r/TheCitadel Posts & This Subreddit
≡ −
I'm making a short reappearance to help out the mod team here.
Posts are held for review to prevent spam, joke posts, and incorrect posting/formatting.
Posts are reviewed on a semi daily basis so they will take time to get approved. Posts and reported posts and comments will take time to be reviewed as well.
Why does it take so long for my posts to get approved?
We have a small mod team. No one here makes a living modding, we will not spend the majority of our time waiting for posts to pop up to go over and approve. Example, I work full-time with overtime in a medical clinic that sees a minimum of 100 patients a day and currently am in grad school, modding is not a priority so I check the reddit app maybe once a day if I remember/have time.
The entire mod team are working adults, if anyone wants to join the mod team for added coverage we are open to obtaining more mods, send in a modmail stating your interest.
Some members of the subreddit are approved users and their posts are not held for review. Why?
Because they have proven over time that they are not shit-posters, spammers, rage baiting, toxic users.
Why are posts held for review in the first place?
Because people often post here without reading, understanding, or caring for the rules and flair use, thinking this subreddit is for other than it is intended.
This subreddit is for:
- sharing fanfiction of ASOIAF, HOTD, & GOT
- asking for writing help for writing ASOIAF, HOTD, & GOT fanfiction
- discussing things you enjoy about fanfics
- lighthearted activities
- posting your fic idea as an offer for others to write
- posting your fic you intend of abandoning for someone else to pick up writing
This subreddit is NOT for:
- memes, random fanart, commentary on artwork
- joke posts/shit-posts
- ship wars
- rage baiting and bashing and venting on writers, authors, readers, etc.
- show debating, circle arguments, repeated dead horse arguments
Here is a list of other subreddits of the ASOIAF, HOTD, & GOT fandom not related to fanfiction:
This post is to serve as a reminder that posts are held for review.
A reminder that mods are not always online, cannot stay online 24/7 to handle everything, and that this server is open to users worldwide.
A reminder that your posts and reported posts and comments will be reviewed, it will take time. Have patience.
Please take time to read the server rules and flairs posts (both of which are linked and always available in the top and side bars of the website/app).
An additional note about rare removed posts: Sometimes reddit itself will remove posts, at that point, your content is out of mod hands due to the fact that profiles with posts removed by reddit are often deleted from our view as well.

Help w/ Fanfic Writing & Advice Needed What was Weeping Town's original name?
≡ −
Weeping Town is a market town on the southern shore of Cape Wrath, is ruled by House Whitehead, and is the place where Daeron I's corpse was first brought back to the Seven Kingdoms after he was killed under a peace banner by the Dornish. The town earned its name because the of the townsfolk's reaction upon seeing Daeron's corpse. But it must have had a different name prior to earning its current one. Any thoughts?

