A Song of Ice and Fire - Fanfic and Fanart Exchange

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. ;)

The deadline is today. Unless we've agreed on an extension, you should send me your fic/art by the end of the day. If there are any problems and you need a few more days, please let me know.

Posting starts tomorrow. Since we have fewer participants than last time, I will only post one fic every day for the next week. If I have received everyone's fic/art by then and there are no unexpected last-minute disappearances, I will probably change that to two posts a day after Christmas so you don't have to wait for your gift quite so long. I hope that's okay for everybody.

And the usual request to all members of the community, not just the participants: please, please comment. After every exchange round I hear from some people how disappointed they are by the lack of comments in this community, and I think it's really a pity that many people can't be bothered to leave a short comment on a fic they like. Nobody expects you to read fics you're not interested in, but if you read something anyway, it doesn't take that much time and effort to write one or two sentences to tell the author you liked their work. Of course you don't 'owe' anyone comments, it's just a nice thing to do. And it should go without saying that you are expected to leave a proper comment on the fic/art made just for you; anything else is just rude to the person who spent so much time writing/drawing something for you.

/modly nagging. I hope everyone enjoyed participating so far and will like their gift.

Don't forget that the deadline for the exchange is in three weeks, on Sunday, December 16th. As I said before, I would really appreciate it if everyone could try and finish their fic/art in time and not a week later. I will post the proper check-in post in a week, but if anyone already knows that you will have to drop out, please let me know as soon as possible. It's easier to find a pinch-hitter now than a week before Christmas.
As always, we have a beta reader post in case you need someone to beta for you. You can also still sign up to beta read if you want to. If you have any other problems or questions, don't hesitate to ask.

The sign-ups for this round close on Friday. If you want to participate and haven't signed up yet, you should do so in the next two days.

Sign up here.

Thanks to everyone who has already signed up. You will receive an e-mail with your assignment on Sunday.

Don't forget that there's also a sign-up post for beta readers.
