HexMachina Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hello everyone, and welcome to the re-reading the Kingsguard project. :)The aim of this is to delve into the PoVs of our various Kingsguard to compare and contrast their views of their duties and vows. At this stage, I am simply recruiting volunteers and deciding how broad to make the interpretation (e.g. can I include Sandor's interactions with the Stark girls? Rolly Duckfield?). Currently, I have the three main re-read characters as Brienne, Jaime and Barristan, but this could of course be broadened.If you think you would be interested in joining this re-read project, please PM me. Deciding who shall look at each chapter can be decided once we have sufficient numbers.Chapters to read: (subject to change) A Game of Thrones: Eddard X, a Game of Thrones - The Tower of Joy - Booknerd2 Sansa V, a Game of Thrones - Barristan's Dismissal - HelenaAndTheMachine - 22/07/2014Sansa VI, a Game of Thrones - No True Knight - Sapphireghost18 - ????

HexMachina Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'd like to point out to everyone that this will still be going ahead, but will be delayed slightly, as I go on holiday this Sunday for one week. One of our volunteers has agreed to recruit others whilst I am away so hopefully once I am back we can start quite quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danelle Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm always up for a re-read involving Jaime. Me too! This sounds like a very interesting project and I would like to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool landed knight Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I would definitely be interested in this. I'm starting to re-read the series anyway, don't see why I can't skip to some kingsguard chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks to all who have volunteered (and wifi hotspots in bars!). OP has been updated with names. From Sunday I will start allocating chapters so have a think about your preferences. Also, if you think of any other notable Kingsguard chapters (dismissing Barristan, possibly the KL riots?) please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamWesterosiWallace Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think that the Arya chapters with Sandor should be considered, yes, because he is more honorable than half the knights in the current Knigsguard, even if he isn't an annointed knight. And, I'd like to suggest a Novellas reread, the Tales of Dunk and Egg. We all know that Ser Duncan was LC of Aegon V's Kingsguard, and the novellas are short and really cool.

Stannis of House Baratheon Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I would be glad to participate in whatever way needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ok, the OP is fully updated with all of the relevant chapters thus far. I want to start allocating chapters, so please PM me with your preference of chapter/chapters in a message entitled Kingsguard Re-read as soon as possible. Your task with the chapters you are given will be to gain an insight into the attitudes, functions and ideals of the Kingsguard, and to see the differences in how serious each of them take their vows.Submit this in any format you wish, but a useful way of doing this is a brief summary of what happens in the chapter, highlights of relevant points about the Kingsguard/their vows and any other comments on this. Dates for these to be submitted to the re-read project will be given when enough chapters are allocated - analyses will be in chronological order (i.e. GoT, then CoK, SoS etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamWesterosiWallace Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 We should pay attention to Sansa in ACOK too, she is the one with the biggest contact with the White Knights and how they take their vows, and their actions towards her are really different. Take for an example how Ser Meryn beats her out of pleasure, Ser Mandon out of Duty and Ser Arys only after the King forces him to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ladies and Gentleman, We have 11 chapters left to allocate, but we now have sufficient readers (thank you Dreamsongs!) to begin. I will be sending out dates to turn in your chapter analysis later tonight. One thing I decided was that Eddard X, the Tower of Joy, should be done last, since its such an iconic chapter.How long between chapters would you all like? One week? Two? Three? Please tell me what you would all prefer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamSongs Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Happy to be on board! I can have Jaime 1 ASOS done by Wednesday morning :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 You know, if you want this re-read to go ahead, I'm going to need people to respond to my questions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool landed knight Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 One week between chapters seems sufficient, if everyone else agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Gerold Dayne Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sounds good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 How long between chapters would you all like? One week? Two? Three? Please tell me what you would all prefer :) One week, because one week is seven days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
