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 requesting both fic and art, please make sure to write prompts that work for both. Either phrase your prompts in a way that works 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."

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 very rare pair. One or two crossover prompts or out there AUs are fine, but not six of them. Rare ships and characters are of course very welcome, but if you request only pairings that literally no other participant offered to write/draw, I will have trouble assigning you.

I reserve the right to ask you to add more offers or to edit your requests if you are unmatchable in either direction by the end of the signup period. I will contact any unmatchable participants on the 30th - you will have 24 hours to reply or I will have to delete your signup.

If you don't want to post your email address here, just fill in 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!

Post your fic/art to this subcollection on AO3 by November 14th, 11.59pm UTC. If you need an extension or if you have to drop out, please contact me as soon as possible. Don't just disappear.

Please make sure your fic is correctly formatted when you post it. 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 questions, comments, suggestions, problems? Send me a PM or an email to gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com. Please read the FAQ first, though, maybe your question has already been answered there.

Have you read the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences?
Just the show, sorry.


What kind of gift can you make?

Fic and/or fanart?
Fic.

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
The Martells and Sand Snakes, any given Lannister, Sansa, Margaery, Olenna, Davos, Brienne, Dany, Yara. I'd be really down for Sansa/Margaery, Sansa/Tyrion, Dany/Yara, Yara/Ellaria, Oberyn/Ellaria, Jaime/Cersei, and, yeah, Tyene/Bronn.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about:
Ramsay and Littlefinger. And while I can write Varys, Melisandre, Jon Snow, and Theon Greyjoy as minor characters, I really can't carry them off as mains. As for pairings, I'm mostly pretty open. My only NOTPs are Sansa/Hound, Sansa/Ramsay, and Sansa/Littlefinger.

What genres/tropes/kinks/types of fic/art can you write/draw?
Genres: Gen, romance, smut, comedy, angst.
Tropes: Pre-canon fic, canon divergence AUs, roleswap AUs, fix-it fic, character studies, arranged/accidental/forced marriages. That's just what I can think of off the top of my head, there aren't a lot of tropes I'm not willing to try!
Kinks: Incest, dubcon. That's about it.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you?
Canon divergence and roleswap are really the only kinds of AUs I can write, and I could only write a crossover if it was with a canon with a similar setting, e.g, Lord of the Rings. Modern AUs of any kind (university, coffee shop, etc.) are just not my strong suit at all. Annnnd dubcon is as low on the consent spectrum as I'm willing to go. I won't do rape, physical/sexual child abuse (verbal/emotional, a la Tywin to Tyrion, is okay), bestiality, or animal abuse.

What kind of gift do you want to receive?

Fic and/or fanart?
Either! I love both. :DDDD

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
Martells, Sand Snakes, Lannisters, Starks. I'm really interested in Oberyn/Ellaria as a couple and them as parents to his/their daughters. I was also really into Yara/Ellaria for the literal thirty seconds that went on in canon. Annnnd I love Jaime/Cersei more than is probably healthy for me. /o\

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about:
Ramsay, Littlefinger, any pairing or plot involving them ever.

What genres/tropes/kinks/types of fic/art do you generally enjoy? (Gen, slash, femslash, het, angst, fluff, romance, smut, character studies, AUs, future fics, canon divergence etc.)
Genres: Gen, het, femslash, romance, smut.
Tropes: Pre-canon fic, canon divergence AUs, fix-it fic, character studies,

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

Fic prompts:

1. Fix-it fic! Cersei just left Ellaria and Tyene in that cell like a Bond villain, figure out some way to save them! Oberyn has five offscreen daughters left, three of which are Ellaria's, maybe they come and rescue their mom and sister? Maybe Theon plans a prisonbreak for Yara and they rescue those two along the way? Maybe Ellaria does James Bond it up some way and get them out? Or Bronn lets them go because he was into Tyene for a hot minute before? Whatever you want, I'm not picky about it! If you want to go the extra mile (THE VERY OPTIONAL, NOT AT ALL REQUIRED EXTRA MILE), I would be so down for Ellaria and Tyene going to get their revenge on Cersei, with a side of some Yara/Ellaria along the destroying-all-Lannisters way. #JusticeForSandSnakes

2. Pre-canon: I would actually love some Oberyn/Ellaria history fic. How did they meet? How did they come to be in a long-term relationship that he doesn't seem to have had with any of his other daughters' mothers? What was it like for Ellaria when they collected his older daughters? What role did Ellaria have in their lives as children? Judging by the actresses' ages (yes, I know they're older in the books), Obara would have been six and Nymeria four when Tyene was born, and Obara had said she was very young when Oberyn decided to bring her home to Sunspear. How did all of this play out? Basically, pick a point in Oberyn and Ellaria's relationship and give me their romance and/or some family feels, please? :D?

3. Pre-canon: I'm really into the idea of seeing the start of Jaime and Cersei's romantic/sexual relationship. /o\ I'd love to see something where they go to King's Landing as teens that have been having UST all over the place, having to sit through an awkward dinner where some Targ or other rhapsodizes about why sisterfucking is superior to all other kinds of fucking, and then their relationship goes to where we all know it's going. Can be smut, or can just be really touching in a wildly fucked up way, or

4. Gen character study: Cat, Cersei, Ellaria, Dany. I would be really into a character study dealing with their feelings about motherhood and the various forms that's taken for them. Any one of them, or all four each getting their own section on it. If just Cersei, I'm really interested in her thoughts/feelings on her dead child with Robert that she told Cat about way back in S1. If you go for the all four option, I'm really interested in a compare/contrast of Cat on Jon vs Ellaria on Oberyn's four daughters that aren't hers. Again, if you want to go for the extra mile (still not a requirement!), make it a Five Things with all four + a far future section on Sansa with her first child.

Art prompts:

1. Something fluffy with Oberyn and Ellaria! Them being romantic with each other, or cuddling when she was pregnant, or just being a family with his/their girls.

2. Something very angsty with Jaime and Cersei before or during her wedding to Robert.

3.Yara/Ellaria kissing or just hanging on each other in a silent moment of having just escaped with their lives. Or if you want to take this to a very NSFW place, I am not going to say no.

4. Yara/Dany flirting or kissing. See above on openness to NSFW.

Things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:
Rape, bestiality, phyiscal or sexual abuse of a child, extreme violence/gore, modern AUS of any kind.


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.)
Sure, I'm in.
