    "A Song of Ice and Fire" stories

    The Wheel Unbroken has a lot of potential. I wouldn't go so far as to call it good quite yet, though. The author has written a lot already, but as said above, it still feels really short. That's probably because of the [SPOILER] It feels like the story's not out of the prologue yet.

    As with all things, Jon can be legitimate if someone with enough power says that he is. Details, then, become unimportant.

    True enough. Though with all the hell that Ned goes through in canon it was surprisingly refreshing to read through something where he beats them all. I agree that it would get boring in a longer story. In general, there are few -- if any -- good Ned stories out there.

    I always prefer characters to be interesting...which might be the reason why I think a Ned who's not the typical "honorable and noble" type he is in canon would be interesting. Which reminds me: anyone know stories like that?

    Yes, Jon Arryn wasn't really honorable. That doesn't mean that he didn't project that image to his foster children and everyone else who didn't look closer. You could always find reasons to foster Ned somewhere. Though if you really want to put him through hell, then just have Aerys' paranoia make him a hostage to his father's good behavior in KL. Then, let him go home after Harrenhal for whatever reason and let canon events sweep over the world. Perhaps make Ned resent Brandon for his...

    In the Vale by "honorable" Lord Arryn. That's what fanfiction is for. Give him to another lord for fostering, say Tyrell, or give him some other experience that influences his character. Ned Stark wasn't born honorable. Nurture made it so. Also, add an ambitious Catelyn who he is in love with and perhaps a fight with his brother Brandon before everything went to hell, and I'm sure he could rationalize his way to the conclusion that he is the best Warden of the North and not a little...

    That's an interesting thought. But, really, why make Jon or Ben the bad guy? Let's have a Southern!Ned married to Catelyn and Jon as the trueborn son of Brandon and Ashara (whirlwind romance and married with enough Northern witnesses but without Rickard's approval). Then you'd have the -- perhaps reluctantly -- usurping second son in Ned with a wife from a powerful Riverlander family, who obviously won't want to give up the whole North to baby Jon.

    I meant not a North that is better necessarily but a North that is visibly different in some way from canon, be it in culture, magic or whatnot. And, yeah, I know what you mean with the ASOIAF TLs on ASB, but I think we approach ASB a bit differently. When I go to AH, I'm not looking for superior character development or writing technique - though no doubt there are some TLs which have them - but for butterflies, technical development, etc. I'm not approaching TLs as stories but as TLs...

    Eh, I'm not gonna nitpick since the story is only starting. Besides, TLs on AH can be a bit different from usual stories and from all the other TLs I've seen there, I can at least be reasonably sure that the author isn't just throwing around numbers. Besides, it's something different from the usual ASOIAF stories. Or do you know a story with a similar premise, Hash?

    Yeah, the North is very, very strong. I guess it all depends on how strong the South is and how the author manages this strength. Still, even if it goes the HFY route, I think it's a nice story to follow. Sometimes curb stomps are exactly what the doctor ordered - though, who knows how this will turn out...

    You might want to try this one: http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=344835 It's just starting but the North is already a very different one to canon and the Northmen were definitely more focused on the North than on the South. The Wall is also fully manned.

    Kelly C? I'm not quite sure which sibling pair you mean, as there are a lot of them that Robert wants out of the picture. Needless to say, he'll not suffer threats to his throne. As for Varys...well, he's doing his thing behind the scenes, as always.

    Let's just say that this is not a fix-fic. If the circumstances demand it, nobody will be safe. That said, it's not canon either, where just because your name happens to be "Stark" and you're not a complete scumbag, you're gonna die.

    To me, she always came across as foolish and young. Really, a lot like a wilder Sansa. And which girl at that age doesn't dream of a handsome prince? It probably helped that he was pretty much the opposite of Robert. But that she wasn't affected by her brother and father's deaths at all? I'd like to think that she wasn't so selfish and at least partly took the blame for that.

    Well, I can understand that. My head-canon is pretty much this: she didn't want to get married to Robert and was pretty much a rebellious teenager, and suddenly there he is: the handsome prince promising her the world and more. Being as rash as she is, she goes with him, and for a time the world is really so great and beautiful as he promised. Then come the consequences. She hears of the fate of her family, realizes that she made a mistake and tries to go back. But her prince wants to keep...

    Wait, what?:confused: In my story, at least, she went with him willingly at first, but then tried to go back. There are many reasons for a young girl in Lyanna's position to do so (charming prince, pressures of her position, lovesick fool) but then realized that reality wasn't so nice. I really don't get your problem. IC, she was always a rash girl.

    Hmm...yeah, I can understand that leaving your enemies in charge is a bad idea. I remember I read the other story of that author - the one where some Starks are sent back into their past - but I gave up after a while. I don't even know why. Well, if you guys want a different take on the whole Greyjoy thing: I've been writing an ASOIAF story myself, if you're interested to check it out. At this point, the Greyjoy Rebellion is over. Apart from that, are there any good recs right now?...

    You should try reading Ender's Game. It's pretty good. The latter books get a bit too philosophical for my taste, but Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow are good. The latter even better than the former, IMO.

    All good arguments. It's still a bit curious, because ASOIAF is a setting that has much more loathsome characters than the Tullys.

    Well, I would guess that it's because he's her husband and Lord of Winterfell. He has power over her and hating him would be quite counterproductive to Cat being his wife. Jon, OTOH, is a young bastard whose only protection is Ned. I think she's only focusing her hatred on the only target left to her, even though he has no blame in this situation. He also reminds her of her husband's deed.

    Well, there are not that many alternatives in people's minds, probably. SanSan is...well, more Beauty and Beast, if you dig the whole "man with a tragic past that someone has to heal" thing. Nobody aside from the Starks is truly White Knight material and doing a Robb/Sansa pairing is probably too incestuous for a lot of people. Jon's fairly popular in the fandom, still (probably?) alive and fits the role. His only problem is the Stark blood and that can be mitigated somewhat by making R+L =...
