NEW STRETCH GOAL!

And now for the moment you've been waiting for! So, our previous stretch goal was to achieve 1,250 total patrons. When we hit that goal, we would do an episode on GRRM's Dunk and Egg novella The Hedge Knight. Well, we didn't quite hit that goal, and that's okay. I (Jeff) usually get way over my skis on such things.

But then we thought, wait, maybe it's not just Jeff getting crazy. Maybe the incentives aren't there. And whoa boy, I think we finally have an incentive that you all are going to jump at.

SO! Our new stretch goal is as follows. If we can get up to 1,050 total patrons, we will do a multi-month/multi-part analysis of the Theon sample chapter from The Winds of Winter! 

If you remember from a year ago, we kicked off our multi-part analysis of "The Forsaken" from The Winds of Winter. That was so much fun, and in my not-so-humble opinion: one of the most definitive treatments of that chapter as done by fans. We'd like to do the same for that Theon TWOW sample chapter. And we'd love if you would consider joining our patron if you're not a patron to help us achieve that goal.

So, once again, if we get up to 1,050 total patrons (we need 92 more patrons as of this writing), we will do THEON I from TWOW, AKA, the Stannis Baratheon POV chapter. Sound interesting? Well, then, consider becoming a patron at any level!

CONCLUSION

We can't thank enough of you for welcoming us back so warmly as we've jumped into ASOIAF again. You've been all so kind to us, and we are thankful to be back and excited to press deeper into A Storm of Swords and potentially into Theon in The Winds of Winter.

Much love,

Emmett and Jeff
