George RR Martin signs five-year, eight-figure deal for more HBO projects

I hate it and fucking love it.

I'll admit it, i am totally his bitch. I read the books as they came out. I started the series excited but have been putting off finishing the series (i stopped around the third season, when i realized he wasn't going to be finishing the books any time soon). I'll finish the series (and these offshoots) after he publishes and i read the Winter books and the second Fire and Blood book. I realize he may never finish and i may never get to watch them. That's life. I kinda like the wait.

If i don't get to read them cuz they never come out, tough titty i guess, fuck it, i'll just reread the series and make up the endings myself.

I think i appreciate how he is going about it. He's being how i would want to be, how i think it should be...don't do shit on anyone else's schedule. Make something amazing how you want to make it.

It sure is frustrating though.
