Latest notes from GRRM's blog regarding ASoIaF on March 5th:


"I was startled looking at my website today when I saw the hit counter, which tells me the site has had more than 23 million hits since December of 2000.

Of course, I have to put that in perspective. It's really just the same forty-two people coming back again and again to see if DANCE is done yet, isn't it?

And try not to laugh TOO hard at the part where I say I hope to finish DANCE by the end of the year. I really meant it, honest."]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:35:32 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10359&PID=194864#194864 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=9753&PID=194863#194863 Author: SlimMackenzie

SPOILERS:

Maybe it was the 2nd one that was kind of slow.

The men are back in power and the women are no longer in control.

Are you liking the prophetic dreams about the rats and bats? I really got into that.

I really hate Elemak.

The Oversoul plays an important role in all 5 books so you will keep on enjoying him. I hope that's not a bad spoiler for you.

I loved Earthfall!

That was so funny about you standing against the wall! I'll have to try that sometime. Ha.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:15:00 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=11340&PID=194861#194861 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=9805&PID=194860#194860 Author: dnurse64

Finalexam was abducted by the pizza delivery guy in his short story.

Brotheroddkins was arrested for reckless use of a gun when he shot his computer.

Pattirose is locked up in a room reading just 3 pages of each of her books and trimming the big ones with her knife.

TheFirTree deleted himself out of existence which is a form of nirvana of the elite deletist group.

I went to the late feature of Wolfman last night and fell asleep about 20 times (seriously) during the movie. It was embarrassing. I have no idea if I liked it or not.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:04:16 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=9753&PID=194859#194859 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=9805&PID=194858#194858 Author: dnurse64

I'm here but I don't know about everybody else. I've been stuck inside the forum on the other side ever since I finally posted an image. I was trying to figure out what that white sphere is on the picture of the image of the icon tree above the post reply box. I thought it might be a pear. I got so close to the screen trying to look at it and the next thing I knew I was inside the picture. I climbed the tree and it was forbidden fruit and of course I ate it.It gave me special powers to travel inside cyberspace. I found a portal that took me to your computer and banged like heck on the other side of your screen and yelled "Slim!" but you couldn't hear me. I was trapped. It's been terrible. I'm out now. Don't mess with that icon. It's dangerous. Cyberspace is weirder then Wonderland. I finally found the security code that let me out. It was in the "out of body experiences" thread.


This site has been very slow again. I've been having trouble posting.

[QUOTE=dnurse64] The 3rd book is the one that might get a little slow but don't give up on it. Wait until you see all the names in that one. [QUOTE]

SPOILERS:

I didn't find the book slow at all. Maybe you meant all of the dialogue. I loved it.

Ahh, Elemak. I don't know what to say. He is going to be trouble. He kept teetering back and forth from the good guy to the bad guy, but it looks as if the bad guy is now here to stay. I was really hoping for him to be a good guy.

All the names...oh my god. The frustrating part is there is no "family tree" guide in the beginning that includes all these kids. I managed to keep up with them through the first round of offspring, now I think I am going mad. Hopefully EarthFall will clear things up in this regard.

I don't like the fact that the "all knowing" Oversoul is becoming "stupid". I know that is the plot of the story, but I have grown attached to it. That's kind of weird I know, but I hope I don't cry if and when it dies. lol.

I finished it last night standing up against my bedroom wall. I was falling asleep and I really wanted to finish it.

Next up is EarthFall. I will start that one tonight. I am excited.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:57:19 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=11340&PID=194856#194856 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10030&PID=194854#194854 Author: SlimMackenzie

I just finished THE SHIPS OF EARTH, volume 3 in the Homecoming Series. 8/10. I will post in the Other Authors thread.

Next up is EarthFall, which is volume 4 of the same series. I am having a great time with this saga. I was actually laughing out loud during some part of volume 3. The characters are phenomenal.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:46:15 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10030&PID=194854#194854
