What are the chances of Prequel books to ASOIAF? I think lots of people would love to read about Robert and Ned and the Targaryens

Martin does a really great job of giving some history of Westeros but there could be so much more, it doesn't even need to be written by Martin as the story is already fleshed out

Also note that Martin seems to planning some sort of Silmarillion

From his Not a Blog:

The final story in DANGEROUS WOMEN will be my own, a 30,000 word novella entitled "The Princess and the Queen," a history (somewhat abridged) of the Dance of the Dragons, as set down by a maester of the Citadel.

Tor.com has just uploaded a sample to their site. You can find it here:

Enjoy.

(The full 80,000 word account of the Dance will eventually appear in a book, as yet untitled, that we're calling the GRRMarillion).

After rereading Game of Thrones I think the most common Jon Snow Theory is for sure the right one. I am pretty sure all of the talk of Lyanna is there for a reason and Howland Reed will make an appearance after Bran and Jon reunite at some point soon and will explain all to Jon. Jon then will meet up with the other two Targaryens with their 3 dragons to conquer the 7 Kingdoms and bring peace back to the realm.

It had been way too long on having not read the books to see all of the clues as plain as they are spelled out in GoT.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - 2013 Wave 1

« on: August 12, 2013, 10:54 PM »

I got my figs from Amazon today...wow are these things awesome. Yeah R2 is short but it is still an amazing figure. Same goes for Luke, great detail and great likeness. And the Sandtrooper is completely amazing. I have been hoping for these ever since Marvel Legends came out and I am glad they are finally in my paws. I'm going OT only so $100-$160 a year won't be too much to stomach.

I got my Biggs and Luke from Amazon today. Biggs bubble with really little effort fell right off. The aisles might be littered with cardbacks and empty bubbles.

Blame that 100% on Anakin having a never before seen or heard of Padawan for no real apparent good reason. I still think that (and bringing Maul back) are two of the stupidest ideas in SW history.

True story...I haven't eaten a McDonald's "hamburger" since April 2001 at a McDonald's inside a Wal-Mart store in Renton, Washington (final resting place of a certain Mr. Jimi Hendrix--the town, not the McDonald's inside the Wal-Mart). And even that was under duress.

Pretty close to Renton right now...may go have a burger at MickeyDs for ole times sakes
