Can you give specific examples of how Game of Thrones references other stories in terms of character archetypes?

One of the obvious references is to the Arthurian legend. For example, the idea of a rightful king coming to claim his throne has similarities. Jon Snow, in a way, can be seen as a sort of Arthur figure, rising from humble beginnings and having a claim to a throne that is rightfully his. Also, the concept of the White Walkers can be related to various tales of the undead in other mythologies. They are like a more complex version of zombies which are common in many horror and fantasy stories.

There could be a fanfiction where the magic system is completely misused or over - exaggerated. For instance, if the White Walkers are suddenly defeated by a single spell that is never mentioned or hinted at in the original series, and it's just used as a cheap way to end a conflict. Also, a fanfiction that changes the political intrigue, which is a big part of Game of Thrones, into a simple good - vs - bad scenario, losing all the nuance and complexity that made the original so interesting.

Some of the really weird fanfiction might involve characters from other universes entering the Game of Thrones world. For example, a character from a modern - day superhero universe shows up in Westeros and starts teaching the locals about modern technology. Or perhaps a fanfiction where the White Walkers start a dance competition instead of their usual war - like activities. These kinds of concepts are so out of the ordinary compared to the normal themes of the Game of Thrones series.

Yes, for example, 'doleful narrative' and 'pathetic story'.

Sure. A common way is to end with a resolution. For example, in a story about a conflict between two characters, they could resolve their differences through communication at the end. Another example is to end with a discovery. Maybe the main character discovers a long - lost treasure or a hidden truth about themselves. Also, ending with a transformation can be great. A character who was once shy and timid could become confident and assertive by the end of the story.

In one fanfiction, Jon Snow didn't go to the Wall as in the original story. This small change had a huge impact. Since he didn't go to the Wall, he remained in Winterfell. His presence there influenced Ned Stark's decisions differently. Ned became more confident in his northern rule with Jon by his side. This led to different reactions from the Lannisters towards the North. They were more cautious in their attempts to undermine the Starks, which then affected the overall power struggle in Westeros.

Sure. The UN's peacekeeping missions in places like Sierra Leone were successful. They helped end a long - running civil war and promoted the rebuilding of the country. UN peacekeepers provided security, which allowed for the return of refugees and the start of economic development.

Another example is a marketing agency. They implemented Dynamics CRM to handle their client relationships. The CRM's reporting capabilities were a huge plus. They could generate detailed reports on campaign performance for each client. This transparency in reporting strengthened their client relationships and led to repeat business.

Sure. There was a life church where the pastor was found to be embezzling money from the church funds to support his luxurious lifestyle. He bought expensive cars and houses while the church building was in a state of disrepair. Another example is a church where they had a 'love bombing' technique at first, making new members feel extremely welcome. But then they gradually started to control their every move, telling them what jobs to take and how much money to give to the church.

Sure. For instance, a retail company applied dataskill in inventory management. They analyzed sales data over different seasons and regions. As a result, they knew exactly which products to stock more of in specific areas during particular times. This led to a reduction in overstocking and understocking issues, increasing their overall profitability.
