'Game Of Thrones' Author George R. R. Martin Answers Fans ...

209 Fans 06:24 AM on 07/ 29/2011 I have just started the first book in ASOFAI; having very much enjoyed the HBO series.
. . .
What if they're guessing correctly?" he says, "What if they come up with better ideas than the ones I have, do I steal them?"As a result, he stays away -- though apparently fans come up and whisper their theories in his ear at signings.
. . .
Rowling always knew HP would end with Harry defeating Voldemort.
. . .
Martin is sitting in a brown cap and flowered shirt as he's introduced.
. . .
The author needs to know where the story will end from day one.
. . .
"An awful lot of fantasy, and even some great fantasy, falls into the mistake of assuming that a good man will be a good king, that all that is necessary is to be a decent human being and when you're king everything will go swimmingly."Even Tolkien, who he respects greatly ("All modern fantasy flows from Tolkien, he says), has this problem.

John Hodgman interviews George R.R. Martin | PRI.ORG

Martin is the author a series of fantasy books which was recently adapted for the acclaimed HBO show "A Game of Thrones." Story from The Sound of Young America.
. . .
With the Seven, instead, you have The Father, The Mother, The Maiden, The Crone, The Smith, The Warrior, and a Strangers, who's the death figure.That's the general process for doing fantasy, is you have to root it in reality.
. . .
Not a lot of fantasy aspect to it in the sense that it is set in an alternate world, or made up world.GEORGE R.R.
. . .
Then you play with it a little; then you add the imaginative element, then you make it largely bigger.
. . .
MARTIN: Secondary universe, Tolkien called it.JOHN HODGMAN: We'll call it a secondary universe, that's a term I came up with for it independently just now.
. . .
In my kind of cross-genre/genre-bending kind of way was to go, you know, what I'd like to do is write an epic fantasy that had the imagination and the sense of wonder that you get in the best fantasy, but the gritty realism of the best historical fiction.

George R.R. Martin: An American Tolkien for a Jaded Age - TIME

Westeros is in chaos; it's a political jigsaw puzzle, and somebody just turned the table over, and everybody is on the floor scrabbling for pieces.
. . .
Tyrion is another good example of what separates Tolkien and Martin.
. . .
Like Wagner, he gives each of his characters leitmotifs that recur and recur in their streams of thought.
. . .
As the daughter of Aerys Targaryen, the last (mostly) uncontested king of Westeros, Daenerys has one of the better claims to the throne.

George R.R. Martin - Game of Thrones Wiki

After consulting with his friend and Wild Cards collaborator Daniel Abraham, Martin decided to split the book by character, with approximately half appearing in Crows and half in the follow-up.
. . .
Despite very strong sales to start with, by the mid-1990s interest was on the wane and after a relaunch with a new published proved unsuccessful, the series was 'rested', although occasional new books slipped out in 2002 and 2006.
. . .
The first season was produced between July and December 2010 and began airing on 17 April 2011.
