Re: The winds of winter release date

Have we gotten our annual "No, it won't be out this year" apologia yet from Martin?

Re: What would be an interesting prequel?

I don't think that any prequel would be interesting, unless that it is set so far back in time and/or so far away that there is really no connection to SoI&F. Otherwise, the plot is already affected by SoI&F's story, and there probably will not be a coherent story to be told. (This was the #1 thing ...

Re: The She-Wolf of the Vale

As luck would have it, you get a very prompt reply from me! Baelish will not be cast out of the Moon Door because they've already left the Eyrie for the Winter and will not return there until Spring. Moreover, I think that Baelish does have to hang around: otherwise, there is no reason for Sansa to ...

Re: The winds of winter release date

It's the 5th of January, dammit! I am entitled to my annual "No, I'm still not done with Winds of Winter but I hope to be by the end of the year" statement!

So if Tyrion IS playing the long con it doesn't count because I predicted it. :D
