Realistically, is it ever coming out?

The recent upsurge in ASOIAF threads is a good sign...Martinchads...I think we’re coming home...
Reminder:
>At least 500 pages minimum have been written

Winds? Probably.
Dream? Most likely by another author.

Absolutely? No Dream of Spring will ever hit our shelves.

It's kind of sad because I genuinely don't even care any more.
I got the first five books as a gift on my sixteenth birthday and read them all in a year. That was 10 years ago.

[Anonymous No.20531188]

Yeah it's coming. It may be released posthumously cobbled together from the tattered remains of the pages he leaves behind or released outright sometime in the next decade or so.

ADoS will be entirely written by somebody else with possibly some leftover scraps martin left behind spliced in for nostalgia marketing sake.

Asoiaf is too profitable to leave unfinished and unexploited at this point for whoever ends up with the rights.

Whether The Sir Fat Man ever finishes it or not, anything else that comes out will result in a chart like this. There will be a guide to show you what tier you should read until, with like Winds of Winter being in the shit tier.

[Anonymous No.20532060]

At the rate he is going it's likely he will die before Winds is released. It won't be written by ANYONE else as stated on his will. Fat Man Martin conned you. How does it feel to get bent over and fucked by this smelly cuck's micro penis? He will continue to work on many other books, TV series, videos games, literally anything that lets him put off finishing his main story. The Fat Man is stuck and can't finish or won't finish. He set out to become a successful TV writer. Mission accomplished. He gives not two fucks about you or your wishes. You will continue to consoom this IP but it will not be Winds of Winter or Dream of Spring.
I recommend The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. Great read. Move on form the smelly Fatso.

These guys were literally the only reason I kept reading the first book, but I'm glad I did. Was a solid read once shit finally started happening with the other storylines.

[Anonymous No.20532178]

>>20532116
Yeah, I feel that it's a slow start but the whole trilogy is deeply satisfying read. Inquisitor Glokta is one of my favorite in any fiction!

What's fucked up is that this isn't even supposed to be the last book. If GRRM keeps up his habits, chances are that he's just not going to finish the series

Same, just finished Dance a month ago and it genuinely infuriates me how many plot threads were left hanging right before exciting interesting shit happens.
>Bran's telepathy shenanigans with Bloodraven and the COTF, potentially tying into the Heart of Winter from book 1
>Littlefinger's shady plans for the North
>Jon Snow dying and probably turning into a wildcard upon revival
>the pink letter and whatever the fuck happened at Winterfell
>Hardhome
>Davos traveling to Skagos to pick Rickon up
>the North remembers
>Theon's post-Ramsay development
>everything to do with Oldtown (Sam's research on the White Walkers, the maester conspiracy, Jaqen H'ghar, glass candles, and Euron doing spooky Cthulhu shit, seriously this plotline has been left hanging since 2005 wtf george)
>Jamie and Brienne getting Stonehearted
>the Battles of Ice and Fire
>Aegon's attack on Storm's End
>Varys shenanigans
>Dany's interactions with her husband's former bloodriders+she likely won't return to Meereen
>Victarion and the dragon horn
>Tyrion meeting Dany
>Melisandre's past
>Euron's endgame
>Gregorstein
>the fucking ICE SPIDERS that were mentioned in book 1
>Melisandre's past with likely flashbacks to Asshai
And I probably missed several. The entire wait for TWOW is the century's biggest blueball.

No.
Fat fuck is incapable of it, he sold his muse.
He couldn't publish it these days anyways, not even bi-racial trannies in it to satisfy the rabid mob.

[Anonymous No.20535769]

>>20535557
Yes. Lol. I love that pic because it reveals the nature of women. Fucking fattie self inserts himself with Sam Turly but his fans want to be inseminated by the Hound.
I mean hell even some famous serial killers notoriously get a ton of nudes in the mail and women throwing themselves at them. Wild shit.

[Anonymous No.20535818]

>>20532060
WTF that screenshot
The gushing over the "dangerous, scarred man" is obviously WTF.
But it's worth calling out the WTF of "his scenes were so romantic and erotic". Like, you're weirdly attracted him, but that makes you interpret his platonic protective actions towards a young girl as *erotic*?
Also, "mutilated and dangerous" is an "explosive aphrodisiac", but if he was "old" then it'd be "creepy". What the fucking fuck? Being a monster isn't a dealbreaker, in fact it's hot. But being a little bit more too old would be so terrible that it would completely spoil the hotness of the dangerous mutilation. WTF.

[Anonymous No.20535888]

He will die before he finishes it. Game of Thrones got the worst possible resolution. Martin was outpaced by the show which ended up becoming canon even though it deviated quite significantly from the source material, and now the books are essentially an unfinished accompaniment to the show.

[Anonymous No.20536036]

>>20535375
fuck man you are exactly right. Jamie + Brienne is so much better in the books than the show. The entire Dornish plotline makes so much more sense and with far more interesting character dynamics than in the show. Littlefinger's involvement in the Vale and the ties to the Boltons in the north is so much better in the book than the show. Stannis' march on Winterfell and the drama that unfolds between Ramsey and Jon Snow is so much better in the book than the show. The revelation of magic re-appearing with the dragons and the maester's reaction (and lack thereof) with Sam's arrival in oldtown is so much better in the book than the show. Oh and obviously Tyrion's journey east and the introduction of Aegon is so much better in the book than it was in the show.

so yeah fuck me it's like I've suddenly felt all of the last 11 years of waiting all at once upon finishing the book.

Hopefully he ropes soon so Sanderson can finish the series in 4 weeks on a coke binge with Stephen King.

[Anonymous No.20536373]

>>20536036
Yeah Brienne is one of my favorite characters, and I despise women and troons. She just is... the one person in this whole fucking series that I can look at and say now SHE is an example of what a knight is.
