Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...

It's not looking good, folks...

George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

Is this community ok with confusing fantasy and science fiction? I thought it was a snob librarian's thing.
I know some stories mix both, but I don't think ASOIAF has anything to do with sf.

snob librarian’s thing

And I couldn't figure out why a certain pirate streaming platform does this. I choose scifi category, and it's filled with fantasy and anime.... Your comment might be a clue as to who's behind the platform. A ring of radical outlaw librarians!

Sci-fi and fantasy are traditionally considered a lower form of fiction/literature which is why the sometimes get lumped together.
