Guys, I'm at 4,000 words on my DunkBaelor exchange fic already. I can feel this turning into a beast. Save me.

Hail and well met, gentle blogger! 'Tis I, your designated Dunk/Baelor Exchange gift giver!

I absolutely love all your prompts, but I would like to ask if one prompt tickles your fancy more than the others. Do you see a particular theme for it? An AU? Let me know!

Ah well met comrade! o/ Haha yes I can narrow it down! How about; A. Roadtrip to Dorne! Maybe for a wedding; Dunk goes as Baelor's personal bodyguard (gotta keep an eye out for assassins :)) and gets to meet Jena's side of the family. Can weave in the spicy horse prompt, as well as teaching Dunk Dornish culture and spoiling him a bit, like Baelor's been secretly courting him the whole trip ;) B. Werewolf or Dragon Dunk! Where they need Shiera and Bloodraven's help studying the transformation and making it easier for him. Dunk learning to accept and love himself. I'm sure "oops turned into a dragon" Dunk would be very political and juicy lol. Aerion would be so pissed, and Egg would be over the moon <3

Have a snippet, from @itellyouthisisnottheend!

"You are doing that on purpose." Maekar hisses. "It is indecent."

"Indecent," Baelor repeats incredulously, not looking at him. "I'm eating, brother. Something you often chide me to do more of. What about eating at a family dinner is indecent, precisely?"

"Well, maybe if you took your eyes off the fucking hedge knight for more than a minute." 

Baelor drags his eyes to his brother's disgruntled visage.

"But I'm so enjoying his blushes, little brother." He keeps it to an undertone, popping another grape in his mouth, and watches Maekar's face scrunch the same way Egg's does when Rhae presents him with a bug. 

Nonetheless, his brother has a point, and he engages Daella in conversation. Her tutor has been teaching her maths and geography via dressmaking, and she wants to know about Myr and what Westeros trades in exchange for the lace in her favourite sleeves. 

It's an enjoyable conversation - his niece has a sharp mind - but the lift at the corner of his lips comes not from talk of ambassadors, wood and grain, but the darting shy glances he can feel from the pink-cheeked knight at Egg's side.

On AI Usage

Hello everyone, 

We have received multiple reports of a DunkBaelorExchange26 participant suspected of breaking rule #2 of the exchange, around the use of AI. 

For reference:

2) Any form of AI use or plagiarism is strictly prohibited.

We have looked into this and decided, based on the available evidence, that these reports were credible. 

As such, the participant has been removed from the exchange, and they have been notified of this. 

A pinch hitter will sub in for their giftee. 

Thank you to those who sent in reports, and to our wonderful pinch hitters.

Going forward: 

If you suspect a participant is using AI, and have credible evidence, please notify a mod. We will investigate and act appropriately, and we will aim to balance transparency with protecting privacy. That means we will keep usernames private, but we will tell you what the resulting actions of those investigations are. 

To be clear: we are not AI detectives. We will carry out due diligence where we think there is cause to investigate. 

Please do not ask us to undertake time-intensive, emotionally draining investigation without credible evidence, or as a form of harassment. 

We won't lie - this has been really disappointing to deal with, and we know that many of you will be feeling similarly about this. 

DunkBaelorExchange2026 is not a venue for AI-generated works in any way, shape or form: we believe strongly in the ideas, skills and brilliance of our community, and we are hosting this exchange to celebrate that! We (and we hope you) are choosing to focus on the amazing gifts we'll be exchanging in 9 days - we're very excited to see them!

With love,

@hardsaltdilf, @itellyouthisisnottheend, @the-road-betwixt

Check-in #1

Good evening lovelies! From this point on, each participant has been randomly assigned a moderator who will serve as their first point of contact. You should be receiving an email in the next 24-48 hours from your assigned mod checking in with you. They may also message you on Tumblr if they are not able to get in touch by email.

Friendly reminders for this check-in:

- We have created a handy countdown timer to the deadline of submissions.

- If you are seeking a beta reader, we do have some volunteers waiting in the wings. Reach out to the moderators, and we would be happy to connect you with one.

- If you are worried that you may not be on track to reach the deadline, reach out to your assigned moderator ASAP. We are happy to help you refine or flesh out ideas if that’s all you need. Otherwise, if you need to default on your assignment, we pass no judgment. You will still receive a gift from your designated gifter, and a pinch hitter will take over for you.

- Needless to say, pinch hitters who end up completing a defaulted assignment will receive an additional gift for their troubles.

- Participants who are already finished may submit to the collection early; your submission will be visible only to the moderators until it’s time for the reveal. You will also retain the ability to edit your work as needed until the final deadline.

Thank you everybody for your enthusiasm and creativity! We wish to see you all through to the end and look forward to your gifts!
