yolkboy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 .This, I forget what the other option was but at a previous reading he had the audience pick between A or Damphair and really urged the latter but they picked person A.I would be interested to here what he has been up to on the islands. fwiw it was Arianne. Agreed, the previous willingness that he had for reading Aeron surely makes it the firm favourite if he's to read a new chapter. ps he commented that this Aeron chapter has very dark stuff in it.

Scorpion92 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I just wish he finishes his series,however long it takes. I enjoy listening to George,you can tell he is a great mind and there is thoughtful process behind his writing,and all great works take time. So I am just patient and enjoy speculating the next books with everyone else.Just hope the next chapter he reads is going to give us some good clues,I don't care whose chapter it is to be honest,I enjoy reading them all.

LordToo-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 it could be Asha I, if the tv show is going to show the battle of ice, he might want to avoid the spoiler by reading Asha´s chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I doubt it's going to be a new chapter, even with him being the GOH. He'll probably stick to reading one of the two latest sample chapters, which have never been read by him as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardsHead Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think it's going to be the Aeron chapter he wanted to read so bad, but I don't put it out of the realm of possibility, with season 5 getting into crunch time, that he is going to read a chapter that the end of season 5 could possibly spoil.

Drogonthedread Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 if he is reading a new chapter i think it will be daenerys chapter mainly because of this last cooment on his post And of course, I expect to find some burnt ends as well... dragon-charred, no doubt... and i dont think that Daenerys chapter will be too spoilerish ...it will be very similar to say MErcy or Alayne chapter ...and in a way the show may spoil the chapter in the season finale ...so he may be reading it like he had done with mercy and alayane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 fwiw it was Arianne. Agreed, the previous willingness that he had for reading Aeron surely makes it the firm favourite if he's to read a new chapter. ps he commented that this Aeron chapter has very dark stuff in it. I agree and probably the dark stuff is the confirmation that Euron raped him when he was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonisHenryTudor Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The point about GRRM having released the Alayne chapter recently is an interesting one. He just released new material (that apparently he didn't want to judging by some of these posts). Has he ever read the same "new" chapter at multiple events? Like would he say that he's going to do a reading, and then it turns out not to be anything new? Because it seems to me if he was just going to read something that was already released, he'd have said "I'm going to read Alayne/Theon/Barristan/etc." So with that in mind, possible chapters we could get if it's something new: Cersei - preparing for her trial (maybe watching Robert Strong practice in the yard), receiving word that Kevan and Pycelle are dead Bran - advanced tree reading lessons with Bloodraven (but no "reveal" ones) Sam - his first maester lessons/revealing to the Citadel that the Others are real and the Watch needs help Victarion - killing people during the battle of Meereen, teaming up with Barristan Jon Con - preparing to take Storm's End through guile, Aegon's coronation I think he'll stay away from people like Theon, Asha, Dany, Jon, and Mel because they have too much to possibly reveal (Stannis dead/not, Dany enslaved/khaleesi again, Jon dead/not etc.), and probably stay away from Tyrion because he's already had 2 chapters. Yes I doubt he would read a Jon chapter....but that would shock the hell out of people. Here is the Not A Blog post George made regarding conventions, this should clarify as to why he is still going to certain conventions. http://grrm.livejournal.com/415405.html Yes I know I have read it. I was more or less posting in hopeful bliss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Is A Sweet Poison Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 so shouldn't he have read it by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 so shouldn't he have read it by now? He did. It was the Alayne chapter that can be found on his website as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Did anyone ask him any ASOIAF questions? :)http://ariannenymeria.tumblr.com/post/120152524689/highlights-from-the-q-a-with-grrm-at-conquestHere are a few transcribed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsOfBrains Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 As soon as he read the first word of that chapter (the name of the POV) I bet there was an audible whine of disappointment then the sound of like 100 dudes turning off clandestine recording devices. No doubt everyone in that auditorium was ready for some awesome previously unreleased mind blower of a reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
