re: #157 Big Beautiful Door

If he’s planning on six more books, what was a tv series based on his novels is going to become novels based on a tv series.

George had originally planned on a five-book series (what SF writers call a “trilogy”) but at the moment he intends the series to end with book 7. Whether that comes to fruition is another matter. George is at the “I don’t talk about it” stage of the writing process, even at the con bar. He’ll talk about other projects, like the Wild Cards shared-world anthology series he co-edits (recommended by the way although earlier stories are a bit dated) but not Game of Thrones.

It’s not likely the next GoT books will track the TV series exactly in the same way the series didn’t match the books word-for-word and scene-for-scene.
