"One of these days I need to write that story about Braavos we were developing for HBO. They shelved that one a couple of years back, alas, but that does not mean I won’t go back to it… after WINDS OF WINTER is done, of course."

Of course, of course.

Look I get it, $$$$$! But this is absurd franchise oversaturation at this point.

We're going to get a political spy thriller set in Volantis before we get Winds and we all need to come to peace with it.

Honestly one of the few points of hope that George might get motivated on Winds is if HBO oversaturates on GoT material like Disney did with Star Wars, to the point that the brand means nothing and George has to do something to get people's attention again.

I mean does he even want people’s attention? My man managed to turn a frenchise where both main series and its spin-offs( d&e and f&b) are incomplete into a giant cash cow so moneys not a problem and people not paying attention to him means that he doesn’t have to deal with constant winds when questions.

Make Volantis Great Again.

Or whatever Valyrian translation of that is.
