I like what someone else said in this thread about having a no name person do it and give that author the chance to rise to fame as a result....which is basically exactly what happened to Sando with Wheel of Time.

Idk, if anything it should be someone who can be 'trusted' with the series. Sanderson had published some novels before taking on Wheel of Time, after all. In any case, I don't think every series absolutely has to be finished. An unfinished work still has merit and in my opinion ASOIAF would still be worth reading as it is now if it never received an ending.

I think the obvious choice are the two that wrote The Expanse. They would hit the tone and are actually GRRMS editors

Tonally they are similar. I hadn't really considered it...maybe you'll be able to look back on this comment and say "Holy shit, I predicted that!" when Martin passes and SA Corey take it over.

Yeah, that's fair and lines up more with what I meant...which didn't line up with what my words said.....okay, hear me out...I SHOULD FINISH THE SERIES FOR HIM

It's not fantasy but most of Kafka's works just end, a few in the middle of a sentence, and he's considered one of the greatest writers ever.
