There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I only really wrote the one Clegane PI, which was even immortalized with an audio reading by some goon. I had started a second story, but never finished it. I've always meant to go back...

If anyone ever feels like doing a radio play/drama like THE SHADOW or something with that lemme know. I could handle production but don't love voice acting.

Poor wording. I was laughing at the casuals who were saying that "oh of COURSE the fans must be entitled" and hypothesizing all sorts of weird demands that fans have been wanting from GRRM for years like bullet-pointed lists of his rough drafts or similar stupid poo poo, and had to defend my position. I did a decent job all told but without backup it really wasn't worth staying in that sandbox for long, still once the accusers started to move the goalposts or twist my words into something that conveniently validated their original assumptions I knew I had made my point.


Pretty much what I said. He may not owe the fans poo poo but on the exact same note they're free to call him out for being a piece of poo poo.

The whole "not your bitch" argument was garbage from the get-go. To even consider it semi valid you have to ignore the "meanwhile, back at the wall" postscript at the end of AFFC, where GRRM himself basically says: "I owe you the rest of this incomplete book, most of it's already written and will be out next year" and he hasn't even been able to deliver on that one almost a decade later

ahaha I just skimmed the tv thread, I hope this is real, all the characters should just randomly get in big melees with each other all the time:

Watchers on the Wall posted:

There have been rumors for several months now that Jaime’s storyline will diverge significantly from A Song of Ice and Fire for season 5. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Jerome Flynn filmed on Portstewart Strand, Northern Ireland for several days with characters in Dornish clothing, confirming the men would be headed for the southernmost region of Westeros.

More details of a major new scene are emerging now, according to Los Siete Reinos‘s sources in Spain. Los Siete Reinos reports that in this scene Jaime and Bronn arrive in Dorne to find Myrcella and Prince Trystane kissing. Myrcella is surprised to see her “uncle” Jaime, and Trystane offers his hand in greeting to Jaime, who offers him his left hand instead.

Heated words are then exchanged between Jaime and Trystane, and the younger man tries to draw his sword. Bronn knocks the prince unconscious. After this, the three Sand Snakes enter. A fight between the group ensues, until Areo Hotah shows up and orders everyone to put their weapons down.

This information is credible since there have been unconfirmed rumors of a Jaime/Snakes skirmish for a while now, and then a few days ago, a video of Nikolaj rehearsing a fight turned up.

Elman posted:

I think once he falls behind the show, we are going to see some of the best writing of GRRMs career. Sadly it will be him recording his self-implosion on his Live Journal. It will take a while - we will see a moratorium on discussing the HBO show. But he won't be able to ignore it forever. There will be the snide comment, the one-upsmanship ( "I've still got the REAL story" ). And eventually real anger. Blame and accusations of betrayal. The rushed release of a sub standard poorly edited book. Poor reviews. Then the Rage. Joking about actually burning his notes, and other passive agressive tricks. The turning of the tide against the GRRM. The final urine soaked poo poo-dick days in the hospital. And then his death. The joyous freeing of the hostages. The reflections of the survivors. and the inevitable rebirth as a new author is chosen to finish the Novelization of the HBO series.

Dark days ahead. Dark days shot through with the gleaming silver of retribution and righteousness.

Jaime and Bronn, buddy cops going to Dorne sounds fine, but a literal brawl involving sand snakes and areo hotah and trystane for some reason is pretty weird.

Hell yeah, here's the set story we all really wanted:

http://www.avclub.com/article/ser-pounce-was-quite-diva-game-thrones-set-apparen-211974

quote:

Ser Pounce was quite the diva on the Game Of Thrones set, apparently

Finally, some showbiz gossip worth repeating as Game Of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer reveals that Tommen’s pet cat Ser Pounce, far from the lovable True King Of Westerosi Hearts that he appeared to be on screen, was actually a huge pain in the rear end on set. Specifically, Dormer responded to a question about the royal feline during her Reddit AMA, where she said that the cat “was a bit of a diva that day, he didn’t want to stay on the bed, he was very difficult to work with.” Dormer did not elaborate, but the cat’s diva behavior presumably included eating catnip between takes, demanding treats before he would come out of his trailer, and being incapable of taking direction because he is a cat. This sheds new light on the elimination of Ser Pounce after just one appearance on the HBO program, which was previously attributed to the cruel and capricious nature of the Game Of Thrones universe but may have actually been a consequence of the feline actor’s lack of professionalism.
