) I think that High-fantasy (of which A Song of Fire and Ice is NOT part of, because it's realistic - call it makeshift history in a fictional continent, but it has so few fantasy elements and so many realistic ones that I think no one can catalog it) has always spurred the interest of writers. 
It is much more appealing and it covers a historical event in a very fictional manner a thing which people are drawn to, because reality is pretty boring (so is A Song of Fire and Ice, because it copies it)

What literary trends have there been in the last 10-20 years?
I know these examples:
1. Harry Potter spurred a tone of novels revolved around magic. (between 2000 and 2003)
2. The Lord of the Rings(the movie) was the starting point for fantasy novels >>> continued afterwards with the massive, undeserved attention Eragon had. (2003-2005)
3. Memoirs of a Geisha (the movie) started the "geisha" movement.
and last but not least.(2005-2008)
4. Twilight Series began the "vampire craze" >.> (I am not saying anything about the Vampire Journals those came 17 years before Twilight. (Heck they are as old as I am). (2008-2012)
But seriously now... Most of these books are fame worthy (except Eragon and Twilight ofc).
What do you think will be the next literary trend? If there is a new trend, what is it?
