Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:


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? Yes I've read all the books and the side stories.
Have you seen the show? Yeah I skipped a few scenes but I've seen like 90% of it.
Do you have any book vs. show preferences? I very much prefer the books over the show.
What kind of gift can you make?
Fic and/or fanart? Fanart =]
Preferred characters and/or pairings: I love Stannis,Davos,Arya,Jon,Sansa,Bran,Bloodraven/Children of the forest,Jaime,Brienne.. I don't really ship anything =\ I'm boring like that lol. Those are just the characers in the present canon I really like. I also loooove everything Pre-asoaif too. Like Ancient Targs, ancient westeros, anything Robert's Rebellion. I'm not at all big on Dany/her story but I wouldn't be opposed to doing an artwork of book!Dany since nearly all the art of her is based off the show. Could be interesting to do some art off her book description. Also I like wolves so direwolves would be cool to work on.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: I'm not that into Show!Dany,Robb,Jeyne Westerling,Lannisters(there's just so much art of them already)Melisandre,Varys,Littlefinger Aegon/Young Griff,Tyrells. Greyjoys because they are just hard to draw/pin down a likeness for me.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? I do watercolor paintings, but I can do line art/black and white if that is preferred. My watercolor skills are probably the best out of those options though. I do a sort o realistic/fantasy style. I'm not good at drawing cute/cartoonish stuff unfortunately =\

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? Hmm nothing much besides that I prefer book!characters/descriptions instead of the show.


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

Preferred characters and/or pairings: I love Stannis,Davos,Arya,Jon,Sansa,Bran,Bloodraven/Children of the forest, Jaime,Brienne,Oberyn. I don't really ship anything =\

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about:Show!Dany,Robb,Jeyne Westerling,Lannisters(there's just so much art of them already)Melisandre,Varys,Littlefinger Aegon/Young Griff,Tyrells. Shae,Ros,Joffrey,Renly,Daario,Margaery,Rhaegar,thats all I can think of.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? (Gen, slash, het, angst, fluff, romance, smut, character studies, AUs, future fics etc.) General stuff,angst is always good,character designs,portraits,conceptual, sigil/house themed stuff. I'm pretty much open for anything art style wise just not big on romance/fluff.

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
1)I would love some sigil re-designs for Stannis,the Starks,The Greyjoys,the Tullys or the Martells sine I think their sigils in the show are kind of meh. Even taking liberties with the book description is totally cool with me, just make it look awesome pick one, or how ever many you want it's up to you!.
2)Bran, or Rickon, or both with their wolf/wolves. Book descriptions for their features, I don't see a lot of art of them at all and when I do they hardly have the Tully coloring of Auburn/red hair and blue eyes.
3) Book!Jon, with Ghost, or just him I'm not picky. Not enough book art of him either.
4) I really like wolves in general, so any of the direwolves. I love to picture them as huge like almost the size of a horse or something, so go nuts.
5) And of course Stannis or Shireen, any age, I need more book!art of the Baratheons and their awesome features.
6) Sansa,Ygritte,Edmure,or Cat, just because gingers make great subjects.


Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: Nothing that's not already listed up there in the "do not want" section.

Are you willing to pinch hit? Yeah if needed =]
