Are you willing to pinch hit? (This is just a theoretical question; if you say yes, it only means that I may ask for your help if I need to. You can still say no then if you don't have the time or don't like the prompts.)

~ ~ ~


If you're okay with receiving both fic and art, please make sure to write prompts that also work for art. Either phrase your prompts in a way so they can be used for both fic and art, or write separate prompts (i.e. 4-6 fic prompts AND 4-6 art prompts). That's far easier for artists than getting fic prompts and only an added "I like art, too."

If your sign-up includes spoilers (prompts like "what happened after character X did this or that in ADWD?"), please warn for them so the other participants don't get spoiled accidentally while reading through the sign-ups.

Please try to have a little bit of variety in your prompts. It's perfectly okay to want only fic about a certain character or group of characters, but if all your prompts are smut for the exact same pairing, it may get really hard for your writer. Also, please don't request six incredibly rare pairings. Rare ships are very welcome, but I will have huge trouble finding someone who can write for you if you have six prompts with ships that literally no other participant offered to write. The same goes for extremely detailed prompts: one or two of those are okay, but not six of them. A prompt should not be a plot outline. As a general rule, please remember that someone has to write one of your prompts. Don't make their life unnecessarily difficult.

If you don't want to post your email address here, just fill in the rest of the form and send me a PM with your address. Please sign up with an email address which you check regularly so I can reach you.

~

Send your finished fic/art to gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com by March 16th. If you need an extension or if you have to drop out, please contact me as soon as possible. Don't just disappear. I reply to EVERY email I get on the exchange account. If I do not reply to your email after a day or two, please assume that I did not get your message and resend it.

Please only send me fics as text files (.txt), or if that's not possible as .doc, .docx or .odt. Please include html tags for italics etc. in your file and check if your formatting works properly. Also, either use a beta reader or at least proofread your fic thoroughly. I have neither the time nor the patience to proofread every single fic before posting it. If you don't know anyone who could beta for you, please contact one of the people who signed up on this beta reader post.

Any other questions, comments, suggestions, problems? You can ask in the comments or PM me. Please read the FAQ first, though, maybe your question has already been answered there.

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? Read and seen it all, mostly prefer the books.


What kind of gift can you make?

Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Dany, Arya, Martells, Tyrells, most characters from the south and the east including minor characters

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Arya in heterosexual relationships, male slash, non-Westeros AUs

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? I'm willing to give anything a try except what's listed above.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? Margaery is a lesbian in my headcanon; I can write her in het pairings only if the relationship is a political one. I'm not a fan of the north so I'd prefer not to have to write that setting.


What kind of gift do you want to receive?

Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Dany, Arya, Martells, Tyrells, minor female characters,

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: Arya in het pairings

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? Interpersonal conflict and drama, character studies

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:

1. Dany is not convinced that Jon is Rhaegar's son and she is not convinced Aegon isn't an impostor, but she marries them both to keep the peace. With Aegon resentful of being a queen's consort rather than a king in his own right, and Jon struggling with sharing a wife with another man, their marriage is an uneasy one. Whether they make it work, or whether the situation erupts is your prerogative.

2. Dany marries either Aegon or Jon, and knowing that she can't have children, she has her husband take Arianne as a second wife. Arianne, however, wants to be the only queen and begins scheming against Dany.

3. Arya is sent by the Faceless Men to serve a courtesan so she can learn to wield the weapons of beauty and sex. As she comes of age, she realizes men hold no attraction for her and instead she desires women.

4. Arya, in one of her disguises, meets Alayne Stone. She falls in love with this bastard girl who looks like a brunette version of her mother, and seduces her. Then one day Alayne Stone reveals herself to be Sansa Stark. Arya has to decide whether to reveal her own identity.

5. Chataya and/or Alayaya know secrets about many powerful men in Westeros. They decide to use some of these secrets to take revenge on the Lannisters for what happened to Alayaya and to the girl who bore Robert's bastard. I'd ask that you not spare Tyrion since he's just as responsible for what happened to Alayaya as Tywin and Cersei.

