Yes I agree, we cannot take it as gospel, it was just that it seemed to be implied in Suvudu that characters were 'as we last saw them' (eg Jaime has one hand). I don't think it is meant as a definite statement by GRRM that the Hound is alive though.
Thanks for posting that info from FFC! That seems quite convincing. I did read FFC back when it first came out, and I had either not picked up fully on that OR totally forgotten it.
Re fan fiction - is GRRM opposed? Interesting! I was wondering that a while back when I read he was involved in that book of stories by other authors set in the world of Jack Vance http://sfscope.com/2007/09/dozois-and-ma...ck-va.html. Apparently that's a 'tribute anthology' NOT fan fiction
