Fuck that, he owes his fans a conclusion. Tens of millions of people are waiting for that, it isn't something he can throw a bitch tantrum over and just screw his fans.

You paid for five books so far. You got five books.

Where the fuck are the last two then? I'll tell you who an author that cared about the story is. Steven Erickson, who wrote Malazan Book of the Fallen. Each book is as long or longer than the shortest book in ASOIAF, and Erickson wrote one book a year for TEN YEARS FUCKING STRAIGHT.

While he was also teaching postgraduate anthropology, and doing his own research and publishing it as well. He had a fucking day job, and he write a full 600+ page book every single year, got his series done, didn't go to a single comic-con to shit on other writers, and is still writing more.

Meanwhile your excuse for GRRM is, "You paid for FIVE books!" Its been fucking what, nearly thirteen or fourteen YEARS since the last book came out? Oh, but he wrote a prequel in the meantime, I bet you'll come up with. So he can still write, he just fucking quit mid-work. Fuck GRRM.

I'm glad I quit reading A Game of Thrones due to his boring, dry, plodding writing style and didn't give him any more money, and I'm glad I only watched a pirated version of his show. Dude does not deserve the notoriety he's gotten. Not when there are writers who actually finish their fucking books.

I am absolutely fine if he never finishes. There are lots of stories, fiction or not, that never got to any ending. I’m not his lawyer, but people need to leave the man alone

Counterpoint: he absolutely can. And probably will.

And his fans should file a class action lawsuit to take the IP out of his sole greedy control.

You think fans should be able to take away the original creator's rights?

On what fuckin grounds? "I didn't like it" or "you didn't make enough of it" isn't legal standing to take control of intellectual property, if it was then netflix wouldn't have control over basically any of the IP for their original programming

Hey, you're right, we should go after them next too. Involve the people who got screwed out of a job by the consulting group that's running the goddamn network, they have a stake in that they were screwed out of a job altogether by Netflix just prematurely shotgunning out unfinished series.

I'm not making a statement on the morality of art and ownership, I'm pointing out that there is no class action lawsuit (or any other kind of legal action) that could compel an IP holder to give up control of that IP because fans are dissatisfied with the work (or lack therof)

I care way more about the fans than Netflix or GRRM. People who finish their works can keep control over them. Works that don't get finished should enter the public domain and get fucking finished by people who clearly fucking care about them a lot more.

Why is it so vitally important for the fans that a work gets completed? I mean, it's a minor inconvenience at best. And, y'know, fanfic exists. Nobody's stopping you from writing the last book(s) yourself.