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: AU of any kind, King Jon Targaryen UNLESS he's the junior partner in marriage to Dany, Tyrion as Dany's Hand.


Are you willing to pinch hit? Unfortunately, no.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? Nothing I can think of :) I'm a boring person :P

What kind of gift do you want to receive? Fic and/or fanart? Fic, please! :3

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: Same as above.

1. The Book Thief AU: Arya as Liesel, Gendry as Rudy, Cat as Rosa, Ned as Hans, Jon as Max.
2. Margaery/Sansa, Modern AU: Together, they open up a bakery. (Their specialty is lemoncakes, of course.) Bonus points for sex in the kitchens, and they get flour all over them.
3. Ashara/Brandon. He was the Stark who dishonored her at Harrenhal, which resulted in her pregnancy. How does Ashara tell him she's expecting? What's his reaction? Bonus if Barristan makes an appearance.
4. Alys/Jon, Modern AU: They go shopping at IKEA. Shenanigans ensue.
5. Arrested Development AU: The Lannisters as the Bluths. Bonus for Varys as Gene Parmesan and Petyr as Barry Zuckerkorn.
6. Wildcard! Any genre, any of the pairings above! Knock yourselves out!

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: Rape/non-con, A/B/O, m-preg, watersports/scat, second person POV.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? politics, character study, family fluff, friendship, pre-canon, futurefic, canon divergence AU's (not modern), crossovers if I'm familiar with the other fandom

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? I can't really write things with romance as the main focus - side pairings are fine


What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: All Starks, especially Jon, Arya, and Rickon. Mormonts, Reeds, wildlings, Night's Watch, other northerners.

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
-Benjen Stark unexpectedly returns to the Wall with frightening news of the Others, and is elected Lord Commander when they learn that the Old Bear is dead.
-"'Yes,' Robb said with such hope in his voice that Bran knew he was hearing his brother and not just Robb the Lord. 'Mother will be home soon. Maybe we can ride out to meet her when she comes. Wouldn’t that surprise her, to see you ahorse?' Even in the dark room, Bran could feel his brother’s smile. 'And afterward, we’ll ride north to see the Wall. We won’t even tell Jon we’re coming, we’ll just be there one day, you and me.'" A better world in which this comes to pass. (It'd be cool if Arya went too, but that's totally optional)
-Nymeria's wolf pack functioning as an army and sort-of working with people (possibly under Arya's dubious control). e.g. against the wights, Freys, retaking Winterfell, etc
-Arya + various things in Braavos accidentally triggering her memories of home, her siblings, her parents, etc
-She thought that returning to Winterfell would mend the hole in her heart, but it does not become home again until her family returns to fill it. (Can be Arya or Sansa.)
-Devan/Shireen: Her father's men continued fighting for her after he fell, but only Devan thinks to ask if she even wants to be queen.


Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: No Sansa as Queen in the North. Sansa as regent for Bran or Rickon is fine, Sansa as Queen consort of the Seven Kingdoms is fine. No Jon on any kind of throne.

Damn it, I somehow did I mess with the formatting and it's all bolded. Can you please edit it?

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I can't edit other people's comments, you can only edit your own comments (but not after you or someone else has replied to them, unfortunately). What you can do is delete your comment and just post a new comment with correct formatting.

To answer your other question: Yes, you can also sign up as a beta. Signing up as a beta and signing up as a participant for the exchange are independent; you can do both, or just one of them. :)

[l-cloudy.livejournal.com]

okay then :)

Active email address: cloudydream@live.com

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? I'm up to date with both, though I slightly prefer the books.

What kind of gift can you make? fic. I wish I could draw!

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Starks, Martells, pretty much every character involved with the Northen storyline (wildling characters included), Stannis & retinue, and all Targs except Dany. I'm also a huge fan of both Jaime and Margaery. No particular pairing preference.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Both male and female slash except for Stanis/Davos. No SanSan, Gendry/Arya or Starkcest either, unless is something involving Lyanna. I also should warn I'm terrible at writing smut, so most relationship I write end up as only hinted or romantic - I really can't do explicit.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw?I'm up for anything unless is one of the above; omegaverse or anything involving mpreg; and excessive h/c or whimp!fics.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? I'm usually a sucker for AUs, but that's not really a big preference.

