Pretty sure that depends on what he actually wants done with it. It's engulfed so much of his life at this point, he might not even want anyone else to finish it. So unless his publishing company or whoever else owns the majority right(very possible too) it might literally never be done. --- I do drawings and stuff https://www.fiverr.com/blueblitz ...

then he'll get exactly what he wants. i guarantee you he just wants the whole "unfinished legacy" bit where the writer dies before finishing his works and everyone spends eternity talking about what would've happened sadly the whole "author died too soon, left works unfinished and we'll never know what they truly wanted to do" mystery only works if the author actually tries to complete the works while they're alive grrm's just forcing it for that clout --- St. Louis Battlehawks (1-1) ...

Stop guys, he doesn't like when you say that! In an interview with Vanity Fair, Martin expressed his discomfort with his fans' tendency to theorize about his death and what that could mean for the popular A Song of Ice and Fire series. "I do find it a little grisly," he said. "People speculating online about whats going to happen to the rest of the books when I die. I dont like to speculate about that.

This is what I assume as well, unless his estate restricts anyone from doing so. I've always thought James S. A. Corey (the two guys that wrote The Expanse series) would do a good job. Granted theirs is a sci-fi series but it's written in the same way (each chapter jumping POV from one character to another). Plus IIRC they already know GRRM and unlike him actually finished their series. --- Buffalo Bills Season Prediction 12-5 Week 1: TNF @ LAR ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just_a_loser posted... Then he just dies. The world goes on. I'm not an ASOIAF fan but why would you respect someone making a ton of money on a series and then essentially abandoning it? When someone starts buying a series there's a tacit agreement that that series is going to be finished at some point, or people wouldn't have bought it in the first place. If people hadn't have bought it in the first place, GRRM wouldn't have the financial freedom to be working on all the pet projects he wants today. --- Down with the Signess. ... Copied to Clipboard!
