shipperx | He is NEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeever Going To Finish This Thing (Reply)

*headdesk*

From EW.com:

The Thrones-verse rumor mill went into overdrive Tuesday as outlets jumped on a comment attributed to George R.R. Martin’s editor that hinted the New Mexico-based fantasy author might write eight books for his epic Song of Ice and Fire saga instead of the long-planned seven...

You know, if he would stop adding extraneous subplots with a bazillion characters, he might could finish. I cannot think the initial endgame was this damn complicated. Honestly, the "Mereneese Knot" could've been handled in (at most!) a quarter of the time and would have made just as much damn sense. And don't even get me started on superfluous Greyjoys (who still have not been cast... showing exactly how 'essential' some of them came off as being...)

I did laugh at one of the comment-strings though.

>My Advice to George: Get an editor and LISTEN to that person.

>>He HAS an editor. {...} She did a Q&A the other day. She basically says she never cuts anything and is a slave to George completely.

>>>>>Eventually Emilia Clarke will get around to freeing her.
