Certain context and themes seem to have carried over to ASOIAF. (9) BEAUTY AND THE BEAST has several references to winter. These became the model for the IRON ISLES. (8) His book, WINDHAVEN, had a section of islands which were never explored. (7) Lodengarl asked about how the different bastard names came about: GRRM pretty much told us they weren't from anything Historical but that he really like the name, Jon Snow. So, basically it's best not to explain too much, have lots of mystery about it and be sure there's a price to pay for it. even the true power of the ring was never found out. there's very little screen magic in LOTR but only wonder and legends. (6) As he already said, Tolkien is his model for magic. (5) Prefers to keep some POV info second hand b/c it's true to life he has a big problem with some fantasy authors b/c you'll have three POVs or more in one chapter. he said (paraphrasing): "I like my readers to feel tears, horror, horny, hungry, in danger, exultation. (4) GRRM totally "puts on the skin" of the characters whoever it is easier said than done but not all authors truly do that. Thus, Sansa was created he ended by saying they have deep issues to work out. Sansa came about as a total opposite b/c too many of the Stark family members were getting along and familes aren't like that. (3) Arya was one of the first characters created. Well, I asked about his connection with Ned and at Starfall so he just said yes, we would, basically. (2) At the Berkeley meeting, I asked if we'd be able to meet Howland Reed and while he said that there wouldn't be a POV most likely, we would get to know more about the man and his connection/knowledge to the Tower of Joy and Ned at Starfall. so, we can argue about Rhaegar and Lyanna for the next several years he mentioned that it wouldn't be in #4 but it would be in #5 and on.

(1) I asked about getting more info about Jon's parentage at the Menlo Park Q&As. I told him that this series was the one that would make him a legend (not a big risk to say on my part!), he grinned and then told us about the information.įirst off, here are a few extra tidbits which most of you may not know: He didn't say anything about it until he talked about how some of his books didn't do well but now they're wanted b/c of ASOIAF. He wasn't too sure about seeing it as a movie since one book is too large for 2 hrs but he was hopeful of a miniseries like SHOGUN. Even better, at the GRRM meeting Lodengarl and I had with him, there were some Hollywood types he will be meeting with about the books.
