As a morally sound Cowboys fan I would love a copy!

Will enter! If I don't win, I'm getting a copy anyway for my Kobo ereader. Speaking of, they haven't posted it to their site yet...hope the pre-order goes up soon!
[I own your Ice and Fire books in hardback, and will get the remaining ones as such.]

Thanks George!

Can a winner be outside of the US? I'm from across the pond (England), and was just wondering whether it would be shipped to me (as I know it's hilariously pricey) if I did win?

Can't way for this anthology, absolutely loved Dangerous Women!

Please talk to your publishers about making sure ASoF&I is available in large print. Some fans are older and have visibility issues. Thank you.

Take my money--just take it!

Like alot of fans I didn't used to appreciate shorter works. I'd long (and especially multi-volume) epics so I can get comfortable and know the characters. Short stories can be a bit difficult to get into because you are constantly meeting new characters and new writing styles.

I have started to appreciate this. I get in and out. If I don't like something then I didn't waste alot of time. I am finding that I am discovering new authors with these multi-author anthologies. I have also found that authors write somewhat differently in short stories. They tend to have a bit of a twist to it. These kinds of things don't really work in longer novels. However, when its a get in and get out type of thing, they work very well.

I encourage people to read these kinds of anthologies. Its a great way to get a taste of new authors. Some of you may find this difficult to believe, but this is how I discovered Robert Silverberg. I was not in tune with the SF community at the time (not really involved now either) and had no idea who he was in the late 1990s. I bought the first legends book for the Robert Jordan story and in part for George's story. While I enjoyed those, I already knew those authors. I really enjoyed Silverberg's Marjipoor story. It got me to read alot more of his work. I probably wouldn't have ended up reading him at all if not for that anthology.

I have made a decision that when I get a new anthology I am going to read the authors I have not read first. So I can explore new authors, then if I like the story, google them and see what else they have done.

I should also add that was a great sample!

Yourself, Daniel Abraham, Patrick Rothfuss, Steven Erikson and Brandon Sanderson are my favourite authors in the fantasy field!

Oh cool. New one from Scott Lynch as well.

I pre-ordered Rouges yesterday. I'm so excited to read these! The previous anthologies have been a great introduction to authors I wasn't familiar with (and others I already love).

"And a new game of thrones story"? Is that really necessary? :/ Ruined the cover for me. Same with World of ice and fire cover where "Game of thrones" is written larger than it should be. >_

Hey I have never read the Kingkiller chronicle, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I should read it before I read the lightning tree in rogues. Thanks!

Have you seen the story about google maps giving directions for your dragon? I have a link to the story but can't put it in here or it will get marked as spam. It is on the nbc web site.

Hy mister Martin, i do a History masters dissertation about the representation of War of Roses in litteratury. I have chosen Shakespeare, Nicholas Rowe and you.Your books change my life, my point of view on the world. Thank you so much, you're a genius.
