There's an Indiegogo you can donate to to encourage him to finish TWOW.

I understand the frustration, but that just sounds silly.

& Rude and pushy.

That's what I was thinking. He's already getting paid for the books and the TV series, which are both in high demand, right now.

What I am afraid of: GRRM passes away before he can finish the books.

He's told the ending to the guys who do the show so worst case scenario we'll see their version of the end.

I haven´t seen the tv show yet because it´s broadcasted on a pay channel >:[
But well, at least there is a chance I get to see "their" version if something happens to GRRM.

Happened with Jordan!

If he knew enough about the ending to tell the show writers like anon said above, then he probably has enough notes that can either be ghostwritten as full novels or published just as they are by family or friends in the event of his death.

He's said he doesn't want anyone else to finish the books. If he dies, the series dies with him.

Isn't this half the fanbase? Haha, I'm not in the fandom but I hear it so often. "JUST FINISH THE BOOKS ALREADY!"

NGL, that IS a long ass time to wait for a new book. I'm glad I'm not invested...

Yeah, I know, and I only started knowing about it when the show came out - can't imagine how frustrating it must be for the people who started reading what - 17 years ago?

...aaaaaand I just fully realized how long ago TorCon was, which was when GRRM was first shilling the series...

GRRM and Jordan are the two main reasons why I've sworn off multivolume epic fantasy. Among other things, I no longer have the patience to wait five years between books anymore.

[Picture is a painting of Jon Snow walking with a red-eyed white wolf by his side and looking at soldiers next to a castle during a snowstorm, from the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire".]

I want this stupid series to end already so I can finally stop caring. I'm too invested in what will happen to give up now, but I'm scared it's going to take 10 more fucking years for the last two books to come out (assuming he doesn't decide it'll take even MORE books to conclude the story.) Come on, George R. R. Martin, throw me a bone here.

I'm calling it: Rocks fall; everybody dies.

Wow, nice fanart.

TWENTY TWO YEARS
ELEVEN MONTHS
TWENTY FOUR DAYS

I jumped ship at 13 years. Thinking of catching up on it now but that means starting over to refresh my memory

yeah but it finished. it's been 17 years for 5 books. at this rate another 15 for the last two

here I'll save you some time

"hey there's an interesting world with lots of stuff going on HERE IS SIX THOUSAND PAGES ABOUT HOW WOMEN ARE WEIRD AND SCARE ME"

OBERNEWTYN. Classic Australian fantasy series. 26 years. Six books. Still going. I LAUGH at Game of Thrones fans (nine years between two books).

(Late comment is as late as the books.)

I still haven't read the last book yet

I don't want it to be over

To be honest, the fact that the series is not finished seriously puts me off the books. Some people I know have read them and they rave about how good they are, but I just can't invest all that time when the series is not finished and especially when it looks like it'll be more than 10 years before it ends. Maybe I'll give the books a shot when the whole thing is over, but right now? Nope. I'm off to read other (finished) books/series.

You will miss out the fandom. It will die once series is finished and all questions answered.
