Active email address: cleromance@gmail.com Do you have any book vs. show preferences? spoilers are fine, I prefer book canon with some show influences (show ages/appearances, inclusions of show interactions that don’t contradict book canon) but can do either.
What kind of gift can you make? fic
Preferred characters and/or pairings: My favorites are Sam Tarly, Jon Snow, Ygritte, and Theon Greyjoy. I love the Night's Watch (esp Jeor Mormont, Aemon, Benjen, Qhorin, Satin, and Dolorous Edd) and the wildlings (esp Gilly, Val, Mance, and Tormund). In order, my preferred ships are Jon/Sam, Jon/Theon, Jon/Ygritte, Gilly/Ygritte, Pyp/Grenn, Stark fam gen (potentially w/ships on the side), Sansa/Myranda Royce, Gilly/Sam, Robb/Jeyne W, Asha/Alysane M, Robb/Roslin, and Asha & Theon gen (I also like Ygritte/women and Sam/anyone). In order of most to least preferred, other characters I’ll try my hand at (esp if in prompts with characters listed above): Starks alive at the start of AGOT (incl Catelyn), Mormonts other than Jorah, Sarella/Alleras, Jeyne P, most Northerners except Boltons, Jeyne W, Meera and Jojen Reed, Alys Karstark, Brienne of Tarth, Asha, Aeron, and Alannys Greyjoy, Rodrik Harlaw, Roslin Frey, Walda Frey, Davos Seaworth. Willing to consider prompts that ship those characters together unless it's incestuous/creepy. I’ll consider other characters who aren't in the DNW list.
Characters and/or pairings you will NOT write about: Targaryens except Aemon; Boltons; Cleganes; Freys except Roslin and Walda; Petyr Baelish; Craster; Jorah Mormont; Victarion, Euron and Balon Greyjoy; Joffrey Baratheon; Leo Tyrell; Jon Connington. However, if the story focuses on a character in the fav section, and includes past relationships/interactions with the characters listed, that’s probably fine (esp if it’s in an abuse recovery context). I'm not esp interested in characters that died pre-AGOT but will not automatically discount prompts that involve them. I’d prefer not to write Baratheons, Arryns, Tyrells, Martells (Sandses are fine), Lannisters, or the BwB as central characters, but I’m willing to write them as supporting characters. I won't write incest, explicit sex where character(s) are underage (aged up or nonsexual is fine), bestiality, or any pairings involving one of the characters listed above (except as referenced/dealing from the fallout/etc). I’ll only write Theon/Robb and Sansa/Margaery as a background ship. Other Hard No pairings: Jon/Satin, Stannis/Sansa, Melisandre/Jon, Asha/Tris, Asha/Qarl, Asha/Stannis, Asha/Justin Massey, Robb/Dacey.
What kind of genres can you write? Romcoms/humor (not “crack”); bittersweet/light angst with hopeful endings; H/C; dialogue & introspection; studies on char relationships/dynamics (romantic and not); slice of life. Can do gen & porn. Willing to do heavy stuff like abuse, mental illness, oppression, and sexual assault (esp recovery thereof). Can do individual character studies, but prefer doing studies of relationship dynamics. I like alt-canon/canon divergence AUs, but am also willing to try canon-compliant fic and other kinds of AUs (incl modern au). I prefer m/m and f/f to m/f, and I prefer duos to poly, but won’t automatically discount them.
Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? If possible, I'd like the chance to combine prompts and include multiple of my favs! I mostly write fic under 10k words, so I'll have trouble with anything too involved. I’d rather not write anything focused on R+L=J, who gets which throne, or involved/convoluted theories. Otherwise, au types I’m not wild about: mobs; corporate; soulmates; reincarnation; historical; MCU crossovers/fusions; daemons; apocalypse. I DO like fairy tale AUs, theatre aus, HS/college aus, and prompts involving magic (ie skinchanging/ghosts/werewolves).
PART TWO: What kind of gift do you want to receive?cleromancy_ficJune 2 2015, 21:27:40 UTC
What kind of gift do you want to receive? Fic and/or fanart? fic!
