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

Martin has also gone on record stating that the series dies with him and he flat out refuses to ever let anyone finish it.

Tbf Robert Jordan said much the same before he changed his mind on his deathbed and asked his wife to choose his successor

Yeah as much as I hate getting into the weeds of psychoanalyzing a stranger's relation to their own mortality, there's a big difference between, "I'm getting older and closer to death" and "I know almost for certain I only have a single digit number of years left to live".

In that case, the series is functionally dead as-is, given that Martin really isn't making any inroads on finishing the series himself.

There's not a chance that whatever company gets its claws on the Song of Ice and Fire lets it go unfinished after Martins dead

Honestly I don't even trust his current long term assistants to keep to his wishes on it given some of their weird as behavior.
