/lit/ - Literature

GRRM is a good writer and I'm tired of pretending he's not

> a technique I learned in Hollywood, where my scripts were always too long. “This is too long,” the studio would say. “Trim it by eight pages.” But I hated to lose any good stuff — scenes, dialogue exchanges, bits of action — so instead I would go through the script trimming and tightening line by line and word by word, cutting out the fat and leaving the muscle. I found the process so valuable that I’ve done the same with all my books since leaving LA.

Is he better than Tolkien /lit/?
Is he /lit/ core?

KNEEL Tolkieks
GEORGE “LIQUID BRAP” MARTIN HAS WON!
The new king of /lit/!

73 years old and obese. Bros..

He never explained so much shit about his stuff and it was all fairy tale garbage. Like can Dwarves and elves even fuck?

Why didn't the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit show us how or if Hobbits have sex? Any real fantasy writer wouldn't have left such a huge plot hole.

>with that diet, add to every "squatting" a "shitting"

What was his shit plan?

>Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up, she was shitting brown water. The more she drank the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew.
Look at this disgusting freak of a man, jerking himself off to writing about women shitting, obviously smelling like body odor and cheetos and trash. How anyone even approached this filthy freak to give him a book deal is beyond me.

Why does he need to ask such disingenuous questions like ''What was Aragorns tax policy?'', as if he needs to justify writing the kind of fiction he does.

Tolkien was mostly interested in Cosmology, mythos and ethnogenesis. You clearly see this in The Silmarillion.

Every time this fat bastard opens his mouth about Tolkien it's clear he hasn't really bothered to read the material.
