First, write down the names of 12 characters from ASOIAF. Then read and answer the questions. You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.
1) Sansa Stark
2) Jon Snow
3) Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
4) Brienne of Tarth
5) Jaime Lannister
6) Queen of Thorns
7) Stannis Baratheon
8) Danaerys Targaryen
9) Tyrion Lannister
10) Asha Greyjoy
11) Loras Tyrell
12) Robb Stark
1.) Have you read a 6/11 fic? Do you want to? (Queen of Thorns/Loras Tyrell)
Nope. Being as she is his grandmother that is sort of hugely creepy and I would not want to read it. Also he is gay.
2.) Do you think 4 is hot? How hot? (Brienne of Tarth)
She is canonically not hot. Like it's a big part of her character and everything.
3.) What would happen if 12 got 8 pregnant? (Robb Stark/Danaerys Targaryen)
Well since he is dead and she is barren that would be quite the miracle. But I am sure they'd have a very pretty heir to everything ever and heal the wounds between their families if it happened.
4.) Can you recommend any fic(s) about 9. (Tyrion)
Sadly no. Tyrion is an amazing character but no one wants to write about him since he's not hot.
5.) Would 2 and 6 make a good couple? (Jon Snow/Queen of Thorns)
Well she is like 3 times his age and they've never met. But they are both awesome so that would help I guess in some weird time traveling or AU setup.
6.) 5/9 or 5/10? Why? (Jaime/Tyrion or Jaime/Asha)
Jaime/Tyrion because there is an interesting love/hate relationship going on and because Jaime/Asha makes no sense whatsover. Also because I am a sucker for sib or cousincest and Jaime's already slept with his sister so why not his brother.
7.) What would happen if 7 walked in on 2 and 12 having sex? (Stannis, Jon/Robb)
Well time frame wise I am assuming this would be while the boys are still boys and Stannis would separate them and drag them up to dad to be taught about appropriate behavior.
8.) Is there any such thing as 1/8 fluff? (Sansa/Danaerys)
I don't think there is but there could be. The pairing falls into the category of: OMG pretty girls together! so I can see people writing it that way.
9.) Suggest a title for a 7/12 hurt/comfort fic. (Stannis/Robb)
"On the Dangers of a Few Decades' Repression" (Obviously Stannis has been perving on Edmure or the Blackfish for ages and it's an AU in which he ands up spending a bunch of time with Robb and transferring that onto him and it's sort of sad and desperate.
10) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 to deflower 1? (Brienne/Sansa)
It just doesn't make sense honestly. Brienne would never deflower anyone. Best scenario is like a comfort type of scenario where Sansa is all vulnerable and clings to Brienne and Brienne becomes way too tempted by her beauty and her need.
11) Does anyone on your friends list read 7 slash? (Stannis)
Nope. But I am sort of in love with the idea of it now because he's the king of repression.
12) Does anyone on your friends list read 3 het? (Littlefinger)
Yes. Myself included.
13) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 (Loras)
People often talk about doing so, but I've really only seen a few instance of actual writing.
14) Would anyone on your friends list write 2/4/5? (Jon/Brienne/Jaime)
Well since two of the three are like the ship of the canon that is a good start right there. Plus the third is hot. And they all have issues around honor so that works. I'm sure someone would write it if given the right prompting.
15) What might 10 scream out at a moment of great passion? (Asha Greyjoy)
I feel like her's might be a silent triumph
16) If you write a songfic about 8, which song would you choose? (Danaerys Targaryen)
Probably something from Garbage's self titled album... like that one about how she's like Joan of Arc?
17) If you wrote a 1/6/12 fic, what would the warning(s) be? (Sansa/Queen of Thorns/Robb)
Incest, cross-gen, femslash, mindfuck, dub-con.
18.) What might a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10? (Jon/Asha)
Jon wouldn't pick up on Asha. It would be the other way around I think if anything were ever to happen.
19.) When was the last time you read a fic about 5? (Jaime Lannister)
I feel like I read some of
zoeiona's Jaime/Brienne fic last week.
20.) What is 6's super-secret kink? (Queen of Thorns)
I imagine she likes mind games, mental agility would be a big turn on.
21.) Would 11 shag 9? Drunk or sober? (Loras/Tyrion)
Well he's the right gender at least, but I don't think so. If he did it would definitely be drunk.
22.) If 3 and 7 get together, who tops? (Littlefinger/Stannis)
Littlefinger lets Stannis think he's in control... but really he isn't.
23.) "1 (Sansa) and 9 (Tyrion) are in a happy relationship until 9 (Tyrion) suddenly runs off with 4 (Brienne). 1(Sansa), broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with 11 (Loras) and a brief, unhappy affair with 12 (Robb), then follows the wise advice of 5 (Jaime) and finds true love with 3 (Littlefinger)." What title would you give this fic?
Can I first say that I love this fic and sort of want to write it. That said: "When Chivalry Fails There's Always Passion" or something along those lines.
24.) How would you feel if 7/8 was canon? (Stannis/Danaerys)
It would be sort of awesome as long as it didn't involve validation of the R'hallor craziness.
25.) Who would make a better college professor: 6, or 11. (Queen of Thorns or Loras Tyrell)
The Matriarch is much smarter and would be a better teacher but Loras' classes would be popular because he's faboulous and hot.
26.) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot? (Jon Snow)
Jon is totally hot. I'd do him. Both because he is good looking, in good shape, and has a great personality.
27.) What would 5 most likely be arrested for? (Jaime)
Oh so many reasons. Kingslaying (while part of the Kingsguard), fucking his sister, fucking the queen, having sex while part of the Kingsguard, betraying oaths, saving non-damsels...
28) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8? (Stannis or Danaerys)
Both really. But probably Stannis since to the outsider he'd seem like less of a target being a middle aged man instead of a hot woman.

And yours came up will all kinds of actually interesting (as opposed to just mind-breaking) ships -- Dany/Stannis, Stannis/Littlefinger, Robb/Dany.

Date: 2008-02-14 11:50 pm (UTC)I almost want to write half of these even.
Robb being dead keeps being a problem though.

Not that I'd ever read stuff like this (I like Stannis as a character, but I'd rather he remained absolutely asexual, kthxbai), but this comment is spot on.
23.) "1 (Sansa) and 9 (Tyrion) are in a happy relationship until 9 (Tyrion) suddenly runs off with 4 (Brienne). 1(Sansa), broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with 11 (Loras) and a brief, unhappy affair with 12 (Robb), then follows the wise advice of 5 (Jaime) and finds true love with 3 (Littlefinger)."
Oh dear. Aside from the "wise advice" bit (well, and unhappy affairs with Robb) it's almost canon XD
