Over The Past Couple Of Years, I've Gotten Many PMs, Emails, AO3 Comments Saying Something To The Effect
Over the past couple of years, I've gotten many PMs, emails, AO3 comments saying something to the effect of...."Oh you must really love Game of Thrones, right? Your username!" And I'd would just politely demur, to their puzzlement.
It's true, I've been 'khaleesian' since 2000. I started reading ASOIAF in 1997. But I have not willingly watched past S1 of Game of Thrones, despite my friends and complete strangers saying 'Why ever not? It's so goood! Why don't you watch?'
And it's been rough, biting my tongue, not wanting to inadvertently spoil anyone...but finally I can just smile and say: "That's why."

Alright, first things first, WARNINGS, in various combinations: possible spoilers, slavery, racial slurs, war, Holocaust references, implied underage, implied incest, intoxication, underage drinking.
Problem: want to create something, but don’t feel like drawing. Solution: make mock book designs of favourite fanfics for type practice. Consider this to be the cousin of this series. Typography isn’t my forte, but hopefully there shouldn’t be too many atrocious choices made there. Do drop a note if that isn’t the case OTL In retrospect, most of these would probably not make very good covers because they’re on the understated side, but then again, I wouldn’t want curious visitors going through my bookshelves to get too curious either.
Links to the fics: 10th Century Boys series by khaleesian - Powered historical AU with VIKINGS. You can’t go wrong with that.
Father Charles series by Yahtzee - Sensitively-written, non-preachy, non-bashing fic on religion? Yes, that is possible. Also one of the very few kidfics I enjoy reading in this fandom, which is quite a feat tbh.
fool me once, fool me twice by musical emjay - Two broken people in a quietly destructive relationship. Will rip your heart to shreds.
A Deeper Season by etirabys - Will also rip your heart to shreds, but will attempt to patch it up afterwards.
Hmmmmmmmmmm

What: Tumblr Fic War
Who: Anyone who reblogs this post.
When: Until everyone is actualfax dead, because this is WAR suckers!
Why: FEELINGS
What: Everyone who reblogs this post is opening their ask box up to the most brutal, feelings-inducing prompts anyone who is playing can imagine. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take those prompts and DESTROY EVERYONE with them. Not just angsty stuff either, fluff can be just as bad, as many of you know!
In-ter-esting......
1 - 2 - 3 - 4, I declare a fic war!
Let’s see if girls run Tumblr :)
REBLOG this if you're a female
Wow, this is such excellent meta....perfectly encapsulates some of the wrongness I've been trying to articulate to myself since I started reading the books back in 1998.

Seeing this post reminds me that someone I’ve known for years, and who has a rather expensive college degree, said these exact words to me in regard to ASOIAF/Game of Thrones this past Tuesday at a gaming tournament:
"Things were just like that back then.”
There were not...
I'm a fan.
