I've removed "According to Elio, barely 3,000 words of this material ultimately appeared in The World of Ice and Fire" for a few reasons:

  1. In the linked video, Elio does not mention any word count for the information that has been used in The World of Ice & Fire
  2. The page already makes it clear that the text for Fire and Blood was originally written for The World of Ice & Fire
  3. The chapter in The World of Ice & Fire(~2700 words) is a heavily summarized version from which large chucks are left out. Not simply a part of the original text, which is what was being suggested.

Seems good as it is now. --Rhaenys Targaryen (talk) 18:36, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

I had cited wordcounts in an older version, not going by that podcast, but by the youtube video in which Elio and Linda discuss the prequels.

Nonetheless, even I consider it a moot point by now...I was busy counting up "Heirs of the Dragon has 17,000 words of which 13,000 were released" (or whatever)...when I thought Fire and Blood wouldn't be out for another 5 to 10 years. But after the announcement that he decided to just release what he already has, by around Christmas 2018? We'll know soon enough.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 23:25, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
