Apr. 14th, 2008 10:04 amGRRM says he's got to finish Dragons by June. I really hope he does. I live in constant (and very selfish) fear that the man may not live long enough to finish the saga.
I'm REALLY enjoying "The Farseer Trilogy" so far - despite my aversion to even picking it up because of Ms Hobb's rants. However - when I come to think about it, I rant a lot too, so .. It's sort of like a Mini Song of Ice and Fire, much more limited POV though, as it's first person and that's a safety net in a way because it's obvious that Fitz isn't DEAD as he's writing the book in his old age. The slashy subtext has just about turned into text now and I nearly fell out of bed yesterday when someone asked Fitz "are you his catamite?" but didn't clarify who he meant. I do like these sorts of mysteries. Fitz is certainly a lot dimmer than me though because he's already missed two major clues that I spotted and I was right whereas Fitz was going "bwuh?" on the reveal. Eek. I'm turning into a fantasy head. Not good. Next I'll be dressing as a very fat thief and going to conventions. There's no hope for me.
"My name is Earl" had prison snoggage in it too. *happy sigh*
A new protagonist leapt into my head this morning on the drive to work. I have no idea which era he belongs to yet, or what I'm going to do with him, what his name is or God knows where he came from but he's sitting in my frontal brain this morning disrupting all I do. *smites him.*
