ASOIAF #1: Who are Jon Snow's parents?
Aug. 5th, 2013 11:31 amI'm totally into theorizing about ASOIAF right now, and I have a looooooot to talk about, so in order not to overwhelm any casually interested people with one giant post, and also to make myself get back into a rhythm of posting more often, I'm going to go through one topic a day. :D
These talks will, of course, be spoilery (though I will keep my topic titles as spoiler-free as possible)... I'm really bad at remembering what happens when, so all comments I make will be in danger of spoiling for books 1-5, seasons 1-3 of the show, and also the 3 Dunk and Egg novellas that are set ~100 years before the events of A Game of Thrones. I don't know why it took me so long to read those novellas, btw. I absolutely loved them. The events of ASOIAF are really exciting and awesome, but there's a lot of Seriousness, since Important Things Are Happening. The Dunk and Egg novellas are a lot more lighthearted, but equally fun to read.
OK, onto the first topic! We'll start with an easy one. ( Who are Jon Snow's parents? )
