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

Preferred characters and/or pairings:

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

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


Are you willing to pinch hit? (If you say yes, it only means that I may ask you for 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 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 and crossover prompts: one or two of those are okay, but not six of them. As a general rule, please remember that someone has to write/draw one of your prompts. Don't make their life unnecessarily difficult.

If you don't want to post your email address here, just fill out 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 July 13th. 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. Don't be shy. They signed up because they want to help.

Any other questions, comments, suggestions, problems? Just send me a PM or an email to the exchange account. Please read the FAQ first, though, maybe your question has already been answered there.

part two - show spoilers in prompt one

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

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

1. Can I please have post-series Jaime and Tyrion reconciliation fic? (if you want to do this based on the show and want to include the whole 'Jaime would have sacrificed his spot in the kingsguard to save Tyrion's life' thing you're welcome really) I just really love their relationship a lot :( if you want to have some Jaime/Brienne on the side I'm not going to say no but it's optional.

2. Robb/Theon, totally improbable ACOK canon divergence: instead of doing the Winterfell stint, when Theon realizes that his dad doesn't give a damn about him but he hardly can go back to Robb without a ship, possibly disinherited and the likes, he warns him of his father's plans and then takes the black (all the while feeling pretty gloomy about it obviously). Not long later, instead of wasting time south, Robb goes to the Wall when the NW asks for help against the Others. (Angsty?) reunion occurs - either they had an established relationship or they fess up, it's the same. Bonus points for other Wall people showing up. Extra bonus if after they win (and obviously no one dies) Robb takes a lot of trips to the Wall and no one buys the 'it's to see Jon' excuse.

3. Theater company AU, not necessarily modern (18th/19th century? Early 20th century? I can also work with proper modern AU obviously). Preferred characters/ships centered, but feel free to add in whoever. They have to put on a play (or musical if you want it to be current times) and they don't have too much time. It goes as well as one can imagine. No particular preferences for who does what but if Stannis is the director and Davos is the stage manager (and incidentally the only person in the company Stannis doesn't want to murder) I'll love you forever.

4. Post-series (well, could also be years in the future, your pick really): the Others are defeated, someone relatively sane my preference is team Stannis + Davos but whatever you want really is in charge/on the Iron throne, enough time has passed, singers start to write songs about the war. Or alternatively, some two hundred years after the facts, what happened in the series is definitely a good subject for songs. Who gets written songs written about them and in which terms bonus terms if the underdogs get some? Focus on ships/characters above preferred. Clearly with this one you can speculate to your hearts' content. (Idk I won't say no if it's set in the immediate future, someone writes some very noble song about Jaime and Brienne's deeds and they hear it and have A MOMENT. Or maybe you can do the five things or five + one thing. Really, just go with it.)

5. Your friendly crack prompt for this round I'm trying again: stealing becomes a common practice through the Seven Kingdoms. Bonus points if it's because a wildling ended up in charge/on the iron throne (I don't really mind who). Focus on favorite characters/ships preferred - doesn't have to be post-series or anything and if you want to bend canon so dead people mentioned above don't die, please feel free to.

6. wild card [any of the preferred characters/ships] dystopian AU? anything that comes to you based on the temptation of Adam (http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858676355/) by Josh Ritter. [x (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH9MhovIY9g)]

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: character bashing, random characters (or Lannisters for that matter) turning up to be secret Targaryens, R+L = J being a main part of the story, the stuff I don't want to write.


Are you willing to pinch hit? yep, hit me. ;)

That theatre prompt is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

I kind of really hope it gets filled, though if it doesn't I may end up doing it myself /o\ I just really like the idea. ;)
