George R.R. Martin's publisher, Jane Johnson of HarperCollins, told the Guardian that A Song of Ice and Fire fans will have to wait at least another year for The Man Who Is Not Your Bitch to finish The Winds of Winter, the highly anticipated sixth book in the series. Quelle surprise!

If you think you know the ending of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, there's a chance you're right. GRRM told the Telegraph that he's already decided how his wildly popular fantasy series will wrap up, and "one or two" fans have figured it out.

There are two competing schools of thought when it comes to Game of Thrones spoilers. One holds that anything that hasn't appeared on HBO is a spoiler that should be kept tightly under wraps. The other argues the books have been available for years, and viewers who don't want to be surprised by unaired plot details…

George R.R. Martin, the 65-year-old author of A Song of Ice and Fire, isn't exactly the fastest writer, much to the chagrin of fans who've gotten used to waiting years for their next fix. And then there's the nightmare scenario: What if GRRM dies before he completes the seventh book?

Not every scene from George R.R. Martin's immense A Song of Ice and Fire series can be filmed for Game of Thrones. Something has to be cut, even if it's something Martin himself really likes.

Walder Frey is the one Game of Thrones character who might be more hatable than Joffrey, but the actor who plays him is a good sport with a lovely sense of humor. David Bradley posed with a fan at last year's London Film and Comic Con holding this very topical instruction manual.

George R.R. Martin, the man the world is counting on to bring Game of Thrones to a satisfying conclusion where Tyrion and Daenerys rule Westeros side-by-side (with Ser Pounce the cat as Hand), still writes on a DOS machine with Wordstar 4.0 (released in 1985!).
