Promptathon 2013

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

Hello, lovely patrons of the bar! It is now the month of July. Do you know what that means? It’s time for:

The Good Ship C/N Promptathon
of Magic and Joy: Round 2

Are you excited? I know I am!

RULES ON POSTING SUBMISSIONS
(please read before you post! <3)


The Rules. Just follow these three easy steps!

1. Leave a Prompt.
Prompts can be anything--simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases. Anything that, to you, inspires a C/N fanwork. Use your imagination. Go crazy. All we ask is that you place anything NSFW under a cut or link, use trigger warnings when appropriate, and place anything spoiler-y under a cut with a warning. If you’re posting large images, please be mindful of members with slower Internet connections and place the image under a cut or link. Also, try to be as specific as you can with your prompts--this is often very helpful to those creating the fanwork.

And leave as many prompts as you want. I’m serious. Keep coming back, y’all. We want all the prompts we can possibly get Also, be sure to leave each prompt as a separate comment.

2. Wait a week.
Keep leaving prompts and plan your fanworks! This is a time for celebration and creating all of the things.

3. Submit C/N fanwork like there is no tomorrow.
All submissions should either be posted here or linked to this post via a comment. We will make an official post about rules in the time leading up to submissions. Please read it before posting, as responsible partying is to be encouraged at all times.

Timeline

Prompting starts today, July 7^th (or 8^th if you’re in my part of the world ;) ), and will remain open until July 17^th. Submissions will start on July 17^th, and will remain open until August 1.

What we hope to accomplish with all this promptathon-iness:

• A chance to get in the game. Been wanting to jump into the C/N fanwork scene but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. There’s no length requirement on the works submitted, you can focus on drabbles and vidlets and short and sweet projects (or do longer more epic stuff if that strikes your fancy as well).  It’s really entirely up to you. We’re just hoping to provide a fun, no-pressure environment.

• Meet new and awesome people. Newbie or lurker? Here is the perfect opportunity to say hello!


• Ship like you’ve never shipped before.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the mod team.

Have fun, everyone!

I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

I was actually thinking of doing a story called "Not a Victory March" (even started a doc and saved the title) but then it kinda wanted to be dark and right now I'm done with dark for a bit ... But what a title. I hope someone picks it up!

I know all about having enough of dark or angsty things to write. I've been in that kind of headspace several times 8I tried to write something for "make Clint cry" and it was starting to make me really depressive. So I symbolically ripped it up, now I have a different idea for the same prompt.)

When it comes to "Hallelujah" (I love that entire song and yes, it certainly can give you angst ridden ideas); I would really love to see someone reinterpret the lyrics into something not tragic, but okay and normal. It can be done! "Love is not a voctory march" can mean lot of things - love isn't a constant parade it's ups and downs. Now you've given me ideas :D

I didn't think of the lyrics as necessarily leading to something tragic, I just imagined something tough and tired and involving a fair bit of blood (because assassins) -- as opposed to sunshine and light and happy!Clint and happy!Natasha. Your basic h/c, I guess -- except I don't think I'm up to the "h" part right now...

It was always pretty heavy song to me. I love it because of that, and I suppose because we all have hard times in our lives. But it doesn't even have to involve blood - because C/N fics are usually so full of it, because yes, assassins, but that's why I like different takes on them. Assassin-y stuff is very usual for them, and I'm a bit of a black sheep. *GGG* Everyday life things can be hard as well.

Or, Clint could just play it on the piano and Nat could sing it with him, because singing it is a comforting experience. Now *that's* an idea. I may have prompted myself. :D

Check your PM box in a few.