What kind of gift do you want to receive? Fic and/or fanart? I'd rather a fic, but fanart is cool too :)

Preferred characters and/or pairings: all of the above, but I'm really open to anything when reading so pretty much anything goes.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: SanSan, GendryArya, Starkcest, femslash, Dany/Jorah.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? (Gen, slash, het, angst, fluff, romance, smut, character studies, AUs, future fics etc.) I usually prefer a fic to have a minimum of plot it it, but that's it.

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
1. Wild North, pre-canon. Something about the lands beyond the wall, blood sacrifices to the heart trees, the Starks... anything would be great.
2. Modern Rebellion!Era AU, involving Catelyn as a Catholic School girl. If it's a fic, I'd rather it didn't end up in tragedy like canon or, if it does, that shouldn't be the focus.
3. Awake!AU - a character living two lives when (s)he wakes up, otherwise canon setting. Any character works, as long as the two lives are different. For example, Viserys the Beggar King who falls asleep and dreams of being a prince; Catelyn married to Ned who dreams of a life with Brandon...
4. R+L=J. Arianne/Jon
5. Peggy Sue fic - any character goes back in time to AGOT/S1 era with his/her memories. Something angsty - usually this trope is used as a fix-it fic, but I'd like to see something set post-saga, with a character who's earned his/her bittersweet happy ending after years, only to come back to a time where everything is about to get really messy all soon, over again. This prompt only works as fic, I'm afraid.
6. Modern AU future story, with the Stark kids. Sansa the ruthless businesswoman, Arya the spy, Rickon the sport star...

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: I don't really enjoy omegaverse/mpreg or h/c.

Are you willing to pinch hit? Sure!

Active email address: avery.friend@gmail.com

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? Read all of the books, seen the show, and prefer book canon or a blend.

What kind of gift can you make? Fic.

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Catelyn, Ned, Stark kids, Margaery, Lysa, Edmure, Brandon, Lyanna, Jaime, Cersei, Brienne, Roslin. Pairings-wise - Catelyn/Ned, Sansa/Margaery, Edmure/Roslin, Lyanna/Rhaegar, Lysa/Petyr, Jon/Sansa (assuming R+L=J), Jaime/Sansa. Other background characters/pairings are okay but I’m not sure how well I could do them justice as the focus of a story.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: I can't write Greyjoys, Boltons, Martells, Stannis and company, or Essos-based characters (excepting possibly Daenerys in a future-fic scenario) in any major character roles. Also, no Catelyn/Petyr beyond his canon obsession, and no Ned/Ashara or Catelyn/Tywin.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? I’m pretty flexible as long as I’m comfortable with the characters I’m writing about - angst, fluff, AU (canon-divergent or modern), character studies, whatever. I’m not comfortable writing graphic violence or especially kinky sex, though.


What kind of gift do you want to receive? Fic.

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Catelyn, Ned, Stark kids (especially Robb, Sansa, and Arya), Margaery, Edmure, Brandon, Lyanna, Lysa, Jaime, Brienne, Roslin. Pairings-wise - Catelyn/Ned, Margaery/Sansa, Edmure/Roslin, Lyanna/Rhaegar, Jon/Sansa (assuming R+L=J), Cersei/Sansa, Jaime/Sansa.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: Greyjoys, Boltons, Martells, Stannis and company, Essos-based characters (though references and minor roles are okay). Also, no Catelyn/Petyr beyond his canon obsession, and no Ned/Ashara or Catelyn/Tywin.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? I’m not especially picky - whatever fits the prompt and characters best! Gen, het, or femslash are preferred for this fandom. Beyond that, I like angst, fluff, introspective pieces, and H/C, and am totally open to AUs.



Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:

1. A story exploring the idea of Sansa as a lesbian in the ASOIAF universe. Young Sansa being confused/afraid, older Sansa figuring out what's going on, relationships with girls, relationships with men that don't make her happy the way she dreamed of as a kid - whatever you'd like! Any pairings are fine, but if you're going to make one of them endgame or the focus of the story (as opposed to a more gen Sansa fic), I'd prefer Sansa/Margaery.

