considering the DT books "core" and his other novels and short stories "satellite works" is a mistake.

The post is about the DT books being their own core with surrounding fiction, not that they are King's focal point for all his work.

Thanks man :) Is it weird that I remember having a pseudo e-crush on you back like... I dunno, 10 years or so ago or more? I don't even remember which forum. Nothing creepy or weird, I just seem to recall that you were queer and always had perceptive and erudite things to say, so I would take note of your name/avatar when I saw it and would give your posts actual consideration, is really all I mean. Or maybe I'm imagining the part about you being queer, hard to keep all it in order sometimes,

Another stellar poster in these parts is Azure Horizon. Always seemed the friendly sort, if they live in your area maybe you could meet over beers. Don't be late though for it, AH hates that.

i was not on point because i was trying to write lady porn to make money but then when i saw how game of bones was going i couldn't stop laughing

we need to combine lady boners and the hilarity of game of thrones s02 somehow but we need actual planning (idgaf if it makes money that'd just be icing, you're the driven one who wants that lannister poo poo)

I do agree with this part, assuming he ever finishes the series:


About the only prequel I'd care about is maybe the Doom. Or some old school targaryen poo poo. Oooooorrrrrr maybe that lord commander that went Other depending how the main series plays out.

People don't give a gently caress if they know the ending. Twists are a crutch for hacks. They're willing to pay you good money to see something they've read played out in more detail.

Whoa, whoa, champ, that was a team effort. B_o_T, AGH, IRQ, a bunch of others. But I did pick up your particular slack, yes.

this one bugs me the most because if tywin went to save king's landing from stannis he would've just handed the war to robb stark. you don't get to have them win both ways, georgie.

I don't remember how it is in the lovely books but in the show Tywin returning to Kings landing coincides with Cat freeing Jaime and starting up the trouble with the Karstarks and (depending on how fungible the timeline between seasons is) Cat's dad dying which delays them too. You get the sense that Robb's army is in a holding pattern as he deals with that and prepares to attack Casterly Rock.

Really? I've always liked them. One of the few webcomics I've enjoyed. Curious what bugs you about it - no judgement - I can see how both their attitude and writing style could grind the poo poo out of someone's gears. But I've always been really happy about their success.

He seems to know that there is demand for it - he just doesn't want to do it. We will know all the critical poo poo, and personally, I like having my mysteries. I never wanted to know why Darth Vader turned evil - I didn't need to know, and any story that was told would be underwhelming. I don't want to know exactly what happened while Lyanna and Rhaegar were banging away for 9 months, or what their thoughts were. I mean It is interesting - but more in a "find a bit of an old story" or "hear a snipped from the past" kind of way. Otherwise it all just feels like "Muppet Babies" if you are old enough to remember that "babies" theme that ran through cartoons and stuff while they tried to breath life into lovely old IPs.

I mean - look you are right - and in this particular case, having some other jagoffs write the background story seems like the way to go for everyone. He wouldn't even have to "Twice tell" that story again. Now that I Think about it.. I'll be the problem is they need to write scripts right now. And the Mountain who does not Write still doesn't know everything that happens. So by spinning into totally new territory HBO

1) can start now
2) doesn't need to worry about storyline conflicts
3) GRRM might actually be willing to write a bit.. since he will do ANYTHING but work on the main book.

Nah - if you didn't like them 10 years ago or w/e you won't like them now. I think they've slowed down and have been a groove/rut for the last few years. And when I See another merch spin off, I sort of want to die inside, but w/e. If their fanbase wants collectible pins or whatever, go make some money guys.

eidt: "two fat guys talking about video games but they couch the language cleverly" Although not technically accurate ( only one is fat ) - yeah - this is what they are, and do, and I'm AOK with that. It is pretty much what I signed on for.

Penny Arcade is by far the most popular webcomic to ever exist. I think we'd all be lying to ourselves if we pretended that success didn't have something to do with all the goon antagonism. I used to read them semi frequently but lost interest years ago. After being around for almost 20 years and making 3 comics a week for that whole time, it's easy to find several examples of lovely comics if you really wanted. They're okay but hardly worth having a strong opinion about either way.

Popular, not best.

Achewood has spent a good chunk of the last 10 years on hiatus.

Penny Arcade has several comics on their site, multiple yearly cons all over the world, multiple seasons of a reality show, dozens of books, and as of ~8 years ago a good 30 people working for them. It's probably tripled since then.
