The first thought that runs through my mind anytime I see George RR Martin’s name in a headline is “Shit, he died!”.

And I don’t know if I’ll even be disappointed or not, which is sad, since it seems he’s never going to finish his books anyway. Unless he’s pulling the ultimate troll and already has the entire series finished, but is refusing to release it until his death.

That would actually be a baller move to troll everyone and leave the fished books to be his final message to the world. I doubt that’s his plan though.

No his plan is far worse. This is a literal quote from him in like the 80s.

“If I were really cynical…I wouldn’t write what I’m writing now, these novels. I would start some sort of medieval sword-and-sorcery thing and say it’s a trilogy…and then keep writing it for the rest of my life.”

He doesn’t even plan to end them. And now that there’s an ending via the TV series I’m sure he’s even less motivated. He just wants money and fame.
