting as tiresome as the people joking about how he needs to finish the books before he dies.
Yes and no.
2015's obnoxious trend: people complaining that he should just be working on the book.
According to at least one dude on every single GoT book thread (but usually more than one), no one cares about the books now, and Martin won’t make any money on them because people got to see the show’s ending.

“When you think of vampires, chances are you think of Anne Rice’s Lestat—gothic, beautiful, tortured, romantic”
With Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, I think you may have invented the genre of gothic science-fiction.
Just fantastic! Really awesome! This is exactly the kind of smart twist that can really work wonders for and totally reinvigorate a fran...
I bloody love ALF. I think that it's hilarious. It's one of my favourite sitcoms. This episode is very depressing though.
This week, on a very special Growing Pains:
So you do not accept the authors writing because you find it offensive. You don't accept his reasons. Stop reading and write a more enthralling Fantasy epic thats completely historically accurate and at the same time PC so as not to offend anyone in the world ever.
Frankly, you don't know what you're talking about.
Martin doesn't wave the War of the Roses banner to ward off criticism - he addresses illogical criticism with logic. The War of the Roses heavily inspired Ice & Fire's setting and arcs. Martin doesn't write autobiographically - sexism, racism, prejudice, rape,…
Man, if Lord of the Rings came out today, the politically correct shitstorm would be DEAFENING. Any people of color automatically serve Sauron and the orcs are also darkskinned. How about enjoying a great work of FICTION?
That's pretty niggardly.
South Park, Archer, etc are not funny because they're 'crude,' they're funny because viewers detect high level of thought behind the writing. The humor of these shows is in the details. People like you do not appreciate details.
Thanks! Though if you've only seen a YouTube best-of Archer, you're not only missing out on the story context that makes the show work, and humanizes the character, but also not getting the "best of" the show. I also disagree with your psychoanalysis.
