I don't doubt that this sort of thing could happen with Gurm, I just think he would have been explicit. He hasn't shied from talking about Varys or the Unsullied's lacking parts. If it is gone, either he thought that Theon had visibly suffered enough, or... oh my god, this is going to turn into an inspirationally handicapped story, isn't it?

I don't think it was covered extensively but I think Stannis took everything he had left to the north save for a token force at Dragonstone that gave Loras a bath.

Or have the whole chapter. Hope you like dream sequences, obsessive food descriptions, helpful recipes, Shakespearean beats, inside jokes, recurring jokes, tariff policy, references to WCW circa 1999, the clan, abrupt endings, overused ellipses, and so much more...Brendan posted:

Where was the overlong 'tribute' to Shakespeare? Where was the satanic imagery? Where were the Wu-Tang Clan references? Where was the WCW?! That poo poo's the loving draw. That's where the loving money is. Do you get what the gently caress we're trying to do here? Do you?! If I was your editor I'd slap you in the face with a poo poo-Dick Dildo®!

I'm transcribing WCW commentary in lieu of tits because otherwise we're all going get arrested instead of rich. These are the palate cleansing/afterglow chapters.

Notes to the editor(s) As I said before, I always treated the Brendan chapters as the afterglow/refraction chapters, hence the WCW, British telly, song, and so on. The chapter summation makes it basically the awakening of a young man and woman aged 13 and 15, so there was no way in hell I could be explicit with the two of them. The exception to this was in the last chapter, but I wrote the kid being several floors away from the action so I consider it akin to Bart Simpson walking in on his parents having sex and saying his first words. Also, imagine the marketing: Not into such... novels? How about rock music, British television parodies, wrestling in the 90s, and so much more?!

Dammit people, all this is distracting us from finishing the four chapters left before we make it rich. Rich I tell you! I've done three, you can't finish one? Nobody's saying it needs sensible, pleasant, or readable, just give us 2000+ words. If all else fails we'll change the first letter of each sentence to say something dumb and call it art.
