WAY OT: Reddit writes The Winds of Winter
Many fans of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series have become distraught that season 6 of Game of Thrones will be released before book 6. Because of this, the r/asoiaf subreddit decided to write their own version of TWOW, one word at a time.
Here's the finalized version:

And here's the word-by-word thread:

It's pretty great. NSFW text I suppose, so be warned.
That was the dumbest thing I have ever seen, but given that Reddit's userbase is the dumbest on the internet, it meets expectations.
Eh. Reddit has a good share of morons but a lot of good posters too. Just like, you know, every other place on the internet.
Except RCMB of course. 100% of those people are complete dolts.

Well, this is incredibly dumb, and upvoting your own post is not going to make people care any more than they already don't.
Part of me wants to say - and I can't recall with 100% certainty - that in previous iterations of the voting feature, you actually could not upvote your own stuff. That might have been confined to just replies, now that I think about it, but if you tried it would give you a message that told you the operation failed essentially. Of course, between the switch to karma, the restoration and recent failure of voting, you can't expect it to be fully as it was, for better or worse (views on this vary widely, of course).
I mean, for votes on the OP you can just click "voting details" and see who voted what. He upvoted his own post, and you don't even get or lose MGoPoints for votes on OPs.
It is not great. April Fools?
I'm HAPPY that TV is getting ahead of the books. I long ago gave up on Martin and his ability to simply finish the series. Not to mention the totally unreadable fourth book, and better (but still below the first three books) fifth book. As long as the TV guys know the story from him, I trust them more than Martin as this point.
While I agree with you I think this TV season might be rife with flashbacks and things of that nature. With, what, 10 episodes they could easily fluff some story lines, push a lot of flashbacks and give back story and not be too far ahead of the books. I feel their hope is that Winds is out this year sometime so they can then jump in full throttle for next season.
It's pretty great.
If he were here, Chuck Norris would slap you.

Reddit wrote jokingly, Reddit wrote sarcasticly, Reddit wrote pervertedly. And Reddit failed.
The big twist is that Jon Snow's parents are Ned and Wylla.
No they aren't. Its Hodor and a wildling!

I read that sub and love both GoT and ASoIaF, but that thread was dumb. Can't wait for April 24! Just over three weeks!
