Promptathon 2013

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 7th (or 8th if you’re in my part of the world ;) ), and will remain open until July 17th. Submissions will start on July 17th, 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 liiiiike this sooo much. I like that there's waryness and that boys have this period where they need to gain trust (or not, depends how the things develop), and that it's not only Clint who's suspicious, it's James as well. And then Clint passes some sort of test and he is back to being amused big dog, yeeeep, James you smug boy. (In my own 'verse I set up things a bit differently, but this works out for me too, it's very realistic). And then things aren't quite right, so let's go read what's that all about :D

:D!! I'm so glad it works for you! I've heard a lot of good things about your OT3 fic, so I was a bit nerve-y about dynamics, aha. (This is where I have to admit to not having read them! I avoid fics rated above T, because my triggers are pretty indiscriminate re: consensuality when it comes to sexual content.)

I love Bucky so much ;_;. I just. Every time I see him onscreen I want to give him a hug and feed him soup and maybe pinch him for being so smug /laughing.

AH AH I guess there's someone who gosspied about me and my fic wheee :DDDDDD How about this? I write one that's not above T? There are parts that shouldn't be above T, but my mind gets stuck in the gutter because gutter is my way of de-stressing. I do understand the triggers, they're not always logical. Totally, totally understand.

ALL THE SOUP AND HUGS AND CUDDLES FOR BUCKY. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IT HURTS.

:DD If you write one not above T I will totally read it! \o/ (And, yes, de-stressing makes sense!)

There's that one time when people (Clint and Natasha included!) threw a birthday party for Bucky. There's one where Clint was in hospital and James kept Natasha company! There's one where Steve accidentally catches them dancing in the kitchen (three of them) - there are LOTS! (And if you have a prompt or an idea or a thought, just PM me or something! I am all about happy romantic things where people heal and get along and do nice things for each other :D ) !!!!!
