Appalling how some folks just can't help but spoil things for TV series viewers. Disgusting.

Man ruins Game of Thrones with series of novels full of spoilers
The entertainment industry was today warning fans of the popular HBO series Game Of Thrones to be avoid ‘at all costs’ a series of books by a rogue enthusiast named George R.R. Martin, who has written five whole volumes consisting solely of spoilers for the popular television show.
“This man is dangerous and wants to ruin everyone’s enjoyment of a much-loved fantasy drama.” said executive producer D. B. Weiss. “It’s a sad symptom of today’s ‘bin…

Hilarious.
I know nothing of Game of Thrones, but while perusing the comments the words "finish the series" popped up a lot. Perhaps Rowling can finish it; I hear that she wrote spoilers for some movies.
I’m still annoyed JRR Tolkein stole Star Wars.
@LH – Yeah, and Joseph Campbell stole _all_ those guys’ stuff!
What a bastard! I remember trying to watch "The Lord of the Rings" and being so upset because some guy named Tolkien did the same damned thing! And all these superhero movies lately? Every stupid one of them has some hack writer trying to sell you a comic book version of it. There oughta be a law!
+Solonor Rasreth That Tolkien is such a fanboi. Not only fanfic about Jackson's films (and getting all sorts of stuff wrong and getting rid of most of the women and the funny dwarf stuff and changing the end and stuff) but he makes up alphabets and secret languages and calendars and all sorts of history/backstory like he's running a D&D game or something. And then he tries to write this "Silmarilion" thing so that people think he can do something "original" and not so derivative. Yeesh.
Given how long Martin takes to NOT write anything new, I think anything he has made is now well beyond the point at which a spoiler warning is required.
Seriously. Storm of Swords was 12 years ago, people.
