Sign-up form:
Active email address:
Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences?
What kind of gift can you make?
Fic and/or fanart?
Preferred characters and/or pairings:
Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about:
What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw?
Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you?
What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic and/or fanart?
Preferred characters and/or pairings:
Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about:
What genre of fic/art do you generally want? (Gen, slash, femslash, het, angst, fluff, romance, smut, character studies, AUs, future fics etc.)
Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
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 work for both. 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 trouble finding someone who can write for you if you have six prompts with ships that literally no other participant offered to write (and similarily, I will have trouble finding a recipient for you if you only offer to write/draw pairings or characters that nobody requested). 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 August 2nd. 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. Either ask someone to beta read your fic for you or at least proofread your fic thoroughly. If you don't know anyone who could beta for you, you can contact one of the people who signed up on this beta reader post.
Any other questions, comments, suggestions, problems? 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.

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? As before: I've read all the books and seen up until s3 of the show before quitting, I've just been living vicariously through Tumblr. I am willing to incorporate aspects of the show into my fic, but for the most part I prefer to write for the books. (I could write for the show, but I'd end up with something that has liberal seasonings of book canon, so.)
What kind of gift can you make?
Fic and/or fanart? Fic! I can also make picspam-style graphics and fanmixes to accompany said fic if the mood takes me.
Preferred characters and/or pairings: The Stark kids (and Jon Snow, but I especially love Robb welp), Catelyn and Ned Stark, Theon and Asha, Jon's NW clique (especially Sam), Ygritte, Gilly, Jeyne Westerling, Jeyne Poole, most of the Northerners in general--I have the most experience in writing them--and anyone else not listed below, I suppose. I'm not too picky. Also, Theon/Robb is my absolute OTP, followed closely by Sansa/happiness. Jon/Ygritte and Jon/Sam are somewhere up there, but I would be willing to try threesomes or even foursomes--Jon/Sam/Ygritte/Gilly, I'm fond of. Jon/Robb is my lone Starkcest ship, oops. Plus I like Sansa/Margaery, though I don't have much experience in writing Margaery herself, and Sansa/Shae (at least the show version of Shae), though I have little experience in writing it.
Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Anything Starkcest, save for the aforementioned Jon/Robb ship. I have an absolute hatred for Ramsay Snow, Roose Bolton and Littlefinger, so much so that if they appear in the fic, you can be sure they'll be dead by the end of it, and there is no chance of my writing anything for any ship featuring any of them. I also don't like Daenerys pairings that much, though I don't hate Daenerys herself--she has dragons, she's cool, but I don't really care that much for her, so she'll probably just be a minor character. Also no Sansa pairings with anyone other than Margaery, Shae or her happiness, and no Margaery pairings with anyone other than Sansa or being queen either. And I refuse to write Joffrey as anything more than a joke character or That Ex-Boyfriend Nobody Likes. As for show canon, I refuse to acknowledge a lot of things about the show, like Talisa or Pyp and Grenn dying or Jojen dying.
What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? Fluff! Angst! Humor! Sometimes all three at the same time! Seriously, though, I've noticed that I usually write modern AUs, reincarnation AUs and AUs where Robb comes back from the dead somehow, although usually that never works out for him (I'm currently writing him as the Winter Soldier, for instance). So, generally, you can expect a bit of pain and bittersweet ending at least--more sweet than bitter, though, and very hopeful. Canon is painful, okay, I heal myself through fic.
Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? I can't write smut. I'm serious, it's not that I don't like porn because I do, I have enjoyed some very porny (and fully consensual) fics in the past, but I can't write it. I can write the lead-up, but then I'll either just fade to black or switch POVs.
What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic and/or fanart? Generally fic, but if you want to draw or photoshop something then I would love that too.
Preferred characters and/or pairings: See above.
Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: Also see above.
What genre of fic/art do you generally want? Anything! I enjoy a good fluffy fic just as much as I enjoy a soul-destroying piece of angst just as much as I enjoy cracky AUs just as much as I enjoy plausible future fics just as much as I enjoy crossovers and fusion AUs just as much as I enjoy hot BDSM smut just as much as I enjoy vanilla missionary sex. (But I do want there to be a hopeful ending, at least. You can break my heart as much as you like, but please, for the love of god, give me some hope at the end of it.)

1. Sansa/Shae: "I would kill for that girl." Instead of staying to testify against Tyrion, Shae decides to get the hell out of King's Landing. She also decides to take Sansa with her--if she has to murder multiple people to get Sansa out and to safety, then she damn well will.
2. Robb/Theon: Robb has been stuck in a time loop since the Red Wedding, from a few months before finding the direwolf pups to dying--and he dies in a different way every time, sometimes gruesome, sometimes hilarious, sometimes just plain stupid. Every time he dies he wakes up again in Winterfell with a killer hangover, and at this point has gone through it upwards of fifty times already (one time he sort of threw caution to the wind, he doesn't know what he was thinking when he married that nurse and he's pretty sure she was a spy) and has given up all hope of ever getting out of it. And then Theon starts banging on his door in the middle of the night, which did not happen before, which means he is no longer alone in the time loop. tl;dr: Robb and Theon do Mystery Spot and try to put things right, even if both of them keep dying in new and interesting ways. Take it as seriously or as crackily as you want. Preferably crackily, this was inspired by SPN's Mystery Spot.
3. Awkward sex. Look, porn is great and all, but sometimes I want sex that ends hilariously badly. Maybe someone comes too soon. Maybe someone farts in the middle of it and kills the mood. Maybe they fall off the bed. Maybe an attempt at dirty talk ends in someone cracking up horribly. I don't care, I just want incredibly awkward sex that both parties think is just hilarious. Bonus points if the bad sex leads to surprisingly good sex later on, but the focus needs to be on the awkward first go.
4. Fandom AU. War of the Five BNFs. That is all.
5. Jon/Sam, Daredevil AU: Sam meets his new (and blind) roommate Jon in college. They strike up a friendship right off the bat and become lawyers together. And then Sam finds out that Jon secretly moonlights as a ninja-ish vigilante when he finds Jon's prone body on his apartment floor what the hell. Up to you who fills the other roles.
6. Winter Soldier AU. For those who don't know what that is: one of the characters in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is known as the Winter Soldier, and he's a legend in the spies-and-paranoid-people community because he helped start wars and change history, basically he's the spy's boogey-man--if the Winter Soldier is coming after you, you're screwed. But everyone who's read the comics and knows who he is also knows that the Winter Soldier is actually Captain America's best friend Bucky, who was brainwashed and tortured by HYDRA into becoming their perfect weapon. It's seriously the saddest thing ever. Basically I want what happened to Bucky to happen to a character of your choice--maybe it's a straight-up MCU fusion AU or maybe it's set in Westeros with just the premise lifted, but I want it so bad you don't even know okay. I want the single-mindedness of someone who knows nothing but the orders they're given slowly cracking when they meet this familiar face, I want the act of pulling the mask off and the iconic "who the hell" line and the utter heartbreak that comes with it, I want the big "remember who you are" fight and the act of saving this familiar person and the chase and the homecoming and the recovery. I want the recovery so badly.
Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: Non-con. I can deal with the recovery and references to it just fine, oblique or otherwise, it's the act itself I have issues with. I will read the kinkiest (non-bathroom kink. or bloodplay.) things, so long as it's fully consensual, but no explicit non-con. Also, you can refer to R+L=J I guess, but it shouldn't make Jon any less of a Stark--he was raised as one, and as far as I'm concerned he's Ned Stark's bastard no matter whose he really is.
Are you willing to pinch hit? Still a no on that. Sorry.
