At Worldcon 2025, a fan publicly confronted George R.R. Martin with this very question, sparking heated debate across the fandom. In this livestream, we break down the confrontation, GRRM’s response, and what it all means for the future of A Song of Ice and Fire.

What we’ll cover:
– What happened at Worldcon and why it blew up online
