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/watched everything including Dunk & Egg and The Princess and the Queen, books are generally preferred.


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

Preferred characters and/or pairings: All Starks, including pre-canon characters, especially Arya, Jon, and Rickon. Any northerners, Reeds, Tullys, Night's Watch, I can manage the Martells, Daenerys, Varys, Team Dragonstone, Margaery, Olenna, Brienne, Asha, Myrcella, Tommen.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Anybody's fine as a side character, but I can't write anything centered on Cersei, Freys, Reek!Theon, or Viserys

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. Tullys, Martells, Tyrion, Stannis & company, Tyrells, Brienne, Myrcella, Tommen, Podrick Payne. Ned/Catelyn, Bran/Meera, Jaime/Brienne, Edmure/Roslin, Sansa/Aegon, Sansa/Willas, Sansa/Tyrion, Arya/Gendry, Shireen Baratheon/Devan Seaworth, Myrcella/Trystane, Jon/Ygritte.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: Sansa/Sandor, Sansa/Littlefinger, Catelyn/Littlefinger, Ned/Ashara, Catelyn/Brandon, Arya/Aegon, incest other than the canon Cersei/Jaime and historical Targaryens. (Jon/any Stark counts as incest for me.)

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? futurefic, fluff, family fluff, pre-canon, canon divergence AU's

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.


Are you willing to pinch hit? No.