2. Harry Potter-fusion AU where all of the great houses are prominent pureblood families. Give me political tension! Focus on the Starks and Tullys and/or Lannisters preferred, with the Rebellion-era generation as the main characters (as students or adults, doesn't matter.) Preferably set during wartime (Grindelwald, maybe?), or at least in a setting that highlights the different houses' belief systems re: bloodlines. (Also, I would prefer the Rebellion generation, but the exception to that is Slytherin!Margaery and Ravenclaw!Sansa in a star-crossed lovers situation.)

3. Modern AU where Ned takes in his young nephew following his sister’s death. As he begins to navigate the new world of single parenthood, he finds unexpected guidance and friendship in Jon’s teacher, Miss Tully. (Reprompted from the kink meme, I just REALLY LOVE awkward modern Ned/Cat.)

4. Roslin bonding with the Starks/Tullys. Can be either canon-based future fic where she meets Sansa, Arya, and/or the Blackfish, or an AU where she marries Robb.

5. Wild card - anything Catelyn or Sansa centric featuring other preferred characters (Arya/Brienne/Lyanna/Margaery/Robb/whoever, take your pick), or anything with Catelyn/Ned or Margaery/Sansa as the main pairings.

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: Character bashing, gratuitous violence, or graphic kinks (no watersports, bloodplay, etc.)

Are you willing to pinch hit? No, sorry.

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? Read all the main books but only seen season 1 of the show, so I guess books preferred!


What kind of gift can you make?
Fic and/or fanart? Art

Preferred characters and/or pairings: No particular preference.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Any pairing of an adult with a minor, noncon, Theon/Boltons, incest, Baelish ships

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? Anything that can be done with a pen I'll try! Comics too. My fic request down there is all happy feelings but I will sure as hell draw darker things. I'd be VERY happy to draw any kind of corporate AU.. or any AU that requires costume changes...
Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? It's not that I won't draw smut but I'm quite bad at it. I can always give it a go though! Also, if it will help in the prompt giving, my art style is like this (http://25.media.tumblr.com/0836016eed5baa4e9af977dee8336549/tumblr_my5ydrUgBR1r35rv4o1_1280.jpg).

What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic and/or fanart? Fic please!

Preferred characters and/or pairings: An intense Stannis&Davos friendship, platonic or no, I will read it all. Additionally: The Dragonstone crew in general (and by extension Each Individual Seaworth), Jaime&Brienne (platonic or not), all the Starks in one place.. this goes for any major family. Beyond that I'll read practically anyone.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: Same as way up there

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? I'm a sucker for modern AUs, 5 +1s, fics with a lot of really cute superfluous details and cameos, etc, a bunch of light hearted schmoop

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
- Shopping- IKEA shopping, Christmas shopping, grocery shopping, any shopping outing where everyone runs into everyone else buying just totally weird shit.

- Fics about Baratheon family gatherings keep me young. Really anything you write about this scenario will fill me with unmeasurable joy. If desired you may replace "Baratheon" with the dysfunctional house of your choice.

- Animal... familiars... Along the lines of a His Dark Materials fusion... Shhh, just let it in....

- Stannis/Davos/Marya genfic where Davos and Marya share conspiratorial chuckles and Stannis is like (to paraphrase) "Whaattttt are you guys talking about". A minimum of 100 cuddles to be had.

- Ok here's your blatantly Stannis/Davos canonverse fic: Stannis on the throne (Briefly? Dany can be on her way for a peaceful turnover if you want) with Hand Davos. Outsider perspectives on "Hey what's the deal with those two". Maybe I am nudging this towards a 5+1 structure. Maybe not. Who knows.

- Final prompt: Ensemble fic in a weird setting. And by weird setting I mean the zoo.


Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:
Nooo death or angst please, I am here for fuzzies and laughs. Imagine a large, sunlit room with many windows. It's so warm. That is the ideal state of my heart while reading your wonderful fic, bless your soul. Non-third person POV also irks me.

