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.

2/2

[originally_dw]

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn: [Prompt 2 has TWOIAF info but I think the rest are spoiler-free]

I'm open to most things as long as it's not a DNW. If you want to pull stuff apart and combine prompts in different ways, please do feel free to run with them.

1) Loyalty or fealty kink for one of my favourite knight/lord or master/servant pairs. I like it played straight (e.g. trust, intimacy, duty, the servant sees things about the master that no one else does, a bit of H/C maybe), or you can subvert it/deconstruct it and make it a little darker--obsession, for example, or codependence, or one-sided/conflicted loyalty. I'm interested in a lot of pairings that could work well with this trope: Stannis/Jon(/Mel), Stannis/Davos, Jon/Sam, Jon/Satin, Melisandre/Selyse, Brienne/Sansa, Brienne/Cat, JonCon/Rhaegar, Renly/Loras, Aegon V/Dunk, Ashara/Elia, Gerris/Quentyn, Dany/Jorah or Dany/Irri (but strongly prefer these to be dysfunctional), Asha/Tris(and/or Qarl).

2) The Red Widow. I'm open to absolutely anything about her but some suggestions: her childhood. Her cultivation of her fierce Red Widow reputation. What were her reactions to each of her husbands' deaths--and were the deaths really as innocent as she told Dunk? What was her marriage to Ser Eustace like--particularly after she was mad about his son's death for so long. How did she end up married to Gerold Lannister? Might she meet Dunk and Egg again as Lady Lannister? What about her 'mysterious disappearance'--did she run away? Did Gerold the Golden have her killed or did one of his enemies take revenge for his rumoured murders? Did Cersei ever hear tales about her ferocious great-grandmother?

3) Jaime's admiration of the Blackfish. Anything you like. Perhaps something set in the past, either some UST or a near miss or straight-up smut with a young and golden and eager Jaime and a reserved but flattered Blackfish showing him the ropes? Or you could have present-day Jaime reflecting on his complicated feelings and how they're tangled up with his sense of his own worthlessness (shit for honour, lost sword hand) compared to the Blackfish, that shining paragon of knightliness.

4) Something about House Mormont. Some kind of slice of life on Bear Island, or the relationships between Maege and her daughters (or her brother), or something to do with Lyanna left alone to rule and sending that letter to Stannis? Are they really skinchangers? How about Alysane meets Tormund and they share stories about bearfucking? Give me anything at all as long as it features Mormonts.

5) Religion. It could be as grand and mystical as Bran and Bloodraven in the weirwoods, or as simple as a character praying to the Seven. Various ironborn and their relationship with the Drowned God (especially if you include Cotter Pyke and the dead things in the water)? Vignettes of various followers of R'hllor? An atheist in a world full of gods? Feel free to include anyone you like as long as they're not on my DNW list.

6) 'The things we love destroy us every time, lad' - either a story about Jon and his relationship with the Old Bear, or use this quote as a wildcard and apply it to any of my faves.


Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:
No explicit rape, please. I don't want modern AU. I'd rather not get pure fluff. I'm not super fond of Targ infighting and the whole 'secret princes' business and I'd rather that wasn't the focus of a story, though I do believe that R+L=J. I'm generally not keen on second-person fic (unless it's for a particular effect, in which case go for it).

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.)
Yes
