A Song of Ice and Fire - Fanfic and Fanart Exchange

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. :)

I know this is a few days earlier than planned, but I won't be home in the next few days and I wanted to get this going before I leave. The deadline is in less than two weeks: Sunday, January 29th. Please reply to this post to tell me how things are going with your fic/art: will you be finished in time? Are you still participating, but won't finish in time and need an extension? Do you have to drop out?

Especially if you have to drop out, please tell me. I know it's a bit embarrassing, but it's okay, it happens. But it's a lot better for everyone involved if you tell me as soon as possible so I can look for a pinch hitter. Don't just disappear, or, worse, string me along until the deadline and then disappear. If you can't finish the fic/art for your giftee, at least give someone else enough time to do it.
If all is well and you're diligently working on your assignment, please just drop me a quick line here so I know you're still around and haven't forgotten about the exchange. ;) The entire point of this post is really just to reassure me.

If you don't reply to this post in the next couple of days, you'll get an e-mail from me. If you don't reply to that either, I'll assume that you have dropped out without a word (shame on you) and will start looking for a pinch hitter.


When you send in your fic/art, please include a header:
Title:
Author/Artist:
For:
Pairings/Characters:
Rating:
Words:
Warnings (if necessary; please also warn for spoilers)
Prompt:
(Summary, if the prompt was rather vague)

I'd really appreciate it if the writers among you could also include html tags for italics etc. I didn't ask for it last time and ended up regretting it a little, so please do me a favour, include the html and check if the formatting works properly before you send it to me. Thank you. :)

I have just sent out the assignments. Please make sure you have received an e-mail from gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com. If you haven't, please tell me right away. I hope everyone is okay with their assignments. It wasn't always easy to come up with a solution that would work for everyone, but I hope that I've managed. In most cases, you probably won't like all of the prompts you've been given, but I think that everyone should have at least two or three prompts they should be able to work with.
Because someone asked me last time: you only have to write/draw ONE of the prompts. There are only several prompts so you have a choice. Of course you can do several if you like. ^^

As I said before, if you have any questions about your prompts, please contact me, not your giftee. If you have to drop out, tell me as soon as possible so I can look for a pinch hitter. If you want to yell at me for giving you horrible prompts, you can do that, but I'm afraid I can't really change it anymore.

I also wanted to remind you that we have a more detailed beta reader post this time: you can still sign up and offer your beta reading skills, if you like. If you need a beta reader, don't hesitate to contact the people on that list, they signed up for a reason. ;)

Oh, and I'm very happy to announce that we have 35 participants, 5 more than last time. For those of you who like statistics (like me): 20 of them are first-time participants, the other 15 were already around the first time.
Thanks to everybody for participating. :) I hope that you like the prompts you've been given, and that you'll enjoy writing/drawing them.

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.
