The thing about Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire is that its not so much the fantasy elements that appeal to folk.
It's the story line, the political dealings, relationships and the odd technique of Martin's of killing off popular characters just as you've become committed to them.*
Yep..There's dragons and witches and zombies but they're secondary to the main political theme.
A bit like Star Wars, it will be a hard act to follow.
People will try, but any copies will find it difficult to match the same level of popularity as the groundbreaking originals.
(*and of course the sex and nudity in the TV show)
