The new ASOIAF novella comes out in a few days. It's a good time for a Song of Ice and Fire thread.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 2 23:30:46 2017 No.10100371 It's not worth reading. Its GRRM's editors noticing that the books are years away and forcing him to release something while GoT is still popular

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 3 01:17:25 2017 No.10100637 >>10100393 Obviously because small novellas detached from the labyrinthine lore of the main books are way easier to write without succumbing to procrastination.

So let me get this straight, he's supposed to be finishing his sixth novel, so that he can catch up with the show, even though they've gone off in their own direction since they have workers who actually have to meet deadlines, and instead he shits out a fluff side story? HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 3 10:11:28 2017 No.10101963 >>10099847 Why doesn't he just finish the damn series? I bet Gaiman regrets defending him.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 3 10:13:02 2017 No.10101968 >>10101802 He's clearly given up on the main series and is letting the showrunners finish it. The sixth book will never come out.

Nah, the only reason anybody cares about any of the books or series at all is because there is something there that was not there except for him.

He could write and finish it all on time, and they would still scream for more, because they are insatiable swine, with no inner lives of their own, raised on instant gratification and being told they were very special people.

And my two inch chode leaks semen twice a week, whereupon I usually write a small limerick or poem, though lacking in any real depth, still has more literary merit than two tools of commercial capitalism and their products.
My chode anon. My chode.

It's more light-hearted than the main series and a good read if you like medieval short knight stories and/or duos.

Basically Martin tried to make something somilar without contrived conspiracies, shock value deaths and sex and the end result is arguably an improvement.
