Some people cite J.R.R. Tolkien as the opposite of George R.R. Martin when it comes to finishing books. Which is funny if you actually know anything about Tolkien.
These people mistakenly think that Lord of the Rings is a trilogy just because it often gets printed in three volumes. LOTR is of course the sequel to The Hobbit and there were seventeen years between these publications.
The rest of Tolkien's Middle Earth books were published after his death, many in a series appropriately titled Unfinished Tales.
If you actually want an example of an author of a fantasy series with an impressive output then Robin Hobb should be on top of the list. Between 1995 and 2017 she published 16 books in her Realm of the Elderlings series.
Oh no, George had to FILL OUT A FORM? To propose a panel? And he might be rejected? Golly gosh. What a terrible thing for him to have to go through. Thoughts and prayers, George. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/17/game-of-thrones-writers-dismay-as-he-is-frozen-out-of-glasgow-sci-fi-event-worldcon #worldcon #grrm

That answers a question often asked by readers of #ASongOfIceAndFire.
i wanted to check how the #asoiaf community is doing when there is still no new book in the series
turns out theyve resorted to creating spectograms of #GRRM's speech to determine if he said "but I still have hundreds more to go" or "but I still have a hundred more to go"
this is what the internet is meant for

And now, the namesake of the collection:
h. Nightflyers: Captivating read. At first I thought the theme was going to be something related to voyeurism, since it paid a lot of attention to how the characters were being watched all the time. I was a bit surprised when it turned into horror/mystery. The characters were well-defined. I felt like the ending didn't really hit the mark, though. The truth about the volcryn felt rushed.
f. Night Shift: Showing a sci-fi world from the perspective of a character that finds no wonder or excitement from it, I think it's one of the most interesting stories in this book. If it weren't from some sci-fi machines, it would almost describe any packing/shipping plant.
g. Bitterblooms: This one is also interesting, and (a common sentiment in this collection) also sad. I think the main character is the most fleshed out in the book, by far.
d. Fast Friend: A tale of loss and coping with it. This time the intermixing of past and present was more effective, in my opinion. What happens to one of the characters made me think of a sci-fi version of dementia.
e. This Tower of Ashes: Another one I didn't really like. The MC is a bit entitled, and the mystery of what actually happened at the end is not really interesting.

c. "Patrick Henry, Jupiter, and the Little Spaceship": Quite a somber story, and made me feel bad for the protagonist, even if at the same time I think of him as a sort of proto-Elon Musk (who I don't like) and SpaceX (a waste of resources).
3. Viajeros en la Noche (George R.R. Martin, compiled 2012): I've read two stories from this Spanish compilation of science fiction stories by GRRM.
a. The Stone City: Didn't like it too much. A bit obtuse for me, I think. The ending had a very "House of the Undying" from AGOT feel.
b. The Way of Cross and Dragon: I liked it much more, maybe because it felt closer to me in some way. Reminded me of the Endymion duology by Dan Simmons.
Patrick Rothfuss, George RR Martin and Scott Lynch walk into a bar.
11 years later I'm still working on finishing the punch line to this joke but I have no release date for it yet.
Großartiger Kommentar unter diesem Patrick Rothfuss Video :-D

Warner kündigt weiteres GAME OF THRONES-Spinoff an
Eins kann man zu Warner Bros. sagen: Sie geben stets alles, um eine Kuh so lange zu melken, bis nur noch ein Gerippe übrig ist, um damit möglichst viel Kohle zu scheffeln.

Listening to an interview with George RR Martin from 2010 where he mentions that the last RPG he played was a homebrew space themed game run by his assistant who had incidentally written a novel set in that world.
The first book of #TheExpanse was published in 2011.
This isn't some big revelation but I don't think there are many, if any, earlier mentions of these books in any media.
So, I finally finished #AGameOfThrones (first time in English, second time overall) after over a month.
Martin's writing is as captivating as ever, and while it starts at a brisk pace, the latter chapters get more like they continue to be for the rest of the books (a bit long-winded on some things).
I felt as though I understood more of his intentions, and made me think of posibilities I hadn't considered before.
