Well I did a search and couldn't find any other posts that were purely about what might be inside ADWD so I thought I'd start one. Does anyone have any interesting ideas that they are just dying to share? Any crackpot theories that might be explained in the next book such as Jon actually being...

I had just finished a clash of kings, and find myself wondering what is the purpose of Theon's POV in this novel. He doesn't really do much. Sure, he takes Winterfell, but not later, he loses it as well. So, what do you think is George's purpose for putting in Theon as a POV. I will have...

Millions of years hence, the Sun has grown old, bloated and red and is about to go out. In these dying days humanity, now capable of great feats of magic, shares the much-changed Earth with hostile races such as the deodands and pelgranes. This is the vivid setting of Jack Vance's Dying Earth...

Let's assume that R+L=J is true. Jon is still a *******, right? In the absence of Dany, would a ******* son of Rhaegar be the true heir to Westeros? If not, then what about Robb's decree regarding his heir to the North? If Robb legitimized Jon, thinking he was making Jon Stark, could he have...

St. Louis, 1857. Abner Marsh is the owner of the Fevre River Packet Company, running several steamboats up and down the upper Mississippi and its tributaries. But, during a particularly harsh winter, he loses all but one of his ships. In some financial difficulties, he encounters an unexpected...

I think that their existence should at least be known to those involved in the GoT but the Westerosis seem to be treating them as fables. I find it strange that they sent Jorah to spy on her and sent assassins after her but completely stopped keeping tabs on her after the assassination...

Whether he is a Head of the Dragon, the Prince Who Was Promised, a legitimate Targ or 'just' the ******* Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, I am convinced of one thing: Jon Snow must die. Why?!? I hear you cry. Because he's a bit annoying? Perhaps. Because if he wipes away one more unshed...

the whole rhaegar + lyanna = jon theory, my only big question about this is... who alive actually knows this? Who's going to be able to tell Jon that he's actually a Targaryen? The whole Rhaegar and Lyanna relationship had to be pretty secretive in the first place, so who was entrusted with...

The first substantive update in over a year. The salient points: * The current plan is to finish the book in June and publish it in October. This is not set in stone and may change. The US version looks like it has a new cover, which you can see in the blog entry. * At least one ADWD chapter...

Essos. I missed this for seven months. Also the fact that the Free City of Volantis is at the mouth of the River Rhoyne. And some other, more spoilery stuff: I feel curiously defeated, that such a fairly major piece of fanwank-pleasing information should slip me by :(

K well first off i think that sandor clegane isnt feeding the worms...the hound is.The friar brienne and company meets near the mouth of ruby ford says the hound is dead.Then proceeds to take them to the monastary to meet the head priest reknown for his healing skills.On the way up they see a...

So on another thread tk provided some links to other discussions about Dany, which got me thinking. What do you guys see as her next steps moving forward. She's going to have tons of people trying to pull her in different directions (the young griff, martell, victarion, tyrion, etc.) Who's...

I'm just curious what everyone else might think of this idea. But what if Dany never makes it to Westeros? Part of me feels that in the books Martin has left, having Dany circumnavigate the globe, fight the others, and conquer Westeros is too much and will caused him to write something rushed...

Just dwelling on Rhaegar as I am want to do when stumped. Hoping something here will click on a lightbulb in someones head. Not in order, my ramblings: Rhaegar was noble, just, dutiful, beautiful, respected, honored, somber, fair and Rhaegar was able .... able above all. He and Aemon knew...

I wanna do a poll, so we can keep track of who thinks what, and when we finally learn what it is, we who got it right can give the rest of you a hard time. Nominations to be posted in this thread. Mine would be Arya. After a week, if there's any participation, I will close the thread and...

The chapter released earlier this year in Bantam Spectra's PULSE magazine has been put onto Amazon. Check it out. It's a POV we haven't seen for a long time, and not one of the three chapters currently cycling through GRRM's website.

i think tyrion and sansa are going to become lovers at the end of asoiaf series.and i also think he and sansa would become king and queen of seven kingdoms.maybe dany and jon would chose another path

I just reread the Bran Chapter with the three-eyed crow, where he learnds how to fly. After rereading i could not help but found it a very intersting and ofcourse important chapter. Therefore i'd like to discuss it. Besides the fact that Bran finds it in him to live he also learns lots of...

Very definitely not canon, but still pretty nice. A fan created this map of the world in the same style as those ancient Mappa Mundi world maps. Check it out.

I was just watching a clip of The Departed movie when i heard : "my theory on feds is they're like mushrooms - feed them sh*t and keep them in the dark." here's the link YouTube - Three Best Lines from The Departed
