Really? All I've ever seen it called is Shadow Forest or Forest of Illusions. Either way, it was obviously a reference to Guardia Forest from CT but about ten times better.

I blame iTunes for giving me so many lovely translation options, I was a young boy unwise to the ways of the world, like Dany, you see

You have to be a contributor and have sent an email to agameofbones@gmail.com from a gmail address to get access.

And yes, re: writing this poo poo, it was disturbingly easy. I'll labor for weeks to find the inspiration and pick out just the right words for a 2000 word chapter in the novel I'm trying to write, but give me erotic fantasy fiction to pen and I'll spit out 3000 words in four hours. WHILE AT WORK.

Are we just pretending that the prologue chapter never happened? Cause I distinctly remember Varamyr thinking about how he warged into a female beast just to get shagged. That seems like a thing this thread would lap up.

She just says she would do it if it would mean Ramsay would leave her alone.

Quote for convenience for everyone else:

quote:

Jeyne pulled the wolfskins up to her chin. "No. This is some trick. It's him, it's my... my lord, my sweet lord, he sent you, this is just some test to make sure that I love him." A tear ran down her cheek. "Tell him, you tell him. I'll do what he wants... whatever he wants... with him or... or with the dog or... please... he doesn't need to cut my feet off, I won't try to run away, not ever, I'll give him sons, I swear it, I swear it..."

It sounds like he just threatened her with it and she'd rather do that than be mutilated.

I give GRRM his due, he knows how to make a character hated. I use to hate on Theon a lot, but by the end of ADWD and with the preview chapter on GRRM's site I was really rooting for the guy.

He knows how to turn a character around, as well (giving someone even worse to foil them against), which is why Ramsay is so loving ridiculous.

I eagerly await the villain who makes Ramsay Bolton our new beloved character.

I get that, but the story doesn't present the cheeto monster is sympathetic at all. Unless you read it as some weird commentary on how cheeto monsters all have beautiful people inside them and it's only by luck that you're not in their place. I suppose you could read it that way, but it's not a bad message.

The worst thing GRRM has done is create three distinct teenage/preteen girls for him to fetishes and have his self inserts paw all over.

You say this as if this thread doesn't have a history of intentional misreading of GRRM's work in order to find evidence for whatever our latest theory of GRRM is.

Besides, you can always say it's a work of self-loathing or something, in which GRRM is publicly castigating himself for his horrific ways.

I found this and posted it in the channel the other night. Oh lord, I want a shirt with the Lannister logo on it. Some of the names are awkward, though. It should really read "Dragonstone Targaryens" or "Storm's End Baratheons".

So my wife just read the Red Wedding and was obviously pissed like so many others have been...it felt good to know that she was coming up on it and then seeing her freak out was pretty funny.

She's calmed down now and she said to me 'Well dammit, Daenaerys better getting ready to gently caress some poo poo up!"

I answered 'Oh she loses her poo poo, don't worry.'
