(Spoilers Extended) George was a successful author well before he became a TV writer. There has consistently been, & there still are, comments that assert that he got his start as a TV writer. In fact, George had already won 2 Nebula Awards, 3 Hugo Awards & 8 Locus Awards before he ever wrote for TV

Posted by tyrion2024 · in r/asoiaf · 7 days ago

In 1991, George was struck with a vivid idea of a boy witnessing a man's beheading and finding direwolves in the "summer snows". This idea was the impetus for him to begin writing ASOIAF. Although, his journey to that moment didn't start with him writing TV in Hollywood, it started 20 years prior with him writing science fiction short stories. Selected works by George before his time in TV:

1971 - "The Hero", the first story he sold was published in Galaxy magazine
1974 - A Song For Lya, a novella that won the Hugo for Best Novella
1975 - The Storms of Windhaven, a novella he cowrote with Lisa Tuttle which won the Locus Award for Best Novella.
1977 - Dying of the Light, his first novel was published
1979 - Sandkings, a novelette that won the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Locus Award for Best Novelette.
1980 - Nightflyers, a novella that won the Locus Award for Best Novella. It was adapted into a movie in 1987 with a screenplay co-written by George.
1980 - "The Way of Cross and Dragon", a short story that won a Locus and a Hugo
1982 - Fevre Dream, his second novel was a surprise hit. Critic Don D'Amassa wrote, "This is without question one of the greatest vampire novels of all time."
1983 - The Armageddon Rag, his follow-up novel had a big marketing push behind it because of Fevre Dream's success, but flopped ('big' for an unknown author)
1986 - Tuf Voyaging, a collection of 7 novellas/novelettes. After the failure of The Armageddon Rag, all the editors in the industry rejected his next novel Black and White and Red All Over (which he was in the process of writing at the time), so desperate for money, he accepted an offer to write this collection of Haviland Tuf adventures.

But before George began writing the sequel, he got an offer from a producer who wanted to adapt The Armageddon Rag into a film. While that film adaptation was never made, he stayed in touch with the producer and when that person became the producer for the revival of The Twilight Zone, George was offered a job as a writer. And since working for TV paid a lot better than writing literature, he decided to move to Hollywood to seek a new career. He ended up primarily working on these three TV series:

1986 - The Twilight Zone (revival), wrote 5 episodes
1987 - Max Headroom, wrote multiple scripts, but the series was canceled before they were filmed
1987-1990 - Beauty and the Beast, wrote 14 episodes
1991 - George was frustrated that his pilots and screenplays were not getting made and that TV production budgets & episode lengths were forcing him to cut characters and trim battle scenes. This pushed him back into writing books, where he didn't have to worry about anything compromising the size of his imagination. In the summer of 1991, George began writing A Game of Thrones, but this was interrupted for a few years when he returned to Hollywood to produce and write the pilot for...
1993 - Doorways, which was filmed, but ultimately never aired
1994 - George gave his agent the first 200 pages of A Game of Thrones and never looked back.

I apologize for the delayed response. I first saw your comment while I was at work on Friday, but completely forgot to reply when I left work.

>He was the head writer and showrunner for beauty and the beast, not just any random writer.

The first part is simply not true. While it's true that George ended up well above the position of a basic staff writer, he was never the head writer or showrunner for Beauty and the Beast. Ron Koslow was the creator and showrunner, as George talks about here.

George also wasn't an executive producer, however he was promoted from executive story editor all the way up to co-executive producer by the show's end. He cites each title he held on Beauty and The Beast here:

>...my next staff job was BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. They brought me on as Executive Story Editor, one bump up from my TZ rank. Over the next three years, I climbed the ladder, rung by rung: Co-Producer, Producer, Co-Supervising Producer, Supervising Producer, Co-Executive Producer.

George was absolutely a major creative force on the show, but he did not have creative control. Koslow did (aside from the network). He was the primary creative force. George was still playing in his sandbox. George even said that a lot of his creative contribution to the show was with the secondary and tertiary characters (e.g. the people of the Underground).

I'm not sure where the idea of George being the showrunner came from, but I've seen it commented many times. Do you remember where you heard it from? My best guess is that it's the result of the online telephone game run amok to some degree.

And regarding Linda Hamilton's exit from the show.

>they killed that charecter off becuase the actress got pregnant,

This also is just not true. It was closer to the other way around. When Linda Hamilton got pregnant, she decided to leave the show, so Koslow and the writers decided to handle it by killing off her character. George talked about the decision they had to make after finding out that Hamilton was leaving.

