Pored najava vezanih za PLiV, i prepiska sa fanovima zna da bude zanimljiva, kao ovo pismo meseca:
Čitalac: I'm something of an online gamer since my last role-playing group disbanded a year or two ago. I started a new character on World of Warcraft and took a jaunt through one of the forests in the game. As chance would have it, I came across a blond woman named Cercei. Granted, the spelling was off (in online gaming, names are hard to secure), but I had to take a chance because I just finished reading A Song of Ice and Fire up until Crows for the second time. I told her privately, "Valar Morghulis," and without even skipping a beat, she replied, "Valar Dohaeris." It was the closest thing to a secret society handshake I've ever learned.
Martin: Hey, I think you may be on to something here! What a great idea, a pick-up line for ICE & FIRE readers! Don't know what to say to that cute girl you just spotted at the con party? Just stroll up and whisper, "Valar Morghulis." If she replies, "Valar Dohaeris," you know you've got something in common, and you're off and running, talking about your favorite characters and the books in general and other books you've liked and... who knows where it will end? And if she gives you a blank look instead, that's good too. Either she doesn't read at all, or she's a Terry Goodkind fan, and you can move on and find someone else. It's well known, mixed marriages don't work.
Of course, you don't actually say how this online relationship turned out. There are certain perils in getting too close to blond women named Cercei, no matter how they spell it.
