I think a lot of people miss that ASOIAF is an attack on loving fantasy worlds. GRRM basically goes: “Hey, do you know how you would love to live in a fantasy land of knights and castles and maidens and all that? Well, you are an idiot, Feudalism is fucking horrific and you should feel ashamed for wishing for it. Look let me show you…”

ASOIAF, to me, is a love letter to democracy, equality and all the wonderful things we have, because it reminds you how horrendous a world without them is.

Welcome!

asoiafuniversity is an archival meta blog. This blog is for reblogging purposes only. Per our policy, we do not answer meta questions here.

If you have a question like:

“What do you think of ?”
“What is your opinion of ?”

we will not answer it here, sorry! If you want your question about the series answered, we recommend that you:

ask the OP (original author/poster) of the post that inspired your question, or
ask the question publicly on your blog and tag it with the relevant tags, or
send an ask to one of the people we’ve reblogged from who has discussed the subject you’re interested in, or
send an ask to our affiliate warsofasoiaf, or to one of our owners, such as nobodysuspectsthebutterfly, joannalannister, poorquentyn, or him-e.

All of the owners of asoiafuniversity frequently write meta. asongoftheories maintains a meta-writers rec list (currently under construction).

Please check our FAQ and our general tags page. We also have a comprehensive tags page with all of the tags used on the blog, and even a search page that can help you find any subject.

If you want to start an ASOIAF meta discussion on tumblr, we recommend you write the post on your own blog and tag it with relevant tags, such as the character name and #asoiaf meta. (Read more about the tag #asoiaf meta here.)

If you have a comment or suggestion and would prefer to ask anonymously, you can send an ask to our sideblog, askasoiafuniversity.

If you still need help or have a different kind of question, please ask away!
