As a fan of the books, the answer is to make peace with Winds of Winter never coming out and enjoy ASOIAF for what it is 🫠
The true answer is to write Winds of Winter (Fanfic time)
I believe there IS at least one fan project to write TWoW lol, haven’t read it yet. The thing is that (according to GRRM) TWoW will be when we finally learn what the deal is with The Others and learn more about Valyria than we ever have before. So that alone isn’t an easy task. The way the show did this was extremely underwhelming and by-the-numbers.
If it were my version I’d definitely make it so that the Targs sold out Valyria to the Faceless Men because they grew to abhor slavery and wanted to be big fish in a little pond in Westeros. I think it’s basically canon already.
The fan project is by Preston Jacobs and includes all his theories as true.
I remember his got ending rewrite and how he had Qyburn poison Cersei while yapping about The Brave Companions and Oberyn and the Martells in like an 15 minute evul villain monologue and I just burst out laughing.
I did kinda like the first dany chapter though.
Right, Preston Jacobs is the author of those fics. He has some good theories but I can’t really get excited over these decisions lol so maybe I shouldn’t read this (who am i kidding, in like 5 months i’ll be so hungry for ASOIAF/TWoW post-HotD S3 that I probably will).
Oh well, back to my Lucifer Means Lightbringer videos (I’m a GEOTD truther and genuinely think if we get TWoW we’ll see some visions via Dany that confirms it, given how her visions in ACoK basically already does)
