The Lord of Light is one god for one series.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.
Buffy ,'Him'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ha! I do not have GRMM in my closet. Yeah, I am fascinated by the passion of some people regarding GOT, but perhaps I would identify with it if I were a fan of the books.
What would I have done if JK Rowling hadn't finished HP series for some reason?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The recent Vanity Fair cover story on Game Of Thrones addressed the issue.
The showrunners have made it explicit that (a) it won't go past 7 (mayyyyybeee 8) seasons; and (b) Martin has given then the outline for every character's story and they will simply write out the series if he's late with the books. Mainly because their child actors will age out, and nobody wants Arya Mark 2.
eta: The actor who plans Bran is 14 now and getting HUGE. Which is particularly problematic for his character as Hodor has to lug him about.

I've read the same thing, and I have no earthly idea how it's going to be possible since they've already split book 3 into two seasons. It's not like the books are getting any shorter.
(Maybe they've already been told that book 7 has only 3 characters in it because everyone else is dead, and are planning to condense that into the 2-hour finale.)

I think they're going to cull the narrative and find throughlines for all the major characters. In short, I think they'll start deviating from the books to avoid the sprawl you get in books 4 and 5.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I expect we won't be going to Dorne.

Hey. New board.
Which I think is too bad. I am fascinated by dorne.

I'd be up for a Sand Snakes spinoff.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was bored by most of those chapters, but I expect I will be more invested during my re-read.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mmm, Sand Snakes are good times. I love Dorne.
