Fans Have a Point — George R.R. Martin Should Let This Acclaimed Fantasy Author Finish 'Winds of Winter' Instead George R.R. Martin is taking forever to finish Winds of Winter, so why not hand it to fellow fantasy author Brandon Sanderson?

In the foreground is a road with a road sign next to it, saying "LGBTQ RIGHTS ENFORCED BY BATTLEMECH" Behind the sign are some large bushes. Oh, and also a big red battlemech standing behind the bushes with a rainbow insignia on its arm. That's probably an important detail, huh?
