Martin, author of "You of Power": No matter how noisy fans are, they will not change the ending of the novel
When asked about fans 'strong reaction to the final season, Martin lamented: "The Internet has had an unprecedented impact on all of this." Martin added that it was a bit strange to watch the recent season eight finale of "Game of Thrones" given that he was still working on different versions.

Although the final season finale of "Game of Thrones" has dissatisfied many fans, who are hoping that George R.R. Martin can give the novel a reasonable ending, he recently said that such feedback from fans, whether positive or negative, will not change any of his existing ideas for the last two "Song of Ice and Fire" novels.
When asked about fans 'strong reaction to the final season, Martin lamented: "The Internet has had an unprecedented impact on all of this."
"Like Snow's parents, the book contains some early hints about his parents, but only 1% of readers cracked it. Before the Internet, it was no big deal-for 99 out of 100 readers, when Snow's parents were exposed, they would say,'Oh, this is a big reversal!'"
"But in the Internet age, even if only 1 in 100 people could come up with the answer, 1 will publish it online, and the other 99 will read it and say,'Oh, that makes sense,' and the turn you set won't work. So in a new book that's coming out, you'll think 'Oh, my God, I messed up, I have to come up with something new,' but it's actually wrong. Because you've been planning a specific ending, if you suddenly change direction just because someone discovered it or didn't like it, your entire structure will be disrupted."
"So no! I don't read fan sites. I want to write the book I have always wanted to write. When it comes out, they can like it or not."

Martin added that it was a bit strange to watch the recent season eight finale of "Game of Thrones" given that he was still working on different versions. He said: "The past three years have made me feel a little strange and awkward because the drama version progresses much faster than the book. A few years ago I told two producers something, and some of them were adopted, but they were different. When I wrote the sixth volume,"Cold Wind of Winter", I had some fixed ideas about the development of the story in my mind. Just like two parallel reality stories co-exist, I have to continue to work hard to complete the story as soon as possible."

When asked if his pressure was "greater" or "less" after the HBO series ended, Martin admitted that his pressure had peaked a few years ago.
"I have been under tremendous pressure for many years. The most stressful time was a few years ago, when I was desperately trying to stay ahead. At one time, when the show was aired in April, my editors said if I could finish the book by December, they would kick it out. But I obviously can't finish it before then. Because I not only want to get it done, I want to do it as well as possible. There has been pressure since then, but it's not like it was then, it's not like 'racing' anymore."
In fact, Martin had previously expressed his views on the ending of the drama that fans bombarded him. He said: "The Internet is toxic. It has changed the culture and fan base of ancient fan magazines. Nowadays, comic book fans and science fiction fans have long since stopped thinking about the past. That's it. In the past, there were discord and quarrels among fan groups, but it was not as crazy as you see on the Internet today."
