I apologize that I don't delve into the theories at all so can't help you find anything you haven't seen already while lurking. What I can do is point out the games forum pages - we're a pretty friendly community and easy to join through games. There's even a tree decorating thread up now. Hope to see you there. Thank you! I will definitely check out the games forum pages. honeyed chicken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illythyrra Eldin Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Hello, I am the new girl! Glad to finally be here. New to the series of books, and have not watched the tv series. Actually, I have the first 5 books, but have not yet started reading them, so I had some trouble making an account here because they asked a question about what family animal, or something like that for the Starks. Had to look it up online while praying that I would not see spoilers of any kind! Anyway, that's all for me, see ya around, hopefully! PS: for some reason my avatar looks really blurry, but did not when I uploaded it to gravatar. Gotta say, I don't really like using gravatar, but ok I guess...

Xeno of Carcosa Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hi, love the TV show, have read Dunk & Egg and the Targaryen novellas, which I'm enjoying rereading as part of Fire and Blood (about 3/4 of the way through!). Great to see a traditional forum like this thriving! Illythyrra Eldin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceoftheTides Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hi to all! I am reader since the early 2000s, with a strange order of reading, my first book was the middle part of SoS (in Italy the book was divided into three parts), so basically I couldn't even get familiar with names that got the Red Weeding :-D I registered to the forum years ago but I only recently decided to become an active user :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another Arya ! Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hello ! Yet another Arya in this forum...as all the possible names in Essos and Westeros were used as screen names... I know the serie Game of Thrones for five years and I'm reading the books for a few months, right now I'm halfway through the second part of A Storm of Swords. The books opened a new dimension for me; they are much more detailed and entertaining -although I have from time to time to check some words in a dictionnay (I'm not an English native speaker). Thanks a lot for this forum, I only found it out yesterday and I learnt a lot of things (regarding the theories about Tansy, for instance).

Nice to see lots of new "faces". I expect as the final season of Game of Thrones airs, we'll see another wave of new folk. I personally am more book fan than show. How about you? I'm hoping that after the show is done, we'll get a announcement that TWOW (The Winds of Winter, 6th book in the series) is coming out before Xmas. In the meantime, I hang out on the games forum for things like "outrageous lies about the previous poster" and "acrophobia", a word game. Here's a game forum link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinescapeSean Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm more of a book fan myself. My wife and I stoped watching the series a few seasons ago but I eventually went back and got caught up. I'm also the host of a movie & TV talk podcast and am looking for experienced writers/bloggers to review new episodes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yet another Arya ! Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks Honeyed Chicken (a good recipe I guess) for your warm welcome! Reading for the first time ASOS is a pleasure, but the second time should be even better: I'm sure the books teem with tiny details you don't catch at the first reading, and regarding the characters it's like meeting again old friends (even the evil ones!). And the third reading...well I will see that in a few years (it took me 8 months to read the three first books!). I prefer the books (generally I prefer books to movies: for instance Harry Potter or LOTR) but I admired the quality of the TV version, especially the realism in clothes, food, places...and the music as well (with plain themes, but always efficient). I will try your games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try your games! Great! The more games people the better! Absolutely true that one finds new nuggets. What tends to happen on second reading is that a lot of details that were "interesting" but hard to gauge in importance become foreshadowing - "oh, I know where that's going to lead." There are so many bread crumb trails threading their way through the narrative and they come from such unexpected places. To some extent the show having galloped ahead of the books takes away a little bit of the suspense of some of the central mysteries. Oth, the show and book diverge enough that one is never really sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
