3/5 it's A Game of Thrones, cartoon drawing person. And in defense of Brienne's chapters and all the "boring" parts of the books here is an article I thought was insightful: http://www.salon.com/2013/06/15/is_game_of_thrones_taking_its_cues_from_military_history_partner/

Brienne walks through all the poo poo while in other chapters we get to watch all the nobles feast it up with ridiculously lavish dishes and vomit and act like dickheads. The world building that goes on in her chapters are miles better than the stuff in Essos with Tyrion. I might be biased though because I don't give two shits about Essos..

Nobody does, except Dany who gives far more than two. I'm beginning to think that if the TV show finishes before the books, GRRM will write a different ending out of spite, and as the ultimate swerve. Or he'll just continue not writing. Either way is genre-defying, I suppose.

I'd be perfectly happy with the books and show forking off to be honest. If the show overtakes the books, and HBO makes it clear that this is completely their own story now, that would be my absolute preferred outcome. That way, I get AN ending, with a possible (but unlikely) book ending too. HBO could really tailor the ending to the strengths of the show and steer away from its shortcomings that way too. I REALLY don't want to watch a neutered ending before I read it though.

Would you rather "Play with her arse" than "Shits in the desert"? At least the latter contains scenes where more than three people interact.

I hope the show goes Wild Cards and just totally abandons the books and wraps the whole thing up in season 5.

IIRC what I appreciated about Brienne's stuff was that it gave the reader a view of how all the bullshit was effecting the smallfolk.

I'm a little baffled people still do Simpsons versions of people. I'm sure there's an imgur gallery of GoT as South Park characters, too, which is a blast from 15 years ago.

Well, good news/bad news: With the season over I figured it would be best to get to writing, but... The bad news is I just found out my vaunted notes on what I was going to right were left in the old place so I'm kind of going on memory and making stuff up as I go; The good news is I wrote about half a chapter this evening, so that's progress. I should have a full chapter ready in about 48 hours. Is anyone here familiar with the eastern Transylvanian dialect of Romanian? I'd hate to just use Google Translate.

Just paste lyrics for Dragostea Din Tei for all the Romanian dialogue.

Alternatively, use something that is very clearly not Romanian. Mandarin Chinese, maybe. Or heavily accented rhyming Cockney slang.

I'm a little confused as to why he started complaining about it after the third season wrapped up. Wouldn't he have said something, like, during the concept art and/or set building parts when the series was first filmed?

Making a comment like that 2-3 years late is actually pretty timely for him.

Maybe he's starting to regret the whole thing now that there's a distinct possibility someone else is going to finish his magnus opus before him.

We need to embroider up a set of these as thread-bearer swag. e: also, I just want to say that imgur is full of people who, much like our favourite threadgoers, aren't reading these books. They don't act as poorly when you mention books existing, though. Blade_of_tyshalle fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Jul 11, 2013 |

He himself points out in the blog post how his true vision of the iron throne is unfeasible for tv purposes because it's too goddamned big. Then he complains about the show's throne anyways because he's an absolute fucker.

We'll have to start over from season 1. I can't write the rest of the novels with the distraction of this terrible throne. And recast that bitch who wouldn't get her tits out after the first season. loving amateurs.

I think the GURM clearly is starting to get nervous about getting lapped by the show. Why write a blog post bitching for no reason? The show is 99 percent faithful to the books and he bitched about the changes. I think the show Wild Carding us is very, very real at this point. Season four is already being filmed. My theory is that if TWoW is not out by the time they start on season five, they might just part ways with the stringent adherence to GURM and move towards wrapping it up. Feast/Dance are so lovely, figuratively and literally, why adapt them any more that you have to? You could easily cut the Nuncles of the Greyjoys, Doran Martel's gout and rotten-rear end Mereen without skipping a beat.

Because this: quote:That's the Iron Throne as painted by the amazing Marc Simonetti (and if you haven't gotten his 2013 Ice & Fire calendar, better hurry, the year's half over) for the upcoming concordance, THE WORLD OF ICE & FIRE. It's a rough, not a final version, so what you see in the book will be more polished. means it isn't really a complaint. He's just shilling product.

It's not really distinct enough to be a dialect, and funnily enough some pockets of eastern Transylvania speak the purest accentless closest to standard Romanian you'll ever hear outside language lessons. So yeah, I speak Romanian and am willing to help. How do I contact you, presuming you don't want to do this in this thread (I don't have PMs)?

Victarion was one of the few enjoyable parts of those books. [...] That he is unpleasant, the more the pity, his fearful crew does witness it. But that he is, saving your reverence, human fecal matter, that I utterly deny. If sack and dusky women be a fault, God help the wicked. If to be dour and violent be a sin, then many an old host that I know is damned. If to part of an interesting plot is to be hated, then Khaleesi’s lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord, banish Dany, banish Doran, banish Hizdar, but for sweet Vic Greyjoy, kind Vic Greyjoy, true Vic Greyjoy, valiant Vic Greyjoy, and therefore more valiant being, as he is loyal Vic Greyjoy, Banish not him thy GRRM’s company, Banish not him thy GRRM’s company. Banish violent Vic, and banish all of Westeros.

Wow, I honestly did not think that would work. To be very specific, I'm looking for the sort of Romanian that would be spoken in the area of Bilbor, Sarului, essentially the closer to Gura Haitii down the 174F the better. Uh, before we go any further, you are familiar with the nature of this project, correct? I can be reached *redacted* if you're up for some translation.
