Wait, you mean you didn't imagine two naked ladies with massive tits eating each other out while Jon and Sam took the Night's Watch oath?

I still say we go to that 1800's farm community in New Brunswick and do our ghetto-rear end re-enactment of the Battle of Blackwater.

We should hire a sorrowful man to take him out then hold a competition to finish the series.

I'm reading the first one and doing an MST3K thing of it because my friend's mom insisted I do so. I just hit Chapter Seven and it's... a thing.

I can honestly say it is the worst piece of published literature I have ever read, and I read "Twilight". What makes it better is that "50 Shades of Grey" was literally a Twilight BDSM fanfic written by EL James under the pen name "Icequeens Snowdragon". 80% of the original fanfic is still intact in the published text... she honestly just went through and did Find/Replace on the names, and it's pretty obvious if you know even a tiny bit about "Twilight".

There is literally nothing redeemable about that book, absolutely nothing.

Isn't that the plot of Being John Malkovich? Works for me.

We need to retain the arbitrary lesbian sex scenes, though. We have to make sure we nail every possible female market we can. Also Renly/Loras but written in the floweriest, sparkliest animu bullshit way that can be managed.

Also, warging into the weirwoods would set up a great voyeur thing.

More like crippled Bran getting it in the rear end from warg controlled Hodor and his dick is so big that he can feel it in his stomach.

Join the channel and sit in it all day but never actually say anything, like me! At least the room LOOKS full!

Jon Snow is actually a Targaryen and the weirwoods had the proof. With Ned gone - who else would know the truth? Howland Reed & the Weirwoods. Howland is in hiding for his life, and the weirwoods have been burned and destroyed north of the wall.

Don't even get me started on the Iron Bank! Joffrey may have shot the bolt that killed that poor beggar.. but it is Bravos who winds the crossbow!

The Wheel of Fortune" traces astrological knowledge in ancient Greek manuscripts from Baghdad’s founder, Caliph Al-Mansur, via the Muslim monastery/medical school at Gundeshapur, to the medieval Church’s need for alarm clocks (the water horologium and the verge and foliot clock). The clock mainspring gave way to the pendulum clock, but the latter could not be used by mariners, thus the need for precision machining by way of Huntsman’s improved steel (1797) and Maudslay’s use (1800) of Ramsden’s idea of using a screw to better measure (which he took from the turner’s trade). This process made a better mainspring and was also used by the Royal Navy to make better blocks. Le Blanc mentioned this same basic idea to Thomas Jefferson who transmitted this "American system of manufactures" – precision machine-tooling of musket parts for interchangeability – to New Englanders Eli Whitney, John Hall and Simeon North. The American efficiency expert Frank Gilbreth and his psychologist wife later improved the whole new system of the modern production line.

Perhaps you're correct, for leisure cruises. But considering a tactic used was ramming in naval warfare, I think if you can keep up a good velocity to easily take out other vessels it would be of much interest.

Are you saying that lampreys are mermen and everyone in the GRRMiverse has just been cool with eating miniature (or baby) half-fish people? If so then why the hell would both the names lamprey or mermen exist, and why would it be necessary to distinguish between them when describing Manderly's sigil?

He puts down his knife and saunters slowly over to me, his eyes burning. Leaning past me, he switches the gas off. The oil in the wok quiets almost immediately.
“I think we’ll eat later,” he says. “Put the chicken in the fridge.”
This is not a sentence I had ever expected to hear from Christian Grey, and only he can make it sound hot, really hot.

I don't mean it as an insult to the people who post there, but there's a thread in the business and careers subforum of ask/tell full of people who write erotica/smut/pornography/whatever you want to call it and I'm seriously thinking about joining the bandwagon.
