I would actually consider pointing people to that one.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I understand the author set up a journal where he asked people in the fanfic community for input, and he was vetted by someone with the Organization for Transformative Works.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
In one of those minus-breadcrumbs sideslips through FoF journals, I came upon this rather lengthy essay on fandom and fic. It starts out about the western, which I know is anathema to many, but only to use the demise of the western to illustrate the possible, even probable course of fandom, and fic, in the future. I thought some might find it interesting. It's here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does GRRM have a stated stance on fanart?

Because books.
Didn't the Time article say he was okay with fanfic? I can't remember now, but if he's okay with that, he's probably fine with art, too. Or I would assume so.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
GRRM is not particularly okay with fanfic, no. Unless he's changed his stance recently.
