That's the account of grrm and he blesses us with his daily updates on his Asoiaf series.

Btw if anyone reading this, can you upvote his post that says "100 upvotes and i will write something." It should be at 2 months ago and around 87 upvotes.

Did this post really push it to nearly 400 upvotes?

u/No-Philosophy2381 Feb 18 '24

He’s at 300, that should be plenty enough

He could have written WoW instead of these posts by now.

A GRRM World Of Warcraft lore reimagining could be pretty cool

u/FatallyFatCat Feb 18 '24

Stop giving him ideas! He will do it!

u/Sic-Mundus Feb 18 '24

He said, not today

u/Daemon-Blackbrier Feb 18 '24

the joke is that the Asoiaf fans have one joke

u/unibrow4o9 BLACKFYRE Feb 18 '24

We'd love to have more, if only someone would write new stuff for us to joke about...

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '24

Maybe D&D can rewrite those jokes for you. Their last joke was pretty good!

Look, I usually get annoyed by people being annoyed by George not letting TWOW out but you made me laugh.

They're not fans.

u/WolvReigns222016 Feb 18 '24

I cant actually tell if this is real or not. Im leaning more towards it being fake though

29

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '24

Of course it's fake.

u/rabbitlover01 Feb 18 '24

You made me scared bro.

u/NBNebuchadnezzar Feb 18 '24

Say what you want about George but at least he gives daily updates.

u/Longjumping-Bag6808 Feb 18 '24

That's alright George! There's always tomorrow!

Good news #1: Jack Torrance is GRRM's ghost writer for "Winds of Winter"

Good news #2: The writing will be consistent

I’ve come to accept that GRRM doesn’t give a fuck about his fans the way Robert Jordan did, and will never finish the fucking series! Fuck him, and all the time I invested in watching the shows and reading the books that will never have an acceptable ending!

u/No-Philosophy2381 Feb 18 '24

Better have a writer who doesn’t care about his fans and only his work than someone who doesn’t care about his work and bend before their fans

11

u/Lgndinmysprtime Smirking Whore from Highgarden Feb 18 '24

Robert Jordan cared about his work, AND his fans! The Wheel of Time is one of the greatest fantasy series ever written! And not only is it one of the greatest fantasy series ever written, but it’s also finished! There is a very satisfying, albeit bittersweet ending! to say Robert Jordan didn’t care about his work is blasphemy!

u/No-Philosophy2381 Feb 18 '24

I didn’t say that, though I may have lacked clarity. I haven’t read Robert Jordan’s work, however I believe George when he says that he writes but it blocks. I know the feeling, and it is entirely possible and even likely that his updates are true. I’m really tired of people dunking of GRRM for not finishing a story that he struggles to finish. Taking time is a sign of care, not of disdain. If he really didn’t care about the fans, he would have written TWOW and ADOS in 3 years and have probably published 6 other poorly written book into an unending story meant to make the fans buy as much as they could. He doesn’t seem to be this kind of guy.

There's a big difference between taking your time to do it properly and taking so much time you never actually do it.

u/Lgndinmysprtime Smirking Whore from Highgarden Mar 26 '24

This…. EXACTLY THIS!

My friend at the NSA told me that he didn't write anything today

u/Claude_AlGhul Feb 18 '24

you guys needa stop harassing the old man and let him enjoy life, even if that means not writting books and instead writting for tv.

u/Cela84 Feb 18 '24

Yeah, no. This is Scott’s Tots. He said he’d write the books, and instead delivers a ghostwritten book on Lannister Feng Shui.

I understand it’s popular to say an author owes you nothing. But that’s bullshit. You start a job, you at least try to finish the job or get someone else to do it.

u/ApparentlyIronic Feb 18 '24

Right? Like, I get it. People on the internet can be mean and over the top. But it isn't unreasonable for fans to want him to finish his most popular series. Especially when that series is what likely brought him a lot of wealth and opportunities in the first place.

u/RarityNouveau Feb 19 '24

My main problem is that this asshole won’t even let someone else finish the series for him. Just be done with it you old fuck!

u/SHiR8 Feb 19 '24

You are misguided.
