The authors note sets you up before you realise it was published single chapter over a year ago. Woe upon us.

Oh 2014. I thought it was published yesterday. Dammit

I was legitimately excited until I noticed that. Now I want a Rational!SoIaF where Joffrey is given "the Draco treatment" and is actually competent rather than a dumb bully.

u/alexanderwales [+10] Time flies like an arrow (18 hours later)

Competent Joffrey is (more or less) Roose Bolton.

u/DaystarEld [+5] Pokémon Professor (19 hours later)

Aye, though the difference in position is significant, Roose being a relatively minor lord (at first anyway) while Joffrey rules Westeros. I'd be interested to see how a rational leader deals with the whole rebellion, threats reported by the Night Watch, and so on.

u/Uncaffeinated [+1] (a day later)

I thought that Ramsay was the Joffrey to Roose's Tywin.
