No, he just raped his straight friends while they were drunk. He deleted the original post, but people quoted it and his other posts.

I really should stop inquiring about why people have been banned.




Wait a second. I am straight and have had sex while drunk. Does this mean I have been raped? Or would it only be rape if it was done by a gay person? I am so confused. Never have I become more "curious" as I got more plastered. If anything, women go up in value. Like Willie Nelson sang: Last night I came in, a 2 was a 10, but at 10 I woke up with a 2.

Well, if you have your gay posts and have to qualify them with 'well, they're not normally gay, but I got them drunk enough...'. Also, he mentioned that things were awkward after, which didn't help his case.

GRRM took time from his busy football season to have an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald:

quote:

"When the writing is going really well, I do get lost in it, I almost live in it. It occupies the back of my head. I'm thinking about it constantly. I go to sleep thinking about it. I wake up thinking about it. I cross the street thinking about it – my office is across the street from my house."

"I spend all day in Westeros and King's Landing. The real world almost seems to fade away."

"It is great that so many people are eager for the next book and certainly these are the people who are paying my bills and allowing me to have a house across the street from my other house," he says. "But at the same time, sometimes I just wish they would stop pressuring me about it. It will be done when it's done. I'm working on it. I don't know what else I can say: I'm a slow writer, I've always been a slow writer, and these are gigantic books."

The people buying those books, he says, sometimes even turn up at his office-house in Santa Fe.

"Which is a little annoying," he says. "Mostly they are fans and lovely people, but some of them show up with six-packs of beer and they just want to sit down and shoot the poo poo with me - which is nice, but if I am kicking off work every day to have beer with the fans, that's not so good."
Okay, Wild Cards, which of you showed up at his house with beer?

He should just find some way for people to preorder the future books with the release day of "when it's finished." That way he'll never have to write again and be wealthy for the rest of his life, because who's going to sue him after that?

The show writers will just finish the books for him and he can just copy them.

Hopefully Joffrey killing Ros will become an important plot point in the show so that GRRM's retconning her into the books becomes even more awkward than when he was planning to write her in when she was alive.

You know full drat well the reason they killed Ros is because when GRRM said that they thought "no GRRM, that's too stupid even for us".

E: and now WoW is only 20 pages long because half the proposed 1800 page manuscript was Ros gaping her anus.

Ros The Ghost of King's Landing

Littlefinger crept into the room quietly, as Ros Theon sat astride a young nobleman of two and twenty with powerful thighs like an aurochs. SHe faced away from the camera Littlefinger, her his perfectly formed buttocks, red and raw from paddling, glazed in sweat and cum, like two perfect honeybaked hams, spread wide revealing her his most treasured delicacy.

"This one's all finished. Would you like to have a go at my pretty pink logsplitter, my lord?" Ros Theon said.

Littlefinger gave a sleazy smile. "Not today my sweet lady Theon. I'm here on business."

Ros Theon continued to gently convulse in waves of post-orgasmic anal bliss. Her His plump pink rear end in a top hat gingerly opening and closing like the mouth of a man blowing on hot neep and carrot stew, trying to cool it.

WoW will be Duke Nukem Forever. He'll mess about for years occasionally releasing a teaser chapter here and there all the while repeating the mantra "when it's done." Then he'll go belly up (read: die), some other writer will take what ever he had written, string it together into something coherent, and release it as unedited as possible to appease GRRM fans.

The result will be about 10 and half dull pages of the worst kind of misogyny and incest.

I'm a slow writer, so the best thing I can do to ensure that I achieve the only thing my fans actually give a drat about it spending my time doing anything else I can possibly think of, generally involving football and editing horrific rape-based superhero fanfic, or perving on actresses.
