We've run out of Threads

[Wil]

I think we need ADWD to come out already. WE seem to have run out of topics for the Threads.

Now let's see for how many posts we can keep this one going...come on, cyberspace has lots of room.

Pardon my utter ignorance .... ADWD???

A Dance with Dragons (ADWD), the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIF) series by George RR Martin (GRRM). Yes we do have our little acronyms in this group...welcome and great name by the way.

Thank you, thats clearer I have come across occasional threads and GRRM is highly recomended, time to nip to Waterstones methinks!! My horizons need broadening.

Ohhhh...a virgin....

you are entering a new world my friend and I hope you are ready for the BEST fantasy series out there. It will ensorcel you like it has the rest of us. After the second chapter of A Game of Thrones, I was hooked like a crack addict.

Stop ready the threads and just devote the next few weeks to reading the 4 available books and we hope to see you back soon.

I'm on it, I have been pushed toward GRRM alot since my birth in this forum. You will be hearing from me in short order.

So start with a Game of Thrones you would suggest? I notice he has a large Bibliography!!

The ASOIF reading list (so far):

A Game of Thrones
A Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords
A Feast for Crows

There are also two novellas you can read after you've finished the main series.

A Dance with Dragons should be out sometime in 2007.

First allow me to enlighten you to the rules of the GRRM forums

1. No making fun of Georgies weight. Sure he could put a piece of pizza down and get the book at sooner, but it wouldnt have the same impact

2. Boaz isnt allowed to call you an idiot for 18 posts. I think thats the number, but if he calls you an idiot on your 4th post it must be 4....and if he hasnt called you an idiot yet the number is higher...just wait for it.

3. No political crap. No matter how wrong you are keep it to yourself.

4. Dont poke the Tree (Re: The Smiling Weirwood) You wont like him when he's angry. And by poking I mean dont misspell anything.

5. Dolorous Edd is the funniest character ever. Any dissenting opinon will get you eaten by vegetarian pygmies...dont ask, it isnt pleasant.

6. Oh, and anything else I say later


Thanks
Aegon the Unfunny

In regards to your question, I recommend the Wild Card series if youre into the Superhero genre. Complicated characters with interesting powers....its splendiforous....

Outside of that I have read nothing by Martin save the Dunk and Egg short stories...theyre in comic book format so I dont know if that would be your thing. But at least its interesting to see the forefathers of the current crop Westerosi hero...

Aegon, the most unworthy is witty but wrong on most things

Beware the Raven and Werthead as these creatures of the night know too much about ASOIF

And I hope you've read Shogun...

 

[Koopa]

Nonsense man, there are plentyof threads on the forum, its just that ur not interested in them.

Too little drunken humour for ur taste in it

QUOTE The Raven NEVERMORE

now that sounds silly no

 

[dustinzgirl]

You know, I've been around a very long time, and have always wondered what ASOIAF meant. Im so glad someone finally asked.

 

[Koopa]

really, its rather logical thats it is juts the name of the series in short

Logic, my dear Kiwi, was never my forte.

lol how many time have i broken that already? i shoukd be the exception to that

 

[Paige Turner]

Spelling we don't mind. It's the people who can't master the quotes…

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Aegon, the most unworthy is witty but wrong on most things

Is that wrong on most things in the aformentioned post or just wrong in general? I can live with the latter but the former will spark a forum flame war of epic proportions that will boggle the minds of lesser posters and leave you a lifeless quivering husk of the sad excuse for a stormtrooper you pretend to be....at least I think it will, must wait til the acohol wears off, then you'll see. Im very lucid and erudite normally. (yeah for thesaurus.com)

Wait...let me add a smiley thing so you know Im kidding....

Much better....good nature humor smiley established

And sadly I was thinking just the other day that no one has proposed a quack theory in too long...methinks we're tapped out on discussable quack theories....go ahead and prove me wrong.....seriously, pretty please

and dont think I didnt notice you called me witty....that my friend is a back-handed compliment that I will definitely relish and hold over you if you ever disagree with me.

 

[Koopa]

Theory, Tommen will die at the hands of the fate

ow w8 that theoryy aint so outrageous

 

[TK-421]

HA! Aegon. I really did laugh out loud at that last post...like that SNL skit with Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon "Good times, good times...)

I better watch disagreeing with you, eh? (Go Blue Jays!!!)

Well, if you're ever in the neighbourhood, we can flame over some liquid crack (i.e. Tim Hortons coffee).

Crackpot theory:
At the urging of his uncle Jaime, Tommen will enter a tournament and kills undead Gregor while fighting with Lightbringer after Melissandre declared he was Azor Ahai reborn.

This is a sad sad day . We really are at the bottom of the barrel. What ever am I to do with my time? If I don't hang out here I'm liable to go broke on ebay!!
