George RR Martin posts his first tweet, but don’t expect too many more

George RR Martin

Geeks all over the world worship George RR Martin, author of the A Song of Ice of Fire series, adapted into the wildly popular HBO series Game of Thrones and now they can follow him on Twitter.

Martin sent out his first tweet yesterday, although by the looks of things we shouldn’t expect too much activity on the account:

The account was confirmed as officially belonging to Martin by his publisher Random House:

The saddest news though is that Martin’s actual tweets will never be as good as the gem that this impersonator produced on the eve of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding:
