Martin kept fans on hold promising two books that he never delivered. I don't have too much JohnSJ Jul 2023 #2

It's Martin's series. It isn't owned by the fans. highplainsdem Jul 2023 #4

Let him sue. Whatever chapGPT produced it is still Marin's work because it is derived from JohnSJ Jul 2023 #6

Is he upset by it? I would imagine the people most upset are those who write fan finction XorXor Jul 2023 #50

Wow. So calling him "ol' Georgie boy" was meant to be respectful, along with highplainsdem Jul 2023 #24

Sorry, I'm not nearly as worked up about all this as you seem to be. BlackSkimmer Jul 2023 #26

Again, is there any evidence of an intent to monetize? brooklynite Jul 2023 #39

People who create fan fiction can be sued even if they aren't making money highplainsdem Jul 2023 #41

Martin hasn't apparently chosen to sue at this point... brooklynite Jul 2023 #71

It's just fan fiction, only that the fan is a bot Polybius Jul 2023 #28

Martin is too lazy to finish the books so this will probably be the closest to an actual ending. BannonsLiver Jul 2023 #29
