Fact check: Fans frustrated with George RR Martins lack of progress on A Song of Ice and Fire should remember that very famous sexual predator who likes to abuse nannies told you specifically that Martin is not your bitch.

1. Summary of the results

The original statement conflates two separate issues: George R.R. Martin's writing pace and an unsubstantiated allegation about Neil Gaiman. The quote "George R.R. Martin is not your bitch" was indeed made by Neil Gaiman in 2009 and repeated at Comic-Con in 2013 ^[1]. The quote was specifically made in response to a fan named Gareth who expressed frustration about Martin's writing pace ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original context of Gaiman's statement was much more nuanced and professional than the inflammatory version presented. Gaiman's actual argument was about the nature of creative work and artistic freedom - specifically that authors have lives, face personal challenges, and cannot be contractually obligated to produce work on a specific timeline ^[2]. Martin's writing delays are indeed real, stemming from multiple professional commitments and writing challenges ^[3].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The statement contains several problematic elements:

• It deliberately mischaracterizes Gaiman's professional commentary by attempting to discredit it through unrelated and unsupported allegations
• It omits crucial context about the original quote's meaning and intent ^[2]
• It appears designed to inflame rather than inform, mixing legitimate fan frustration about Martin's writing delays ^[3] with inflammatory personal attacks

The original statement appears to be an attempt to delegitimize a legitimate discussion about artistic freedom and creative processes by introducing unrelated and unsupported personal allegations. This serves neither the interests of fans waiting for Martin's work nor contributes meaningfully to discussions about authors' obligations to their readers.
