Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences?
Yes and yes. I generally prefer the books to the show, especially when it comes to how I picture the characters and differences in their characterizations. For example, Stannis charging into battle, yelling and waving a sword? No way. Samwell as a randy White Knight of the Friendzone? Come on, he wasn't THAT bad in the books. (That said, I like both of those actors; I just prefer their characters like they are in the novels.)

What kind of gift can you make?

Fic and/or fanart? Fic only

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Stannis, all the Baratheons (especially Stannis, Renly, and Robert), Samwell Tarly, Davos Seaworth, Jon Snow, the Tyrells, the Lannisters, the Martells

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: I really don't care for the Cleganes, and I have zero headcanon or imagination regarding the Ironfolk.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? character studies, gen, angst, slash, het, femslash, comedy, crack. I've never written an AU in my life, but I'm willing to try. I'm even willing to try one of these Modern!AUs I hear so much about. I admit I'm not the best at fluff.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? I am extensively obsessed with both Stannis and Samwell. Weird combination of favorite characters, yes, I know.

What kind of gift do you want to receive?

Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters: Stannis, all the Baratheons (especially Stannis, Renly, and Robert), Samwell Tarly, Davos Seaworth, Jon Snow, the Tyrells, the Lannisters, the Martells
Pairings I Like (not exhaustive): Stannis/Davos, Selyse, Ned Stark (see prompts); Samwell Tarly/Gilly, Jon Snow, Leo Tyrell (see prompts); Renly/Loras; Robert/war (anyone else think that's what he meant by "Lyanna?")

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: I won't put a moratorium on any character or pairing.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? I love gen and character studies the best. I also enjoy slash. I enjoy fluff at times, but I'm of the opinion that there are some characters you can't force fluff on. Angst is good when it's raw and tinged with irony.

Hmm, I don't think I've seen Stannis/Ned anywhere. It would certainly give a new meaning to all the times Stannis says things like: "Ned Stark was an honorable man, BUT HE WAS NO FRIEND OF MINE!" Seriously, though, there needs to be more fic where the two interact because their characters are so very similar with a couple exceptions, such as having loving relationships with their siblings.

I agree! I would even just like to see a scene with them interacting at all, in a more canon-compliant fashion. They really are similar in many ways, and I think it's interesting only one of them so wants to insist that they were never friends. Stannis definitely has some ~feelings of resentment there. ;)

Hi there, thanks for signing up. One question: do you have any specific preferences with regards to pairings you can write? Same as the ones you requested? Or is any pairing between your favourite characters okay?

RE: 1/2 j_okay June 3 2015, 17:03:25 UTC
Hi! Sorry for leaving that bit out.

Certainly anything listed in my requested pairings is okay:

Stannis/Davos, Selyse, Ned Stark; Samwell Tarly/Gilly, Jon Snow, Leo Tyrell; Renly/Loras; Robert/war (lulz)

But even that's not an exhaustive list. I'd be okay with almost any pairing that involves one of my favorite characters, or at the very least, I would consider it and give it a shot. I'm open to possibilities!

However, I will say that I can't write good fluff when it comes to certain characters (Stannis), but that's more of a genre issue.

Okay, thank you. I just prefer to ask before I end up assigning a bunch of prompts to someone that will make them despair. ;)
