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!

Re: Icon Requests Here

Oh, crap. Apparently I never actually sent the reply I wrote to this?

Any kind of graphics would be wonderful - it's turning into this whole sprawling 'verse. (I'm probably tackling the sequel that will involve the rest of the characters for NaNoWriMo in November.) I would love graphics to kind of dress up the fics and use on AO3 and my fic journal to kind of highlight it.

No worries :)

I'd be very happy to do this, but I'm going to stick to icons for the promptathon, mainly because of time constraints. And I like a lot more info gor covers and illustrative graphics, so what kind of thing are you after? ie. Any particular scene? Any particular image of the two of them that you've spotted and think would suit? Any particular quotes or phrases? What are you themes and motifs? What sizes of graphics are you looking at? Would like a cover, a series banner, a fic banner...?

I've been working on some graphics for someone and they gave with this kind of info for example: wild west, Clint as a cowboy, Natasha looking Russian, smoking gun, setting sun, running horses... And then I kept sending them rough images until we got what we were after. So if you have an email address you want to PM me so I can send bits back and forth, there's that as well :)

No worries - and at this point I actually have no idea what I'd like, and I accidentally left it to the last minute, so let's not worry about it this time around. I don't even have a rough thought (I might've, at one point, but the end of this month has been busy/exhausting and I have no brain left to brain with.) I appreciate the offer/encouragement though!

(And I'm horribly worried that this is going to come off sounding somehow bad or passive-aggressive or something and it's absolutely not! I promise! I really am okay with not having anything this time around because it is entirely my fault that I both put it off and have no clear ideas about it!)

Re: Icon Requests Here

[inkvoices]

Okay. Well, I can't promise that I finally get around to finishing reading the fic that I'm not inspired and ninja-graphics it anyway since I know you'd like something ;) and if you do come up with an idea just let me know.

Aww, no, it's fine! I'd like to think I know you better than that :) And I tend to assume everyone is being nice unless proven otherwise anyway, i'm odd that way ;)

Oh, please, throw me into that briar patch. ;) :D


Aww, no, it's fine! I'd like to think I know you better than that :)

:D I know you do - it's just a thing I tend to be paranoid about, more so when I'm tired, thanks to some bad past experiences.

and if you do come up with an idea just let me know.

It's not exactly quite related... but there is something I've been working on that I could use some advice and/or help with? Lemme PM you.
