I saw the title for this again, and my mind jumped to the Member Winter. x'D
Now I'm sad it's not true. :C

@Cthulhu: it's just a teaser, we have to see the serie before judging if it's good or not. But I like the atmosphere of the teaser - it's the prologue and beginning of 1st chapter, if I'm not mistaken. It had one purpose, tease the fans, and I think it did well on that matter XD
@Celes: this is ASOIAF. EFFIN' AWESOME. So read it. [I'll allow you to curse me after that 'cause Martin is that slow to update XD].

Too popular too fast?
....
Considering he's been writing since the 70's, and that his "fame" came mostly after 2000, I wouldn't say that. Have you even read his sci fi and other books? Heck, even his TV shows scripts are interesting.
And I think every writer would be incredibly honoured and high about his series being turned into a movie or TV show. Seriously. That means something, that something you created with your own brain and imagined from the get go to be put on screen, to suddenly see his own character appear on screen and think "wow, it's me who did that". Not to mention that Martin is quite invested in this too, since he's going to write one episode per season.

I just finished Dreamsongs Vol 1, which is a collection of a bunch of his early fantasy/scifi/horror shortstories - particularly enjoyed his horror stuff. And weren't some of his older stories made into movies as well?
I am trying to convince my mother to read SOIAF (she hates all things fantasy) and she asked me to summarize the plot, not realizing that would take several days. I settled with 'it's awesome, just read it', but she seemed unconvinced.
Also looking forward to the HBO series. Teaser looks...well, not a lot to look at, but enough to get me interested. Any sort of release date announced yet for it?

I was referring to the fame bit - I know he's been a successful writer since before most of us were born, but as you said, it only really started for him after 2000, when his books escaped the clutches of sci-fi / fantasy geeks (and into the hands of HBO).
You should've said "Everybody dies, gets raped, becomes a zombie, then eats branes" or something to that effect.
