GRRM has said it will not be the Theon chapter he just gave us. also he said he will not be introducing any new Pov characters in TWoW other than one-off prologue or epilogue characters. who will it be?

I don't think it'll be the Arianne chapter he did a reading for. Maybe the alternative Aeron Damphair chapter?

Really though I think it almost has to be a "biggie."

It'll be a Dany chapter, just to make Apple Martini really happy :P

I'm hoping for Sansa, but expecting Damphair.

Yes, I hate Dany. Woop-de-doo?

Actually I don't care if it's her POV, as long as it's well written and has good info.

Also hoping for Sansa here. We haven't heard from her since AFFC!

I'd be interested in a sample from Sansa largely just to see what Littlefinger is up to, but I bet it will be Damphair.

POVs I'd LOVE to get but we probably won't
Jaime or Brienne
Jon Conn
Sam
Davos
Arya

I too would love a Davos chapter. Crap, now I think Damphair is the only POV I wouldn't want.

I hope it is Sansa, just so I can know what Littlefinger is up to.  His thoughts on what is happening in the realm are always insightful too.  I really missed him in ADWD

I actually wouldn't mind a POV from Damphair, would be interesting to know what he's plotting against Euron (because you know he's gotta be plotting something). I would NOT want a Victarion or Areo Hotah chapter.

I want a Sansa chapter, then either Sam or Davos.

This. This, and This. I hope you're listening, GRRM even though I know you aren't.  :frown5:

I hope it isn't Damphair...which means it probably will be. I have no interest in what he's up to since there's nobody of note with him right now.

I think the more likely candidates are:

---Damphair (..............)
---:bang:


---Sam
-To let us know what's going on in the world of Maesters and novices-who-aren't-what-they-seem (cough Sand Snakes and Faceless Men!) :thumbsup:
-And of course we've all been dying to see Fat Pink Mast, part two, haven't we? :ack:


---Victarion
----Because he's... a pirate? :pirate:
----all that "kraken and dark flame" prophecy business. I'm sure I'd love to see what happens when Victarion arrives and Dany isn't even there.



None of these am I especially excited for, which of course is just how GRRM wants it. :devil:

I hope and pray it's a chapter on Jon.

But that probably won't happen.

What about Tyrion? Probably not likely, but his could be... interesting. Possibly. I also wouldn't mind one from Sam. Or Davos! It seems like forever since we last had a POV from him.

If GRRM truly knows his readers, he will give us the Sansa chapter. No one likes Aeron. And I can't imagine him telling, showing, giving, doing, seeing, or experiencing something of interest. If the Drowned God has not beamed him to some interesting place, he is still stuck on the Iron Islands, and nothing important happened there. Ever.

I'd gladly read Arianne's first chapter, though. Witnessing Doran's reaction when he learns about Aegon would be interesting. Is he hoping the boy truly Elia's son, or is he sceptical.

Arianne II would not be that interesting since we already what happened there.

Happy New Year everybody.

I'm guessing it will possibly be Sansa or Sam.  Not too interested in the Damphair, either, but it would not surprise me.  Davos could be a possibility - the start of his journey to find Rickon.

I'd love to see Ser Barristan just to see what happens next.

I think it will be a new one we haven't already seen, sell more books that way, and a puzzle piece that doesn't join with those we already have.
I don't think it will be one to solve any cliffhangers, so maybe Sansa, Davos, Sam or Tyrion.

sadly, I'm not counting on Jon, Bran, Arya.

Question here,

Has GRRM ever put the bonus chapter on his site after it comes out in paperback?

I ask only if no, then I have to buy the paperback to get that info, or if he puts it on his site I just print it and stick it in the back of my ADWD hard cover.

When unemployed I need to save where I can.  :)
