Yes, it's like a lava lamp.
that happened? What was the fallout?

I'd make a nerd joke and call them "the unspoilered", but nobody would pay for an army of TVIV posters so...

What do you think GRRM feels on an average day? Great joy at all his wealth and fame? Crippling fear that he cannot write anymore? Glazed sugar coma?

I like the theory that he's stuck writing himself up a lot of blind alleyways. As a writer he seems to have a pretty general idea of where the plot is headed, but on a page-to-page level he writes from a perspective of "what would it make sense for this character for these motivations to do/attempt". Which is great for writing compelling characters and complex plotlines (because everyone naturally starts bumping heads with each other following their own objectives) but becomes geometrically more difficult to write the more characters and objectives you add. ASoIaF is now a huge world, with thousands of characters. A close page-by-page analysis like that done by the huis clos guy suggests that it's not quite all smoke and mirrors, he really tries to include all the little wheels turning against each other. So now when he starts writing a chapter and seeing where it takes him he might get all the way through it, discover it doesn't make sense from someone else's perspective, scrap it and start again. Over and over and over. This is assuming of course that he still is enjoying writing for the sake of writing. I suspect from the volume and detail of the work so far he really does enjoy getting lost inventing his fantasy armoured barbiedolls and making them kiss, so I lean heavily on him getting stuck in the process rather than abandoning it. Having said that, him having gotten completely sick of the project and given up is also pretty likely.

George RR Martin wakes up at 6 AM every day and spends the next 14 hours rewriting chapters over and over. The book was finished years ago, but it wasn't good enough. It's never good enough. It has to be perfect.

syscall girl posted:Write Littlefinger as Pierce Pratchett from L.A. Confidential. I thought about how Pratchett "cut his girls" to look like famous celebrities. And then for some reason that, plus my chapter assignment (if I remember right, and I haven't checked in with the google group to find the chapter summaries so) being a gay guy gets turned straight for some reason. This is what I came up with: INT -MUNK'S MEADHALL- NIGHT GAIRE and JORGE are enjoying a platter of sandwiches and cups of mead. JORGE-So I'm with Krager and he just has to pop in to Newfinger's to borrow a grimoire. We must have caught him by surprise because he had one of his, uh, workers up on a table, unconscious. I believe she's the one they call Shelty. And I can't believe this is happening but he's cutting her face off. GAIRE-Her face off? J-Face/off! G-What'd he do with the face!? J-I don't remember but she was easily the ugliest whore I've ever seen, ugliest one in his stable by far so I can't think of what he'd want it for. G-Why do they call it a stable? I mean it's not like they're horses. Frankly, the sexual aspect of it, combined with the horses is a little off-putting. Reminds me of the Mad Queen. *shudders* J-That never happened, it's an old fishwive's tale. Not physically possible, not even remotely. To try a thing like that you'd have to be-- G-Mad? J-*shudders* Like the Lolland Tunnel. G-*sips drink* So back to Newfinger's place, what did it look like, you know, under there. J-Not a whole lot worse. But here's where it starts getting weird. G-Starts. ~sarcastically~ J-Newfinger, well you know, he's a big man. G-A fat fat fat man. J-He's got some girth. And so Newfinger, he waddles off to the corner of the chamber and squats like he's going to poo poo. Hikes up his robe and starts grunting and trembling and sweating. G-*rolls eyes* J-Gaire, it's like he's burning up with something and shivering at the same time, his belly was heaving and gyrating hypnotically. It was amazing. And all of a sudden, out of his arse comes this blinding black light. G-Black light!? J-Black light, Gaire. Shining out in all directions like a dark star. G-Kind of the way I pictured Newfinger's arsehole actully. J-May I continue? G-*sips drink* J-So out of this blinding darkness comes a ball of blackness that falls from his arse onto the floor. Makes kind of a splot noise. Or maybe a splut. And this blackness all of a sudden is groing legs and arms, Gaire! G-*stares* J-And now it's walking along the floor and it's headed back towards the table with the girl, and Lord Krager and me. I was terrified, and Krager was trembling like he does but moreso. G-Jorge I'm beginning to have some doubts about this, but please continue. J-And he climbs up one of the table legs, walks right up and sits on the girl's face. G-You mean where her face... used to be. That seems very unsanitary. J-And this is where it gets even weirder. There's another flash of black light, fills the room, all you can see is black at this point. And as it subsides the little poo poo man is gone, Gaire. G-Gone, where? J-The little man is gone and Shelty's face is back on! But not like it was, oh ho ho noo. She is gorgeous Gaire. Drop dead most stunningly beautiful face I've ever seen. G-Interesting. J-And this is where it gets... well you know how Krager and Newfinger are a uh, a uh... G-Incredibly gay for each other? J-Well I wasn't going to say it like that but. Krager all of a sudden is struck by the notion that that was his baby, and he's horrified by it, repulsed by what he put in Newfinger. Gaire, I think he may have switched teams from seeing that. G-No. J-I know. G-The switch, no one's ever successfully performed the switch. Never been done. Can't be done. J-I know, but this happened. And this Gaire, this is where it gets... G-Jorge. *twirls finger* J-I think now that he's gone to the other side, Krager is smitten with Shelty. G-I definitely smell some smit in here.

