Happy Ent Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Just yesterday I finished a re-read of Judging Eye and I’m fine with the logistics of the Cil-Aujas scene. At most critical points, Cleric hangs back and kills hundreds, if not thousands, of Sranc. This gives our group a chance to run away. The Captain always goes down and left, making it difficult for the Sranc to surround them using other passages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Seriously though, where is our completed sample chapter? Where is our merest fraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello World Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I assume he will only publish it once the final revision of the book is done, which should happen any year now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasp of Many Reeds Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Bakker to promise publication within one celestial aeon. Unholy Consult to still be out before Winds of Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm actually starting to wonder about that. GRRM has hinted he'll be done by the end of the year. And unlike Bakker, GRRM has enough clout to push out all sorts of other titles if they want a quick turnaround. My suspicion is that they'd launch it near the time the next season goes on.

Yeah, the stuff on GRRM's blog was pretty damn encouraging if you ask me. One never knows, of course. It's kind of like trying to parse the words that come out of a Federal Reserve meeting and figuring out what it means for interest rates or something, but it feels like he knows that he's getting close. With Unholy Consult, I just don't know what to make of where we're at both because it seemed a few months ago like we were at the finish line and now the radio silence along with talk of it being split into two volumes.

Rhom Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I wish I was confident about TWoW. I seem to recall GRRM canceling a trip to WorldCon or something to work on Dance and it still wasn't finished for two more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I know that he desperately wants to get ahead of the show. And I think he sees it pretty close. Beyond that who knows. It's a bit sad that it's even a discussion at this point, especially if tuc was handed in for review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds of winter will come out with deathly hallows rapidity, if not faster.I wonder if they'll have simultaneous global release on all platforms, rather than midnight per timezone.

Hello World Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 With Unholy Consult, I just don't know what to make of where we're at both because it seemed a few months ago like we were at the finish line and now the radio silence along with talk of it being split into two volumes. My guess is that within a few weeks at most he’s going to say he finished it. I know he went silent before and then came back with something unrelated, but he said ‘any day now’ back in January [at the end of January]. He said something very similar last year before he announced that he delivered the book to the beta readers, and that took him about three months IIRC.

Larry of the Lawn Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 We should have some kind of gambling pool based on the publication date of TUC. It would be like, Benjukka for Dummies or something. But instead of wagering money, we could wager our souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello World Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 We could come up with numbers and then ask the mods to ban anyone who’s not within a month of actual publication date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those of us who are still reading have no doubt lost theirs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sologdin Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 as it happens, i'm actually paying, or rather my LLC is paying, proper currency for the actual animus. up to $1000, contigent upon result of purity examination. first LLC confects the commercial paper, then cuts it into tranches and securitizies it for resale to very stupid rich people. win/win motherfuckers!
