i think the next WW will be fough over GRRM lying to the fans,or allowing his " go to folks" to release information with his blessing.Would folks be able to differentiate between what Elio and Linda did from what GRRM did? Or is it going to be one big shit storm for GRRM? Those are excellent questions. If GRRM is asked directly in an interview how some of that wacky fapp stuff got in, which doesn't even have a maester POV to use as an excuse, I wonder what he will say.

That would be some interview.He has two alternatives the way i see it. 1.Let Elio and Linda fall on their own swords so to speak or 2.Bail them out by saying they were free to do what they wanted with 'HIS' series,his world??? 3. Bail them out by saying what they wrote represents the in world misconceptions and wrong information. 4. Elio and Linda can say they knew all along this was the case and just capitalized on this???

If I had to guess, they wrote what they believed to be true... but GRRM did not read it or correct it because he was more interested in his lunch. Or the Jets game. Or the Sad Puppies.

It'll one big shit storm for both Martin, and the fans that have been fighting with RLJers. Tell the truth, it's Elio and Linda that I'd feel most sorry for, precisely because the die hard fans will not be able to differentiate between their interpretation and what Martin actually did. Very true...The app has come up again on the If Lyanna as TKOTLT thread.I'm just trying to get a straight answer from people like Sweets and Ygrain on who wrote the freaking app they so praise.I'm wondering why GRRM hasn't told them they should stop this,you would think that seeing as they've been with him so long he might give them a piece of advice. I think Elio and Linda provide disinformation for George, which he happily allows because he truly wants his readers to be surprised at the conclusion of the story. In numerous interviews he has stated that he and his mom used to watch tv shows like the Twilight Zone together, and his mom could always figure out the twist endings. He said he wanted to write a story that would fool readers like his mom. Once he said that quote, it pretty much cemented in my mind that R + L = J was a ruse, to get readers to pat themselves on the back at how clever they were only to be truly surprised at the end.
So in my mind, either Elio and Linda are useful idiots for George, or they are intentionally throwing out disinformation.

I'm not so sure it will turn out poorly for Westeros. Westeros will be all fired up again if media news is anything to go by. Bad news is good news for the ratings. Media hounds will be all over the website looking for answers.

This is where my thinking is at.They believe they have an understanding regarding a mystery and just built details around that.
