Please join and watch the community so you don't miss any updates, reminders, the check-in post etc. Sign up with an email address you check regularly.

READ the rules in the FAQ post before signing up.

If you have a tumblr, you can follow gotexchange.tumblr.com or track the tag #gotexchange so you don't miss any exchange updates.

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, that 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 remember that someone has to write/draw one of your prompts. Don't make their life unnecessarily difficult. Prompts should be starting points, not extremely detailed fic outlines. Try to have a bit of variety in your prompts rather than six prompts for the same pairing, especially if it's a rare pair. One or two crossover prompts are fine, but not six of them. Rare pairs are of course very welcome, but if you request only pairings that literally no other participant offered to write, I will have trouble assigning you. I reserve the right to ask you to add more offers or to edit your requests if there is no one who can write for you/no one you can write for by the end of the signup period.

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 September 11th. 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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

[1] Shireen POV, set sometime toward the end of ASOS, traveling to the North with her mother, father, and Auntie Melisandre

[2] A cat in the Red Keep adopts Stannis, and the Master of Ships decides whether or not he should put up with this adorable nuisance.

**I reject the show canon that Stannis doesn't like cats. He kept a pet hawk once that sat on his shoulder, followed him from room to room, and ate from his hand; what should he find so disagreeable about cats? They're independent enough to not be a bother--MOST of the time.

[3] Write me a story about Lazy Leo Tyrell (who? (http://direct.westeros.org/index.php/Leo_Tyrell_(son_of_Moryn))) and use TV Tropes to guide you:
Jerkass (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Jerkass)
Spoiled Brat (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpoiledBrat)
Brilliant but Lazy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrilliantButLazy)

[4] Old Prompt: Samwell/Jon: Sam returns to the Wall freshly maestered, and his new confidence and swishy robes serve as a forcible reminder to Jon that he's hopelessly in love.

Swishy robes is a joke, but I do think that Sam might seem different when he returns due to all his fancy new knowledge, training, and confidence. He's still the sweet, timid Sam that Jon remembers, but now he's all competent and shit. The Lord Commander won't stand a chance against that (especially because he was clearly kind of in love with Sam before, my evidence being fierce conviction that is not open to interpretation at all — nope, not at all).

[5] Old Prompt: Board Games with Baratheons: Robert has no inside voice, Stannis won't stop quoting the rule book, and Renly finds everything hysterical.

I assume board games, card games, and "parlor" games exist in Westeros, or you can choose to do a modern AU if you wish.

[6] Wild Card Prompt: Inspiration has struck but none of the prompts fit? Use this one. I'll enjoy anything with my favorite characters or pairings.

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:
Out-of-character. Please keep everyone in character! Even if you choose to write a crack comedy fic for me, please make any humorous exaggerations based on the novels' characterizations.

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.)

Not this time, sorry.

#2 is absolutely adorable.

I know, right! Can you imagine how grumpy (but secretly pleased) Stannis would be at first? And how much Robert and Renly would laugh if they discovered Stannis had a pet cat? Poor Stannis, haha.

**I reject the show canon that Stannis doesn't like cats. He kept a pet hawk once that sat on his shoulder, followed him from room to room, and ate from his hand; what should he find so disagreeable about cats? They're independent enough to not be a bother--MOST of the time.

This is such a cute prompt! I've basically rejected all show canon for Stannis...Yeah, he might end up doing some horrible things, but the context will be drastically different.

I reject the Stannis show canon too, honestly. And I totally agree -- it's not that I don't think him capable of drastic and horrible things, but the show did a very poor job of setting it up. His character on the show seemed completely erratic.

And I'm glad you like the cat prompt! Heheh.
