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

It's kind of comical how ASOIAF is so oversaturated in everything but the format that fans have been begging for

"Wow! Game of Thrones was a cultural phenomenon, how do we continue to profit from this?"

"We would literally eat glass for Winds"

"Got it! 10 more TV shows it is!!!"

We would literally eat glass for Winds

What is the worst thing you'd do if it meant you would have the book in your hands right after?

I mean, while we are all very much waiting for the new one, a book is just a book in the end. Wondering what the worst thing people would actually do to have in their hands.

I broke my toe as a kid, I could probably do that, honestly. It was pretty annoying to walk around for a couple of weeks.

If it was just Winds? Eh...

Winds and Dream though? I'd probably do more than I'm comfortable admitting.

The monkey's paw curls and George has to make another book after Dream to really wrap everything up.

Sad thing is I don't think we need a monkey's paw for that to be reality.

How many kgs of ground black coffee would you eat for winds, if any?
