How best to invoke the wrath of G.R.R. Martin by posting a fan-fic online?
I know I shouldn't, he doesn't want me to, but I'm a gonna anyways. Is there a site that's receptive to ASOFAI fan-fics in particular, or Westeros fanfic in general? It's his own damn fault for waiting so long between novels or Dunc-and-Egg stories, I went ahead and filled in the gaps my own self. Yes, harmful to my growth as a writer, a deadly peril to mass-marketed corporate blah, yadda yadda yadda. Still, I wrote it, now I wanna post it somewhere, moral and aesthetic issues aside. Where and how?

FFN nukes fic when the original author has expressed strong views on the subject.
If you want it to reach a biggish number of readers without disappearing, you're probably going to need one of the approval only mailing lists or closed Livejournal communities.

Write a Sandkings fanfic. That ought to get his attention real quick.

Livejournal? There are lots of GRRMverse-centric communities there, and as a bonus, GRRM himself has a LJ.
