A Song of Ice and Fire - Fanfic and Fanart Exchange

My apologies for taking so long to post the masterlist; between the holidays and Yuletide the last week was pretty busy. You can find this round's masterlist here. Thank you to everyone who participated, and a special thank you to vanaofthevalar for pinch-hitting. I hope that everyone enjoyed participating and liked the gift they received. If you haven't commented on your gift yet, please remember to do so as soon as possible. And if you catch up on any other fics you've missed, take the time to leave a little comment, too.

If you repost your fic on AO3, you can add it to the got_exchange collection. I think I need a small modding break, and considering the low signup numbers this time maybe some of you also need a small writing break, so I'll probably wait until spring with the next round, if that's all right with everybody. Maybe until March or April, I'll see what could work. As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions, let me know. :)

The deadline is today. Unless we've agreed on an extension, you should send in your fic/art by the end of the day. If you need a few more days to finish your work, please let me know.  If, for whatever reason, you won't be able to finish your fic/art at all, tell me as well so I can find a pinch-hitter.

Posting starts tomorrow with one fic/art per day. Usually I switch to two posts per day once everyone has sent in their work. Please do not post your fic or art elsewhere before it has been posted here.

And the usual request to all members of the community, not just the participants: please comment. Nobody expects you to read fics you're not interested in, but if you read something anyway and enjoyed it, it doesn't take that much time and effort to write a short comment to tell the author or artist you liked their work. And it should go without saying that you are expected to leave a proper comment on the fic/art made for you; not thanking the person who spent so much time writing/drawing something for you is incredibly rude.

I hope everyone enjoyed working on their fic/art and that you will all like your gift.

The deadline for the exchange is in three weeks, on Sunday, November 29th. The official check-in post will be up at the end of the week, but if you already know that you will have to drop out, please let me know as soon as possible so I can start looking for a pinch-hitter.

If you need a beta reader, you can contact someone from this list. You can also still sign up there to beta read for other people. If you have any problems or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you want to participate in this round of the exchange, please remember to sign up by tomorrow (Friday). As always, sign-ups will remain open until I put a big red "sign-ups are closed" on the sign-up post.

Sign up here.

You should receive your assignment on Sunday. You can also still sign up to beta read for other participants.

If you repost your fic on AO3, you can add it to the got_exchange collection. Thanks to everyone who has participated by writing, drawing, beta-reading, and commenting, and a special thank you to yaakov and leapylion3 for pinch-hitting. I hope that everyone enjoyed participating and liked the gift they received.

I'm going to figure out a schedule for the next round soon, but I'm thinking that we could fit in another round this year, maybe with sign-ups in early October and a deadline in late November - that way everything should be done before Yuletide and various Secret Santa deadlines in December. Does that sound okay?

Any feedback and suggestions are, as always, welcome. And again, I'm really sorry about the messy posting towards the end.

I just sent out the assignments. Please make sure you have received an email from gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com. If you haven't, tell me right away. I hope everyone is okay with their assignment. Most of you will probably not like all of the prompts you've been assigned, but I did my best to give everyone at least two or three prompts with characters/pairings they like. Since there have been misunderstandings about this before: you only have to fill one prompt, not several.

If you have any questions about your prompts, please contact me, not your giftee. If you have to drop out for whatever reason, tell me as soon as possible so I can look for a pinch-hitter. Don't just disappear without a word.

For the record, there are 37 participants this time. Thanks to everyone for participating and have fun with your prompts.

I just closed the poll. About half of you voted for the next round happening right away, but since the other half voted for sign-ups later, I've decided to wait for a few weeks to accommodate as many people as possible. So here's the schedule for round 13:

- sign-ups will open on Monday, June 1st
- sign-ups will close on Friday, June 12th
- assignments will be sent out on Sunday, June 14th
- obligatory check-in post on July 18th
- the deadline for your completed fic/art is Sunday, August 2nd
- posting will start on Monday, August 3rd

I hope that works for most of you. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
