I have a GAME OF THRONES article up at Variety

Variety, the US entertainment magazine and website, recently asked me to contribute an article on how the appeal of Game of Thrones has grown since 2009, when I met up with fans, cast and crew at an event in Belfast during the filming of the never-screened pilot episode. I was happy to oblige.

You can find the article in full here. You can also find my original reports of the event in Belfast from way back in 2009, here, here and here.
