Considering Sanderson has been adding gay/trans characters into his fantasy stories, I’d say he doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to write with the toughness that GOT requires.
I looked at Ice and Fire like history. It starts where you start reading and stops when you stop. There is no closure with history. It would be cool if Martin intended that to happen.
The series will never be completed and methinks that is a good thing. Mr. Martin shows zero interest in writing a conclusion to his saga and probably has no idea how to make it satisfying for the readers. It is better to just die off and allow us former fans of the story to come up with our own ending.
I think we all know that I'm the best candidate.
And I'm the last person on the planet who would be asked to do it.
I would buy your version of this.
Just do it and change all the names! Call it game of bones or something.
I’ll buy it.
He's already got too much to do don't give him more projects.

Seems like he knows it.
No, we don't want Game of Thrones to be YA anyway, get Joe Abercrombie.
Doubt Abercrombie would do it.
Just have the bubonic plague sweep through and wipe out 50% of the perspective characters. Problem solved!
I'll go further and say that any ending leaving any viewpoint characters alive would be out of character for the series...
If he wanted to finish the trilogy, he could. It's been so long that fans might as well forget about it.