>What can you tell me about the final season of the show and its cancellation?
Well, Linda Hamilton left the show. I think Linda was as surprised as anybody when the show got picked up. Everybody agreed it was a beautiful pilot but, as I said, they didn’t expect it to go. We were not a megahit but we were a pretty popular show. We were winning our time slot in the first season. But I think Linda wanted to get back to doing films, and she also wanted a child. I won’t go into all the legalities of contracts and things like that, but when the opportunity came to leave the show, she left the show.
Which puts you in a difficult situation.
We had a decision to make which was not of our choosing: We could either recast the part of Catherine Chandler with another actress; or we could write Catherine Chandler out of the show by killing her, which is what we chose to do; or we could come up with an alternative, like suddenly she had to move to Australia. We actually considered the moving to Australia thing, but that seemed like a feeble ending for a tragic love story. “I’m sorry. I said I’d love you for all time, but now I have a good job opportunity in Melbourne.” So that would not have worked. Our choice was really between recasting and death, and we chose death because that was inherently more dramatic.

Everything I know about GRRM's time on Beauty and the Beast was from redteamreview/Preston Jacob's podcasts and videos I listened to, where they reference how delusional George is flying out to hbo hq begging for 12-13 seasons of GoT and how he's been the same level of delusional as to how tv works. That behavior isn't far off from the 'spend all of season 3 mourning' story. What you have written sounds way more believable that the silly portrayal of George they often bring up lol

Don't forget And Seven Times Never Kill Man!, a novelette first published in the July 1975 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact and was nominated for the Hugo Award and Locus Award for Best Novelette.

Some would argue it's one of his best stories, and inspired a lot of the future content of ASOAIF (particularly the background of the conflict between the Children and Andals)

Ya he was nominated for a Hugo 15 times before writing GoT. Hugos are the preeminent awards for sci-fi and fantasy literature.

Also 10 times, before writing GoT, for a Nebula, the other “big/major” awards for sci-fi and fantasy literature.

And 41 times, before writing GoT, for a Locus, which is a longstanding magazine subscriber voted award, which I’d say is more meaningful than modern fan voted awards if clearly less prestigious than critic awards, but gives a good idea at how Martin was viewed by the actual audience/public.

I highly recommend reading or listening on audible the book "Dreamsongs (Unabridged Selections) it goes over a lot of his short stories and has him himself talk about his timeline and the eras of his books and why he wrote what he wrote, what he was feeling.

Posted by Revolutionary263 · in r/ZimbabweLGBTQ · 9 days ago

So of note there is HBO's Looking which is an old series but its full blown gay. I just love it and have repeated it time and time again. I don't know why they only gave it one season!

Youngins is so beautiful 😍. South Africa 🇿🇦 is so ahead in terms of their film industry yoh.

Inxeba the Wound. Beautiful movie 🎬, it made me cry though 😢

Domina a historical period piece but that has a LGBTQ theme. Its an epic and it requires some patience but its beautiful especially the second season

The Righteous Gemstones 💎 Yoh guys that is a beautiful show and if you are a Christian i encourage you to watch it

Power Book Ghost. An old one but its one worth watching

Oh and everyone knows Game of Thrones and House of Dragon 🐉 i believe

There are so many other beautiful shows on Showmax but i wanted to highlight the gay ones

Yeah you cannot natively access Showmax in the United States due to geo-restrictions based on licensing agreements. However, you can watch Showmax in the US by using a VPN service, which masks your IP address to appear as if you are in a region where Showmax is available. Coz Showmax is just $5 per month it would destroy US streaming business

Educational tv shows that isn’t Cocomelon etc? More specifically looking for something geared towards alphabets/word recognition shows.

Posted by Direct-Geologist-407 · in r/toddlers · 10 days ago

First of all we’re minimal screen time in my house, but our landlord dropped the bomb on us that someone wants to come tour the house that we’re currently renting so it’s a ton of organizing and extra cleaning that needs to get done before that planned visit. I’m the SAHP so I’m trying be to get a lot done for my spouse to not stress about as they get home from work.

So my kids (almost 4yo twins, 2 yo) will be getting more than enough screen time this week. One of my kids still have a bit of trouble recognizing some of the alphabets so looking for shows that geared more towards that, besides Sesame Street are there any other shows that focus on those? Just like how Number Blocks is geared towards counting.
