Just saw GRRM's old drafts for AFFC and Sansa's arc in the book before some of her chapters were pushed to TWOW was supposed to be about her "resolve to be Sansa Stark (after her stint as Alayne in the Vale and after receiving some news from White Harbour) and take the North"

#sansa stark

#qitn

#for anyone still in doubt she is definitely going North

#preparing my popcorn for the chaos this would cause in some parts of the fandom

I just know that the 'Sansa isn't the Girl in Grey. A snowstorm is coming up" crowd is fuming mad at the recent revelation.

Master meta post

*** On Semi-Hiatus with my tumblr and my writing. I’ve become ill and need long treatment  and I’m not up to writing or engaging with the fandom much. I hope I’ll be up to at least writing fic soon.!***

Dear followers of this blog,

I’m sorry to tell everyone this but the original owner of this blog, my mother, has passed away at the end of November. I am her daughter and it was her wish that her Tumblr-Account doesn’t get deactivated just yet, so it is still possible to access her Metas and writing even after her passing. I know there are many who enjoyed her writing, her metas and her role in the fandom and that she will be missed. Everything on this blog and her AO3-Account, which is, as far as I know, linked on here, will remain online, as it was my mother’s wish. As of now, I will continue to manage her blog. I will not post anything new.

I want to thank everyone who made her fandoms a pleasant, fun and enriching experience that she wanted to participate in. She truly enjoyed it most of the time and I am glad she found a community. I am happy her writing and thoughts remain this way. I also want to express my condolences.

I want to ask you to please not send multiple messages or condolences to the inbox since I think it will be too much for me to manage. Comments should be fine.

Thank you!
