I mean, I get that it's fantasy but seriously, in what dimension does EVERYONE go commando? (cue Clack)
    Not everyone.

      Medieval bras were called "breastbags."

        My 17 year old daughter is an aspiring author. She's been world building and outlining her story for years. I've encouraged her to document all her plot ideas, characters, settings, etc... She is also an avid fan of GoT and GRRM. Turns out that she has been sharing her story ideas with GRRM and he has been reading/critiquing her story ideas and giving her tips and advice. She's shared her google drive account with him and emails him periodically. She told me that he had one rule, no questions about future plot lines or characters' lineage form GoT. As an aside, he told her that he finds her ideas very intriguing and her main plot device a really good idea he wished he'd had.

        So, a huge +1 to GRRM for mentoring/fostering the next generation of story writers. Also, basically my daughter is the reason it's taking GRRM so long to write the next books... I'm also pretty damn proud of her.

          Wait until his next book comes out and your daughter's plot device is featured front and center.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Yeah, I'll be super mad and ineffectually rage on the internet somewhere...

                Wow, that's really cool. Major props to GRRM.
                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                  Tell her to knock it off. GRRM only has so many years left in him, and the story needs finishing.

                  But in all seriousness, that's pretty awesome. Let us know when she publishes her first book.

                    That's pretty cool. Mentoring is a special thing. Someone can be a great mentor to one pupil and have no effect on another. I'm glad your daughter took the risk to reach out to him. So many kids are risk-averse these days that they'd never even try.

                        Watching that intro more than tripled how much of that show i have seen. It looks like HBO puts a lot a money into that production. Impressive.

                            no chance. All the foreshadowing points to him being the key to everything. Sorry, charlie.
