You know, by now, I find that book-hardcore fandom almost as interesting as the books themselves. Some very weird dynamics there, even for genre-fandom-weirdness standards. Must be killing her that GoT is sweeping Emmies while aSoIaF can´t score Hugos. To George, all fine. He is a writer as well as a TV-scripter; he´ll gladly accept awards from both sides. But for Linda Dearest ? Tsk, tsk.

I'd never heard of this, konrad, so I went to check it out. She sued him for starting a resource guide. Not quite a weird thing to do as a fan. After all, Linda/Elio did just that but with Martin's blessing. And I agree, all fandoms have their quirks but the I really have never seen quirks like the ones in this fandom

Cogman , a graduate of Juilliard, is a bit of a Literati (like David and Dan). I miss his Q and A at (well now) Watchers on the Wall, he has been the best at that (at least I didn't see him do one for S4). I will note again , as long as accolades are being aired , Michele Clapton and Gemma Jackson (both GoT Emmy winners) , the art direction category was changed to OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION DESIGN FOR A NARRATIVE CONTEMPORARY OR FANTASY PROGRAM (ONE HOUR OR MORE), which Deborah Riley won. HBO has a magical touch with production design , I remember how good ROME was , or just about any costume drama they have done, it is a magical ingredient for them , also like the old MGM studios. Completely missed the back and forth between Brian and Linda but Brian is a class act through and through. What a lovely post and I know he did not name everyone (not gonna lie, happy to see him name Sean, Michelle and Rich) but he meant every single person past and present who contributed to this show and made it what it is. One of the other things I like about Cogman on twitter is that he will tweet about how proud he is a various cast members when they get other roles and compliment them on the things they do well outside of GoT. He's like the proud Dad of everyone on the show.

Or at least it feels that way to me because I was a teenager during it, and now I can look back on it as an adult and admit how catty it was. I'm sure there's weird stuff in every fandom. The worst sub group I've encountered have been within The Walking Dead's fandom. I think ASOIAF fandom in general has some really interesting opinions, but yeah...still some weird shit. I hear the Supernatural fandom is pretty intense.

That blog post totally proves GRRM's secret hate of D&D Seriously, great blog post from him and I love the fact that he and Bryan Cogman make a point of saying this best drama series Emmy is not only for those who work on the show now but for everyone past and present who made the show what it is today. Classy, in my book. Edit to add: The Outlander fandom is super intense. I dipped into that briefly and decided if I wanted to keep on liking the show and the books, I needed to limit my exposure to it, same with the TWD online fandom.
