  THIS THREAD CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR ALL BOOKS IN THE A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE SERIES WILD CARDS Goons are writing parodies of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series and E. L. Jame's Fifty Shades of Grey
 Spoilers A Dance with Dragons has been published. This is the latest, long-awaited book in the series that goons have been pining for since 2005. So, since none of us care for spoiler tags, it is best if you go to the spoiler-free thread until you've read it. If you haven't read it yet, chances are that discussion in this thread will literally and unironically ruin your life. Do you want to continue making rape and lemoncake jokes? Because you sure as hell can't in this thread! This is no longer the bad thread, it's called "the bland thread". So don't go too far. This thread is intended to be an actual book discussion rather than a FYAD-lite dump-ground of useless posts. Here's why if you want to know. The rules still apply. Please use your shift key in order to make coherent post, no empty-quoting, and try to make at least one funny comment or useful statement in your post. Bonus points if you add images.  IRC Channel You may by all means join the IRC channel #thebadthread on irc.synric.net, or click here for instant access, in order to continue the FYAD-lite stuff.  A Song of Ice and Fire
  Thanks to Kylaer for posting this. This is for historical purposes.
And that brings us here to the bland thread.  You can also discuss the HBO series in this thread. Season 3 of the series premiered on March 31st, 2013. Episodes return next March, 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzI9v_B4sxw&hd=1 Stay Safe fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Jul 9, 2014 |

Why is Bran so happy in the graphic novel scene? I imagined that scene as a spooky/somber scene because it was an omen with a dead Direwolf bitch. Not some kind of "puppies!" scene.

Habibi posted:Well what he says is, "1:00 pm A reading, from THE WINDS OF WINTER (AO1+6, RSCC)," which could just as easily mean that he's going to sit down and read one of the appendixes. I can just imagine the transcript of the event! GRRM enters. GRRM sits down on a couple of lined of chairs. GRRM rubs the crumbs out of his beard. GRRM takes out a 300 pages from his briefcase binded loosely. GRRM starts talking about the NFL for thirty minutes. After a while, GRRM eventually finds his way back to the book and clears his throat. *ahem*. "Sansa took a bite of the lemoncake". GRRM struggles to get up, and waddles over to the table to do autographs.

http://louie.bigcartel.com/ This is an ad on SA banners here. This guy is selling ASOIAF art. Isn't that kind of illegal to some degree? Not that I really care that GRRM won't get all his money to travel the world and go to conventions while consuming half the state's food surplus while an artist can't make some of that money or anything.

Event idea: As you may (not) know, NaNoWriMo is coming up. This is when people with no lives that spend all their times in books and not on da streetz write a novel in November. What if we did a SA NaNoWriMo for ASoIaF using Neovella? Neovella is a site that published hundreds of goons for half-assed works of art. Basically, you join a project, and there's a few others working on the same project. You provide/contribute to a story, and when time runs out, the next person in the room contributes their part. When time runs out or they submit their part, it goes to the next person, and loops around until the story is done. So basically, what we could do, is all pick a date to write a neovella of ASoIaF Wild Cards edition. On that date, we go to https://www.neovella.com join the ASoIaF room, and start writing the If we get enough support (at least 5 people) let's do it. Otherwise, I'll consider it an unfavorable idea and cry myself to sleep. savinhill posted:So did anyone else ever picture Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force as Jorah Mormont before the TV show?

So we got two people (not including myself) that want to do the project. If we get five, what we need to do is decide the following: Title Chapters/perspectives Date to start If there is a chapter that is just "rape" for every word Also, you don't have to had read all books in the series, but it might help you the more you read.

Here is how Neovella works! People sign into the website at https://www.neovella.com They then click on the "A Song of Ice and Fire project" What happens next is that join a "room". On the left side is the text of the project that we are working on, on the right side is names and a list of people and chat features. When you join, you wait your turn to add in text. You have about 1-2 minutes to compose text. You can write just a word or a paragraph or whatever. If you run out of time, it goes to the next person in the list. They get 1-2 minutes to write, edit, or whatever. When their time runs out, it goes to the next, and you basically have to wait your turn again. It's more entertaining than it sounds; you are not really waiting for your turn again, because you are reading the text and being engaged with other people's contributions, and when it IS your turn again, you build off what they have submitted. This goes on until we are done with a chapter, then we put the project on hold until another date we all agree on, then begin another chapter. No one person can write a whole chapter exclusively using the Neovella site.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Actually, you can if you set it up to do so. Honestly, a 2 minute timeframe to write something in a loop with other people sounds like a really lovely way to spend some time. In retrospect, my experience with it was a lot better, but that might be because of the copious amounts of booze I drank when I attended the composition of Never Trust an Eagle on a Pole We might mix it up. If you want to write a chapter on your own, we can set it up that way I guess. But I want a few sessions where we each share lines at least, just to make it the most "wtf" chapters that GRRM can only dream of making. I am making this an official event in the OP. What date should we start? 29th too cloes to Halloween? Sometime on the weekend?

I wonder if they did that on purpose, like the dialect in King's Landing is different from the North. Or maybe I am just trying to rationalize something that is their mistake. Anywho, I just did a search on Wikipedia for "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog", and Wikipedia suggest that I search for "Wanderer Above the Sea of Food" and the first thing to come to mind was "by George R. R. Martin, his first painting"

LooseChanj posted:I don't see much in the way of book discussion, Just Sayin' I have been curious for a while now, and please be honest: have you read the series? Or does ASoIaF not interest you at all? Edit: Also I have been curious what other goons think: When/if Dany ever does return to Westeros (everything is pointing there but who knows), how will she...enter it? Will she somehow help R'hllor's Zombie Jon at the Wall repel a bunch of Other Zombies, or will she return through Dorne, like an inverse Aegon the Conqueror Stay Safe fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Jan 19, 2012 |

ruddiger posted:If that's the case, then Theon totally sent the "Bastard" letter. He knows what the letter says, and he repeats a few of the lines in his head while talking about it with Stannis. I didn't think anyone else could've sent it besides Ramsay when I first read Dance, but after that preview chapter, I'm pretty sure it was Theon. Now, why did he send it? I have no loving clue. Maybe if they went at each other, he'd figure Jon would gently caress Ramsay's poo poo up. I haven't read that chapter but I am having a hard time imgining Theon write in his condition.

Edit: Also looking forward to Brienne-centric episodes Also, as far as portraying Dany, I don't think they would focus on that much after she claims Mereen as her throne. The chapters of Dany are about her fantasizing during court procedures save for the guy with his child's bones. Stay Safe fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Feb 2, 2012 |