Preferred characters and/or pairings: My favorite characters are Sam Tarly, Jon Snow, Theon Greyjoy, and Ygritte. My top ships are Jon/Sam (explicitly romantic please), Theon/Jon, Sam/Alleras (trans Alleras only; if you’re not certain you can do it respectfully, please pick a different ship), Gilly/Ygritte, and Sam/Gilly. I love all the Starks and would love if Stark family relationships are involved if relevant/possible (something exploring gen Catelyn & Jon or gen Sansa & Jon relationships would be AMAZING). I also love the Night Watch and the wildlings (especially Gilly, Pyp, Grenn, Satin, Edd, Val, Mance, Qhorin, Benjen, Jeor, and Tormund), and would love if they were involved. Ditto for Mormonts other than Jorah and most Northerners in general aside from Boltons (except Walda, she’s cool). I really love stuff exploring friendship and family/sibling relationships as well as stuff exploring more complicated, tense relationships like Catelyn & Jon’s.
Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: Cleganes, Boltons (unless you’re dealing with the fallout of the abuse Theon and others faced at their hands), Petyr Baelish, Freys aside from Roslin and Walda, Craster, Targaryens except Aemon, Balon, Victarion and Euron Greyjoy (Balon is alright if his presence in the story is primarily through his impact on Theon-same with Randyll Tarly and Sam), Robert Baratheon, Tywin Lannister, Jorah Mormont, and any ships involving those characters (again, unless it’s dealing with the impact they had on a character that I actually like). PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE, AT ALL, NOT EVEN A LITTLE: Jon/Satin (Satin on his own or shipped with another character is GREAT); Sansan; incest (mentions of canon incest is ok); Asha/Tris or Qarl or Stannis or Justin; Jon/Melisandre.
What genre of fic/art do you generally want? I tend to prefer happyish fic that also deals with (or at least doesn’t dismiss) heavier stuff. I also like angstier stuff IF it’s focused on recovery, rebuilding, and/or hope, and doesn’t dismiss or ignore happy things. So EXTREME fluff and EXTREME angst aren’t really favs, but if you're gonna err on one side I'd prefer it to be on the fluff side. I like humor but I’m not wild about “crack.” I like slice of life, H/C, and alternate canon (/what-if/canon divergent) AUs best, but I’m not OPPOSED to canon-compliant stuff, modern AUs, or futurefic. I love get-together fic, especially when pining is involved. I also really really love shippy fic that also places a high importance on relationships outside of the main ship. Relationship studies are a big fav.
PART THREE: Promptscleromancy_ficJune 2 2015, 21:44:07 UTC
Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:
1.) Sam keeps Jon in check. Jon gets angry at someone (poss for being rude to Sam), and starts looking like he might resort to violence. The other person sneers at him and says, “Call off your dog, Tarly.” BC everyone knows when Sam says “heel,” Jon heels, and when Sam says “down, boy,” Jon backs down. I’d like something exploring the checks and balances in their relationship, esp Sam gently calming Jon down, but also if you include Jon balancing out Sam, and like, being protective and encouraging Sam to have more faith in himself, I’d love it. ESPECIALLY if they get together over the course of the fic (as opposed to established relationship). Canon compliant, alt-canon AU, modern AU, w/e. 2.) Love letters between Jon and Sam (or another one of my ships; anything but modern AU). "I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal." -Vita Sackville-West’s letter to Virginia Woolfe 3.) Jon/Theon with Theon at the Wall. Either alt-canon AU where he took the Black or futurefic. 4.) Canonverse or canon au Jon realizes he’s attracted to men. Maybe he sees his crush on Jaime Lannister or Mance Rayder for what it is, maybe he wonders why he’s so upset at Sam for trying to help Gilly (that scene screamed jealousy to me), maybe he walked in on Theon with Patrek Mallister (or a stableboy or whatever, just not Robb for this prompt, please.) or Pyp with Grenn and can’t get the image out of his mind. Maybe he’s on watch duty with Sam or getting along with Theon for once and there’s a weird intense moment and Jon gets the urge to kiss him. Maybe, pre-Ygritte, he wonders why he’s never been interested in girls (if you share my HC that he’s demisexual in his attraction to women) and that leads to some uncomfortable realizations. Navel-gazing and light angst welcome (both of the “what would my father/the object of my affections think” and assumed-to-be unrequited feelings variety), but so is humor; a mix of both would be ideal. I'd love it if he goes on to have a relationship with Theon or Sam (or even Ygritte, if you include a discussion of this with her). This prompt may be difficult to do respectfully if you’re straight. 5.) Something dealing with Sam becoming a maester. Could be canon-compliant (and focus on Sam in Oldtown or Sam going back to the Wall) or an au where Sam ran away to become a maester instead of going to the Wall (bonus if Sam winds up on the Wall somehow anyway). Prefer Shippy but won’t complain about gen. 6.) Canon divergence fostering AU with one of my faves. Suggestions: Sam fostering at Winterfell; Jon going to squire for Brynden Tully; Theon winding up as Stannis's ward/hostage instead of Ned's; Alleras getting sent to the Wall instead of going to Oldtown. I can't figure out a way to adapt this prompt to my Wildling favs but if you can, PLEASE go for it.
Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: Minimal “you know nothing”ing, please. I don’t care much for R+L=J, but if you MUST, please don’t linger on it-if in a modern AU, please don’t include it at all. I dislike overly saccharine fluff (no conflict, Nothing Bad Has Ever Happened Or Will Happen Ever, or distorting characters to make everything super happy), shippy fic that dismisses/demonizes canon love interests, shippy fic that dismisses all other important relationships in the shipped characters' lives; past abuse being dismissed as a one-off thing that no longer affects the victim (“Jon yelled at Sam’s brother/father and swept Sam off into the sunset and there were no consequences and everything was peachy!”). No incest (mentions of canon incest is fine), nothing sexually explicit involving underage characters (mentioned/offscreen/implied is alright if it’s btwn chars who are in their late teens, but not if only one party is underage). If the story involves rape or abuse, I’d prefer if it focused not on the rape/abuse itself but on the fallout/recovery. More interested in the characters and relationships between and among them than who winds up on what throne. Poly ships aren't my preference.
RE: PART THREE: Promptsj_okayJune 3 2015, 17:19:56 UTC
Sam/Alleras (trans Alleras only)
Yes! <3 This pairing has been in my head for years, but I've never read any fic on it. I don't think I've ever seen fic with Alleras as trans at all. Or maybe I haven't searched enough? I've certainly come across fic with male-passing female!Alleras, but that is NOT my headcanon.
Re: PART THREE: Promptscleromancy_ficJune 3 2015, 18:44:42 UTC
i've only read one fic that, like, at least IMPLIED alleras was trans--it was a modern au where alleras was a side character, he was there as arianne's cousin, and the narration mentioned he had a slight stache which made me think of the sort of typical just-started-testosterone-and-can't-bring-himself-to-shave-yet stache but it was definitely just an implication. and i think that's the only time i've read it, which sucks because i keep HOPING people are writing trans alleras but it's always just, you know, cis-sarella-in-disguise. but i'm definitely going to write it someday (i've been saying that for probably two years now, but i WILL). i have to do nonbinary arya at some point too, and i have this really involved AU in my head with trans woman margaery tyrell...
Re: PART THREE: Promptsj_okayJune 3 2015, 22:45:14 UTC
Ah, I hardly ever read AU, so I probably miss a lot of good stuff. I've srsly been needing to write some trans Alleras fic as well. Years, I tell ya. I need to get it out before Winds of Winter so it can be "canon compliant" for awhile.
non-binary Arya, Margaery as a trans woman, yaaasss. I like the way you think.
RE: Re: PART THREE: Promptscleromancy_ficJune 3 2015, 23:16:48 UTC
i totally feel ya. i like the plausible deniability that comes with "girl-disguising-herself-as-a-boy" storylines where i can just be like "yeah, this character is trans" and feel like MAYBE it's supported by canon.
fortunately, george seems like he's taking his sweet time with TWOW, so we can get to it whenever we get to it and we'll probably still put it out before he does :D
RE: PART THREE: PromptsoriginallyJune 3 2015, 18:50:09 UTC
Honestly, Jon's crush on Jaime Lannister is my favourite thing. I just started a fresh re-read of AGOT and that bit where he's all starstruck and thinking that Jaime is how a king should look, oh Jon.
RE: PART THREE: Promptscleromancy_ficJune 3 2015, 19:11:25 UTC
oh my god, i KNOW right? i swear i can't shut up about that bit, all my friends are sick of me talking about it. there are so many guys in canon that jon just crushes on REALLY hard and i love it, i can't get enough of it.
