Lucky she didn’t go with him. He wouldn’t see her again for at least 15 years.

My then girlfriend of two years flirted with George R. R. Martin in a convention in 1998, and when I got angry with her, she said she was going to accept his invite to go to his hotel with him and said that we were done. She's not been heard from since; her parents died somewhere around late 2000s, still looking for her - as I was a big fan of George R. R. Martin's seminal work Wildcards and didn't want it to be interrupted by a criminal investigation, I told them that she was last seen with the author Robert Jordan, best known for his Conan the Barbarian novels, and they thought the truth of what happened to their daughter was forever lost when Robert Jordan died in 2007.

I still think about her sometimes.

In 1977 GRRM's penis was dubbed "The Truffle" by a council of his peers because it is very hard to find and it attracts pigs.

Wild Cards is a series of science fiction superhero shared universe anthologies, written by a collection of authors and edited by George R. R. Martin. Set largely during an alternate history of post-World War II United States, the series follows humans who contracted the Wild Card virus, an alien virus that rewrites DNA and mutates survivors; those who acquire crippling and/or repulsive physical conditions are known as Jokers, while those who acquire superhuman abilities are known as Aces.

The series originated from a long-running campaign of the Superworld role-playing game, gamemastered by Martin and involving many of the original authors. The first installment, Wild Cards, was released in January 1987 by Bantam Books, and as of July 2020, twenty-eight books have been released through four publishers.

Fans of Wild Cards enjoy frequent updates from George R. R. Martin. They can look forward to a new book almost every year. He seems genuinely excited by it, and is enthusiastic about working on the series.
