GRRM Confirms That He's Hasn't Worked On ASOIAF Since 2022 - eviltoast

Apologies for the slightly off-topic post…

It’s not looking good, folks…

George R R Martin confirms he hasn’t written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that’s now 12 years old… https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

    IIRC from some article or interview way back then, Martin had provided D&D an outline of all the major plot points he intended through the end of the series. So while they might not have had the specifics, the major points would have been there.

    If that was true, then it would make sense that they used those major points for the basis of the rest of the show. After the abysmal reception of those points by the fans, I would imagine Martin would have stopped to think about his plans, possibly losing interest entirely.

    That assumes that he did in fact provide those major points to D&D in the first place to have adapted however.
