1) That owns, because Neil Marshall owns.

2) That's unfair : Neil Marshall could direct an elementary school nativity play, and it would be amazing.

So, for the record, can I get clarification of who we think might be Azor Ahai?

Possible :

Zombie-Jon
Daenerys
Doulbe-Zombie Beric
Thoros
Wun Wun
Ser Pounce

Definitely not :

Stannis
lemonjape

That about right?

Ehhh, I've known one or two girls who've gone by Cat when they probably should have gone with Kate instead. It's less a "this sounds like that" than a "this has the same letters as that" diminutive. Some nicknames don't make a lot of sense, like Jack, Bill, or Hank. (Or Ned.)

To anyone who thinks nicknames make any sense based on sounds :

Peggy.

Seriously, gently caress the name Peggy. Where did all the other letters go?!

But Robb has fans and as we all know GRRM loves pleasing his fans.

He's been knocking everyone down just so he can bring them back for a massive orgy of cliche.

The next cliche he brings down is the cliche of breaking cliches.

He's playing a long, pizza-grease coated game. We're through the looking-glass here, people.

Twilight, from what I've heard, is much more creepy and hosed up and that's even more enormously popular, with women anyway.

I think Gurm gets away with it because it's in a medieval fantasy setting.

Also, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is the amazing and everyone should read it all day every day.

Mieville is pretty good, but his horror stuff is better than his fantasy stuff.

Didn't Charles Stross do a good fantasy thing, or is he all sci-fi and I'm getting confused?
