I've never read a fan fiction and I don't intend to start now.

Unpopular opinion - I couldn't even get past the first GoT novel because GRRM's writing is so bad. I have a veeeeery low tolerance for bad writing and I can't imagine somebody on the internet recycling another author's characters is doing better than the guy who inspired a multimillion dollar HBO series

/shrug, I'd say LW is at least on par with Rowling as an author in terms of stylistic writing ability. He's a pretty brilliant guy outside of the HPMOR project. But then, I also didn't have too much a problem reading all the ASoiaF books.

ETA: here is the Wikipedia page for the guy who writes HPMOR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliezer_Yudkowsky

Checking in, as I hear GoT talk. Yes, GRRM needs a better editor. The Dunk and Egg novellas are really great, though - when he's free of weaving a whole universe of plot threads together, he still shines.

Bearlyalive · Post by **Bearlyalive** » Thu May 12, 2016 3:12 pm

Gah, I really need to read the novellas. I keep meaning to, but I always end up forgetting.

I felt exactly the same way about fan fiction until last week and, to be honest, I think hpmor is better written than the originals. Better character development, more emotional resonance, more realism. But I didn't have a problem with GRRM's writing so this could just be a different strokes for different folks situation. If you ever feel like giving fanfic a chance, this one won me over so I'd say it'd be a good choice. If not, there's plenty of books on the shelves. I'll stop pushing and go back to my reading now.

Help. I have to be at work for 2 hours and 15 minutes longer. I don't have any work to do or any bullshit meetings to waste time in. What do I do?
