It would also not be a bad idea to glance over some of the other application posts to see what sorts of things worked; for example, here's mine. And you don't have to worry about not being sorted - everyone who's applied thus far has been sorted.

The Dance goes ever on and on...I've gone through all of the analysis articles on towerofthehand.com and it no longer slakes my thirst for information. Jon's parentage: settled question. Coldhands: still waaaay open. 'The dragon has three heads': 2.5 out of 3 (or 83.3% sure)
I'm sure some of you have heard about the 'GRRM hates fanfic' arguments from the last two weeks, but this piece on io9 laid down something I hadn't though of: http://io9.com/5535558/is-fan-fiction-really-so-wrongFear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering-Yoda
The more bizzare a thing, the less mysterious it proves to be-Sherlock Holmes
I reject your reality and substitute my own-Adam Savage
A person is smart. People are stupid, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it-Agent Kay
That is the exploration that awaits you�not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence-Q
Church: I learned a very valuable lesson in my travels, Tucker. No matter how bad things might seem...
Caboose: They could be worse?
Church: Nope, no matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things f***ing are, and you better get used to it Nancy. Quit-yer-b****ing.
If you smoke, you choke. If you choke, you're dead. 'Nuff said.

Originally posted by magictrick View PostHe should be in the next book, A Dance with Dragons. It was originally supposed to be just one book, but he split it out into 2, Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons. Of course, Dance was supposed to be released in 2009, and it doesn't look like GRRM is even close to finishing it eithersigpic

Think I'm probably the only one that didn't like this series? Found it too dark/borderline drag and the politics too silly. Then again I find all politics too silly. Wheel of Time was good for like the first four books or three and the latest one. He won't kill off dragon chick. Invested too much time in the characters, unlike the ones he has already killed off. Can't believe he made her lesbian (yes I know, not fully), million bucks say he won't write the opposite angle of a male gay character, so I just think that it was some "guy fantasy" thing. I'm a guy and I didn't like it.

When I was reading these I always checked ahead to see the next time Jon, or Jaime would have a chapter. I also checked ahead for Bran's chapters.
I'm gonna have to add my vote of ASoIaF being better than WoT. I felt that Eye of the World was basically a re-write of Sword of Shannara and although I enjoyed the first five books (particularly three!) I kind of fell of for me after that (The Crossroads one was absolutely terrible IMO) and I don't think I'll bother to finish. (Yeah I know it's just one more book. I'm lazy, shoot me).
Spoiler:Besides my favourite character died in five ( )and Rand got annoying, even though I knew it was pretty realistic; the arrogance and what have you. So...yeah
I do intend to finish ASoIaF, eventually, but I'm not going to bother until he's done writing. (What can I say? Cliffhangers kill me, I can't wait any longer!). I haven't even read the fourth one...A feast for Crows?
...I guess Harry Potter put me off waiting for sequels. It was half my life!
