I'll see your rant and raise you a Diana Gabaldon and a Stephanie Meyers :-) How narcissistic and idiotic do you have to be to bite the fandom hand that feeds you? Without the internet and the support it gives to fannish phenomena like fanfic, these people wouldn't be pocketing a fraction of what their work brings in. It's the best marketing scheme in the history of ever, and it's FREE. I'm sure GoT fandom exists, it's just that LJ has faded as a fannish arena, and Tumblr is the least supportive platform I've ever seen for establishing interest based communities and dialogue. A03 isn't much better, although it's great for archiving (watch out, though, since the maintenance crew there will appropriate fic without the author's permission in the name of preservation of fandom resources).
Rants :-)
Lady Stark has just opened a can of whoop-ass by way of avenging her son's attempted murder in episode 4 (the tavern scene on her northern home turf); I definitely see what you mean about all hell breaking loose. I'm hooked.
