Interesting. It's nonsense, but it's a higher grade of nonsense than you'd get from just using a Markov chain or something. Sentences are of an appropriate length, and largely make grammatical sense.

He woke and threw desperately, his fat skin twisted in black, and the long wind was closing around, the watchers pushed past the walls, while the wildling fights set bread and hizdahr’s fires, the galleys of the night’s watch ate their food for the last time.

The way it intersperses dialogues with descriptive text feels like a real novel, and it correctly figures out that the grammatical construction of things inside quotes can be very different to the grammatical construction outside quotes -- e.g. characters can say things like "Lord Eddard has gone south" and "We have no glory, only a world upon my roofs" but the voice of the novel has to keep to third person simple past tense.

I have no idea how to get from here to the point where it actually constructs a story, even a bad one, though.
