linndechirI spent the entire day yesterday figuring out the assignments for the fic and art exchange on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
got_exchange. Why did I think this was a good idea again? No, to be fair, I really enjoy this whole mod business, it's fun. I just didn't expect 30 participants. Most assignments were really easy because many people like the same characters and pairings anyway, but in the end I was left with a handful of weirdos (including myself), who instead of shipping Jaime/Brienne and Robb/Jon like everyone else wanted fic about the Greyjoys, the Boltons and Stannis. I mentioned to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
outboxed that it sounds like the beginning of a really weird joke: "A pirate, a sociopath and a king walk into a bar ..." We couldn't find a punchline, though. The joke would probably end with everyone dead anyway.
But it's done now, everyone has their assignments. And so far I haven't had any angry "are you out of your mind, giving me these shit prompts?" mails yet.
Anyway, today, instead of focusing on the prompt I have to write like a good girl, I finally thought a bit about writing some Stannis/Sansa. Spreading the love for my insane pairings and all. But not only would I have to write het (which is, in itself, really hilarious because I usually don't like het and I've never written any in my life), but I realised that I would have to write het from the point of view of a 13-year-old virgin. JUST HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT??? Or rather, how am I supposed not to laugh hysterically when Sansa thinks about his "manhood"? Really? I mean, the scene is supposed to be utterly awkward and weird, but I still don't want to laugh madly while writing it. And I do want to write from Sansa's POV. Omniscient POV wouldn't work, I think, and Stannis' POV ... I'm afraid it would make him look a bit emo, tbh. That man has so many issues, especially when marrying a gorgeous young girl, I'd probably just end up with several pages of self-loathing.
I have no idea what to do about this. Manhood. Who even invented that word? It's so ridiculous.

Sansa is my personnal bicycle in GOT. I can read any pairing with her in it. I still have my favourite but still.
That exchange has me so excited. I think I'm going to take a coin and flip it to choose between two prompts lol. Harvey Dent style ^^.
Us and our love for pirates and onions :p...

Stannis is MY fandom bicycle. I ship him with all of three people, while most characters just make me go like, "meh, sleep with whomever you want, don't care." I ship Sandor/Sansa in the books, but I don't think they could ever be together. Stannis/Sansa could actually be a happy relationship.
Just do both prompts, bwahahah! :D I'm trying to talk everyone into writing more fic.
My brother just read the first Aeron chapter from AFFC out loud to me (he's currently reading the books), it was awesome. He does an epic Aeron impression.
Pirates, onions, and overly lawful kings. ^^
