So does this mean he's finally finished book 6?

Then finish some more books! You lazy fat fuck!

It is considered good etiquette by most security companies to conduct 100%. Checks even if we know them

This is why authors shouldn't become famous until after they're dead
Manfred3000
Would be funny if it actually was him, GRRM only writes online on Livejournal.
It was on his Facebook page.
pronoun
I don't get people complaining about the delays. I'd rather he take his time than rush out anything. There's so much else to watch and read.

Expect some guards to suffer a gruesome death next season.

He stopped writing years ago.

You can understand the office's mistake. They're used to seeing people come in with things to be published.

My friend doesn't get this joke and would like to.
George R.R. Martin is the author of the books Game of Thrones is based on. But they aren't finished and he doesn't seem to be writing.
RandomVoiceFromTheInternet
Everyone's acting like this comment is savage, but I'm pretty sure this is exactly the joke that was being made originally...
You know, I didn't see the title at first but yes you're right. That said, it's VERY common to get points on Imgur simply by being obvious.
Oh for sure, it was a worthy enough comment by Imgur's standards, obviously. I guess people are just slow and need the joke repeated ;)

he can afford to dress and look like a fat hobo
I think he looks like a Tugboat Captains tbh
True. Being fat is probably a sign of success for a hobo though.
ArtOzz
Youre claiming there are people who have the job title of 'Professional Hobo' and that a skilled Hobo is fat?
Maybe?
I said the same about Gabe Newell. That aint healthy and no one can rationally argue otherwise. A proper diet isnt time consuming.
JudgementalMan
Its not healthy but neither is drinking or smoking, or super triathlons but people do them anyways.
skaroreg
Shut up and write a damn book
comacomacomacomachameleon
if he's talking to his publisher at their office, it's a good sign that he's close.
buggeredifiknow
or negotiating for more time.
When feast of crows came out dance with dragons was "almost done"
18yearoldBlackDynamite
Winds of Winter has been in editing hell for years. I'm sure A Dream of Spring is written, too, just sitting and editing.
Im imagining a book editing itself right now, in precisely the same way a women may apply and remove makeup.
Tassyr
STOP WANDERING AROUND AND FINISH YOUR BOOK SO THE FANS WILL SHUT UP ALREADY.
ADemocraticBOI
I wasn't expecting the reason for the request.
What can I say. I'm just not into it.
Randomman96
He can only do that when he can get into the publisher's office, which he just explained why he can't.
Nadv49
So true.
Radix865
Don't worry, he's working hard at home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lle4t4o8EDk
SeriouslyAwkward
but at least the ending is secured through the series. I've heard he already divulged the ending to the producer. The shows no ahead of the
books i believe. So theres no rush i guess for him to finish it before he dies of some random reason
Vaanhalen
He doesn't know how. He's never completed a story arc before. Why do u think he just kills everyone off the moment writing a character gets
Complex, intricate, or detailed? Nah just kill em off or start with new characters again. He avoided Tyrion for almost an entire book.
Honestly I wouldn't know. I've not read any of it. They just haven't appealed to me for some reason.
AkLonewolf
You hear he is putting out a new book with 15 new short stories that take place Before the first book?
JustSayingHowItIs
Like wtf
dtyn8
Actually, that could make sense assuming people would read that after the first book. One of the best things about the first book is 1/2
2/3 How it puts you into the eyes of children in this big weird world. And the adults who's heads you do get to see inside also have lots of
3/3 interesting pasts. Particularly concerning houses and alliances. Not to mention Targaryen lineage and various house traditions/views.
Ivegotsomethinginmyfrontpocketforyou
That wouldn't be very profitable..not when he can drag this out as long as possible and keep making money off of merch and book re-releases
PoppinLochNessHopster
The guy is literally old as fuck. He could spent so fucking much money EVERY day and die before getting close.
Solivoid
Hm. Quantify "fuck" for me?

I see this old chap has the habit to count from 0.
Spongybunny
I've already reread the series 3 times. I'm trying to see how many times I have to reread it before the next book comes out.
HarryPotterReferenceProbably
How do you re-release a book?
somenerandom
Maybe a map/ interview or something, but mostly new covers. I don't even know how many "new editions" the Harry Potter books have gotten.
Psychedelicious
Same way you re-release Skyrim.
Ohhhh
Bliffity
He adds mods?
Drougals
Yeah there called maps and covers. See lord of the rings and harry potter
PolarHailStorm
He can't. He'll not admit it directly, but he seems like he's written himself into walls. Also the fans will never be happy with the oucome.
Yourmuffinfuckingsucks
Fans won't be happy partially because they've had years to think of their own endings. I don't blame the guy for taking his sweet ass time
Not just that, but also because they're going to build it up to be something more than it is. Like Duke Nukem or HL3.
TheOneTrueOpinion
Yeah everyone's already figured out the big twist, and then the show revealed it last season
The White Walker origins? Somehow, going off G.R.R.Martin's previous sci-fi work, I think that will be (subtly) different in the books.
Written himself into walls how? (Seriously, I haven't been bitten by this bug for some reason.)
Selerox
Because right now all he can do is either a) write the "book of the series" or b) write something *completely* divergent from the series.
... Well that's what he gets for going to a show with his series unfinished.
I suspect he did that to try and gain some advice/help from other writers and producers etc.
Buckbeak1486
My two theories...: 1) The last books are finished and he's keeping them hostage. 2) He's going to die before they're finished.
rashindus1962
He promised his wife not to kill Arya, but still wants to, so the "hostage" books will be released posthumous. Dead man gets no shit.
ilikepointythings
We'll get Winds of Winter eventually, I don't have much hope of ever seeing the final volume though :(
AwkwardKeming
I bet they're done but viewership is super profitable and the book buyers are going to buy them no matter when they come out.
doesanyoneevenreadthese
Yep.
YharnamsFinest
Even if he dies the writers of the TV show apparently know how it's going to end
Elven91
Lol update your news. The series is long past the books and it has taken a different route from what the books will be.
Got some proof that they've changed it since GRR told them how to end it?
Taking different routes to the same end doesn't equate having a different end
It's not to the same end. The proof is that there is one third less characters in the books, the knights of the vale cannot surpass Moat
Cailin in the books so they will not join Jon against Ramsey, most of the battles happening in this series are not taking in consideration
