There are several problems with this:

a) 'beautiful vs. ugly' are here used as synonyms for 'good and bad'. Doesn't ring true to me.
b) How exactly is Martin's writing ineffective/"bad" and how can you judge it from these excerpts? Just like the beautifully flowing example of Fitzgerald conveys yearning and admiration, Martin's paragraph describes the state of a princess facing the facts of the world. Martin's abrupt sentences are also effective, and vocabulary doesn't have anything to do with it in this case.

In addition to 'a)' I also like how the author of the OP pic uses the form 'is seen' to put forth his/her own opinions. I wonder why this gets reposted at all.

It allows me to burst into tears of pity and love at some slight word, to tremble with love for you at the sounding of some chord or cadence of music or to lie heads and tails with you feeling your fingers fondling and tickling my ballocks or stuck up in me behind and your hot lips sucking off my cock while my head is wedged in between your fat thighs, my hands clutching the round cushions of your bum and my tongue licking ravenously up your rank red cunt. I have taught you almost to swoon at the hearing of my voice singing or murmuring to your soul the passion and sorrow and mystery of life and at the same time have taught you to make filthy signs to me with your lips and tongue, to provoke me by obscene touches and noises, and even to do in my presence the most shameful and filthy act of the body.

My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

No. What do you want him to do, list the synonyms of 'fart'?
Martin's problem isn't with the use of the word 'shit' and it's modifications, but that he dresses it in mundane and lifeless description that gives us no real sense of the character. It's a common problem in his writing, he lacks descriptive skill. You could argue that it's intentional, because he wants us to focus on character, but the passage in OP's pic tells us nothing about character, it's simply a shitting woman.

When I came back from the East last autumn I found him squatting in the grass, groaning; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was shitting brown water—Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away. The more he drank, the more he shat, but the more he shat, the thirstier he grew, and the thirst sent him crawling to the stream to suck up more water—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No—Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.

I wonder if a decent way to test wellness of writing might be to imagine reading the passage from the point of view of someone who fetishizes or is absolutely horrified by the content (in Martin's case, scat and death by dysentery), and judging whether they'd be turned on or morbidly afraid.

From the point of view of a fetishist- "Squatting in the grass, groaning." wouldn't likely seem more erotic than "she sat on his dick and moaned". "Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler" might seem vulgarly simple, and evoke no passion. "The more she drank, the more she shat...", in this, the fetishist will find nothing to excite him: After he has dismissed the colloquial way of writing (the comma between 'drank' and 'the' does not imply that what follows it is an effect of what precedes, except in our day-to-day speech), he'll either interpret as a humorous catch-22 that likely hasn't put him in fits of uproarious laughter or he'll see it as something of a desperate scene ruined by the absurdity of shit. "When she... again.", an ultimately weak way to conclude the scene, as it's unoriginal, and doesn't appropriately convey any passion or veritable emotion felt by our dysenteric princess.

[βPictoris !NLqByHLcRc No.3074960]

>>3074957

But the better approach is that by a coprophobe, as the scene might better present desparation in a vulgar and helpless death (assuming she has died). The coprophobe's reaction to the first three sentences will be the same as the fetishist's when we substitute passion for fear. However, this man might have a legitimate fear of one day finding himself with a historically bad case of dysenterey, and having to slowly starve in a puddle of his own shit. With that in mind, "The more she drank..." will seem a way of trivializing this fear of his, much like how "The dark, from where men can drag you away." doesn't wholly convey the anxieties and fears the dark might evoke. That last sentence, again, seems dispassionate and presents a circumstance as it happens rather than the feelings one caught in it might have.

You can pick out the shit scenes in Gravity's Rainbow (to bring up a previously mentioned example) and they are still amazing and brilliantly written. Actually Slothrop in the sewers is one of my favorite passages in the whole novel.

Granted the OP is an ancient troll image, and it doesn't make sense to compare Martin to great writers like Fitzgerald or Pynchon because he doesn't aim to be a great writer, he writes entertainment and therefore the quality of the writing itself isn't all too important. And that's fine, except when his fans get all anti-intellectual about things and start arguing that he's better than Fitzgerald or that it's all just subjective anyways or other nonsense.

Later singing was heard, a strange high wailing song in a tongue the maester said was High Valyrian. That was when the monkeys left the ship, screeching as they leapt into the water.
>Come sunset, as the sea turned black as ink and the swollen sun tinted the sky a deep and bloody red, Victarion came back on deck. He was naked from the waist up, his left arm blood to the elbow. As his crew gathered, whispering and trading glances, he raised a charred and blackened hand. Wisps of dark smoke rose from his fingers as he pointed at the maester. "That one.

They are evil men, driven by greed, soured by malice, despising the gods and caring only for themselves. Broken men are more deserving of our pity, though they may be just as dangerous.

In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them… but he should pity them as well.”

You can always spot the retard who hasn't a clue of what he's talking about when he implies the ASoIaF fanbase consists of "neckbeards".

Goddamn it, just stop, will you. Are you posting this as examples of "good writing"? Because it's not. I confess to having read ASOIAF with great enthusiasm, and GRRM does know how to tell a compelling story. The prose is serviceable, but it doesn't exactly bear scrutiny. It's a vehicle for the story, no more than that. The passage you quoted works in the context of the story, but stood on it's own it's just melodramatic tripe.

No, but there is a large and vocal neckbeard contingent.

Not "good writing" I agree, but better than what Quentin picked.
