There outta be a law

regulating how long these series can drag on..I mean some of the main characters are kids. Do you guy's realise we still have to get through their teen and adult years. I may be six feet under before this darn thing wraps up. I hope Mr. Martin is taking very good care of himself :grin:


THere, also, outta be a restriction about how long readers have to wait between books. I say 1 year max

Well I don't agree with this statement at all and I see no reason for any characters in the story to become any specific age unless his story dictates that. The author has to have complete freedom to be able to tell his or her own story or the entire process is a waste of their valuable time. Its their story so they get to create every single thing about it. Its the readers choice to read it or not, and if they tell a poor story they will get poor reviews from their readers/fans anyway thats the way it works.

If that were the case, I think that would be the clincher for me and I'd have to exile myself from the board.

"Nerd Stack is one of my favorite characters. I find his onner appealing."

I really did like Ned as well and when he was beheaded I found that to be one of the reasons this story stuck to me and made me want to read more. Here was an author who was not afraid to kill off a character that he well knew many readers would adore.

I guess you did not notice that my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I made that statement...of course the writer should have complete freedom to do what he wants. And I did not say that they should become any specific age..it is my OPINION that we are going to watch some of the characters grow into adulthood and I WOULD LIKE to see Arya become a young woman.