Are you willing to pinch hit? Sure thing!

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences?
I’ve read and seen it all. I love both, with a slight preference for the book’s characterizations and the show’s physical features.

What kind of gift can you make?
Fic!

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
Characters: Lannisters, Greyjoys, Boltons, Baratheons, Sansa, Oberyn
Pairings: Sansa/pretty much anyone but extra squees for Stannis, Jaime, Oberyn, and Theon; Theon/anyone ‘cept romantic Asha, Asha/Stannis

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about:
“Will not” – eh, nothing really. I prefer not to write fics centering on protagonist!Dany, Jon Snow, Essosi players, or Sansa/Littlefinger, but nothing particularly makes me squeal “no wai!”

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw?
I can write pretty much any genre and pairing, though I’m better with action and character studies than pure smut. Darkfic and squickiness are a-ok. Also, anything fairytalish.
Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you?
I’m not wild about modernAUs or crossovers (apart from fairytale/mythology retellings). I’m not the most talented at stories that are pure smut.

What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic!

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
Greyjoys, Lannisters, Boltons; Baratheons, Sansa, Stannis, Davos, Jaime, Theon, Asha
Pairings: Sansa/Stannis, Jaime, Oberyn, Sandor, Tywin, Theon; Asha/Stannis, Thramsay


Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about:
whitesaviorJesus!Dany (madqueen!Dany is fine), romantic Sansa/Tyrion or Sansa/Littlefinger.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? (Gen, slash, het, angst, fluff, romance, smut, character studies, AUs, future fics etc.)
It’s all good! Particular favorites are character studies, gallows humor, dark stuff sans wangst. Sexin’ is great but I prefer if it’s rooted more in characterizations than erotic gymnastics.

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
1. Sansa/Stannis; Sansa is the one who saves Stannis, through guile, diplomacy, surprise support, whatever (just not warriorqueen!Sansa please). They can be in a relationship already but bonus points if they’re not. The level of romance is up to the writer, as is what/who she saves him from.
2. Sansa/Theon. Ned took Theon to King’s Landing along with Sansa and Arya. After Ned’s execution, Theon and Sansa are both captives. What happens? Can be romantic or platonic. Bonus points if this affects the political landscape in unexpected ways. Other Greyjoys are totally welcome but by no means a must. Most interested in the character development.
3. A Westeros retelling of Little Red Riding Hood that’s not a Sansa/Sandor story (at least in the sense of Sandor being the wolfy). Bonus points if it’s Angela Carteresque.
4. Sansa is somehow removed/rescued from King’s Landing. Only to find Robb has betrothed her to Roose Bolton. Thinking of something creepy/moody/possibly a ray of weird cuteness more so than pure angsty (though some angst is totes fine). Sexin’ is fine as long as there’s lots of characterization.
5. Jaime never learns that the Arya shipped to Winterfell is a fake. Brienne is off searching for Sansa so he goes north with a small retinue to retrieve the younger Stark sister, by quasi-honest or duplicitous means. Roose is suspicious the Lannistes are up to something, Jaime’s getting uneasy, and Ramsay’s…Ramsay. Thus begins a night of mind games, danger, quick thinking, and assorted WTFery. Theon and Jeyne are wild cards. I don’t have any “absolutely not!” buttons so go where your inner psycho leads, but I’m craving something closer to House on Haunted Hill and/or The Shadow Over Innsmouth than Hostel.

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:
1st person, radical OOC, character bashing, modern!AU

Are you willing to pinch hit?
Ja! Surprise is the spice of life!

Hey Linne, after missing the last round due to work commitments I'm glad to be back on board. But I'll level with you and say it's likely, even at this stage, that I might be a few days late with my assignment, because Friday 14 March is the last day of term! You already know I am a shitty timekeeper but also that I have never defaulted so hopefully this is ok... I am sorry that I am a pest. :)

Active email address: rachel2205 @ livejournal.com (or if you remember my gmail stuff can go there - warier about sharing it these days since it contains my full name!)

