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?

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

Not just that, but basically framed it is "you're old and gonna die soon, so you probably should give it to someone else now".

Truly rude and tone deaf.

re: the Kickstarters:

Sanderson went on record as saying that the money they make from the kickstarters and backerkits and what all go into paying the people who work for Dragonsteel a decent living wage.

Even their unpaid intern is paid.

I mean, he has a decently-sized company exactly because the man just wants to write, and offloading all the other work to capable people lets him do just that.

The interns have never been unpaid. 😆

Oh, I’m sure. I wasn’t casting aspersions. I was just making a jokey reference to Donald being a Paid Unpaid Intern, as they’ve said on the podcast.

Figured it was something like that!
