AUs wanted!  
This is highly unorthodox of me (but hopefully not inappropriate) to be posting so very publicly. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

I've been on some sort of an AU kick recently. It's all because of [livejournal.com profile] sarea_okelanis awesome campAU Wet Hot Avengers Summer http://sarea-okelani.livejournal.com/407093.html (I don't know how to make the title a link ): . I've been scouring this bar as well as AO3 for more AUs but it's proving difficult to find ones to my liking since up until very recently, I didn't really like AUs at all. All I seem to find are variations on the theme of superspies and assassins. Which is fine but not what I want.

So what I want is for you, fellow shippers, to give me links. I don't care what the AU world is as long as it's got Clint and Natasha in love by the end of it. With each other. I'm sure many of you are far more organised than me and have actually bookmarked stories you like or can remember if something you've written fits into my description of what I want to read. 

Also whats the policy on prompts here? Cause my head is filled with stuff I want to see our lovely OTP in but I lack the ability to write those stories myself.

Hello, hello, hello! I second all of the recs above, they're all fantastic! I'd also say take a look at the AU fanwork tag on the comm, the all the things friday AU edition that a few people have pointed to (I recced a bundle of things on there), and the general fic recs tag on the comm is worth wandering through.

Public posts are fine. Especially for recs <3 As you can see, we all love to join in with stuff like this. We're chatty ;D

I don't think we have a policy on prompts? We had the HUGE promptathon over the summer and the Secret Santa (posting coming up soon) involved prompts. Maybe have a look through those, because I know a lot of us are working on prompts off there. Feel free to poke us into faster action, lol. In general, the all the things friday posts are places of discussion, recs, and prompting welcome as well, although that's usually centered on a weekly theme. Any discussion post or creative support group post is prompt territory - there's a recent one here for NaNo Clint/Natasha writers and I'm sure they'd love for more ideas to be thrown their way! Hmm, really we just throw ideas around a lot, so I guess just join in and chat :D

I guess I've sort of felt like since I can't contribute in the way of fics or art or anything creative, I'm not in a position to be active on this bar. Silly, I know and will definitely not think that anymore. Come next possible opportunity, you will be treated (or saddled) with my musings on the kind of band-aids Natasha likes or the kind of undies she really wears (lots of colours and cartoon characters for both) :D

There are more ways of being creative than just fic and art, and we do like to say that we're an ALL THE THINGS bar. IDEAS are creative, thinky thoughts are creative, discussion is creative, and we love 'em. Feel free to join in and share! :D

(Natasha has a preference for band aids? ...I can believe this, heh.)
