Comment on A Clever Plan

    I know I have said this before, but GRRM is such a mediocre writer in so many aspects. SO much of his "plot" is a pieced together shit quilt where things happen because.....he needs them to. To say his work is plot driven rather than character driven is the world's biggest understatement. HOW that hack has managed to create so many amazing characters ---chief amongst them our girl Sansa ---is dumbfounding and, I suspect, despite himself.

      In a way, the volume of fanfic for his universe validates your point. People want to read stories with these characters, but not necessarily this plot. Obvs a good % of any fanfic base will always be self-indulgent and romance/smut driven, but take that away and you're left with plot divergence or fix-its.

      Can we just acknowledge how weird it is that there is one inn (the inn at the crossroads) that everyone ends up meeting at? I have this image of its innkeepers for hundreds of years going all Don Corleone on any competing inns.

        It's that Masha and Willow Heddle.....fuck with them at your own peril. It is known.
