garywest Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I was reading this article about top fan theories about A Song of Ice and Fire and it particularly references this forum as a source. And it sparked the question, which fan theories do you believe may come true? Obviously, none of these theories are canon, since they come from the minds of people reading the books, and we have yet to see the end game from the writer, but the fact that there are so many solid theories that can be pretty well fleshed out without contradicting something within the rest of the story is a very good sign that Martin has quite a good idea of where he is heading, and is maybe grappling with how to tie it all up. With that being said, which fan theories have you read and agree with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 GNCSansa as a playerAegon is a Blackfyre Off the top of my head, those three make the most sense to me, not only because of the evidence but because they are material for good storytelling and in tone with Martin's style IMHO.

LordStoneheart Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Tywin was poisoned is the ultimate theory for me. Took me by complete surprise and makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter's Knight Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Aegon is a BFSansa kills LF and ends up QitN.Stannis as the Night King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeaselPie Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 5. Jaime/Cersei's father is Aerys. No. I think Tyrion is more likely, if any of them are children of Aerys.4. Jojen paste. No. Not convinced, way too complicated.3. Young Griff is a Blackfyre. Another overly complicated theory. I think he is a Targ, but not in context of that theory.2. I am shutting up about Jon. I don't buy R+L=J.1. Jon will lead the WW against Dany. Yes, I can get behind this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Aegon Blackfyre and all the clues pointing to the blackfyres returning.Tywin poisoned by Oberyn or Varys.A lot of the GNC.Jojen-paste is, easily, the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordStoneheart Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 4. Jojen paste. No. Not convinced, way too complicated. What's complicated about it? It's actually pretty simple when I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon of the Dead Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 That I'm 99% sure are true: R + L = J Jon is not dead/is going to be resurrected Robert Strong is UnGregor Oathkeeper/Widow's Wail/Ice is Lightbringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Wow. I can't believe there are still people who don't accept R+L=J. Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I didn't even mention it because for me it's almost a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoIaF Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm playing it safe today:R+L=JAegon is a BlackfyreSansa kills LF and ends up QitN.Stannis as the Night KingIt would make me happy if these two happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I didn't even mention it because for me it's almost a fact. I'm sure there are people like me who formed an alternative to this popular fan-theory before joining the forums. I'm happy to be in the minority.

para Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Jon being Rhaegar's kid. GNC (even though I see it failing.) RobertUnGregorStrong. Arya's death foreshadowing. Southron ambitions.Things that are cool but won't ever matter or be revealed: Aegon's Blackfyre roots. Tywin's poisoning. Theories that provide an interesting alternative view on the story: heresy and Nedbert. (Robert harboring a unrequited, 'unmanly' crush on Ned would explain sooooo much about Robert that it beats actually any straight reading of the character. YMMV)Widely-held opinion I have problems with: Sansa's going to be s player because she's got to do something remarkable one of these days to justify her page count.

There are some smaller ones that seem pretty obvious like gravedigger = Hound and RS = Mountain. Things I don't want to believe but will probably be true.
