Oh, I'll be sure to do so! Thank you for all of those links above, btw.

Yeah, I feel you on /r/TumblrinAction. It isn't a wecloming place from what I've seem. In fact, the userbase there can sometimes go so far into that end, that it's actually a pretty shitty place. I'm all for mocking and poking fun at ridiculous stuff on tumblr, but it goes a bit too far.

I like that about reddit. You can actually have fandom discussions there. Wait, there's a roleplaying community on there? I didn't know that.

r/asoiaf is great! It has been a while since I've browsed it though. I mostly go there for the ridiculous fan theories, like Bolt-On.

I prefer to stick to the positive subreddits rather than the mocking ones, mostly, which is why the list I gave looks like it does. /r/TumblrInAction isn't focused at building up anything as much as it is at laughing at stuff. Even if that's fine once in a while, it feels sort of toxic to stay there for too long.

For roleplaying there are a lot of pages, but the quality... well, let's just say it varies a little. /r/Roleplay/ is probably the most 'hub'ish place, but quite often I've seen people set up private subreddits or small things just for a couple of people since Reddit's posting system makes longform stuff pretty easy to go on with. There are also more fandom specific things like /r/BendingRP/ and /r/PotterPlayRP with a few other smaller communities here and there.

/r/asoiaf is the best for hilarious tinfoil. Bolt-on will probably never come through, but damned if I don't have a soft spot in my heart for it. I'm also fond of Ajorah Ahai - sure, totally (most likely) untrue, but for a while it's fun to believe. There's some great discussion from users like /u/cantuse as well, though - their Stannis manifesto at https://cantuse.wordpress.com/2014/09/30/the-mannifesto/ is one of the most severely impressive pieces of fandom meta I've ever seen.

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from.

Oh, I feel so silly now. Of couse the roleplay subbredfit would just be r/roleplay. Thank you for the insight. It's been years since I've roleplayed and I've been looking to getting back into it.

Bolt-on is just the best tinfoil theory out there. Ajorah Ahai is another one of my absolute favorites. They've alsi got some awesome theories that are a bit more plausible. I'm gonna give this essay read asap.

For /u/cantuse's stuff, I'd actually suggest starting with the Night Lamp theory at https://cantuse.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/the-night-lamp-revisited-the-wrath-of-the-old-and-the-new/ which is much more readable - the giant fucking manifesto kind of follows from there to elaborate on other pieces of the campaign. While waiting for the next book to come out (which may be who knows when) reading this is a great appetizer or really gets me excited for what might come.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been in the mood for some meta lately, so this will scratch that itch. :)

Awesome! Always happy to rec stuff like this around, it's just great reading. Let me know how you find it, I really enjoyed the Night Lamp and it's one of the most plausible bits of speculation from fans that I've seen. Another piece of meta that I enjoy but find somewhat less likely is this Jon/Sansa post: http://blindestspot.tumblr.com/post/50820774456/jonxsansa regardless of whether it happens, it's a good bit of discussion on the themes of the story and comes off as definitely plausible.

You're absolutely awesome, anon. I'm going be set for the night with all this glorious meta. In return, have one of my favorite Old Nan theories. http://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/24gmx3/spoilers_all_theory_on_old_nans_true_identity

Oh, very neat! I think I've heard this one in parts but not in full, definitely remember the Blood Raven connection being made before but I must've missed this. That was fun to read, thanks for reccing it!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! There's several takes on that theory, but that one is my absolute favorite.
