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.

Book/Show?: I've read the books (including the novellas and A World of Ice and Fire) but I have only seen the show up to the third season (though I know the plot of later seasons). No spoiler restrictions.

What kind of gift can you make?
Fanfiction

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
The Lannisters (including the royal children), Stannis Baratheon, Davos Seaworth, Shireen Baratheon, Seylse Florent, Rhaelle Targaryen, Aerys Targaryen, The Tyrells, Lysa Arryn

Canon pairings preferred, but I'm flexible.

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about:

I'm not much for writing Varys, Petyr, or Tyrion as main or POV characters. I just don't have the skill. I would greatly prefer not to write SanSan or Starkcest.

What genres/tropes/kinks/types of fic/art can you write/draw?

I'm up for just about anything, so long as it is non-explicit. I would like to stay in the canon-verse, but canon divergence is a-okay. I don't trust myself to write a serviceable AU fic.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you?

Nope.

What kind of gift do you want to receive?

Fanfiction or fanart (your choice)

Preferred characters and/or pairings:

Any characters, though I would prefer pre-Robert's Rebellion (perhaps even before the Defiance of Duskendale), pre-Jon Arryn's death, or during A Clash of Kings.

I'm open to any pairings.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about:

Honestly, I'm up for anything.

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.)

I'm not a fan of AUs, but canon divergence is fun. Staying focused on Westeros is a plus. Any pairings are fine so long as they're non-explicit.

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

1. Cersei always dreamed of marrying a dragon prince, but she was sold off to a boorish stag instead. Robert expected a love match with Lyanna Stark, but found himself in a political marriage shackled to Cersei Lannister. A fic dealing with Cersei and Robert's early years would be interesting. Maybe they can bond in some way?

2. A character study of Rhaelle Targaryen, the lonesome queen. She's suffered miscarriages and stillbirths and cradle deaths. How does this effect her relationship with her son(s)? Does she want something beyond being a kept queen to her unhinged and unfaithful brother? What's her mental state like? Is she just as mad as her brother?

3. I really like the relationship between Bran and Tyrion. Maybe they could be penpals?

4. Arya is brought to Riverrun after her father's death, rejoining her brother and mother. With war raging in the Riverlands, Arya desperately wants to join the fighting and develops an odd relationship with one of her brother's prisoners--the Kingslayer.

Things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:

Again, explicit sexual content. Have all the heavy petting and making out you find necessary, though!

Are you willing to pinch hit?

Unfortunately not.
