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?

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 November 29th. 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.

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

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, but I will not say no to something angsty, as long as there's some dark humor and a hopeful ending.

3. Something with the premise of Dead Like Me (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Like_Me). For those who don't know what that is: it's a show created by Bryan Fuller, where a girl ends up dying and becomes a grim reaper, along with four or five other, similarly undead people, and they reap people who died because of External Influences. Considering all the death in Westeros, the reapers there are seriously overworked and understaffed, which the poor newbies to the job--like, say, Robb Stark--soon find out. Suggestions for reapers: Lyanna Stark, Ned Stark, Cleos Frey, Domeric Bolton, Robert Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, someone from way before Robert's Rebellion. (Bonus if there's a morbid "best death" award, which Robb ends up winning bc, wow, that is a seriously bloody death. He doesn't find it funny.)

4. Combine two fanfic tropes and make it work, the unlikelier the better. Fake relationship and zombie apocalypse? Sure, why not. Fantasy AU and amnesia? Hell yeah, bring it on. Time travel and sharing body heat? Fuck yeah. Write something with two or more of the most cliched tropes commonly used in fandom that happen to seem completely incompatible with each other, and make them compatible.

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. Robb/Theon: "...sometimes it's not about trying to fix something that's broken. Sometimes it's about starting again and building something new. Something better." - Leisa Rayven, Bad Romeo

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.
