Martin's writing pace has slowed noticeably in recent years. There was a lengthy gap between ''A Storm of Swords'' and ''A Feast for Crows,'' and he continued to push back the arrival date for ''A Dance With Dragons.'' The series had a severe case of [[Schedule Slip]]; Martin and/or over-eager vendors would post a publication date and then miss that date with little-to-no explanation. Repeat this a few times, during which time fellow [[Fantasy]] [[Doorstopper]] writer [[The Wheel of Time|Robert Jordan]] [[Author Existence Failure|passes away]], and the end result was a very worried fanbase. Confirmation of a release was finally made by George R.R. Martin himself, and ''A Dance With Dragons'' was released on July 12th, 2011 to spend exorbitant amounts of time on the NYT Best-seller list and mass critical acclaim.
 
The series has expanded into the "Dunk and Egg" series of [[Prequel]] short stories.
 
A [[Game of Thrones|TV adaptation]] isaired nowfor airingseveral years on HBO before concluding in 2019. Scripted by Dan Weiss and David Benioff, the show plans to do eight seasons, with ''A Storm of Swords'' comprising two seasons, the fifth and sixth seasons being a combination of ''A Feast For Crows'' and ''A Dance with Dragons'' but told chronologically rather than by splitting locations and characters as in the books, and all other seasons roughly corresponding to a single novel. It has received a very positive response, being renewed for a second season on the strength of the first episode's numbers alone.
 
A licensed video game, ''[[A Game of Thrones: Genesis]]'', has dramatized some of the stuff that's [[All There in the Manual]], covering the last thousand-or-so years of Westerosi history. It is to be joined by an [[wikipedia:Game of Thrones (video game)|upcoming video game]], also called ''Game of Thrones''. A browser-based online [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] called ''Game Of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms'' is also in the works.
 
A Table Top [[Role -Playing Game]] was licensed through [[Green Ronin]] and [http://greenronin.com/sifrp/ currently has three books released, a rulebook, a sourcebook, and a licensed adventure].
 
A cookbook, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120124172417/http://www.amazon.co.uk/Feast-Ice-Fire-Companion-ebook/dp/B006L7CG58 A Feast Of Ice And Fire]'' and a map folio ''[http://www.westeros.org/ASoWS/News/Entry/Announcing_The_Lands_of_Ice_and_Fire/ The Lands Of Ice and Fire]'' have been confirmed. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].
 
As the page for the novels is already considerable and ever growing, please enter the tropes found only in the live action series and video game on their own pages. The series' [[Game of Thrones/Recap|recap page]] currently covers the first book/season of the series/series, and incorporates bits from the books when appropriate.
 
For more information, see the [[A Song of Ice and Fire/Characters|character sheet]], GRRM's "[http://grrm.livejournal.com Not-a-blog]" and [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130822064227/http://winter-is-coming.net/ Winter Is Coming], a central nexus for news on the TV show.
 
Martin has released a sample chapter for ''The Winds of Winter'' [http://www.georgerrmartin.com/if-sample.html here]. It appears to take place before the last few chapters of ''A Dance with Dragons''.
