How Can The Winds of Winter fit into The Winds of Winter? @AdmiralKird

AdmiralKird The Winds of Winter: Targeted for a 1,500 manuscript page book - but is 1,500 enough? How can TWOW fit into such a book? Are there significant problems in making that a reality? Is it possible? What would it take? Find it all inside.

Special thanks to a few people:

Bookshelfstud for pointing out in a MaesterMonthly video about the "GRRM killed the parents" thing.

BryndenBFish for morale support and attempts at helping, also The Ultimate TWOW Resource: warsandpoliticsoficeandfire.wordpress.com/2016/07/12/the-ulimate-winds-of-winter-resource

Maps used were from The Lands of Ice and Fire & A World of Ice and Fire App, which you can find more about and where to buy it on GRRM's Website: http://www.georgerrmartin.com/grrm_book/george-r-r-martins-a-world-of-ice-and-fire-mobile-app

TWOW Cover is Fan Art done by /u/FeroxDeoVacuusVinco about Six Years ago. Since then almost everyone (even GRRM) has used it as a placeholder cover. Major props to Ferox. reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/q1ukk/my_attempt_at_making_the_winds_of_winter_book

I Can Tell You When Winds of Winter is Coming

AdmiralKird 2024-08-04 | The Winds of Winter: Over 13 years ago, George RR Martin began work on this epic novel, and even after the conclusion of Game of Thrones, he is still struggling to complete it. Everyone wants to know when the book is coming out. But no one has had a good prediction – UNTIL NOW. Join me as we go on an adventure to investigate, trace historical trends, uncover new secrets, and use statistical mathematics to build an advanced, never-before-seen Computational Simulation Calculator to answer that age old question: When is The Winds of Winter going to release?

A Very Special Thanks to the following, who made this video possible:

Tim Sexton of @TimSextonPinball who allowed me the use of his epic pinball video instructing the art of “nudging.” See @TimSextonPinball ‘s full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=dRUX3EgsjXs

The Mods and Fellow Former Mods of r/ASOIAF – especially @BrnydenBfish for his continually useful TWOW Resource & @JoeMagician for helping me out with various questions.

Stock Media provided by PorteousMedia / Pond5 for the music during the big reveal segment.

And of course, Laura, who rolled her eyes and shook her head at every bad exacerbated joke in this video as she helped me proof it.

Did George RR Martin & HBO delay The Winds of Winter? NO! (Parody)

AdmiralKird 2019-04-05 | There are many theories in the A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones community but one is by far the worst. Did HBO cut a secret deal with George RR Martin to intentionally delay The Winds of Winter? In such a world, how bizarre would things get? This is that parodic story.

SPECIAL THANKS / ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

-Mike K, Mark D for the thunder/storm audio at the end over on sound bible.com & telezon and swordofkings128 for their horsegalloping and splash sounds on free sound.com
-Isobel, Jen, Eadon, Walda, and Guildy for previewing/feedback.
-Sanrixian for getting me to composite the last scene properly, without which would have taken a lot more time to do and would not have looked as nice.
-Adam Whitehead for keeping track of estimated ASOIAF sales figures from 2014 (some of the numbers are extrapolated from between various sale report dates)
-Sheet Music Singer for the sheet music for "It's a Long Long Way to Tipperary." youtu.be/y2bPUCOGDjw
-Everyone who had been waiting many months for this mad nonsense.

APOLOGIES TO:

Richard Plepler, George RR Martin, Anne Groell, and Jane Johnson - for my poor imitations and Plepler having to be uncharacteristically dumb in the parody.

The Lost POV of House Tyrell

AdmiralKird 2018-12-19 | A Song of Ice & Fire features many Houses and POVs, yet one remains mysteriously absent... but... was it always this way? Join me on a journey as we travel deep, DEEP into the Five Year Gap, in an archaeological exploration for the hidden LOST POV OF HOUSE TYRELL.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Special thanks to Elio and Linda for maintaining the So Spake Martin archive, as well as the old ASOIAF Yuku, without which, portions of the fandom would be lost to time forever.

Maps used were from "The Lands of Ice and Fire" available on amazon, bookstores, or The World of Ice and Fire App, which you can find on Google Play and itunes. It's like five bucks, and well worth it for the beautiful illustrations of Jonathan Roberts.

/u/mrdziuban for making A Search of Ice and Fire asearchoficeandfire.com - It's a great tool for exploring the books.

/u/hollowaydivision for developing the So Spake Martin Search Engine - cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=006888510641072775866:vm4n1jrzsdy

Lady Voldything (SerGeroldDayne on tumblr) who granted me permission to use their image of Darkstar, however I ended up not having a place to use it, but check it out, because I love this image of Darkstar: deviantart.com/lady-voldything/art/DARKSTAR-GONNA-DARKSTAR-292976083

And Special Thanks to everyone for subscribing and liking from the previous video, I never expected it to receive such fanfare.

APOLOGIES TO:

-The wonderful municipal division of Sherman Oaks and the great people of California.
-The entire population of Great Britain for, ahem, “taking the micky.” It's okay, I will always love you.
-Germans everywhere for a really bad accent that's not attempting to imitate any specific dialect.
-Bryan Cogman who got his laptop back from the Santa Fe airport really quickly, don't worry about it. We all make silly mistakes.
-George RR Martin, for the voice which… I'm not trying to accurately imitate at all.
