Interrailing through Westeros

[oneiriad]

I am only about halfway through A Storm of Swords and I haven't even gotten around to sitting down and watching the first episode of the tv series (tomorrow, methinks - except the weather's really too good for watching tv-series, summer having finally come), but I'm well and truly sold. Mostly because of Tyrion. This past year has taught me that I apparently have a thing for short, smart and occasionally snarky. Anyone have anything corresponding that to rec me?

Also, being a bad girl following a link by way of wikipedia to a preview chapter from A Dance with Dragons, and I didn't so much read as just scan it, because I didn't spoil myself too much, but now I'm left shipping Tyrion / Daenerys so hard it's not even funny. I have no idea if they'll even meet, and it's not even that I want them to be an OTP as such - it's just, his brains and her sheer determination and charisma. I want that. I want to see them team up and kick everybody else's arses, because seriously, the books are a good story, but dammit, sympathetic characters are few and far between (not that I mind - oh, no). Making the whole more like historical novels than fantasy, in some ways...



Apart from that - am I the only one waiting for the inevitable hizzy fit from Mr. Martin??? (considering his opinions back during the Diana Gabaldon clusterfuck, once the fangirls get going with the tv series - after all, as previously stated: Sean Bean + leather pants = fangirls. And slash. (And LotR crossover fic, unless I miss my guess...)

Okay, so I totally tracked you down from the kinkmeme. I too ship Dany/Tyrion like fire and am hunting down all possible other fans. Hi!
