That is something I will have to think about. I have for a while been considering starting a youtube channel where I analyze GoT and other fiction, in a format similar to Game of Thrones Academy.

I am all for you reading these GoT/ASoIaF essays you’ve created! I walk around and ride the bus where I live often and prefer to listen to audiobooks while going out. I strongly think that if you made your essays in MP3 format (or uploaded you reading it to youtube), I would listen to them over and over again.
Be wary of making a channel on YouTube though right now though, there’s a “battle” of fair use going on right now there. If you don’t know about it, it’s basically channels who are trying to make some money off their creations (that fall under fair use) having their money stolen by companies claiming their content. With the system YouTube created to help copyright holders claim people who don’t fall under fair use with their work, it’s easy for anyone to claim and steal the money. It’s a hassle. However, if you don’t plan on monetizing should you create a channel there, then you may not have anything to worry about.

Absolutely brilliant. Please keep them coming. As far as the audio/video version, I own a production company if I could be of any use, let me know!

I keep check back every other week or so hoping you will continue. Any chance you will?

I think perhaps when we near season 7 or when TWOW comes out I might start writing again. Right now I’m sort of at a place where a lot of my theories are already out there. A lot of it really hinges on Bran and Bloodraven, and season 6 was actually really minimal in terms of how much they gave away with them, so I don’t have much new content to dig into at the moment on that front.
