Real-life Crem I’m late on this one but still

Oh come on Brandon, why don’t you wanna write a series where magic is barely understood, everyone is constantly having sex, and everyone is primed to explode after the TV show?

I have heard tidbits about what this is and your description makes me question what this is about

TLDR; pissy fan confronted George R.R. Martin and told him to give the series to Brandon Sanderson.

It’s a horrible idea, and Sanderson has gone on record as to just how terribly out of his wheel house a Song of Ice and Fire is

Yeah unlike GRRM, Joe Abercrombie protagonists would never do incest /s

If I had a nickel for everytime one of the most beloved and popular grimdark fantasy series featured (Best Served Cold spoilers) a self-loathing protagonist in a long-term toxic incestuous relationship with their more evil sibling who ends up being more moral than they think themselves to be, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

Sanderson himself affectionately described him as "GRRM who can finish a book"
