  Well there's that, but when it comes to George RR Martin, I want him to finish what he started before indulging in all the other projects. Maybe after he passes, the family will invite Brendon Sanderson to finish A Song of Ice and Fire. Sanderson did a great job of finishing off Wheel of Time after Jordan passed. Not that I am wishing death upon Martin.

  tvm - mine seldom do, even though sometimes objectively I think they were as good as others in the top 10. Hence I don't pay that much attention to the results. Just happy for friends who get lucky and make top 10 or top 3

  tvm. Haven't read the book (won't read on principle until Song of Ice and Fire is finished), so no idea how authetic the scene from a fighting perspective.

  I haven't read it so it looks good to me, lol. I do understand not wanting to take on a new series until you finish ones you've started

  Since I don't think Martin wants to finish it, maybe they might one day invite him to do it anyways before anyone passes

  tvm - I just thought there were too many things in 3 that didn't look quite right

  Cool, I voted for this. I made a winged beast too, but it didn't do so well...

• @beastxyz · Aug 27, 2026

  Everything was well executed. Could not understand why it didn't crack top 10.
