Oh my oh my. It has been a while since I was last here. OK, it was not technically here, but on the board before this, and the one before that one. 1998, I think it was. Game of thrones had just come out (and I mean the book, you know), and we were a really small little group of fans. Yep, those were the days. I'm still in touch with some, and I still miss some others. That's the reason I'm here. Someone over at Facebook told me that this is your place now, and that indeed Ran still runs the show (*waves@Ran*), and that Kay and Jeff and some of the old folks are still here, so I decided to check in. OK, hm, so, introduction, as 98% of you guys surely do not remember the Min. ;) I'm a gal from Germany, former journalist now turned entrepreneur, GRRM fan since the first minute he published things, avid reader, writer and quite some other things... you'll find out if you really want to.
