Thank you to all who signed up! Can't wait to read the prompt fills!
Your prompt fill should be at least 500 words. Your fill can be a drabble, text message fic, one-shot, multi-chapter, whatever you choose.
Please tag "SanSan New Year, New AU 2024" on AO3 and/or tumblr so we can track all the wonderful fics!
Post by 29 February. For multi-chapter fics, you’ll only need to have posted the first chapter by 29 February. You can post sooner than this. If real life crops up and your fill will be delayed, just post as soon as you can. If you’re unable to fill your prompt, please reach out to @sansanwritersguild.
Prompts assignments are below the cut:
1: To: @littlewolfbird From: @fuzzychapstick (AO3: Glitterswitch)
High school AU! The older characters can either be fellow students or teachers. Sansa must be a student, however. Bonus points for either cheerleading!Sansa or aversion-to-sweat!Sansa.
Most smut is fine, if you want to go that direction, just no urination or defecation kinks. No Sansa and Arya haters.
To: @rayne11 From: @musicfanforlife (AO3: Kylorenfan123)
Horror movie au. You can choose whatever character dynamic you want though I am partial to horror antagonists x protagonists. Smut is fine.
To: @corinalannister From: @3rdstarksistr (AO3: 3rdstarksistr)
Tavern or Bar AU. Smut is fine. No non-con or pregnancy/babies.
To: @fuzzychapstick From: @corinalannister (AO3: CorinaLannister)
Modern day historian Sansa gets thrown back in time to a Westeros of the past. She's not just researching the past, she's now living in it. Sandor is the only one who knows she's not from the time period. Smut is fine. No male pregnancy (female pregnancy is fine).
To: @3rdstarksistr From: @rayne11 (AO3: rayne11)
Futuristic AU: where Sansa is an AI (who may or may not "come to life") and Sandor is a grumpy, lonely but ultimately good at heart individual, long suffering due to the antics of his dear sister Eleanor.
No smut. Nothing too dark/sad. I'd appreciate something relatively light hearted. No SA/Violence (may be included in backstory). No troubling scenarios involving Starks (let them all live pls if they're in the fic), Joffrey, or Ramsay, or LF.
To: @cranberry-wine From: @estevnys (AO3: estevnys)
Apocalypse AU. Sandor and Sansa are traveling across the apocalyptic landscape to escape from the Lannisters on his motorcycle "Stranger" :rofl:. Choice of apocalypse up to you-- zombies in no way required. Think Beth and Daryl from TWD. Smut is fine.
To: @ricketyrunt From: @shoshi.gideon (AO3: Shmae)
The Bachelorette AU. Smut is fine.
To: @lemonoak From: @cranberry-wine (AO3: Cranberry_Wine)
Inside the universe of Stephen King's fictional setting of Castle Rock, Maine. Smut is fine.
To: @musicalfanforlife_93 From: @littlewolfbird (AO3: Littlewolfbird)
Your Expertise AU. Whatever you are best at - professionally, hobby-wise, et cetera - that's the AU that I want to read about. Smut is fine. No dubcon, no rape (past mentions is fine), no incest, no minors (as in one is a minor the other is not), no bdsm.
To: @estevnys From: @ricketyrunt (AO3: Ricketyrunt)
Picture them getting stuck in an elevator during a power outage, forcing them to confront fears, share personal stories, and create a unique bond under tense circumstances. Smut is fine. I Don’t love alpha/beta/omega dynamics, but I also want you to write your own thang!
To: @shoshi.gideon From: @lemonoak (AO3: LemonOak)
Mafia princess Sansa and Made man Sandor, what happens is up to you. Smut is fine. No gun or knife kink. No rape or dislike.

I have two questions for the five word prompt exchange.
1) do you have to be a part of the sansan writers guild to participate?
2) how will I be notified with an AO3 account for my prompts?
Thanks!

To your second question, you can provide either an email address or your tumblr username for how you’d like to be notified of what prompt you received.
Hope this helps and that you’re able to join the exchange!

Do you think the Sansan ship is dying? Just seeing the reduced number of fics posted, and the new ones tend to be hyper violent or problematic.... It just feels like the fandom is petering out.
No, I don't think that it's dying as much as it's going into hibernation.
There are people on here who have shipped sansan long before the Game of Thrones adaptation on HBO. They've been waiting 20+ years for GRRM to finish asoiaf. Fans that started shipping during the show or with A Dance with Dragons have been waiting since 2011. So it's only natural that sansan ends up going on the back burner when new ships come along.
Sansan - like the rest of asoiaf ships - has always been a problematic ship. Sansa is surrounded by violence; Sandor Clegane is a deadly, dangerous, violent man prior to the Quiet Isle. So I believe violent content is appropriate and to be expected in canon compliant fics.
The latest trend of writing the pairing as non/con isn't new to the fandom, but it also isn't being counterbalanced with other types of fics, as it was in the past.
Non/con definitely can be off-putting for newer fans, as well as for book!Sandor fans who prefer canon-compliant characterizations. As for myself, I haven't been able to engage with newer fics. I recently suffered a setback of sexual assault related PTSD. While I support writer's rights to create whatever content they want, I'm being very selective for my own sake.
If/when GRRM releases TWOW, sansan fans will return to the ship.🥰
Agree with everything said here, but wanted to add that, yes, the ship is less active than it used to be it’s far from dead.
Some recent fandom activity includes:
The @sansanwritersguild has an active discord community with Six Sentence Sunday prompts, fic recs, discussions, sprints, etc. The guild recently finished a fic exchange in February, which added new SanSan fics to the tag. We are planning the next exchange for May/June.
@banadraw creates and continues to create lovely fandom artwork. @anya-draws-stuff has also done some great SanSan art too.
Some of us are stubbornly still writing and will continue to write SanSan content until the end of days. I consider myself to be a ride-or-die for this ship. Catch me when I’m 80 still writing about these two love-sick fools.
Several writers have come back from hiatus to continue their fics, including @ownsariver who is working on “Northern Lights and Midnight Sun,” a SanSan classic.
@bighound-littlebird continues to provide us with lovely fandom content and an inclusive fandom space to share our SanSan love.
@littlewolfbird and @thebluelemontree have a ASOIAF podcast called The Silent Sisters podcast. Episode 17 is a SanSan episode!
Considering that there hasn’t been new SanSan book content since 2005 when AFFC published and the show ended four years ago, it’s pretty amazing how active the fandom is.
I’m a big believer in making fandom what you want it to be. Write the fics you want to see, set up fic exchanges, dabble in art and pic sets, post your metas on tumblr, comment on fics, even seemingly abandoned ones because you never know what impact that might have on the writer.
I do think there will be a SanSan renaissance. Until then, we all can make the fandom what we want it to be, even if it’s not what it once was.
Does it sometimes feel like shouting into a void? Sure but people are still around and doing their thing. A day will come when there are even more once TWOW is released.

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.
They are now also linking to a site they claim is able to scan works and tell you whether they were AI written or not, and that you should do that before reading a fic.
It should go without saying that you should not, under no circumstances, visit a site advertised in a spam comment.
In this case, I'd say there's even a chance that the "scanning" site is actually used to scrape fics and use them for future AI writing. What it definitely doesn't do is tell you whether something was AI written or not. That's a bullshit claim.
Don't use that site. Don't believe these spam comments, whether you get them on your own works or see them on someone else's.
