So, guys, I've decided to try my hand at this. Bear in mind that updates may not be often or frequent, but I'll be trying to update around twice a month – this will pick up in a few months when I've finished my last year of university.

Anyway, here's the current state of the Seven Kingdoms:

Over a hundred years before Robert's Rebellion, the Targaryens reign across Westeros with sheer might and power. Dragons still roam the skies, and Targaryens love reminding their subjects of this. Lord Baratheon serves as Hand of the King in King's Landing, and the King, Rhaegon Targaryen I grows ill on his death bed.

What I need are a bunch of characters. I'll be creating about three characters – this will include villains (since few people want to create villains). So, here are the primary houses that I will be focusing on:

Targaryen

Baratheon

Stark

Tyrell

Just because these are the main houses I've been focusing on, it doesn't mean I won't include other houses. For instance, a member of the House of Arryn might be fostered in Storm's End. Depending on how quickly I'll be getting characters sent to me, I may post a chapter this evening (UK time).

WARNING: Characters will die. Main characters, side characters, minor characters… I may accept a character and kill them immediately. I may accept a character, use them as a minor role, and then they end up as a main character. To be honest, I've got a rough idea of what's going to happen, and how this will end, but I don't really know how we're going to get there… Just a heads up – I want to mimic Martin's realism and… well, general literary sadism. So, you've been warned…