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? I've seen all the aired eps; I've read the first 3 books and know some spoilers for later in the series. I'm more of a show fan than a book fan, to be honest, so it's unlikely I'll get around to reading the rest of the books - I'm not a huge fan of GRRM's writing (sorry!) and the world has too many books in it. :)

What kind of gift can you make?

Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: I like to write the Starks (including Jon in there!) and Margaery (would give all the Tyrells a go). Can also do some Baratheon stuff though I'd probably exclude Stannis from that since I don't think I'd have much of a grasp of his voice. Pairings I enjoy writing or would like to try writing include: Jon/Robb, Robb/Margaery, Robb/Margaery/Jon, Ned/Catelyn, Sansa/Margaery, Ned/Robert, Sam/Jon... Tyrell and Stark family gen fic would be cool too.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Much as I love the Lannisters I'm not convinced I can deliver them. And I'm not interested in writing about Daenerys and her crew.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? I'm good at character studies, UST, strong ladies doing lady things, teen boys being stupid, historical AU, and I'm happy to write you sexscapades.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? I don't write noncon or torture.


What kind of gift do you want to receive?

Fic and/or fanart?

Fic, please

Preferred characters and/or pairings: I am all about Margaery lately! Margaery/anyone that advances her agenda is cool with me though I do like her femmeslashed or with Robb (because he would have done far better, careerwise, matched with her...). I enjoy Robb/Jon, Ned/Cate, Stark gen fic, I keep suggesting Ned/Robert but I'm not sure this will ever happen :D, Varys is a cool character I'd love to know more about, a Tyrion/Bronn bromance (or romance) could be hilarious, Olenna Tyrell is amazing and deserves way more fic... I'm open to lots of things.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: I'm really not too invested in anything over the Narrow Sea, in Jon Snow when he's away from the Starks (except for cute Jon/Sam stuff *pets them*), or in Stannis/Melisandre shenanigans.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? (Gen, slash, het, angst, fluff, romance, smut, character studies, AUs, future fics etc.) I care less about plots than I do about characterisation (though if you can do both, great!). I enjoy getting insights into characters' POV, I love UST, I like seeing characters' relationships (not just romantic - friendly and political too) unfold... I like what-if scenarios and getting extra details to fill in gaps in canon.

[rachel2205.livejournal.com]

Part 2 aka I talk too much:
Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
1. Renly doesn't die, and Margaery goes north with Catelyn to negotiate with Robb on his behalf. Margaery/Robb appreciated, whether inspired by romance or politics!
2. I saw a graphic on Tumblr where Sansa was depicted as being reaped into the Hunger Games. I imagined HG being reimagined as Sansa/Margaery - I could totally see Margaery being clever enough to be manipulative and play the romance angle, but maybe genuinely falling for Sansa - who might be young and naive but is brought up in a tough district and so surprises everyone with how well she can look after herself when given the chance. But you know, any kind of GoT/Hunger Games crossover could be really cool, I think. You Win or You Die totally works as a HG motto too, right?
3. Robert/Ned in Robert's Rebellion era. I like to imagine Robert being in love with Ned but since that isn't socially acceptable he transfers his feelings to Ned's sister. Or maybe Ned and Robert had a youthful affair but then Robert fell for Lyanna and Ned is stoical and sad about it. Or they get together - maybe for one night only - after Lyanna's death. And Ned knows Robert won't make a good king but cares for him too much to stand in his way, and comes to regret it.
4. An AU where Robert and Lyanna DID get married and there was no Rebellion - how might Westeros have turned out? If you can involve any of the pairings I like, great.
5. Olenna Tyrell being awesome. If you wanted this could be a historical AU - she would make a fantastic Dowager, Downton Abbey-style. I'd like to see her helping mould Margaery.
6. Robb goes through with his intended marriage, and later on he and Jon are reunited when Jon comes to ask the King in the North for help with the White Walkers issue. Angst teen boy romance ensues.

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: I don't really want out-and-out fluff though I prefer my stories not to have completely despairing endings! No rape, noncon in general or explicit violence, please.

Are you willing to pinch hit? Afraid not!

