I won't argue that Ser was made popular by GRRM's writing, but the first time I saw 'Ser' used was actually before I knew what those books were. In Dragon Age, specifically, used by Ser Cauthrien, a female knight who was Teryn Loghain's lieutenant.Â
I used it pretty generically in fantasy writing after that point, and I know I'd seen it used before then, but I'm not sure when or where.Â
That said, I love the fact that it works well for males or females, as supported by in-game text. Gives a good generic form of address in the event of a character who is heavily armored and not easily able to be identified by gender, for example.
