Many fans of *A Song of Ice and Fire* worry about George R.R.Martin's ability to finish the series because of the slow releases and his age. Are there examples of audience reactions to other episodic creative works that mirror these worries or do accounts reveal a different sense of fan expectation?
I do believe that is phrased a bit to much to our times. You might have better results in asking about unfinished series, their reaction or how writers and their community influenced each other.
