Great post. I haven't read GRRM but I hope people aren't being triggered by... cruelty? I'm not sure that's possible? Anyway, that's why you don't read books because you want to watch the TV show.
You know, I understand the fanfictioneers' perspective because I was there myself once upon a time - I was so pissed that things didn't turn out the way I wanted them to for my favorite characters (or rather, LOL, that I felt they were being portrayed unfairly by their own creator - in my defense, I was 12). But you're absolutely right about the way to get through that, because that was a huge driver in getting me to write the novel I'm writing now. Partly because hey, this is an experience I can more or less control.
Also, turns out the movie's called My Soul to Take, and we've been using the other line of the prayer...
