Well, that’s probably the most deviations from the books’ plot in a single episode of Game of Thrones.

Now, I’m not saying that’s bad. In general I’ve been fairly satisfied with the changes to the story (with one admittedly very subjective exception). It is an adaptation, and those books are long, the plot is very complicated, and in general I think the changes have been understandable and have made for a better TV series than if it had remained unchanged.

But seeing as there were quite a few changes, I thought it’d be interesting to dissect them. (Needless to say, spoilers! Although I do try to be vague about book stuff).

I’d love it if you left comments over there, although it’s fine here too! :D

Hi there!
I'm also in the MDZS community and saw your post! I've added you, feel free to subscribe/add back at will. ^_^

I used to be very active on LJ but got a DW account when LJ got sold to Russia. This year, I've started reviving this journal again as I'm... kind of tired of all the social media sites and miss the conversation people used to have on journals. That just doesn't work so well on tumblr, and I don't get Twitter at all! I do have an account there for fandom stuff, though, that I use very sparingly. XD

Currently, I'm still completely in love with MDZS/CQL. I love Wangxian and have a soft spot for ChengQing, but I can get behind many pairings - 3Zun, SangCheng, NieLan, WQ/MianMian etc., I've likely read something for them. XD

I also really really miss the conversations we used to have on LJ. I look back fondly on breaking the layout when comment threads got too long!

I love wangxian in the novel, and I read a LOT of wx fics when I first read it, I just don't really feel the need to play with them and I think I had my fill of their fics. But you can pretty much assume they'll be a constant in the background of anything I come up with.

Haha yeah, good old times. XD
We had a read along for the first Engl. MDZS book, that was a lot of fun. I've now got the second German book already, but I'm waiting for the English one to read them silmutaneously. It#s super interesting to note some differences.

I never really wrote fic before CQL and now I've got ... three WiPs going. XD I've got sooo many fics saved, I'd love more time to read. XD

I used to write fic like 10 years ago (short one-shots) but hadn't for YEARS. It was actually rewatching Cardcaptor Sakura that brought me back to writing fic, but it was MDZS (well, ok, sangcheng) that made me write multi-chapter stuff.

Hello!!

I'm also a sangcheng shipper and I was also in the X/TB (and to a lesser extent the CCS one) fandom wayyyy back in the days. I also enjoy the current Wheel of Time TV series thought I wasn't hanging out in the fandom back when I was reading the books.

Hi!

Sangcheng <3 <3 <3

I miss X T____T

I actually was never in WoT fandom while reading the books for the first time either! When I first got online I'd already read most of the ones that were out, and I reread and finished the books before I got on ToT.
