George R.R. Martin, I've found a way you can finish Winds of Winter.
Edit: As expected, someone already had this idea: https://winteriscoming.net/2023/07/21/game-of-thrones-fan-used-ai-write-the-winds-of-winter-dream-of-spring/
Ugh. The only thing worse than nothing would be an AI-generated conclusion. A reminder of time between books:
I liked this series, and the TV show before David Benioff & D. B. Weiss got bored with it and permanently ruined it.
But the creator has no idea how to tie anything up, lied about how much was already completed a decade ago, refuses ghost-writing help from the publisher, and just doesn't appear interested in it any more. I'm not saying he owes us anything, and his books have already made him fabulously wealthy, but if he seriously committed to finishing the series tomorrow... I just don't know if I care any more.
I honestly think he's so afraid of not being able finish things in a satisfactory way, that he's moved on and is just pretending to still be working on it.

The end
There, concluded
Someone give this man a Nebula
The insane thing is that just when the story seemed to be converging into some kind of climax, with most of the major players seemingly moving towards coming together to face the threat of the White Walkers, suddenly he opened everything up again with whole new narratives and characters and everything spreading out again. I have no idea what he is thinking.
Scared of writing a bad ending with obvious twists like "and then be becomes all powerful and wins because he can see the future and has a good story that people like"
Something tells me that people are still going to be disappointed, whether he publishes it next week, or next decade. I'm already unimpressed as it is, so NBD where I'm concerned as I won't be wasting any more time with the TV series let alone the books.
The last time he publicly talked about GoT he said "I feel bad for the people who are still waiting for WoW."
I don't think he cares anymore.
"Rewrite this book about 15th-century Britain in the style of the English translations of the Witcher novels, but add more LiveJournal-style edgelording and triple the violent rapes"
I'm not sure you can triple the rapes of 15th-century Britain.
