Xray the Enforcer

Just wanted to thank Trisk and everyone else who has donated thus far. Up to $2666.50 $2716.50 and hopefully still going! :grouphug:

(Repost for those who don't visit the book forums) I've seen people post time and again how much they love posting here, love the books, love/hate/lovetohate the TV show, love the discussions. There are a lot of you out there -- we saw our ranks nearly double as the first season aired -- and that's great. But it's time to give back to the community you profess to love. We're having a fundraiser right now, and we're looking to get as much money as we can to finance desperately needed hardware upgrades and maintenance. Ran set a conservative $2,000 target. There's really nothing more awesome than blowing past your fundraising target, so please make our holy-shit-we-made-it-to-$3,000 day and chip in $5. Or more. Whatever you feel comfortable donating. The fundraiser goes through next Wednesday, so if you don't have the cash now, you can wait until after payday to contribute. The ChipIn contribution widget is on the left side of the page. Here's Ran's official announcement, with helpful links:

I've had to move a bunch of threads out of this subforum because they're totally off-topic. If you look at the forum subhead, it clearly states that this is a place to discuss the upcoming The World of Ice and Fire companion book written by our own Ran and Linda. If your thread idea does not pertain to this subject matter, please do not post it in here. Post it in the appropriate subforum: General or, if it's specially about TWOW, in the The Winds of Winter subforum. Thank you.

[mod] ADWD spoilers MUST be put under spoiler tags. Those that are not will be deleted. Thank you. [/mod]

Done and done!

There's another post in this thread that has already added the links. I will eventually link to all of the threads in the OP, but I've a very limited amount of free time, so it'll take a couple of days to complete the task.

It was suggested by a couple of people, so maybe just say a thank you to the general fandom. I am finding it useful although making all of those threads sucked ass. And I'm still not done! I am going to eventually hotlink each thread to the chapter heading in the OP of this thread. But that will have to wait until later today. Thanks to Bender (BC upthread) and to whoever it was in the main ADWD forum for typing all the stuff out. I just copy/pasted their hard work. Anyway, so enjoy the various chapters. I've put the beginning page number in the OP of most threads, so you can make sure you are in the POV that corresponds to where you are in the book, and it also saves you seeing any spoilers right off the bat if you do click on the incorrect thread. :)

Here's a guide to the POVs (I've cut out all info as to who the POV is in the obscurely named chapters) by chapter and page number from the US Hardcover. If anyone wants to provide page info for the UK Hardcover, go right ahead. :) (note: I haven't fact-checked these against my physical copy yet. Will do tonight when I'm at home.) Prologue: 3 - 15 Tyrion 1: 16 - 30 Daenerys 1: 31 - 45 Jon 1: 46 - 59 Bran 1: 60 - 70 Tyrion 2: 71 - 82 The Merchant's Man 1: 83 - 94 Jon 2: 95 - 111 Tyrion 3: 112 - 122 Davos 1: 123 - 133 Jon 3: 134 - 147 Daenerys 2: 148 - 160 Reek 1: 161 - 168 Bran 2: 169 - 178 Tyrion 4: 179 - 191 Davos 2: 192 - 202 Daenerys 3: 203 - 217 Jon 4: 219 - 231 Tyrion 5: 232 - 242 Davos 3: 243 - 252 Reek 2: 253 - 266 Jon 5: 267 - 276 Tyrion 6: 276 - 292 Daenerys 4: 293 - 305 The Lost Lord: 306 - 319 The Windblown: 320 - 331 The Wayward Bride: 332 - 350 Tyrion 7: 351 - 371 Jon 6: 372 -381 Davos 4: 382 - 394 Daenerys 5: 395 - 406 Melisandre: 407 - 418 Reek 3: 420 - 433 Tyrion 8: 434 - 447 Bran 3: 448 - 460 Jon 7: 461 - 472 Daenerys 6: 473 - 483 The Prince of Winterfell: 484 - 499 The Watcher: 500 - 513 Jon 8: 514 - 524 Tyrion 9: 525 - 535 The Turncloak: 536 - 548 The King's Prize: 549 - 563 Daenerys 7: 564 - 578 Jon 9: 579 - 592 The Blind Girl: 593 - 604 A Ghost In Winterfell: 605 - 617 Tyrion 10: 618 - 631 Jaime: 632 - 646 Jon 10: 647 - 660 Daenerys 8: 661 - 672 Theon 1: 673 - 686 Daenerys 9: 689 - 699 Jon 11: 700 - 716 Cersei 1: 717 - 729 The Queensguard: 730 - 740 The Iron Suitor: 741 - 753 Tyrion 11: 754 - 768 Jon 12: 769 - 782 The Discarded Knight: 783 - 792 The Spurned Suitor: 793 - 800 The Griffin Reborn: 801 - 813 The Sacrifice: 814 - 826 Victarion 1: 827 - 834 The Ugly Little Girl: 835 - 847 Cersei 2: 848 - 859 Tyrion 12: 860 - 871 The Kingbreaker: 872 - 886 The Dragontamer: 887 - 898 Jon 13: 899 - 913 The Queen's Hand: 914 - 928 Daenerys 10: 929 - 943 Epilogue: 944 - 959

welcome, all. :)

No, it just means that we don't have much time to visit the low-traffic forums. ;) Anyway, I can't actually add smileys to the database because I'm not an admin. Once things calm down and we're not constantly dealing with forum or server issues, I'll point Ran in this direction and he can make the call whether he wants to add another smiley to mix. :)

There's a thread about this in the Help section, but here's the short version explanation: We've turned off that functionality until traffic dies down a bit. Otherwise, the forum would be experiencing SQL errors pretty much constantly. Once things calm, that functionality will be restored. :)

[mod] Keep it civil, please. [/mod] Further, there are already threads available in the book forums to discuss The Question of Arya's Mental State. Please take them there.

Continue the discussion. Remember, keep it civil and classy.

sorry about all of those consecutive posts. We have a limit to the number of smileys per post, which I totally forgot about until it rejected my original post. :tantrum:

Are you going to WorldCon? It's not often that one happens in one's city of residence. :)

We know that a lot of fans out there have their own ASOIAF or GoT fansites, blogs, podcasts, art, etc, and some of you are very eager to share them with us. That's awesome! We've created this thread so that you can post links to your website here. Please do not post threads elsewhere on the boards about your site -- those will be deleted. You may put a link in your signature as well, but please abide by the rules regarding signatures, which can be found in the Board Style Guide. Please don't "bump" the thread. It is already stickied to the top of the forum and doesn't need it. Please do not link to fanfic. GRRM does not support fanfic of his work. We will respect his wishes in this matter and will delete any links to ASOIAF or GoT fanfic sites. As a courtesy to others, please indicate if your site has book spoilers (this is for those who have only seen the HBO series), or is somehow NSFW.
