It's no secret that people are desperate for George R. R. Martin to continue the Game of Thrones novels with the sixth installment The Winds of Winter. The author has been tinkering away at the book for over 15 years now, having written four chapters before HBO's hit adaptation even started airing in 2011 – but fans are still waiting on its completion.
With that, a reader took it upon themself to ask Martin for an update at Seattle WorldCon 2025, but their untactful directedness hasn't gone down well with the wider community.
People are taking whole “finish the book” way too far, like sure we all want the books to finish but some ppl are being evil and hateful. Like i doubt any of them actually want the books but they’re hating on him just because.August 16, 2025
Disgusting behavior. Imagine thinking it’s okay to tell someone to their face that they’re going to die soon. GRRM doesn’t owe anyone anything!! Sometimes I feel really embarrassed to be part of this fandom, and this is one of those times. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?August 16, 2025
JFC. If I were in George’s shoes, I wouldn’t release the books even if they’re completed just to spite these entitled jerks. I can’t imagine dealing with decades of endless harassment from supposed “fans”August 17, 2025
Genuinely so disgusted that a person would actually say that to his face.August 16, 2025
