May George RR Martin have mercy on my soul. I'm new to fanfiction, though I can't imagine it takes much more than a little creativity, boundless love for a fictional universe, and libertine view towards copyright law. I plan on only writing a single fanfic "epic", building upon (amateurishly, of course) the worlds of Westeros, Essos, and what have you. I must stress this with the up-most sincerity: I do not own any of this, be it from GRRM or any other work of a different medium that I shameless borrow from. Honestly, I started writing on a whim after thumbing through some quality work posted by countless writers, really just digging what this whole fan fiction thing is about. I'm a first year law student (ironic, right?), so can't make any promises on when I'll be able to post.

Please post any comments, critiques, or any outpouring of unchained fanaticism for my prose. I've never written short stories before, and though I love reading, my experience with truly creative writing is limited (like I said, I ended up in law school). Please be patient with my punctuation, formatting, and general grammatical errors for I am only human. I understand that the internet is modern equivalent to the Hobbesian state-of-nature; therefore, I fully accept--hell, I even welcome--the occasional trolling, just try not to be a dick about it.

Abidingly yours,

The Stranger In the Alps
