Book 4 was released in 2005, utterly doing away with the "every two years" timetable that Martin had kept to beforehand, with an afterword promising that the next book would be released "next year". Put bluntly, that didn't happen. Fans were kept waiting until ''2011'' for Book 5, by which time the TV adaptation ''Series/GameOfThrones'' had already begun. Martin was adamant that his books would stay ahead of the series, though, and promised his fans that he would do his utmost to get Books 6 and 7 out the door before their plots were revealed onscreen instead of on-page. In 2016 the show finally overtook the books, with fans still waiting for Book 6. The show concluded in 2019, with book 6 still lacking any information on it's release.

** In his second autobiography, StephenFry recounts an occasion when Adams - a close friend of Fry - was visited by his agent because a project was long since overdue. When asked how the book was coming, Adams apparently replied with "Excellent! I've just written the first sentence!" before condemning that one sentence to the mercies of the Delete key. Adams was also, according to Fry, an appalling procrastinator, who could spend hours at a time adjusting inconsequential settings on his computer instead of writing.

* Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials books tend to eventually emerge rather a long time after they're announced. The Subtle Knife took two years to emerge after Northern Lights, and then The Amber Spyglass took almost four. He mentioned his intention to write a companion book to the trilogy called The Book Of Dust shortly after the publication of The Amber Spyglass in 2000. Seventeen years later the publication date - of the first part of what will now be a trilogy - was finally announced for later in the year. However, he did publish three small supplimentary pieces in the interim to keep us just about going: Lyra's Oxford, Once Upon A Time In The North and The Collectors.

* The main reason for the backlash against Creator/GeorgeRRMartin. The first three books of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' were released in 1996, 1998 and 2000. The announced release date for the fourth book was pushed back several times, as the book grew longer, until Martin had no choice but to split it into two books. Book 4 was released in 2005, utterly doing away with the "every two years" that Martin had kept to beforehand, with an afterword promising that the next book would be released "next year". Put bluntly, that didn't happen. Fans were kept waiting until ''2011'' for Book 5, by which time the TV adaptation ''GameOfThrones'' had already begun. Martin was adamant that his books would stay ahead of the series, though, and promised his fans that he would do his utmost to get Books 6 and 7 out the door before their plots were revealed onscreen instead of onpage. In 2016 the show overtook the books, with fans still waiting for Book 6 ... and in likelihood then being faced with another long wait when it ''does'' eventually see the light of day before Book 7 is released.

* Creator/TerryPratchett is accused of this, but it's not really happening. His books are coming out on schedule; it's just that the schedule isn't what fans think it is. Fans tend to take any reference to a title he's toying with as being "the next book", only for the next book to turn out to be something completely different. This means ''Raising Taxes'' and ''Scouting For Trolls'' have been subject to "schedule slip", while he continues to produce at least one book a year. Producing books at this rate (and even more so in the middle of Pratchett's career, when 3 books was a normal year) means that at any given time, the book he's in the process of writing is unlikely to be the next one that actually appears in stores -- that would have been written some time ago.
