I have always been an avid reader but not a fantasy/sci-fi reader until I started to listen to your audio podcast, I came by the way of Buzz Out Loud. Listening to ya'll talk about the Game of Thrones so much made me decide I had to give a shot, well I started reading them in July and am over half way through the 5th book now we are also watching the HBO series. I wanted to thank you for introducing me to such a great series that I otherwise would have missed and to send you some pictures that I think of every time the talk about the old gods in the weirwood trees. http://www.flickr.com/photos/82006512@N00/8037943720/in/photostream/ These pictures are from Orr Park in Montevallo, Alabama were a local artist by the name of Tingle has been carving in the deadwood trees since at least 1993. Just had to share these pics with ya'll.
Love the show,

RE: Where I get my ideas from:
I take a look at some current book releases, and see if they use themes that folks (particularly newcomers, like I suspect most Kirkus Reviews reader are) might find confusing. Some of the entries emerge because they are related to other terms. Then I mine definitions from various sources: the sf encyclopedia, books like Brave New Words [Prucher] an Science in Science Fiction [Bly], and yes, the Internet.
