With the series now being official, it brings with it the promise of much more exciting news over the next year or so. Casting announcements, set reports, the release of trailers, commercials and more. I want Winter Is Coming to be the number one stop for anyone looking to find any of that stuff. So to that end, I’ve asked two WiC regulars to assist me in staying on top of the latest news and info about Game of Thrones. They graciously agreed and I am proud to introduce Marko and About Yea High as official Winter Is Coming contributors! As they assume their new positions, they will be adopting new names. Much like this site and myself, they will also be known by house mottos, Marko will be Hear Me Roar and About Yea High will go by Fire And Blood. I’m excited to be working with them and continuing to make this site the number one source for news and info about Game of Thrones!

Congratulations guys!
Keep those posts coming – I expect to see daily updates now that the workforce has tripled ;-)

Yay for new bloggers, congrats to both of you! This is all very exciting. If I had the honour of becoming a WiC blogger, I'd probably pick something a bit more personal than house words. Guess what. "You know nothing, Jon Snow." :)

Cool names – they are chosen in part based on their geographic location, right? So WIC Blog can allways be on top of newest developments with the series?
@ipopicQuote Reply
So I take it that "Hear Me Roar" is a woman, probably Canadian, the name based on the song by Helen Reddy, "I Am Woman (Hear Me Roar)" and Fire and Blood is a religious fanatic, probably from Rhode Island.
HunterQuote Reply
No…. Not sure if your being fresh.
Winter is Coming is House Stark's Motto. The motto for some of the other houses include: "Hear Me Roar" for the Lannisters, "Fire and Blood" for the Targaryen's, "We do not Sow" for the Greyjoy's….
Nice touch touch for the main contributors to have such names!

welcome now with new names!!!
JehphgQuote Reply
I'm just excited that we have a slovene representative :) Go wic! We hope you'll all continue to keep it up…
Eva KnupležQuote Reply
That means We Do Not Sow hasn't been taken. Excellent…
Jonathan LeardQuote Reply
Congratulations guys!! ;) Love your new names…
Awesome awesome awesome!
Since you both have kind of been at it all along, albeit nonofficially, I'd say you were the obvious and best choice.
All the best on this your quest!…

Thanks, guys! Good to have your support even before we started for real :) Yes, geographic location did play a part.
Hear Me RoarQuote Reply
The pilot will be shown as episode one of the first season, airing spring 2011. Months mentioned range from March through May.
Hear Me RoarQuote Reply
Congratulations. I've been reading this blog for a while, and they seem to have very insightful comments and information, so keep up the good work. :) (And cool new names)

what relevance could Slovenia possibly have? our main claim to fame is NOT being relevant.
also is it only me or are there a disproportionate number of Slovenians around here (nb disproportionate = more than one).
opaltigerQuote Reply
Welcome aboard! We are looking forward to daily updates from this excellent group, especially as the news should be coming fast and furious in the coming weeks.
Derek SharpQuote Reply
shit I sat for ages figuring out what that meant until I read my own comment again XD, I guess I'm not up for the name after all :)
StuQuote Reply
Ah, thanks, I wasn't certain whether they'd do it like that or like it's been done with NSBG or CAPRICA (though those were not HBO productions).
stratomunchkinQuote Reply
I do believe Marko is said to be slovenian, and that might be what was referred to….
Offcourse I could be wrong, and Marko not be slovenian. But I have the biggest feeling that I've seen it written somewhere.
No relevance I would guess, other than the slovenian first posting this being happy and feeling some national pride?
As with most things in movies/tv it is very "anglicanized"(this could be a swedish word I kind of translated to english this, but hopefully you get my meaning..), and it's not that often people from other countries than englishspeaking come into the picture. IMO.
As with everything GRRM – WiCs blog is different though, right? ;)
@LivveHultQuote Reply
Yes, there's no indication of HBO going that way, nor have they ever tried that in the past.
Hear Me RoarQuote Reply
Congrats on your new positions!
And I certainly think WIC is the best site for news and info on the TV show. Good luck. I'll be supporting you with recommendations to groups and friends.

You have our thanks!

just sending u guys my warmest congrats …… looking forward to the new adventure we are all going to be on in the coming year!!!!
Marilyn BonesQuote Reply
I didn't mean like that. As you said it's just me being happy nothing else :)
Eva KnupležQuote Reply
Welcome aboard, guys.
Anyways, do we have any date w/regards to when the pilot will air?
stratomunchkinQuote Reply
Haha! btw! Guess you won't be able to troll by replying to your own comments… ;) (not that you ever did) Since WiC spilled the beans on your new nics… ;D
@LivveHultQuote Reply
Nice one :) I remain the mysterious European type.
Yours, HmR
Hear Me RoarQuote Reply
I thought about that, but I think I will stick with the snowflake for now. Can't have people forget who started the site after all. ;)
Winter Is ComingQuote Reply
Do we? I did not know that. *feels somewhat stupid and questions own forum trollability.
Greetings from the tiny chicken-shaped country, peeps.
@ena2345Quote Reply
You might have a point there. I have a hunch it has something to do with:
a) us being a nation of geeks (and damn proud of it);
b) us being relatively good at English and generally inclined to reading books in originals, not translations;
c) in contrast to that, us recently getting two fine translations of ASOIAF books by Boštjan Gorenc – Pižama.
But my money is on factor a). :)

If you look up google trends for "Game of Thrones" you'll find that croatia is the number one country looking it up.
Critical_GeekQuote Reply
Probably a very wise decision and a good moment to do so. Congratulations to Hear Me Roar and Fire and Blood (and Winter is Coming as well)

WiC: now with a team around you, maybe you should change your avatar to the direwolf of house Stark?
DunkeltrollQuote Reply
I am in L.A., have scribed a few screenplays (with only limited success thus far – but that's Hollywood), and have a loose understanding of the process. I subscribe to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, follow various GoT actor fansites (the Jennifer Ehle fansite is especially amazing in its detail and up-to-date information), and tweet with the twitterers.
That, added to my boyish good looks and natural panache, make me a nice West Coast fit, able to garner and post up any late-coming GoT news whilst WiC gets his much-needed beauty rest. Trust me when I say he needs it.
Like Ehle, I am made of awesome.
So Fire And Blood I will be; or FaB for short, and really, what better name for someone from the land of fruits and nuts? If I get big enough I may change it to FaBio.
I will still post occasional comments as About Yea High, though the thoughts and ideas expressed by that nom de plume do not necessarily reflect those of Winter Is Coming, its creator, HBO, or any good taste in general for that matter.
About Yea HighQuote Reply
Congratulations on you promotion :-) I am looking forward to any addtional information, news and any other related details regarding "Came Of Thrones". Winter is already doing an awesome job, but with you two to aid him, it can only get better!
