If he actually had anything, he would have just leaked it.

Yep. I've never understood this game of "I've got all this juicy info I'm gonna release just you wait!"

Only George RR Martin can get away with that.

The Snowden's and the Mannings of the world don't go around announcing the fact they got info to leak before they leak it.

Did GRRM get away with it? I'm pretty sure each notablog lost a wave of support. It seems like people only even remembered him until the year after the show, but I'm not paying attention to social media other than here these days. Did he get a new wave of shit when promo-ing that new show?

I'm pretty sure Martin has fuck-all for the final books, and he's just spinning his fucking wheels and hoping that he snuffs it before he has to admit it.

Oh, I know he has fuck-all. He was mentally checked out from the series well before the tv show finished, but I was curious if there was more public pushback on him while he was doing the rounds for whatever the prequel was or if the original book readers just finally took their ball and went home.

Correct. This story seems specifically calculated to whip a specific group into a frenzy.
