      That is such a ravenclaw thing to say.

      Brb, writing GRRM a letter asking him to finish writing my slop before he dies.

        First two books of ASoI&F were pretty good, I thought. Then the rest were just him writing himself in circles, ever more slowly. Then the TV adaptation came out, to initially great acclaim, and then ended with a damp fart.

        Yes, there were more problems with the end of the show than just his plot, or lack of it, but I can’t see that the ending will be redeemed without substantial changes, and his skills as a writer don’t really extend to “writing towards the desired ending”.

        I think if we do ever get a conclusion to the book series, it will be written by someone else; I believe he’s left instructions to destroy all his notes and work-in-progress when he dies?

          Do you trust it to be more profitable to follow those instructions or to disobey them?

      Even if you interact with the fandom, you are certainly not doing it in public, be it on forum, Reddit, Lemmy or Discord, you will encour the risk of gettin flashed with either some strange images or see other things you don’t wanna see and this get worse the bigger the fandom get
