Ngaphambi kokuba abhale uthotho lweencwadi zakhe ezaziwayo ngoku, Ingoma ye-Ice noMlilo , UGeorge R. R. Martin wabhala iziqephu ezininzi kuthotho Omhle kunye nesilwanyana , eneenkwenkwezi URon Perlman kwaye U-Linda Hamilton . Kwaye ngoku i CW ubhengeze i qalisa kwakhona kolu thotho, UMartin ulinganisile kumdlalo omtsha, kwaye uxolile kancinci ukuba khange aboniswane. Kwaye, akangomntu othanda ukuqala kwakhona, kwaye iqela lokuqala kunye nabasebenzi babenethemba lokuhlangana kwakhona kumdlalo bhanyabhanya. (Umonakalisi ongonakalisiyo: ayizukwenzeka loo nto.)
UMartin ugcina i Ijenali ekwi-intanethi (engafanele iphazanyiswe ngebhlog), kwaye phezolo, uxoxe ngendibano engaqhelekanga eyenzekileyo kunye nabadlali kunye Omhle kunye nesilwanyana , kubandakanya uPerman, Hamilton, U-Armin Shimmerman , umqambi UDon davis , umvelisi UDavid Schwartz , abanye ababhali UAlex Gansa kwaye UWoward Gordon (aBantwana) kunye nabafazi babo, kwaye ke umyili we-B & B kunye nombonisi, URon Koslow (ngubani ongakhangeleki ukuba uneminyaka emdala ukusukela oko umboniso waphelayo, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka abe nomfanekiso kwigumbi lakhe eliphezulu). Apho, bathetha malunga nokuba akukho namnye kubo owayexelelwe ngomboniso omtsha, kunye nendlela aqinisekile ngayo ngamanye amagama asetyenzisiweyo ukuchaza umboniso omtsha, njengenkqubo yenkqubo kunye nokwenza okwangoku, kwaye into uMartin ayixabisileyo ngokwenene ngalo mboniso indlela ezazingaphelelwa lixesha ngayo amabali kunye nolungiselelo. Uyakuphepha ukubhala ababhali abatsha ngokupheleleyo, esithi iziqinisekiso zabo zibonakala zilungile. Kodwa ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla, uMartin ukhusele kakhulu malunga noluhlu alubhalileyo ukusuka ngo-1987 ukuya ku-1990:
… [G] ngamandla, andingomntu othanda ukuqala kwakhona. Andibazi ababhali ababakhethileyo, kodwa kubonakala ngathi baneziqinisekiso ezilungileyo. Ndiyathemba ukuba balubonile uthotho lwantlandlolo. Ndiyathemba ukuba bayayithanda njengathi. Ndiyathemba ukuba bayayigcina ifantasy, umhlaba wonke wetonela, hayi irhamncwa kuphela. Ndiyathemba ukuba bagcina uBawo kunye neMouse kunye noJamie noPascal nabo bonke abanye abalinganiswa esibahleli nabo iitonela. Kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba bayayigcina imibongo: iisonethi, ukufundwa okuvela kuShelley kunye noKeats kunye noKipling, uthando olunzulu lweencwadi kunye namagama kunye noncwadi olwaluyinxalenye yeVincent.
Uninzi lwazo zonke, ndiyathemba ukuba bayigcina ihlakaniphile.
Kodwa kufuneka ndivume, isibhengezo sindenza ndiphakuzele.
Ngokuphathelele umboniso bhanyabhanya, le yayiyinto yonke yabadlali kunye nabasebenzi ababenethemba lokuba iyakwenzeka emva kokuba umboniso urhoxisiwe emva kwamaxesha amabini nje (kunye nokutyunjwa kwabasixhenxe bakaEmmy, iimpumelelo ezimbini), kodwa ngokucacileyo, loo mathemba aya kuhlala enjalo. UMartin uthi mhlawumbi akanasizathu sokoyika, mhlawumbi ukuqala kwakhona kuya kuba ngokuhambelana noko IdabiStar Galactica okanye Inkwenkwezi yetrek . Kodwa ngaba unelungelo lonke lokukhusela umntwana wakhe? Ngokupheleleyo. Okwangoku, uneliso elibukhali lokugcina ngaphezulu Imidlalo yeethrone .
Kodwa kwakhona, kupholile kangakanani ukuba uGeorge R. R. Martin wayexhonywe kunye nabo bonke abo bantu? Nje ndihleli? Owu, ukuba yimpukane kolo donga!
