ACOUP essays on Game of Thrones

[Cthulhu.Science]

ACOUP is a blog by a military historian that discusses popular fiction and games from the standpoint of what history tells us pre-gunpowder societies were really like. ACOUP did a number of essays offering a deep dive into Game of Thrones.

Anyone interested in how to write (and not write) scenes that feel real (because they parallel reality) would enjoy all of the ACOUP essays.
Enjoy!

@Cthulhu.Science Thanks for the link. I just read the latest on The Dothraki and their inspirations, their culture, their goals, and their warfare. Interesting stuff and the conclusion is quite damning even though this is a fantasy story we're discussing.
