It's the same people who use terms like 'IP' and 'content' unironically. The type of brain that thinks everything is a franchise that exists outside of the author's vision and can be taken over by anyone else. It is anti-art and infuriating. Read another book, there's tons of them.

Wow so many of you are intimately aware of George R. R. Martin's inner life and thoughts. Thank you for sharing all this valuable insight.

I love Sanderson. He’s not the right guy for this. Nobody should finish the series. George wrote himself into a corner as evidenced by how the show ended.

You make liking you easy

I’m not even a big Martin fan and like…yeah I’m sure it’s annoying but also this isn’t McDonald’s. What the fuck.

The type of person who demands with entitlement that GRRM finish the books is also the type of person who is going to hate the ending no matter what it is.

Thank you. I'm glad more people are disgusted by this behaviour. It was never okay.

I would like to think that Martin would pick an actually good writer to finish it off if he wanted but if he doesn't want it finished it is his call alone. It's funny because people did this stuff to Arthur Conan Doyle a century ago.
