I hope we can have more of them, and someday on equal ground.<br /><br />So since this article is about how GRRM changed your life, I feel I should talk about how he changed mine.<br /> <br />Aside from permanently skewing my view of incest (I was too young and pliant when I first read the books), yes, I'll have to agree with Adam. In some ways I feel fortunate that I was exposed to his work before almost any other fantasy written for adults, although that's also unfortunate because it means I've been able to truly enjoy very few other works in the genre. And now I use my spare time to write GRRM ripoffs instead of Tolkien ripoffs, so maybe that's a step towards finding my own voice.<br /><br />As for Ned, I don't think I reacted as violently. I don't believe I developed strong feelings for the series until the third or fourth book. But it's so long ago. I can hardly remember.Carrakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921977661733992333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-55079301643100718532011-05-31T13:15:11.383-04:002011-05-31T13:15:11.383-04:00Did you pace around your house thinking of great w...Did you pace around your house thinking of great ways to kill people that don't exist?
