servethe_Realm Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello all!My names Sarah, I'm new to these forums. I was attempting to post a few days ago which only ended in frusturation because I was not yet approved. So now here I am saying hi. I'm a fan who caught on to the books via the HBO series. However, don't judge me for this, please. I went on to read every book in about a month and am now just starting to re-read A Clash of Kings.Look forward to posting with and getting to know you all.Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Sansa Stark Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Hello ASOIAF fans,My name is Shukri and new to this site since yesterday. I discovered this site yesterday and made an account right away. I figured this novel series out by the HBO Series and except reading the wikia page how my favorite characters end up so far in the novels. I hardly read the novels. Don't worry I am gonna start soon, in fact I will probably read Game of Thrones today. As you read in my nickname I am a big Sansa fan; she is the number one character I devotedly adore. If Martin uses Sansa to his maximum - And I mean her potential as successful queen - then I am going to react so fangirlish gleefull ; besides her I love Jon Snow, Arya Stark and Jaime Lannister. And though I despise Petyr Baelish I am very intrigued by him and his brilliant scheming. Edited February 1, 2012 by QueenSansaStark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to point that actually, there are some bards you can trust.I would say that depends on who you are.

Robin Of House Hill Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hello, m'Lords, m'Ladies, good Sers, and those without titles. I'm more than half way through the third of the series and must say this looks like a pleasant place to converse with those of similar likings.

Ygrette Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi everyone,I am Stephanie from Finland (so yeah I definitely know what they mean by "winter is coming"), I run a small private horse farm and enjoy listening to books while I'm tending to the horses, walking or sledding with my dogs or go riding. The forest is THE one best place to be listening to ASoIaF. Especially when it's crisp cold.When I first heard of the TV series (I'm a severe series addict) I didn't want to watch it. Intrigues, kings, lords, ladies, *YAAAAWN* - and all that blood and snow and depressive setting of the first episode... but I am a devoted wife to my finnish husband and so I endured another 1-2 episodes to make him happy... and was hooked. When the first season ended I knew he had already read most of the books, so I went back and forth between "TELL me!" and "NO, wait! Don't tell me!" so he made me read on before his urge to kill me would overwhelm him. And so I am now almost still a virgin having finished ACoK and just starting off with ASoS, gnawing off my fingernails and running into doors all the time, because I can't stop listening.I keep chatting with myself in my head and before I end up like Jaime Lannister I thought it might be wise to somewhat socialize. So here I am.Oh and before you say anything: YES, I am now aware that the character is written "Ygritte". Did I mention I have the audiobook version? Please bear with me - it even took me hours to figure out the difference between the wildling woman in Winterfell and Theon's sister! :-PGreetings,Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolorous Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hello everyone!My name is Gina and I live in California. I've been lurking the board ever since I finished reading ADWD so I'm excited to meet everyone and hopefully learn a little more about the books :) I learned about ASOIAF through the TV series, Game of Thrones. I remember watching the first episode when it first aired and being so apathetic to it but I gave it another chance about a month ago and I loved it. I enjoyed the books even more and now I'm completely hooked :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plem Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hey everyone! I've been lurking around here for quite some time now, but today I decided to join in on the fun. I'm from Austria and I've discovered the books after watching Game of Thrones on HBO. My favorite characters are Dany, Tyrion, Sansa, Davos and Jaime, though I enjoy pretty much everyone else too in one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentina Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hello!I'm Florentina and I'm from Austria, too . I'm reading the 2nd part in german right now and watched the HBO-series last week. I'm so upset about the new german translation, they turned all the names into german, so everything sounds like a bad joke. They even turned "Lannister" into "Lennister" for the new version (bad done AND useless :bawl: ) and they don't go on with the old translation for ADWD and theres also no chance to get the rest of the books in the original translation (that means not for a realistic price). So I decided to read the rest in english and I thought it was pretty good to join this forum before, so that I get used to the names and don't mix them up.I started reading the series because I heard a lot about GRRM every time it came to fantasy, so I wanted to know what that guy writes. In the end the series was a lot better than I've expected :bowdown: The thing that suprised me most were the characters. I've hardly ever read a book with so well done characters. My favs are Arya, Jon, Dany and Tyrion, but Arya got plastic for me in the HBO-series and I see her in a different light now. Probably because the actress is such a cute girl :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluCypressLily Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hello! My name is Abby and I'm relatively new to the Ice & Fire world. I actually discovered the books after the HBO series came out, having heard nothing of the TV show...I saw the 4-book boxed set on Amazon and thought it might be something that I'd enjoy. I purchased it thinking that it was a 4-part series and, needless to say, I've now read all of them and am (im)patiently waiting for the next book.I've been lurking for a couple of good weeks and this looks like a good community--looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Strings reborn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hey,My name is Nick and I've read through the series a few times now and started reading back in 2002. I've been lurking around the board for a long time and have actually been posting for about 5 years under the name Strings albeit very infrequently. Over that 5 year span I only put up about 500 posts and went through long periods of inactivity, the latest being the last 6 months. I have some free time again and decided to get back into being a little more active but my password is apparently lost in the mists of time and the school email attached to it is now gone as I've been out of school a while now.I'm an American from upstate New York but I've been living in Prague for about a year now. I work as an English teacher mainly for children ages 7-17 and I've actually come to really love the job. I plan on being a lot more active in my second life but I stick mainly to off topic and Literature. I tend to avoid general as most of the discussions have already been done countless times and I'm afraid I add very little new insight. I'm sure I'll post there a bit more when season two of GOT comes out as well as eventually when future books are published.With that I'd just like to say that you're a great community here and I look forward to getting to know you all a little better in my second life. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
