I’m pretty sure that is already set in stone, and i certainly hope enthusiasm for the series gets his fat ass writing book six soon. ---

> [@JCorre](#): > > This reminds me of an interview of GRRM I saw once when he relayed an interesting anecdote. > > He said that sometimes he’ll have fans come up to him and tell him how they’ve named pets (and sometimes even children) after characters in the books. His response is always (to the effect of) “I wish you hadn’t done that. You never know what they’ll end up doing. If you’re going to do that, wait until the character dies.” > > Meaning that all of his characters are shades of grey. Despicable ones might turn out to be very moral and vice versa. Good advice for real-world people as well, actually. My university’s law school was named after the chairman of our board of trustees - after he went off on a very public, very racist rant, they had to change the name of the school. Best to wait to name things after people until they’re safely dead. ---

> [@drastic\_quench](#): > > Mighty thick irony, this zombie. Haha, true. Though is this actually a zombie? I thought they need to be older - this thread wasn’t dead, just resting a moment. Why, it’s feeling better! It feels like dancing! And it certainly doesn’t want to go on the cart. ---
