Here is the thing that immediately caught my attention -- GRR Martin has licensed Green Ronin to publish a RPG based on his series ( http://www.greenronin.com/sifrp/ ). This allows people to play in his world and interact with his characters. How does writing a campaign for this game differ from writing fanfic in his eyes?
Because I am completely out of this loop . . . what has GRR Martin been saying specifically? His personal problems with fanfic may not actually be in play here but it really seems to me to be odd that he is willing to let people play in his sandbox but only if they call it one name and not another.
If he is really against other people using his characters in their own stories what does he think is going to happen with that? It not like any of us that play RPGs ever write stories based on the games we play. :/
