OMG i skipped this thread because i thought it was something else... it should be Song of ICE and FIRE.
That's so awesome!
you have that worry with HBO? the only thing in the story that might not make it is that jaime is cersei's lover/father of her children. and it wouldn't injur the story much to make it someone other than her twin brother.Originally posted by: GagHalfrunt
I just get this sinking feeling that HBO is going to insist that it's watered down and sanitized before making it on the air.
he's only killed off eddard stark (and maybe the briene of tarth). the others were background characters. he didn't even have the good sense to keep catelyn stark dead.I also wonder how the viewing public will feel about a series where a major character dies every week. Fans of the books will certainly get it, but I don't think the average TV viewer is going to stick with things if their favorite character croaks in week 4 and their second favorite dies in week 5.

the thing i don't understand is, he said a year and a half ago that the book was almost done but far too long for 1 volume. so they split it. and now it's been over a year since feast came out and we still don't have any idea when dance will come out.
Do you ever read his 'not a blog' and news?
The reason it hasn't been finished is because he won't write it! He says that he isn't one of those authors that will "write on a plane, or in a hotel, or a coffeshop when i'm traveling" He has also had his home going through a remodel, and simply couldn't write when that was going on. Then it was football season and he couldn't stop watching. The freakin excuses and reasons for not writing go on and on and on.
He will only write when absolutly nothing else in his life is going on, he is at home with quiet and no chores to do, when he's gotten just the right amount of rest and the correct breakfast foods, the temperature is between 68 and 72 degrees and he has nothing to plan for in the next two weeks.
So he writes about two days a year.

was a background character. important, but background.
I thought Rome was done because all the major turmoil will be over once Augustus ascends the throne? After that, it would pretty much become a first century West Wing.