Even if he can match the five years it took to write Dance, HBO is either going to have to get a draft of Winds before it is published or start writing their own material in 2016.

HBO has pretty much just used the books for reference material and just done their own thing since the beginning though. I started reading the books after season 3, and about half of A Clash of Kings was like reading an entirely new story.

That's because HBO can't possibly fit all the minor details of houses and armies and smallfolk that truly flesh out the world, give a sense of scale and weight to the politics, and broaden the scope beyond a few lovingly crafted sets. They do their own thing because there's literally no other choice.

Also in the most Littlefinger thing I think I've done I was messaging a chick tonight about games and books and she started flirting and telling me she really likes being ordered around. So I said go suck three dicks this weekend. She said okay, what should I wear. I felt like twirling my pedostache and speaking with a faux-irish accent. (yes I know it was probably a dude, okay)

Aurain posted:Tell her that Bobert Baratheon gets his fat arse out in the Full Monty it devolved into a discussion about downton abbey, and how people aren't familiar enough with the surrounding history and won't get lots of jokes they make. ( insert examples that I don't remember ). We then got into an argument about the timeline, and how the brownshirts will get brought into the new season by uh kidnapping the journalist who moves to germany to marry bignose girl who likes older men. I guess I'm basically like my mom - I cant remember those fuckers names any better than she can remember GOT's. Anyway, I didn't realize Hitler was active so early politically - I always think of him in 1933 with the takeover of the govt. by 1922 ( this last downtown season ) poo poo is already going down, and by 1923 ( next season ) we have the Beer Hall Putsch. a name I had to look up on wikipedia, and was please to know stuck in my brain from high school history class somehow. My mom also really likes harry potter. she used to have the most amazing theories about where the series was going. They had a deranged, 9-11 conspiracy vibe to them. She also somehow called that dumbledore was gay. so who knows, sometimes she nails that poo poo.

You just described my own mother, who was absolutely convinced whatsherface and her boyfriend were going to get mixed up in the early Nazi movement. I had to hold my tongue because (Downton Abbey spoilers for anyone here who cares) Gregson (The journalist) goes to Germany and just disappears- it's implied that he's been murdered by Brownshirts.

I was just trying to look up A Game of Bones to show a friend and saw the latest review for it. "There is nothing good about this book; it's amazing, but there's nothing good. I don't feel like writing a giant review for what was a porn parody of Game of Thrones; needless to say, there's some weirdly well written parts, some downright embarrassing jokes, and I finally got a use for the highlight function in my kindle, so I will always have access to some of the most gross, awful, hilariously written pieces of smut I've ever seen in my life." I feel like there is no better compliment for those who wrote it. Well done.
