So does the non-spoiler show thread get a massive flood of book based spoiler photoshops like ten seconds after they happen on HBO during a live-watch?

Not really. There isn't anything quite like Robb Wind yet.

e: Also, The Wild Cards thread continues to be interesting. That thread's Azure_Horizon, on how a female Fortunato's abilities might work (which I believe they misunderstood to be a question as to whether such a one existed):

There isn't one. It's a circle thing; women can awaken the power but can't use it, men can use the power but can't awaken it. It's not exactly an equal relationship, but it makes the point that a man is nothing without the love of a woman.

Yep. That's...yep.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

GRRM might look less creepy if his eyewear wasn't twenty years out of date at a minimum. Get some smaller frames, man, be modern.

It's amazing how closely GRMM's actual appearance aligns with what I expected he'd look like before I'd ever seen him.

Not that he's the only author like that. See also: Goodkind, Terry.

RA Salvatore looks exactly like you would expect him to, as well.

I think the last author I read who doesn't seem to match up with their voice at all has been Jim Butcher. I expected him to look a lot more like Fat Harry Dresden. Maybe if I'd read his non-Dresden stuff?

quote:

Its claws digging into stiff dead flesh, the chicken slowly turned to face her. It cocked its head, making its comb flop, its wattles sway.

"Shoo," Kahlan heard herself whisper.

There wasn't enough light, and besides, the side of its beak was covered with gore, so she couldn't tell if it had the dark spot. But she didn't need to see it.

"Dear spirits, help me," she prayed under her breath.

The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn't. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.

This was evil manifest.

I wouldn't feel too bad, that's a lot of people in high school. The pathetic part is when they never quite outgrow it and it slowly spoils until they become the kind of wrongly self-assured rear end in a top hat that no one can communicate with to tell them they're creeping people out because their views on reality are so widely divergent from the general public that it actually becomes impossible.

Terry Goodkind is the sort of person who leaves their sex toys laying out, even when they know company is coming over and you're never quite sure if it's because he doesn't recognize that it is a thing that one should politely put up or if it is some kind of pathetic macho thing where he's trying to prove that he knows what sex is because he never got laid in high school.

It roughs her up some and then her boyfriend scares it off if I remember correctly. It turns out to actually be a manifestation of a centuries old spell to remove all magic from existence or some poo poo.
