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?
Read all books/short stories, current with the show. No preference between show or book canon either as a writer or recipient.

What kind of gift can you make?
Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
I’m happy and comfortable writing just about any characters.
Preferred characters to write include: Lannisters of all generations and levels of consanguinuity, Stannis, Davos, Shireen, Brienne, Sansa, Asha (Yara), Theon.
Preferred ships: Jaime/Brienne, Stannis/Davos, Dany/Yara, Sansa/Margaery

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about:
Historical Targaryens are not my forte.
I would prefer not to write Sansa/Sandor, Sansa/Petyr, or Stark-cest, including Jon/Sansa. (I’m OK with Jaime/Cersei and Greyjoy-cest, however.)

What genres/tropes/kinks/types of fic/art can you write/draw?
Character study, porn, humor, modern AU – I’ve written a lot of different things and have no preferences. I’m comfortable with most tropes or kinks with a few narrow exceptions – I don’t write student/teacher (modern setting AU) scenarios, and kinks that focus on any kind of bodily fluid are not my thing.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you?
Can’t think of anything.

What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic or fanart

Preferred characters and/or pairings:
Characters: Jaime, Cersei, Brienne, Stannis, Davos, Shireen, Dany, Asha (Yara), Sansa, Rickon, Margaery
Preferred ships: Jaime/Brienne, Stannis/Davos, Dany/Yara, Sansa/Margaery

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about:
Littlefinger. I just don’t care about him.

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 good with Gen, het, slash, femslash all. Ratings from G to E. (Note: Just because some of the following list suggests porny fic likes doesn’t mean I expect explicit fic/art!) Tropes/Kinks I generally dig: Future fic (including with child characters grown to adults), hurt/comfort (physical and/or emotional), whump, sex pollen, fuck or die, dubcon generally (especially when both/all parties are consenting only under duress), werewolves (just not a/b/o type!), canon divergence, first time (both first time sex ever and first time for a particular pairing), sex magic, pegging, praise kink, sharing a bed, huddling for warmth, falling asleep on someone, cuddling, spooning, competitive sex games (who can make the other orgasm the fastest, who can resist orgasm the longest, who can successfully finish a task while the other partner tries to get them off or tries to entice them into sex, etc), begging, sex as an emotional outlet in the wake of tragedy, battle couples, alternate magical system AUs, sex between platonic friends

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

1. Daenerys/Yara (show canon).
Fic: I love their dynamic in the show. Feel free to incorporate book canon however you like as well, but I'd love to see a glimpse of how they manage their alliance and the oncoming war in Westeros while also navigating a growing relationship. Alternately, future-fic with Dany as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and Yara as Princess/Lady Paramount of the Iron Islands where they remain lovers while also marrying for dynastic reasons. (Don't care who they're married to or whether the husbands know or care about the relationship.) Another option - Dany wins the coming war(s), doesn't become queen, but survives and maintains a relationship with Yara somehow.

Art: Dany and Yara stealing a private moment together. Dany and Yara greeting one another as ruling queens. Yara meeting one of the dragons with Dany.

2. Jaime/Brienne
Future fic. I don’t know that either will survive the series, but I love imagining ways in which they might. How? It can be fluffy, or tragic, but Jaime and Brienne in 10 years’ time – are they lovers? Enemies? Might they have gone a long time without seeing the other? What’s changed?

I’d also be game for just about anything tropey with these two – I could particularly see huddling for warmth or sharing a bed as fodder for a fun fic, and I would be fascinated - if you wanted to try something explicit – to see some praise kink in this relationship.

3. Sansa/Margaery and Sansa/Willas. The Tyrell plot to smuggle Sansa to Highgarden and marry her to Willas succeeds, and he is a good husband to Sansa who cares for him deeply, but it's Margaery that Sansa loves. Love is generally considered more free in the Reach, but navigating this triangle is difficult for all involved. (Happy or angsty or smutty all OK.)

Art: Sansa in Highgarden, or Sansa in a Godswood.

4. Adult!Shireen/Rickon. They are head over heels for one another. Only problem is, they're both so stubborn they're the only ones who refuse to admit it. (Lighter tone preferred, modern AU ok!)

Art: Shireen and Shaggydog. Shireen in a modern AU setting.

5. Lyanna Mormont (show canon).
Fic or Art: Literally anything about her kicking ass and taking names. Future-fic with her as Lady of Bear Island very welcome. Ship her with anyone you please (Rickon? Arya? Shireen? Jon?), I don't care as long as she's happy (and an older teen or adult if there's anything remotely sexual going on).

6. Yara Greyjoy (show canon)
When last we saw Yara she was her uncle Euron's prisoner. I would love to see a fic about her imprisonment, or her rescue by Theon. Or perhaps she saves herself! (This could also be combined with my Dany/Yara prompts above.)

Art: Yara free, post-captivity. Returning to the Iron Islands. Returning to Dany.

Things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art:
Student/teacher relationships in a modern AU. Any fic or art that’s very focused on bodily fluids or related kinks of any kind.

Are you willing to pinch hit?
You can ask!
