I know who I'm writing for--but I don't know who got my prompts. I've never been in one where I haven't known who I was writing for, though--that would be interesting! As for what I was working on at the time--yes, I really liked the prompt! I've been pretty lucky in exchanges with the prompts I've received. My problem this year was in finding time to write and complicating things with the idea I came up with for the prompt, which I tend to do a lot!

I'm participating in this year's Jaime/Brienne (GoT/ASOIAF) fic exchange. And by "participating" I mean "pulling my hair out by the roots because the deadline's approaching, dear God why do I do this to myself every year??????"

Can I join you at that table? With the exception of The Wedding Singer, I've never really cared for Adam Sandler's comedies.

I'm just catching up on this thread (it's been a while!)--but first, I agree that the end of the show combined with GRRM still not releasing Winds has led to the decrease in stories as well as the loss of retention in writers. I keep hoping that some of the writers will return if/when Winds gets released (latest rumor is that he might announce something at Worldcon in August, but then, there have been rumors about when that book will come out since at least 2012, so take it with a ton of salt). The good news is that there is another fic exchange coming, which I wasn't sure there would be, so there will be more stories coming in the fall! I've only written a couple of canon-set fics, and those have been set after the endgame (which both Jaime and Brienne survive, of course, because it's my story) for the very reason you mention--there's just too much going on for me to figure out exactly how it should end, and the show didn't help because of how much I think those idiots got wrong combined with my uncertainty about that because they were told the basics of George's ending. I'll stick with AUs, thanks. (Which isn't to say that I won't read the heck out of canon-set fics--especially when they're well written. And despite my aggravation at the show, I'll still read a good fix-it fic. I just can't write them.)

So that's why people always say I don't get that quote right--I leave off the last part!

I'm not sure he could've, though. Of the three, he had the weakest case for how he got there other than "I won the last immunity challenge and wasn't considered enough of a threat for people to try and vote out."

But I don't think he did--he acknowledged pre-FTC that he knew his game had been somewhat hidden. As for being okay with someone's disappointment being shoved in our faces, it's just cruel. And I'm not saying this as someone who thought he had it in the bag, because I suspected that Kenzie was a stronger contender than people were giving her for and she was my pick to win earlier tonight.

I wonder if the inevitable question will come to Ben--"who would you have voted for if there had been a tie?"

Same here. And the camera just keeps panning in on his face. Stop. Just stop.

Whoa...Maria didn't vote for Charlie? And he lost by two votes. OUCH.

Ben would've cast the deciding vote. That's what happened the one other time there was a tie.

If she wins the game, the answer is yes.

Hunter did. I don't remember if Liz did or not.

We're a little bit behind here--the show got paused for a bathroom break and we haven't got caught up yet.

....Kenzie thought Liz was a threat? Ohhhhkay.
