George R.R. Martin asks fans to please stop pestering him about Game Of Thrones
George R.R. Martin has a book to write, people (two, actually). So please stop emailing him asking who it is squirming underneath that white cloth in Qyburn’s chambers. The pressure to keep the TV version of Game Of Thrones from lapping his A Song Of Ice And Fire saga has grown so great that Martin, usually quite fond of attending promotional events, has been forced to skip some upcoming promotional appearances. He even recused himself (or was excused) from contributing a script to the current fifth season of the show, which wraps up this Sunday. Ostensibly, this allows him to focus on writing The Winds Of Winter, editing anthologies, producing Game Of Thrones supplemental materials, and occasionally weighing in on those “holy shit” moments that seem to happen at least once per episode.
