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 guess I don't feel it because I don't see how it can work out in "real life"...like I feel like someone, at some point, would be like "hey, this situation actually kinda sucks" You know? lol

..but I still bow to the temple of anuna fiction. Amen.

I'll take that as a compliment, thank you! Don't bow to me, though. I'm just another writer here.

I really don't think that OT3 situation would suck for three people who choose it.

Good bc it was meant to be a compliment. :)

Actually no? There are people who are polyamorous. It's a valid lifestyle. It works for them, and I happen to know polyamorous people who have perfectly healthy polyamorous relationships.

Just because something wouldn't work out for me or you, it doesn't mean it wouldn't work out for other people. or, if you or I think something is the right way to do something, it doesn't mean it's the right way for other people. I'm not polyamorous, for example, which is why writing OT3 has been both challenging and interesting. But I see the world through my eyes... and other people see it differently and live their lives differently.

Also, bear in mind that there might be polyamorous people on this comm.

I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else. I'm sorry about my comment.

Ok, I typed something earlier (while I was nursing a hyper 10-month old so who knows what happened to it)...

I just wanted to apologize for my comment earlier. I wasn't thinking, and I was being extremely ignorant. I pride myself for being extremely accepting of any sort of sexual preference, even a non-preference (recently watched a documentary about asexuality, didn't bat an eyelash). I wasn't familiar with polyamory, only polygamy (happens sometimes in my parents country of origin), and I read up on it on wikipedia and its not the same thing necessarily. Anyway, all that to say I shouldn't have said what I did, and I am truly sorry. It was just rude. I should have just said its not my cup of tea (for these specific characters) and left it at that.
