And i belive that Red has hit on the core issue here ...

I would rather an artist // author // musician // whatever .. take his/her time on something and make it special, long-lasting, and worthwhile.

Rather than try to bulk-manufacture it in the interest of Time and Fans sacrificing the original interest of Quality and Longevity.

GRRM, i'm sure is aware of this ...

can you imagine that now after 4 books .. the rest of the ASOFAI story flopped... the Valyrian Doom would seem like a walk along the beach compared to the Global outcry.
