Me, too. I wonder how GRRM will fill that bit in, or if he won't. Particularly considering 'when we last saw our hero ...' . But, as a writer, I wondered about that bit of story telling. Would GRRM set up this story line so that the reader could fill it in, and then not confirm. What does that say about the narrative? Do we, as writers, have to tie up all loose ends or is it enough to give the reader all they need to do it themselves? And how could GRRM fill in this bit, anyway? Who knows who is there to tell?

Well, we already had our little "surprise" with the Targaryen @ the wall early in the series. I can't begin to speculate if he'll fill it in, or if he'll leave us hanging, or if he'll prove us hopelessly wrong, or if he'll pull a Jo Rowling and hand-wave important stuff in favor of other pet ideas. (Though I doubt the last one with him. He's too meticulous, and just subtle enough with the sign posting that I think we're onto something important.)
That's part of what I like about GRRM as an author: I, as a writer myself, can't out-think him. It's maddening and it's exciting as hell.

You forget - there is one person alive that was at the Tower of Joy when Lyanna died. (if its her of course) Howland Reed was the only survivor besides Ned Stark. And he's loyal to the Starks, his kids are with Bran now. If it comes down to it - he can say if its true.

***SPOILER****
So another spectulation - who is the real Azor Ahai reborn? Stannis? Dany? Or possibly someone who is thought dead who shall not be named for fear of spoiling? (and no, I don't mean Lord Voldomort!)

LOL
No question! It has to become a category.
Sorry, people, been flat out with RL here.
Please, do start a list of what you'd like to see added. I will have to do an update soon.
do.

Has Martin said "Yeah, what the hell, go ahead," or "Meh, I'd rather you didn't, but have more important things to do," about fan fic, or is he coming down like Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and the anti-fanfic authors?

Its not blocked on FF.net which usually stays up on that stuff. I think he's more like 'I don't like it' than DON'T DO IT.
Speaking of GOT - I need a beta. Do we have a beta request threads for the non-LOTR fandoms?

House Tulley is Catelyn Stark's father, brother, and sister. Her father's old, her brother's not ready to take his place yet (too young or sickly? I don't recall), and her sister has her own seat in a neighboring kingdom, as well as a child. |
Edmund(her brother) is just immature and irresponsible - not too young or sickly. Lysa (her sister) is batshit crazy besides having her own kingdom due ot her sickly child being the Lord after his father's death.

Meanwhile, the new king Robert Baratheon wanted to marry Eddard's sister, but (the implication at least) is that one of the Lannisters or their friends killed her to put Cersei in position to marry him instead. The Lannisters are cousins to the Targaryens a couple of generations back, and their father was Hand of the King to the Mad King, but they had a falling out as the king lost his faculties. |
I don't think the Lannisters murdered Lyanna Stark. They were too busy sacking King's Landing and killing Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's family (including his baby and 4 yr old daughter!) to prevent them from claiming the crown. The implication is that she died in childbirth and *SPOILER* they suspect that Jon snow is actually the son of her and Rhaegar and that Ned claimed him as his own to prevent him from being murdered like the rest of Rhaegar's children. There is a whole page with the theories and reasons behind the thinking.

That's pretty much it, HOWEVER he is on record saying a lot of very very very very very ugly things about fanfic authors.
Really ugly.
