Sandy Clegg Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) What's a classic thread (not one of your own) that you think people should check out, and why? I thought this might be a nice idea, seeing as this forum has such a huge back catalogue and many old posters are no longer active. So, I found this old thread, begun by @Kingmonkey, that begins by imagining how the Dunk & Egg stories tie in thematically to the main series: It basically shows how the Tower of Joy echoes throughout the story in versions great and small. Great thread all round, with lots to chew on. Edited March 26 by Sandy Clegg House Cambodia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Cambodia Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Terrific idea. I've recently returned after a full re-read of the corpus, so I've missed a few years of threads. Hope this catches on - it's timely for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 One of my favorites was which expanded into, oh, six or seven threads. Interesting and fun, and were started 10 years ago. Loved those threads. Sandy Clegg and Wizz-The-Smith 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot is made at the end of Dany choosing to be Dragon, rather than Mhysa, but to me, it’s a case of both/and, rather than either/or. A good leader has to be both Mhysa and Dragon, on occasion. Striving too hard for peace in Meereen, nearly led to disaster. States don’t launch armadas, and bring thousands of soldiers onto your soil, because they want peace. People rarely lay down the whip, unless they are compelled to. And a “peace” that can only be secured by allowing people to be eaten by lions for the amusement of sadists, is a peace that is not worth having.

Some of the rereads by those posters are excellent and well worth reading. They did some good work on those rereads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club-foot cleft-lips Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I read this one a long while before I joined. I probably don't have the perspective to know whats classic, but I though it was good. Sandy Clegg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
