Please no one do this to Tolkien.

George RR Martin forfeited the series to the TeeVee scriptwriters.

And they blew it up.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

it's been twelve years since the last Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire book. And Martin isn't getting any younger.

And the books aren't getting any better. AGoT was a fine start and ACoK and ASoS were each better than the last. But a Feast for Crows was bad and A Dance of Dragons was worse. And now Martin seems to be struggling with a complete lack of motivation to finish his books, combined with some sort of massive writer's block.

Maybe not finishing TWoW and whatever the last book will be titled is for the best.

This is a BIG “uh oh” moment for writers seeking to sell novels.

I've tried this and got similar results. The AI needs to be fed the five books, otherwise it falls to the show.

Jon can't be in the first chapter because he's dead. Daenerys can't be in Meereen, she's in the Dothraki Sea, presumably on her way to Vaes Dothrak.
