How 'Game of Thrones' Influenced My Writing Career
#VocalGOT While I’ve heard a lot about Game of Thrones, especially from popular magazines, and the internet, I never really got into the program until April 2019, when the show was coming to a close. Nevertheless, the show has had a huge impact on my life.

Book to Movie: Right or Wrong
There are several shows and movies that are based off of books. Several are very well known and loved, such as Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. Some aren’t as well known, such as Outlander and The Mortal Instruments. The one thing that they all have in common is that people who loved the book have a lot of complaints about the show or movie. I, for example, stopped watching the show Shadowhunters, because it strayed so far from the book that the show did nothing but aggravate me. There are some changes that make it better, but there is always something that will irk you. Personally, I prefer to read the book, simply because you get a bigger picture and more information than you would when you are watching a movie or TV show.

Eight Years Later: How 'Game of Thrones' Changed My Life
My Game of Thrones Burlesque series was born innocuously enough. In the summer of 2012, having finished season two of Game of Thrones and beginning to work my way through the books (I had binge-watched season one during a bout of strep throat, had been relieved and thrilled to find out that season two was starting just a week later, and couldn’t stand the idea of now waiting almost a year to find out what happened next), I was scrolling through Facebook on a slow work day and came across a violin cover of the title credits music. “So beautiful,” I thought, as I listened to it over and over. “Wouldn’t this be great to strip to?!” Maybe I should back up just a little! I’ve been a burlesque performer since 2009. Burlesque is many things to many people and probably needs its own essay to fully explain, but suffice to say it’s a theatrical performance, often with elements of parody and always with elements of striptease – emphasis on the tease. A burlesque performance is about the journey, not the destination… which is also how I’m choosing to look at Game of Thrones. Ahem. In 2012, I had a small burlesque troupe, with varying levels of commitment and, as with any collective, a lot of compromising on creative elements. We did small bar shows that were fun, but we had a theme coming up that I, frankly, wasn’t very inspired by. I had never produced something that was truly my own vision before. This music captured my imagination the way all the classic burlesque standards I was considering for the troupe’s upcoming show failed to do. When I imagined dancing to it, playing it over and over, I knew without a doubt which character I would portray: the scared, abused girl who became a dragon queen.

These Are Four of the Most Loyal Movie Fandoms
When a new movie or TV show gets released, its success largely depends on the reactions of the public. Whether an audience loves or hates a film will determine the box office performance, spin-off or sequel potentials, and merch sales. If the show is extremely successful, a fandom will obsesses over every detail of the work.

Fan Fiction Frenzy
In 2007, I saw and fell in love with the 2007 film August Rush starring Freddie Highmore, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell, and Robin Williams. With a cast like that, you know the story will be good.
