    It’s there. Honestly, one of the highlights of the piece is watching the author’s skill improve over the course of it. Overall it has its good and bad.

    So I generally like spectre4hire’s writing. But they have some flaws common to every piece they write. The biggest of these is that the dialogue always feels the same for every character and just doesn’t flow terribly well. It’s like listening to a kid get up in front of a class and read Shakespeare in the same faux English accent for every line. They also have the same male protagonist for every story. Sure, it might be Domeric Bolton in one, but it’s the same flat character as Daeron...

    There’s plenty of good stuff on AH. Perfidious Albion, for example has stuff that is top tier quality in both the story and technical side. But those are the gems. The vast majority is absolute bottom tier shit. Take CaekDaemon, his ideas are cool, but he can’t write for shit and never improves or takes any criticism well. That said, isn’t summer crowns that one where Bobby B and Ned go to essos? Not a bad read, IIRC, but I really couldn’t get past the scene of Brandon banishing Ned...

    Tbh, I’ve basically gotten to the point where I avoid anything with Arya as a major focus because of how the fandom treats her character. The “super smart super capable badass girl way ahead of her time” schtick isn’t really fun to read even once, letalone literally everywhere.

    You pretty much read through all the foreshadowing and then stopped where it all started to pan out. There are changes, lots of little ones that are slowly adding up to something, though I’m not sure what. I really do recommend the read, though. It’s a little slow, but Dwelling has a spectacular knack for writing characters and really hits it on the head with this one.

    Dwellingondreams has another excellent piece. I’ve only just started it, but so far it’s up to the author’s usual standard of excellence in both technical and stylistic aspects of the writing. The update rate is also, as per usual from this author, phenomenal; it was posted in July and currently has ~150k words. Quick and dirty summary is this: Domeric Bolton is born female. Usually these aren’t terribly interesting as the authors don’t tend to actually try and change the plot, but I...

    Mostly this: For what it’s worth, though, I really liked that sequence at the end of this latest chapter. It was a good ending to a long loop and really did a nice job bringing the whole arc to a satisfactory conclusion while leaving some breadcrumbs for us to follow into the future.

    Probably. I really like how it’s developing. Seems a little fast, if the Raven is the ultimate enemy, but I’m getting the impression that he’s just the most visible one. The magic component he’s started working into lately is pretty interesting. Very in-theme for hate to feature as a component of skin changing.

    He had a good thing going with the creepy ethereal Sansa shit. Should have kept with that kind of thing for the end, IMO. But his writing is damn good at this point. The imagery is impressive.

    Pretty much this. There aren’t many true ‘single point of divergence’ pieces that really do anything original. It tends to be “something changes” and everything else is the same, because we aren’t actually plotting.

    The issue is the author basically equates sex to love and yet maintains that Lyanna hates Arthur all the way to like chapter 27 or something. There is never really a single indication of this beyond chapter 10 besides the author's say so.

    This, is the biggest issue in the piece and makes the whole thing fall apart. The first 10 chapters were fairly good, IMO. They had a compelling Man V. Self conflict in the form of Lyanna dealing with the desires of her body vs. that of her mind. Though, I’m not sure the author understands that hate sex exists. Dayne’s Siblings could have been the turning point where it pivoted into turning Dayne against Rhaegar with Ashara’s apparent background making for a perfect parallel or...

    Alright. I just got done rereading this, and for all the technical quality, I am extremely disappointed. It starts off with some interesting changes to canon and the ongoing plot of Jon changing things and becoming the Promised Prince. I even enjoyed the unique interpretation of the Nissa Nissa prophecy. Then Jon spends a long time doing absolutely nothing and in the meantime, the author deliberately forces everything that happened in canon back roughly the way it was for no discernible...

    No, that’s there. It’s one of the critical turning points for her character, but is creepy as fuck when you think for a sec and associate her age. Kind of like the rest of ASOIAF. Martin really should have kept with the time skip.

    Age doesn’t even need to come into the equation as far as Rhaegar and Lyanna are concerned. It just doesn’t logically add up to “true love, here take my baby we named after his other son.” If she is living in fantasy land, then when she hears about her father and brother being killed for her sake, she would probably want to leave. Or at the very least, regret everything she’s done. If Rhaegar never tells her about her father and brother and still has sex with her, that’s rape. (Informed...

    It’s been three months since his injury and he isn’t dead. I think he’ll keep on carrying on. I really did like that symbolism. Spitting in the eye, indeed. I mean, you have to realize that canon can’t be a love story. Either she’s a naive girl that ran away with her fantasies and she’ll come crashing down to reality, or Rhaegar raped her. I don’t hate her character at all. The fandom just tends to love their Disney fairytales. Sure, Martin could have gone the way of the show, but if...

    This just keeps getting better and better. Dwellingondreams has really done an excellent job realistically fleshing out characters we so rarely have a chance to see, and that the fandom has a habit of demonizing or lionizing. Elia and Lyanna are particularly fun to read, treading on the edge of madness as they both are and drawn together by their shared point of animosity. Really, I think the only drawback is Rhaegar, who continues to be a bland character who’s only purpose seems to be...

    You’re setting some pretty weird lines here man. I mean, slash in any fandom is almost universally terrible. So we can just ignore it. Jon/Sansa and Jon/Dany is about 90% of the fandom. Some of it is decent. I don’t know what pieces you’re reading, but even most everything in this thread is one of those. Harems are retarded.

    So long as I avoid the slash, I’m usually ok with it if the writing is decent, which it is. If you’re gonna avoid any mention of incest at all besides the Lannister’s and targaryens, you’re gonna avoid basically every ASOIAF fic that is even halfway decent.

    The False and the Fair I’ve been reading this over the long weekend and it just updated Monday. Basic premise is a genderswapped Jon. That’s also the piss poor summary from AO3. But if all of the Jon genderswaps, this is the best I’ve read. She also isn’t named Joanna, so +1 for that. It’s well written, and most of the characters follow their canon selves. There are a few things that stick out and drag the piece down, and one of them is Tywin. His character flaws are so egregiously...

    So that fic has been posted multiple times and always keeps getting shot down. It apparently draws a lot from Marco Polo (the show) and a few other places. Personally? I’ve always liked it. The writing is technically sound (mostly), the prose is consistent, the characters are distinct and well developed, and the world building is wonderful. A 5/5 from me.

    Alright, so Snowfall has been updating recently. (Latest chapter) The fic as a whole is surprisingly good from a quality standpoint, but I’m just getting bored with it. The twists and conflicts are repetitive, Jon’s actions are unimaginative and predictable, and his character hasn’t grown or developed at all. Every single mistake he has made he continues to make, over and over and over. Every single conflict or event in the plot has the same formula: Jon realizes something, Jon goes...

    There was actually an entertaining one where some neckbeard ends up in the body of Lyanna Stark after she gives birth to Jon. It didn’t really get far enough to do any sort of uplift, but what what was there was fairly entertaining. (Some stuff about the old gods) It also dove headfirst into the idea that Lyanna was not a willing bride, which was more than a little horrifying, but plausible and unique. Fics where Lyanna survived Jon’s birth and don’t involve Rheagar living are a bit of a...

    So, I just read my way through this to the most recent update, and I’ve got to say, the author has done a spectacular job with the world building. If I hadn’t already known these characters, it would be seamless. Not to mention he absolutely hooked me with the flash forward scene to 280 AC. I started reading it, realized what was going on, put on the Dark Knight soundtrack from Nolan’s movies and ... well, it was pretty perfect.