[rachel2205.livejournal.com]

You have cool ideas! Also, Beverly Crusher is awesome.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

That's all right. You've participated so often and you've never dropped out, so I'm not too worried about you disappearing on me just because you need a bit more time. Just let me know around the deadline how much extra time you'll need. And I still have your gmail address saved from previous exchanges, so if it's all right with you I'll just use that one. I promise I'll keep it to myself. ;)

[rachel2205.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dear! And thanks again for keeping doing these! :)

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you?
I'm not comfortable with the majority of modern AUs or crossovers, and would prefer not to write graphic sex. Minor characters are not a problem either!

Fic and/or fanart?
Fic.

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
Everyone who is mentioned in the "preferred characters" section above (either as ships or solo), and additionally, Asha/Euron, Aeron/Euron, Euron/Theon, Alannys/Balon, Barbrey/Willam. Can appear as a ship here or individually.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? (Gen, slash, het, angst, fluff, romance, smut, character studies, AUs, future fics etc.)
Whatever fits the prompt. I tend to prefer darkfic and character studies, though.

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
1. Anything about the older generation of Greyjoys when they were young, pre-Balon's Rebellion. I want to see some kraken brother conflict!
2. Euron Greyjoy's adventures after his exile, focusing on his trip to Valyria.
3. AU where Balon's rebellion is successful, and all of his children survive. What are their fates?
4. AU where Euron Greyjoy takes the Iron Throne, Victarion (or Victarion and Asha) takes the Iron Islands, and the tension that erupts between them.
5. Theon is Roose's captive after the burning of Winterfell instead of Ramsay's and is manipulated and corrupted, rather than tortured.
6. Wildcard, any of my preferred pairings or characters in any combination: "No more half-measures."

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:
Character bashing
Redeemed/woobified villains
Watersports
Others!Boltons


Are you willing to pinch hit?
Yes, if any of the prompts fit my writing abilities.

[housecreepy.livejournal.com]

I'm loving the Sansa/Roose prompt. Something tells me that if it would be a bit like Roose/Walda, with less crackiness.

[schattenfalke.livejournal.com]

:-D I can't help it, I want a well-written fic of Sansa and Roose interacting.

[averita.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! And she totally is, isn't she? :)

[schattenfalke.livejournal.com]

I'm just imagining Cat telling Robb he's not getting any birthday or Christmas gifts for the next 10 years XD.

[schattenfalke.livejournal.com]

Awesome prompts! Especially 4 and 5. For 2 I'm picturing him sending a raven to Oberyn--"hey brah, what are some fun things to do in exile?"

1/2

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? Read the books, seen the show. I don't like the show much, so please stick to the books.


What kind of gift can you make?
Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Stannis, Davos, Jon, Sansa, the other Baratheons, the Greyjoys except Theon, Tywin, Kevan, Roose, the older generation of Starks. Stannis/Davos, Stannis/Jon, Stannis/Sansa, Victarion/Asha, Balon/Victarion, Victarion/just about anyone he's related to, Aegon I./Orys., Maegor/Aenys

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Melisandre, Littlefinger, Varys, Jaime, Cersei, Tyrion, Daenerys and most other Targaryens, Brienne, the Martells.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? mostly slash and gen, het is okay, no femslash. I can do angst, violence, fluff, romance and smut, as long as it's IC for the characters. no good with crackfic/humour/crossovers/AUs.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? -


