r/AsoiafFanfiction Prompt Competition finale- Vote via Reddit

The finale for the r/AsoiafFanfiction prompt competition is open for the next 7 days. If you would like to vote, click this link-https://www.reddit.com/r/AsoiafFanfiction/comments/1px3x9k/rasoiaffanfiction_prompt_competition_finale_vote/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I am also going to list the prompts up for the competition for anyone interested-

(Prompt 1)

u/Legenda_069

A few weeks before he is due to earn his chain, a young acolyte at the Citadel is assigned to assist an aging Archmaester whose mind is beginning to fail. The work is dull and private. Reading letters aloud. Sorting old papers. Sitting quietly while the old man forgets where he is. At times, the Archmaester mistakes the boy for someone else and speaks too freely, mentioning small decisions made long ago.

As the acolyte moves through the Citadel, he starts to notice patterns he once ignored. Certain maesters always sent to certain houses. Some subjects and links quietly falling out of favor. Questions that are discouraged. Ravens that are sent too late, or tampered with. Among the senior maesters, there are disagreements behind closed doors that never reach the floor of the Conclave. He cannot prove anything, and no one will speak plainly, but he senses something greater is at play.

When news reaches Oldtown of Daenerys Targaryen and her living dragons, the Archmaester dies, but not before confessing one final secret on his deathbed. The story follows the acolyte as he begins, quietly and at great personal risk, to uncover the truths the Citadel has buried for centuries.

-------------

(Prompt 2)

u/West-Employer855:

Rhaegar is fostered with Ned and Robert who manage to get him to ignore prophecy and they Work together to overthrow Aerys in a coup

-------------

(Prompt 3)

u/Proper-Muffins:

Jon Snow was born with silver hair and purple eyes. Due to this everyone around him believes he was the bastard son of Ashara Dayne and Ned Stark.

Ned plays this up by bringing North some Dayne swordplay trainers to suggest that Jon is like his "uncle" Arthur Dayne. Due to this Jon is a great swordsman, and everyone calls him Arthur Dayne come again.

However he knows the horrible "truth", that he was the product of rape. Everytime they call him Arthur Dayne comes again he feels like a fraud.

Worse yet, he's fallen in love with Sansa. This makes him feel guilty as he believes it's his Targaryen blood that is the cause.

Jon decides to run away and live a life of a hedge knight, but not before Ser Barristan Selmy sees the truth, though he keeps it to him self.

Everything however goes out the window when he visits the small island in Red Lake where Silverwing nested after the Dance. There he discovers a dragon egg left behind, and things change drastically when it hatches.

-------------

(Prompt 4)

u/IntelligentCrow3912 :

Bobby B accepts Jalabar Xho's proposal and decrees an invasion of the Summer Isles. He personally leads the fleet and army much as he did in the Siege of Pyke.

But the islanders are no Ironborn. They melt into the jungles, where the clothyard shafts of their yellow bows lance silently out of the green to take unsuspecting Westerosi in the neck. By night their warriors, men and women both, infiltrate Westerosi camps to slit the throats of the sleeping. Their swan ships harass Westerosi trade, raid the coasts as far north as Eastwatch.

Among the recruits is young Samwell Tarly, assigned to a recon squad. It's Oliver Stone's "Platoon," with Samwell in the Charlie Sheen role. He dies, of course. It's a brutal war, with the Westerosi deploying wildfire to burn down the jungles. It's nothing like Sansa read about in her stories.

-------------

(Prompt 5)

u/PerryThePorcupine:

AU: women are allowed at the Wall. They are mostly assigned healing work, stewardship, and official positions (whatever requires more writing and order). However, they technically can join any group, so historically some were builders and rangers, however those were very few.

Anyway...

Story starts with a role reversal with Jon and Sansa, so Sansa is the targ bastard of Winterfell and Jon is the trueborn second son).

Sansa decides to go to the Wall like canon. She takes up healing work, until she kills a wight in the Great Ranging and is assigned a more 'active' role. Meanwhile, Jon goes instead of Sansa to KL. Obviously there would be a lot of changes, but for the most part: Joffrey is betrothed to Arya. Ned still discovers the incest but without Sansa it takes him slightly longer... Jon escapes with Arya back to White Harbor. Lady (Ghost?) doesn't die... Idk... It can go any direction from there. But this is the main premise, I think!

-------------

(Prompt 6)

u/SansaBaleish:

Jon Arryn dies and sees what comes after. In the afterlife he watches the men he helped raise fall apart anyway: Robert dead, Ned Stark executed, and finally Stannis burning Shireen. Canon or not, Jon thinks of all three as his boys, and that’s when it really hits him that everything he tried to stop still happened.

Then he wakes up again shortly before his canon death.

Jon already knows the truth about Cersei’s children, but this time he’s determined to make sure it comes out while he’s still alive. Instead of confronting anyone directly, he convinces Robert to hold a big tourney (nameday, birth, royal celebration, whatever works) and calls all the great houses to King’s Landing.

The tourney is basically cover. Time to quietly gather proof, figure out who he can actually trust, and make sure the truth can’t just be buried with him. Robert demands Ned come south, and Jon adds a private note to the raven asking Ned and Catelyn to leave the kids at home.

The story could focus on Jon trying to control the timing for once, the political theater around the tourney, and how everyone else is guessing at what Jon Arryn is really planning. Does being more careful actually help, or does it just give the realm more time to break?

Prompt Competition reminder

Hey all!

Just thought I would boost the prompt competition occurring on the subreddit I co-run right now.

We had 11 entries so we decided to have two semi finals. Both polls are exclusive to Reddit, but hey, maybe read through them and see if anything speaks to you as really interesting?

Polls are open until Christmas day. Here are the links-

Group 1

Group 2

Click this post here. In that post, I go through how to make a link underlined on AO3, as in clickable, it looks much better and some have taken my advice already within the competition.

That's a major thing I have noticed in these awards, spreading the word to your fans has absolutely made the difference and I must again say how grateful I am to anyone who voted and those authors who have much more bigger reaches than mine who spread the word about the entire awards. It's really cool to have the support!

reblog to claim your “never finishing my multi-chapter fics” award 🥇⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[kingofasoiaffanfic]

"I am an author and/or a reader and I wish to spread the news about the r/AsoiafFanfiction awards" This is how you can help-

Hello!

I am still trying to get a handle on how Tumblr works, but it seems to be good so far. Thank you to anyone who shared the awards the other day.

I am here for a follow-up and to answer the question in the title.

"I am an author and/or a reader and I wish to spread the news about the r/AsoiafFanfiction awards"

Well, this is how: If you are in the awards, as in your fic is nominated, or even if you aren't, please consider sharing the news around and go one step further, if possible, share the word about the ENTIRE awards.

While we can't and won't police authors who just ask their viewers to vote for them only, we would kindly like anyone who considers helping out to share the entire awards! While I understand that there hasn't been that much promotion on Tumblr, there have been months of reminders on Reddit, but Reddit can only get us so far.

I would like to walk out of this competition knowing that at least 10 people or so have discovered a new fic or two and voted for them in the competition, instead of just staying to all they have read prior.

I also realise that authors have carried out this ask, for which I will forever be grateful! Genuinely, thank you for doing that and thank you for anyone who considers sharing the following.

So, where do you find all the fic entries? Google Documents, Google Sheets and Reddit, all of the options are linked below.

I will be using Tumblr for more award stuff going forward and more fic stuff for when I eventually decide to post again, Feel free to follow me, I guess? Idk how this works still haha.
