A Defence of Dragons, Part 1
The Wertzone —
Over on Suvudu, Shawn Speakman has presented a fairly lengthy essay on the ongoing wait for the fifth volume in the Song of Ice and Fire series. This wait has sparked a long-running and increasingly irate flame war between fans, 'antifans' and even exasperated people in the middle on numerous websites across the Internet. The article is an interesting piece which fairly accurately reflects many of the issues involved, although the author does miss out on a few factual points which could be of value. ...

... There has been a whole lot of discussion about George R.R. Martin’s delays in writing – my reaction, get over it people. There are far too many other good books out there to waste your time defending or attacking the speed of Martin’s writing. ...
Yet another "I'm sick and tired of so-called Martin 'fans' bitching and moaning"
OF Blog of the Fallen —
I originally wasn't going to post anything in regards to the recent spate of blog entries defending George R.R. Martin's delays in getting his fifth A Song of Ice and Fire book, A Dance with Dragons, published. But then today, I received one of those emails. You might know the type. The OC-type of enraged "fan" that in some cases is but a step or two away from being a deranged stalker.

And following additional posts by Adam, Aidan, and more (you can find links to all of those in the next post), the now "infamous" grrrm responded with a ...

... and genre Web sites following A Song of Ice and Fire, there are another 10 people out there reading and following the series - and I'll bet most of those proverbial 10 people are as eager as most of us for the next book - I can't imagine A Dance with Dragons not hittin #1 on the NYT Bestseller list. ...

George R.R. Martin is Not Your Bitch
Rob's Blog o' Stuff —
... Neil Gaiman posted a clear-headed and lengthy response to a reader's question about George R.R. Martin's next book in A Song of Ice and Fire. Neil might be a little biased since, you know, is in the same line of work as GRRM. Either way, it is an interesting piece. I'm sure this will ressurrect some of the just-gone dormant posts and discussions about writers and their delays. People are not machines. Writers and artists aren't machines. You're complaining about George ...