What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Stannis, Davos, Jon, Sansa. Stannis/Davos, Stannis/Jon, Stannis/Sansa. the Greyjoys (although I'm not a huge fan of Theon), especially Victarion, Asha and Balon, Victarion/Asha, Balon/Victarion, Victarion/Euron, Victarion/Asha/Theon. Aegon I./Orys Baratheon, Maegor the Cruel, Maegor/Aenys. I also like Tywin and Kevan, Ned and the other Starks, the other Baratheons, the Boltons and other Northern houses, and I'm perfectly fine with any of these characters appearing as well.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: I don't want Melisandre anywhere near my fic (unless you plan to kill her off). No Stannis/Melisandre. I'm not particularly interested in Daenerys, Brienne, Littlefinger, Varys, the Martells, Jaime, Cersei and Tyrion. I don't mind them getting mentioned or even appearing if it's somehow important for the plot, but I don't want them to take up half the fic. I don't ship Jon with anyone except his duty and Stannis, so I'd rather not have a lot of Jon/Ygritte, Jon/Robb, Jon/whoever else he's shipped with in the background of any Jon fic.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? slash or gen. het only for Stannis/Sansa and Victarion/Asha. smut is great, but only if there's also some sort of plot and it's IC. I like character analysis and interaction and explorations of how relationships develop over time. I find the political elements of ASOIAF more interesting than the magical stuff. Angst and dark themes are good (I don't mind violence and non-con in fics if it suits the plot and the characters), but no pure tragedy. I love some UST & repressed desires even in gen fic (especially if you write about Stannis anywhere near Davos or Jon). I enjoy in-verse AUs and what-if scenarios, but I don't like out-of-Westeros AUs (modern AUs etc.). I absolutely love Kingsguard!Jon, but I'm also fine with Jon staying at the Wall so he and Stannis can angst about not seeing each other anymore.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

2/2

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:

1) Stannis/Jon or Stannis/Davos or Stannis/Sansa: post-war, Stannis has won the throne and someone tries to assassinate him. Up to you whether he is injured or just shaken up, up to you how he survived the assassination attempt (sheer luck? did his Kingsguard save him?). I mostly want to see Stannis' reaction to the whole thing as well as the person of your choice (Jon or Davos or Sansa or all three of them) fretting/taking care of him/feeling guilty for not being better at protecting him (in Jon's case, mostly) or however else they react to almost losing him.

2) Stannis/Jon. AU in which Jon squires for Stannis. Instead of sending Jon to the Wall, Ned sends Jon South to become a squire, and Robert thinks it would be hilarious to let Ned's bastard squire for Stannis. I'd love to see some development from them being unhappy about the arrangement (Stannis feels insulted, Jon is lonely and feels unwelcome) to them learning to trust and rely on each other. Slash with grown-up/knighted Jon would be appreciated, but it isn't necessary if it doesn't fit into your fic.

3) Stannis/Jon. Stannis takes Jon to see Storm's End. I suppose this would work best in a post-war fic with Kingsguard!Jon, but if you prefer a different scenario, that's fine by me.

4) Victarion in his younger years. His childhood/youth with his brothers. Or going reaving with Balon when they were young. Or his relationship with Euron over the years. Or something about his first wives. Or the first Greyjoy Rebellion. Anything about pre-canon!Vic. Bonus if you include Balon/Victarion (or creeptastic Victarion/Euron, or troll!Aeron hitting on Victarion, or even Victarion/Asha if you write something set shortly before the books happen).

5) Victarion/Asha, ruling the Iron Islands together post-canon. How did that happen? What does their shared rule look like? I'd love if you also included some smut or sexual tension in this because we all know the Greyjoys are for porn.

6) Aegon I./Orys Baratheon. I would love to read a background fic about Aegon/Orys: how they first met (I doubt they were raised together), how they grew so close, how they became friends and lovers. But if you'd rather write something about their relationship later on in their lives, I won't complain. (In that case, I will love you forever if you also include Aegon's relationship with his sons and/or Maegor/Aenys (one-sided or not, consensual or not, with Aegon's knowledge or not). Or just a fic about Maegor or Maegor/Aenys, that's cool, too.) I'm fine with Aegon's sisters appearing, but I'd rather the focus of the story wasn't on them.

--> Feel free to combine these prompts in any way you like, or to include any of the pairings and characters I like even if I didn't explicitly mention them in the prompt.

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: While I love some of the historical Targaryens, I don't care for House Targaryen by the time ASOIAF happens, so please no secret Targaryens (no R+L=J), Targaryens and/or dragons saving Westeros from the Others etc. I hate what the show has done with Stannis, so please stick to the books. Actually that goes for all characters, including their looks. And I unironically love Victarion, no bashing the poor guy please.

[housecreepy.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Oh, he totally would do that, and ask for some poison recs, holiday gifts for his brothers, you know.