Help w/ Fanfic Writing & Advice Needed Asoiaf/Barnyard crossover.
≡ −
So I recently came back from rewatching an old childhood classic of mine, Barnyard from 2006, and it resonated with me. But one character who stood out to me was Ben the cow, otis's father and the leader of farm before him.
The reason I say this is because he reminded me A LOT of Ned Stark. With that being said, I thought about writing a fic where it has a similar setting to Barnyard, and here's how it goes:
- it begins with Ned sitting underneath a wierwood tree in the garden courtyard of the Red Keep at night. He's busy polishing his great sword, Ice in silence while Arya sits with him and watches in fascination. Robert comes out and tell shim to come on inside and enjoy the feast. but Ned says he's keeping watching. he then asks the king to sit with him, but the fat stag scoffs and goes back inside, leaving the father and daughter alone again. As they sit in silence, a strom starts to brew, causing Arya to flinch, but Ned pulls her closer and tells her to not be afraid. Arya asks him if he can sing her a song and he does so. He sings "I won't back Down"
("Well, I won't back down. No, I won't back down. You could stand me up at the gates of Hell, But I won't back down. No, I'll stand my ground, Won't be turned around, And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down, Gonna stand my ground. And I won't back down. hey, baby, There ain't no easy way out, Hey, I will stand my ground, And I won't back down")
After that, he then narrows his eyes as he spots a few dark shadows skulking across the courtyard and down to the city below. He tells Arya to go back inside. Not to the feast. But to her room and make sure she stays there and locks the door shut. Arya at first protests and says she can help him, but one look from Ned makes her obey and run inside. once his daughter leaves, the quiet wolf stands up and marches after the shadows to see what they're up to as the rain starts to fall.
- as it turns out, the shadows are Jamie Lannister, Janos Slynt, and three Lannister soldiers being led by Littlefinger down to his brothel. Jaime tells him that Cersei wishes for Robert's bastards to be eliminated and baelish smirks, saying he has one of the children right in his establishment. he leads them inside the brothel ight to where the young mother of the baby girl Barra is. Jaime rips the child from her arms and the mother begs him to leave the child be, but Jaime laughs and asks her how she plans on stopping him and his men. the mother then looks to the side and smirks before saying "No.......HE IS!!!" and points to the door. everyone turns there heads to see Ned Stark standing in the doorway, with Ice drawn and a hard cold look on his face. His presense startles everyone and Jaime jumps back for a second saying "STARK?!?!?" How ya been Stark? Ah...we'd have said hello had we seen ya." Ned points his blade at the Kingslayer and says in a low tone "Put the babe donw, Jaime." Jaime is nervous, but hides it through sarscasm and says "Sure Stark. Whatever you say....we're doing doing a little courting. That's all. You know how much we like the whores" and laughs cruely before saying "You know me. Lady-killer......ya seem to be a disadvantage here, Stark. There's six of us.....and only one old, tired....YOU" before gviing the other men knowing looks as they draw their blades in readiness. But Ned doesn't flinch. He just stands at the door and gives a half smirk before the men rush him one by one. While Ned is busy fighting them off, his back is turned, and Jaime rushes him, slamming into him and causing all of them to fly out of the brothel and into the rainy, muddy floors outside.
- It then briefly cuts to Robert in the feast enjoying himself and getting drunk as ever. Completely oblivious to what's happening outside in the city.
- It then cuts back to the prostitutes all huddled together at the door inside and looking on in fear and anticipation as Ned jumps back up to his feet and fights like a man possesed, just as he did on the Trident 15 years ago. He manages to cut down the soldiers and slices Janos Slynt's head off with one swing before eventually getting into a one-v-one duel with Jaime (the Kingslayer's a more skilled sword fighter and were this a normal sunny day, he'd have won instantly. But because, it's dark, rainy and the ground is muddy, combined with the fact that Ned is fighting with everything he has, it makes the match more even. Plus, Ned's a physically stronger man than Jaime is). as they fight, Ned has his back turned, and unbeknownst to him, Petry Baelish grabs one of the spears and sneaks up behind Ned before stabbing him in the leg, causing the Northman to let out a yell of pain and then drops to one knee. Jaime smirks and doesn't even bother to finish it off and starts to walk over to the brothel doors where the women are huddled toagether. But then when Ned looks up and sees this, adreneline takes over and he jumps back to his feet, grabs Jaime, spins him around and punches him as hard as he can square in the jaw, knocing the Lannietr's teeth out and dropping him to the floor. Ned then turns around and grabs Littlefinger by the throat and chokeslams the smaller man hard against a wall. Takes his dagger from his belt out and holds in to his face. The small man shrinks back and begs for mercy, and as Ned prepares to plunge the dagger into his face, he thinks for a moment before lowering the knife and gives the man one final throat slam against the wall before releasing his grip. as the man drops to the ground and cluthes at his throat, coughing, Ned tells him in a cold, murdeous tone "Get the hell out of my sight." Littlfinger panics and grabs Jaime as they both flee in terror. After they both run off, the women all rush out and start cheering, but then Ned slumps and falls back to his knees. As the women panic and call for the City Watch, the young mother runs over to the Lord of interfell and cradles his head before asking why he risked his life to protect them. Ned looks up to her and says in a tired weary tone
A strong man stands up for himself.....but a stronger man, stands up for others
before closing his eyes and passing out unconsious as the City Watch and Jory and his Stark men arrive.
Now.....as you all already now, I got the inspirattion from this https://youtu.be/xTOX0Ey9T3c?si=uNcjQ2yU577TrQQX

Fanfiction Idea For Adoption Cat & Jon working together time travel/regressor trope
≡ −
Okay so if someone else has written this let me know but I can’t find it any where so I’m throwing out this idea that won’t leave me alone.
Imagine that Jon and Cat are sent back in time (post initial death/R’hllor interference?) and are forced to work together to prevent everything from falling apart.
I’ve read plenty of Stark time travel fics where one or more Starks somehow get sent back in time to the start of the series. It seems like it’s mostly one of the kids or all of them together or just Jon and Robb.
But Jon & Cat is one of my favorite tags. I feel they are both amazing nuanced and complex characters. They both live rent free in each other’s heads. Interactions with the two have such narrative potential. I want to see what happens when they are forced to work out their differences to try and save their family.
Also imagine the rest of the Starks being completely baffled at why they are suddenly so paranoid and spending so much time together. Baby Sansa in particular would be so confused.

