Pancakes1800 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that Theon was going to live for awhile in TWOW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallTale Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that Theon was going to live for awhile in TWOW? yeah. I remember asha being excited a bout the prospect of him making the kingsmoot invalid. Figured that being a big plot point in winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Shiznit Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Once the show spoils the ending, his motivation level to complete ADOS will plummet. I don't think it will ever see the light of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag_legion Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Last year this time I actually thought we might get the book in 2015. Now we may very well not get it until 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon2908 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 lol, that's what people said last year. GRRM:Nor is it likely to be finished tomorrow, or next week. Yes, there's a lot written. Hundreds of pages. Dozens of chapters. (Those 'no pages done' reports were insane, the usual garbage internet journalism that I have learned to despise). But there's also a lot still left to write. I am months away still... and that's if the writing goes well.Me thinks it will be out this year for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farerb Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 So what are you going to do about season 6? Watch it or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag_legion Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 On one hand I just to finish the series, but on the other hand the show has become pretty bad. I ll probably watch it out of boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizoz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Well, on September 20th he still thought he could finish by the end of the year. Now he is "months away still... and that's if the writing goes well". Assuming he hasn't regressed, that means he has somewhere between 2 and 3.33 months worth of good writing days left.How much is that? This post from May 2011, in which he lists the sizes of various partial manuscripts of ADWD, may give us an idea. The fastest writing apparently occurred between June and August of 2010, when he added 304 pages to his partial manuscript. I hope he's not using that as his baseline, or we might not see the book till 2018. The next fastest is from December 2010 to March 2011, when he added 159 pages in 3 months. Since that was also at the very end of the writing, let's use that - 53 pages per month -- as our "writing going well" number. In that case, he has an estimated 100-180 pages left to go.If we take the earliest and latest partials mentioned in that post, we get an overall total of 1029 pages in 50 months, or a bit over 20 pages a month. So, at an average writing speed, I estimate it will take him 5 to 9 months to finish, meaning the book would be published sometime between August and December.EDIT: changed "will" to "would", since an average writing speed is by no means guaranteed.

purple-eyes Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 the problem is that even you read the WOW in 2016 or 2017, you still need to wait for several more years for the last book. I think show will just tell you everything before you knew the ending of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggle Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'll watch just because I dont think I can avoid the spoilers from my community of friends and the general Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think show will just tell you everything before you knew the ending of the book. Exactly, even if things won't be exactly like in the books, the show will still reveal the major plot points and twists and the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Túrin the Turambar Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 yeah, so early 2017 maybe. We'll get the book by Xmas 2016. You have my word.for all we know it could be published in late Q2/16, or it could be in late 2018 or even later. getting rid of this deadline might increase his pace, or even slow it down.however, it's interesting that his "spoiler-paragraph" might be quite revealing regarding the show; mentioning that Euron and Victarion will be introduced, but Young Griff and Manderly will not; and not mentioning Catelyn in line with those that are already dead in the show and not in the books. hm...

tallTale Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I think we can all agree the show will reveal jons parents first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagl Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 He's 67 years. Plenty of time leftHeared of Robert Jordan ? he was even younger but...I think that if George didn't spend all his time blogging about some puppies there might have been some hope but..... I am really despressed not by the fact that we will get winds a couple of months later but i am trying to see what i can do to avoid the show and it's spoilers completely.
