HBO's A Song of Ice and Fire
Cornelius:
Of course, the silent solution, if he's tired of it, and the publisher insists, is to hire a ghost writer to take what's there, and finish it. Not very attractive from an author's point of view, but it might pass without much notice with the fans.
Which might still happen posthumously, as well; it all depends on what rights the publisher has secured, really.

Isn't that confirmed? Like GRRM actually said the show took a different turn somewhere in season 3 and strayed from what he planned for the books?
Cornelius:
The show did take a different direction. He did share the ending, and some of the key moments he had planned with the Showrunners, though, so it's not clear how far they are starting with this ending.
To come to this ending, there's a lot of development yet to take place in the books, though. (click to show/hide)Bolton did not marry the real Sansa, for instance, so she'd have to come back to the north some other way. Jon is still dead, but may be resurrected early in the next book. It's quite possible that he comes to the same ending, if ever he finishes the books, but that it will be fleshed out, and less abrupt.
TheEvilDog:
Okay, I freely admit that I never cared for the show or the books, but I had a quick look at the cliff notes and have a couple of questions.
(click to show/hide)There's now a heartbroken and angry dragon flying around. Is no one worried about that? Seriously, I'd be worried about that!
And Dany conquered much of another continent, so what's going to happen when word gets back that she's dead? I mean, I would imagine that any thoughts of rebellion would have been kept in check by fear of reprisals from Dany and her dragons and given how she's dead along with two thirds of her dragons, how long before the old rulers try to retake what was theirs? Or is it a case that because its not the North or the Six Kingdoms, no one cares anymore?
Cornelius:
Some part of the answer:
(click to show/hide)Not long. Not long at all. She didn't even need to leave the continent: moving on to the next city was enough.
Bran was going to look for Drogon, so I suppose something will be done about that.
In all fairness, I've read the books, but have seen the show only irregularly.
