Feedback post & poll

The last fics for round 12 have been posted this week. You can find the masterlist here. If you catch up on any fic and art you've missed, please take the time to comment. This goes especially for everyone who hasn't commented on their gift yet.

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 [livejournal.com profile] thinkatory and [livejournal.com profile] janie_tangerine for pinch-hitting. I hope that everyone enjoyed participating and liked the gift they received.

Since this round was relatively small, I'm wondering if maybe there's a bit of an exchange fatigue going about? So I figured I'd make a poll again to ask you guys when you want the next round to take place. I'll leave it open for a few days and then set the schedule for the next round accordingly.

[Poll #2009341]

As always, if you have any suggestions or questions, let me know. And thanks again to everyone for participating. :)

Feedback post & poll

That's it for this round of the exchange. Everything has been posted, you can find the masterlist here. I hope everyone enjoyed participating and liked the gift they received. If you haven't commented on your gift yet, please do so soon. It's rude not to thank the author or artist who made something just for you.

With the exception of one unexpected drop-out this round went exceptionally well and I'm very happy about that. My thanks to [livejournal.com profile] arcco and [livejournal.com profile] janie_tangerine for pinch-hitting - and of course thanks to everyone else who participated or commented. Btw, don't forget that if you repost your fic on AO3, you can add it to the got_exchange collection. And if you catch up on any fic and art you've missed so far, be sure to leave a comment to let the author/artist know if you liked their work.

A few rounds ago I stopped doing polls about when the next exchange should take place because the answer was always "as soon as possible", but considering how slow sign-ups were this time, I'm wondering if everyone is maybe a bit burnt out and wants a break. Or maybe everyone who skipped round nine can't wait for round ten now, I don't know.

[Poll #1963997]

If you have any feedback for this round or suggestions for future rounds, please let me know. Again, thanks everyone for making this exchange possible. :)

Oh, and one last thing: the mods of [livejournal.com profile] smutty_westeros asked me to let you know that sign-ups for the second round of their ASOIAF/GOT smut exchange are currently open.

Feedback post

That's it for round six, everything has been posted. You can find the masterlist here. Comments have been pretty slow this round, so if you catch up on some of the fics you've missed, it'd be nice if you could also comment on them. Some people haven't commented yet on their own gifts. That's incredibly rude to the person who wrote for you, so please make sure to comment on the fic written for you if you haven't done so yet.

Thanks to everyone who has participated this time. It was a small round, but I hope everyone still enjoyed it. Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] youremyqueen, [livejournal.com profile] kylathelurker and [livejournal.com profile] breve for pinch-hitting: you're all wonderful and I can't thank you enough.

I hope everyone is up for another exchange in the near future. Since real life is currently a bit busy for me and I'm somewhat less flexible than usual, I'll just go ahead and suggest the following schedule for round 7:

Sign-ups open from May 8th to May 17th
Assignments sent out on Sunday, May 19th
Deadline on Sunday, July 7th
Posting starts on July 8th


[Poll #1911427]


If there are reasons why this schedule is generally terrible (if it coincides with other ASOIAF exchanges or big bangs or something like that), please tell me. As always I'm open to any suggestions or ideas to make this exchange more enjoyable for everyone. If you have any questions or complaints, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Btw, I'm thinking of changing the number of prompts you ask for in your sign-up to 4-6 (instead of 3-5), because my experience so far has been that people who only give me 3 prompts are incredibly difficult to assign. ;) Just a heads-up in case you already want to start thinking about your prompts.

Again, thanks to all of you for participating. Is there still any interest for the comment fic meme? I always enjoy it a lot, but there wasn't an awful lot of participation the last few times, probably because of the kinkmeme. But of course I'll post it tonight or tomorrow if you want me to. :)

All the fics of round five have been posted: you can find the masterlist [Poll #1891992]

If enough people are okay with this, that's what we'll do. If not, I'll post a proper poll to see if the majority wants to wait until March or April or whenever. I'd also like to hear your opinions on whether I should post a poll again after the next exchange or whether I should just decide on a schedule and be done with it.

If you have any other suggestions, questions or complaints, please let me know (comment here or send me a PM/email).

Again, thanks to all of you for participating and making this exchange possible. The comment fic meme will be up tomorrow. It was a bit slow the last times, but maybe people feel more inspired this time. ;)

Round four of the exchange is over. [Poll #1872147]

I should add to that that I won't be home in early November, so the sign-up post either goes up in mid-October so I can do the assignments before I leave, or in mid-November when I'm back. Just in case that makes a difference to anyone.

Btw, the comment fic meme is up and running. More prompts and fills are very welcome. Don't be shy, go and prompt and write. ;)

Feedback post and poll

The last entry of round three was posted today. You can find the masterlist [Poll #1852716]


Two more questions: do you want me to post a list of unfilled prompts like the last two times? I'm willing to do it, but I was under the impression that nobody really cared last time. Let me know if you want it.

Second: after the first two exchange rounds we had a comment fic meme here on this comm. Back then there was no very active kinkmeme yet, but now that there is one ... do you still want to do this? I'd love to have another because the last two were so much fun, but nothing is sadder than a fic meme in which nobody participates. So, comment fic meme yes or no?

So, everything has been posted. I hope everybody liked their gift. The masterlist is [Poll #1824064][Poll #1824065]


Independently from the exchange, I will post a new comment fic meme tomorrow. It was a huge success last time, and I thought it would be nice to do this again, just to tide us over to the next exchange, whenever that will be. For those of you who weren't around yet for the first comment fic meme: here's the masterlist of all fills from last time (and there were about 30 ficlets written, so it's worth having a look if you missed it).

Again: thanks to everybody for writing all these wonderful fics, drawing gorgeous pictures, and generally making this exchange so much fun. I hope we can do this again soon. :)

Final poll

The results of the poll so far: over 50% (15 people out of 28) voted for the next exchange taking place in December/January. I suggest the following schedule:[Poll #1796565]

If you want to participate, please do vote so I know if this schedule is any good or not. Or tell me that I should stop with my stupid polls and just decide. ;) After this I'll leave you alone until the sign-ups.

Edit: Looks like this schedule works for most people. Sorry to those of you who won't be able to participate this time, but I hope you'll be around for the spring exchange. The sign-up post will be up next Wednesday. :)

Feedback post & poll

That's it,  the exchange is over, everything has been posted. A masterlist has been compiled [Poll #1796008][Poll #1796009][Poll #1796010]

Since this is the first time I've organised an exchange, some feedback about what you liked or disliked would be nice. Did you dislike anything about the organisation? About the sign-up form? About the posting schedule? About the way I generally ran things? Just let me know. I'm not saying that I will agree with every suggestion, but I definitely want to hear and think about them. ^^ Feel also free to leave any other sort of feedback on the exchange, if it made you discover new pairings, if you want to tell people about your favourite fic/art, whatever.

Oh, and one last question: depending on how much time will pass until the next exchange, would you be interested in participating in a kinkmeme or commentfics or writing challenges here on this comm to tide us over until the next exchange? I'm just asking because I wouldn't mind organising something, but there's no point to it if nobody wants to participate anyway.
