Re: 132

I agree with everything you've said--is there a particular discussion forum/community that you enjoy for these books? I find most of the major ones really frustrating--they seem to be dominated by the worst, snobbiest, "these books advance the genre because of their gritty realism" fans, who are, of course, the ones who worship Dany and Jon and insist on discussing PTWP, R+L=J and all that other stuff over and over.


I also like the political machinations (I bow at Oleanna's feet, and Kevan Lannister is also awesome)--GRRM is excellent at giving random chance and mechanisms of progress that were (at least at one time) partially constructed/controlled by humans the feel of prophetic/magical determinism, and I think that ASOIAF is most compelling and truly breaking new ground when he's operating in such a vein.

I think that fanfic would give the fandom a sense of humor, which would be nice (and it would be nice to have something to do between book breaks). Plus, in terms of vulgarity and violence, the canonical bar is already pretty low (high?), and there's a part of me that is quite curious to see how fandom would try and top the canon.

Do you ship Sansa w/the Hound (or at all)?

I have an account at the main forum for ASOIAF (asoiaf.westeros.org), but I haven't been there for the longest time because all of the topics are the same now (R+L=J and variants, WHO'S THE STRONGEST, etc). I totally agree with you that the fandom should loosen up. Unfortunately, I haven't found any good forums/sites for that type of interaction. I'm part of the LJ community, but it's pretty dead and I've never posted.
You're definitely right that fanfic would give the fandom the humor that it desperately needs. And while much of it would inevitably be badfic, some good stuff would crop up too simply because there is so much to work with in that world. Hell, I might be inspired to write stuff (haven't written fic for 4 years) and actually participate in the fandom of my favorite books. :|
Even though the sensible part of me tells me I'm being a hopeless romantic, I would have to say that I do ship Sansa with the Hound. I loved watching their interactions change and that last scene with them is probably one of my favorites in the series.
