Hello everyone I met at LonCon and everyone I didn't. I'm Dave and I'm Malt's brother. Apparently I already had an account here although I have no posts and no idea why I was signed up before.

Sounds like you might have had some help. ;)

Welcome to Westeros Denvek! :cheers:

Hi.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Taking advantage of a slow work from home day to catch up on all the latest crackpot theories. I loves 'um I do.

Welcome lurker! :cheers:

Almost all of us lurked a little at first.

and

Crackpot theories are fun, it is known.

But Westeros has all sorts of other fun things to distract you from work. What do you like: fantasy sports? Chatting with friends? Word games?

I spend most of my time in forum games (http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/forum/18-forum-games/) and we love fresh meat new faces :P

Yup - he's called Sherlock. Bassett Hound/Border Collie cross.

He looks like a Sherlock - the Basil Rathbone Holmes, not Cumberbatch. :)

As a teen I had a border collie/beagle cross, named Grizzly. She was as much fun as she was trouble (loved chasing deer).

We were hoping for the docile nature of a basset with the intellect of a collie. Got a hyper idiot dog instead but we love him anyway.

Looking back at the last few posts and thinking friends... tch, wish I knew what real friends were.

Anyway, a more positive note, hello!

I'm 20 years old and from a small city in England and currently studying Law at the University of Manchester.. and it's astonishing how many people automatically assume I'm very smart, the common reaction being 'Ooh look at you, doing Law!' It's not all honour and glory though, I keep having existential crises!

Anyway, I enjoy anime, manga (I'm still a noob though) and reading in general more than anything, and writing fan fiction although that is currently on hold. I don't get as much time to read anymore and after putting ASOIAF off for so long because a friend said I might find it confusing at first, I'm so absorbed into the series that I can't even remember the last book I read before the series..

That being said I've finished all the books, it took me about two weeks to read them all and I enjoyed them immensely.. one of the best series I've read in a long time and completely different to anything I've ever read. While fantasy is a common genre most books usually revolve around a main character and a set of sub-characters with a main aim by the end but here there are a series of POVs with no real 'ending' in sight which makes it unique to say the least.

Also the strange thing is I have no ships at all, I usually ship someone or the other :P

My favourite characters are Jon Snow, Tyrion and Samwell Tarly. Dany was one but not too sure now...

TV series, halfway through season one and my favourite scene so far is the one with Sam and Jon in it talking about girls, Sam is like 'You didn't know where to put it did you?' Then discussion about bastards and then a moment and silence and... 'You really didn't know where to put it, did you?' Good God that cracked me right up xD Tv sam is even funnier than book sam but I love both.

Right, I've rambled on too much so if you have any questions for me or wanna talk to me or w.e go ahead cause I don't bite.. unless you're made out of cake ;) Also can someone kindly tell me if there is a writers' sub forum round here as I'd love to showcase some fan fiction. I have a lovely little idea for a GoT FF.

Well here's to hoping I meet some lovely people round here :)

Welcome Nymeria10K! :cheers:

You're now the second person on Westeros I know from the UK who is a law student. I have made the other aware of you - so you may well hear something soon.

You haven't shipped any one in ASOIAF yet?! :eek: Let me tell you, others are not so reticent. I will not say more because I'm not a shipper anyway. But it is not hard to find some who will gladly indulge in a little shipping. :P

Samwell is a great character. Love him to pieces and is it John Bradley that plays him? Forget the name, but he's very good too.

As for writing and sharing your writing - it's true that it is not done here, but I do know other writers on Westeros and I have seen their work (non ASOIAF based). :ninja:

Welcome, Nymeria! Westeros is an awesome place, but we frown on ASoIaF fan fiction. In fact, it's a big no-no.

Welcome! :)

Some draw the fan fiction line at hypothesizing about the R+L plot line which I find a little drastic, but that's just one man's opinion . .. .

Call it "Sandor", then.

Hello everyone

Welcome Dragelsnart!

Valar Morghulis!

Valar dohaerys.

Friends, you will probably find out. It is love, a bit like you and your siblings, parents, the good and helpful neighbours. That kind of love, only you cannot choose those, but with friends, you can. Studies have shown, the earlier you start, and the more you sit close to them, like in school, class, repetitorium, the closer you get. Got it? :-)

Law may be somthing dull, but only tell your friends. The others should continue admiring you for what you do, right? ;)

Welcome, Nymeria! Westeros is an awesome place, but we frown on ASoIaF fan fiction. In fact, it's a big no-no.

That said, there are numerous writers on the board. As I am only part time a technical writer and a lousy one on top of that, I had no notion to go figuring out where to look for a writers forum. But tell us what we or at least I have missed.

Hi everyone!



My name's Dan, i'm Scottish and study Civil Engineering in Edinburgh. I'm a massive GoT fan. I have to be honest I have not read the books (yet) but i'm a massive fan of the show. It's easily my favourite show. My fav characters are Barristan Selmy, Jorah Mormont, Bronn and Margaery Tyrell.



I also collect autographs from the show and have quite a few which can be seen here: http://dans-autographs.jimdo.com/game-of-thrones-1/



A couple of days ago I met Jack Gleeson after going to see his show at the Edinburgh Fringe and he is one of the most nicest people I've met. Really nice to talk to and was chatting away to everyone. He was really happy to have a photo with me and he even signed a few photos for me before shaking my hand and saying goodbye. Great guy!
