IIRC he's on record saying that he won't name anyone and has every intention of finishing it during his lifetime. It's also kind of a fucked up thing to ask as an interviewer, so I doubt he'll say anything further until he's literally on his deathbed.

I actually think Stephen King could probably pull it off. he wrote a dark fantasy stand alone novel once called The Eyes of the Dragon that is very good. but not well known cause it's never been made into a tv show or movie

They should just get an AI to read the existing SoIaF books and generate the last ones algorithmically.

When you don't know any fantasy writers other than the one who wrote Harry fucking Potter.

If they want to make $$$ they'll let Rowling finish it, but she's going to see it as beneath her, I mean her books sold some 600 million copies compared to SoIaF with it's paltry 100 million.

I like J.K. Rowling and thought Harry Potters ending was satisfying but yeah she clearly is not the write (e: *right lol) type of writer for ASoIaF. Neither is Brandon Sanderson.

this would be the ideal situation

have you watched his "Season 8 Fixed" series? it's fucking brilliant so far


Yup, I get giddy with excitement whenever a new one drops lol. Only one more to go, right?

I wonder what his plans are after that for videos, until the next book comes out.

You have no fucking clue what they are talking about. No one in their right mind would ask Rowling to finish ASOIAF. How can someone's mind work so basically that he thinks "oh she's the most famous fantasy writer I know, of course she would be asked to finish other fantasy. That already being inane, contemporary fantasy (like HP) is extremely different from both epic fantasy and has none of the political and power themes ASOIAF has. Rowling would fail miserably at it. And I really like Harry Potter.

I honestly can't wait until she finally introduces a decent magic system into the series, she also doesn't do the whole kill a character and lol, magic, they're back, such a cliche in fantasy trope. When she kills characters, it matters.

You mean when she killed Dumbledore and he doesn't appear again? Wait, no, he does. You mean Sirius... no, wait, he appears again too. Harry's parents? Wait, no. They pop up again. Twice. Lupin I guess... no, wait, he appears again as well.

Huh, did not know any of that, I've never read any of her books or watched any of the movies, they're too immature and more of a YA novels kind of thing.
