Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...

It's not looking good, folks...

George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

How to kill your fan base by making them wait decades: a GRRM story

Twist the knife with that God awful last few seasons to the show, too. Really kill any good will you had with your fans.

I'm afraid what happened is that he saw the fan reaction as a hate of the major plot points themselves, rather than of the abysmal pacing and handling of it all. We've been told that the broad strokes were from his drafts and plans for the series.

I liked most of the last few seasons. Everything up to the Night King's death was good IMO; it went to shit when they rushed Daenerys going nuts afterwards
