A "Game of Thrones"?prequel could be in the works, according to series creator George R. R. Martin, who told IGN?there are talks of turning his "Tales of Dunk and Egg" novellas ? which also take place in Westeros, but 100 years before the events of? Game of Thrones ?? into a TV show.

"We have been playing with the idea of doing those as prequels," Martin said. "They're somewhat lighter in tone than the main series, a little more adventurous. But my fans love them and I love the two characters too, and it all ties into Westeros history."

Martin, who also has a development deal with HBO, revealed some ideas he's been working on for the network, including a science fiction show and a historical drama (though, as he noted, development is always a bit of a crapshoot).

"The trick is, I have to find another David Benioff and Dan Weiss," Martin added, referring to the two "Game of Thrones" showrunners. "Because while I can come up with the ideas and the concepts for the show, I'm not in a position to write them because I have 3,000 more pages of the books to write, and that has to remain my top priority."
