You don't "own" them and get to force them to write faster, or whatever. And they don't owe you anything. Be glad the tv show will give us a complete story, whether or not it's the one he would have liked, becaues the chances are small he will complete all the books before he dies.

I recognize how this may be, but in my book, that's not how it should be. If I am a guy made by people being loyal to me, I am going to be loyal to them and make sure they get what they deserve. That was the point of my post. That I would never do that to my readers, no matter what it took on my part to avoid it.
Martin may have a ton of valid reasons, be supported by publishing realities I don't understand, ect, but in the end I just wouldn't have let it happen no matter what it took.
