Are you willing to pinch hit? (This is just a theoretical question; if you say yes, it only means that I may ask you for help if I need to. You can still say no then if you don't have the time or don't like the prompts.)

If you're okay with receiving both fic and art, please make sure to write prompts that work for both. Either phrase your prompts in a way so they can be used for both fic and art, or write separate prompts (i.e. 4-6 fic prompts AND 4-6 art prompts). That's far easier for artists than getting fic prompts and only an added "I like art, too."
If your sign-up form includes spoilers (prompts like "what happened after character X did this or that in ADWD?"), please warn for them so the other participants don't get spoiled accidentally while reading through the sign-ups.
Please try to have a little bit of variety in your prompts. It's perfectly okay to want only fic about a certain character or group of characters, but if all your prompts are smut for the exact same pairing, things may get a bit difficult for your writer. Also, please don't request six incredibly rare pairings. Rare ships are very welcome, but I will have huge trouble finding someone who can write for you if you have six prompts with ships that literally no one except you ships. The same goes for extremely detailed prompts: one or two of those are okay, but not six of them. As a general rule, please remember that someone has to write/draw one of your prompts. Don't make their life unnecessarily difficult.
You can ask for other things than fanart or fanfic (like graphics, icons, videos, whatever), but I can't promise that someone will participate who can make them, so you should mostly request drawn art or fic. Similarily, if you can make graphics etc., you can tell me as well, but you should be able to produce either drawn art or fic because I can't be sure that someone will specifically ask for graphics etc.
If you don't want to post your email address here, just fill out the rest of the form and send me a PM with your address.
Send your finished fic/art to gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com by December 8th. If you need an extension or if you have to drop out, please contact me as soon as possible. Don't just disappear.
I reply to EVERY email I get on the exchange account. If I do not reply to your email after a day or two, please assume that I did not get your message and resend it. Check your emails regularly so I can reach you.
Please only send me fics as text files (.txt), or if that's not possible as .doc, .docx or .odt. Please include html tags for italics etc. in your file and check if your formatting works properly. Also, please use a beta reader, or at least proofread your fic thoroughly. I have neither the time nor the patience to proofread every single fic before posting it. If you don't know anyone who could beta for you, please contact one of the people who signed up on this beta reader post. Don't be shy. They signed up because they want to help.
Any other questions, comments, suggestions, problems? You can ask in the comments or PM me. :) Please read the FAQ first, though, maybe your question has already been answered there.