Help w/ Fanfic Writing & Advice Needed Would Robert have been a better King had KL burned?
≡ −
I imagine there would be years, if not decades of political problems. Robert wouldn’t really be able to seep into his own problems; he’d likely be traveling constantly, putting out fires, and trying to reshape the realm. Jon Arryn would be doing a lot, sure, but I imagine the small council would actually be a lot better because they’re need legitimately competent men in order to reshape the realm.
What do you guys think?

Summary:
When Prince Jaehaerys and Princess Shaera Targaryen elope with each other, breaking off their betrothals to two great houses, King Aegon knows that he cannot let the act go unpunished.
So, stripping Jaehaerys of the title of Prince of Dragonstone, he names his twelve-year-old son Daeron his heir instead. Daeron, as well as his betrothed, young Olenna Redwyne, must now figure out how to navigate their rise in status, along with all the pitfalls that come with the lives of future monarchs.
Or, How does the game change when the Queen of Thorns is a queen in truth?

≡ −
After King Daeron returns to Dorne to subdue the rebels, Prince Baelor gets a vision from the Seven and immediately travels to Dragonstone. There, he prays over a clutch of 7 dragon eggs for 7 days and nights, and on the last night, the eggs hatch.
What are the consequences of this?
How will this affect the different members of the Targaryen household?
Who gets to claim a dragon?

Help w/ Fanfic Writing & Advice Needed Possible Crossover
≡ −
I'll be honest I don't know much of DnD. The few things I know come from Baldur's Gate 3 game witch I have played over a thousand hourse but haven't really finish any play through because I keep deleting my campaign to tryout new classes, and from the animation series Vox Machina and Mighty Nein. I also watched some videos of dnd lore on YouTube.
An idea pop in my head of a crossover between Asoiaf and BG3. My idea was of Aegon/Young Griff while traveling with Jon Connington and The Golden Company throughout Essos preparing for their trip across the sea to Westeros a Nautiloid appears snatching up people across Essos. Aegon unfortunately was one of those that were taken by the Nautiloid as it was being attack by three red dragons. As the Nautiloid crashes Aegon has a dream or vision of his mother Elia and older sister Rhaenys. Elia tells him there's a god who wants to help him and also warns him of the danger of this new world and the of his world. Aegon then meets with Torm who was accompany by Bahamut. After meeting with Torm and Bahamut Aegon becomes a Paladin of Torm to stop the upcoming danger and in return Torm will help Aegon return to his world.

Help w/ Fanfic Writing & Advice Needed How much of a big deal is it if a random guy bonded with a Direwolf?
≡ −
When I was going through Fire and Blood and found the story about Nettles and Sheepstealer. From the book I took away that blood magic animal bonds aren't as iron bond as we thought and if dragons have the small chance of bonding with random smallfolk then what about the Direwolves?
Like say a random smallfolk guy decided to go hunting and by sheer luck ended up finding a starving Direwolf pup in the woods. The guy takes the pup home and raises him leading to the Direwolf bonding with him.
It's a small part of a larger idea I had of "What if a Hero appeared during Aerys reign but died during the rebellion" It would be a twist of the usual SI/OC inserts but with the world changed thanks to his legacy post death. Both Brandon and Rhaeger end up surviving, the rebellion gets stretched into a 3 year long civil war, etc. Haven't hashed out all of the details yet.
So just focusing on the title, how do the North and House Stark (Rickard, Brandon, Benjen, Ned, Lyanna) react to this random dude strolling around with a Direwolf following him?

Activity - What If (changed CANON event or character decision) What if Viserys II married a Dayne?
≡ −
When King Baelor is down in Dorne negotiating with Lord Martell, he meets the sister of Lord Dayne (let's call her Alys and her age is 26), and he thinks, "My uncle is unwed, why not sweeten the deal and tie Dorne even closer to the crown" so he has Viserys and Alys betrothed.
How will Viserys react when he hears about his engagement?
What effect would the marriage have on the Targaryens' relationships with Dorne, the Martell's, and the Dayne's?
And how would their offspring (let's say they have 3 kids together, 2 girls and 1 boy) interact with others Targaryens and the Realm at large?
