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!

Fic: New Rhythm (Teen and Up, some swearing)
I should also point out that there is what I feel to be time-appropriate misogynistic undertones in parts of this story but that doesn't mean that both Natasha and Maria aren't BAMF in their own right. I tried to make that abundantly clear in the storyline.

Title: New Rhythm

The joint was packed with people by the time Natasha made her first appearance. Even though the lights were low, she still sparkled. It nearly took Clint’s breath away every time he saw her. Look, don’t touch, he reminded himself each and every time they were this close. Just because he couldn’t have her (not that this dame was the sort of girl that could be had), didn’t mean that he didn’t want to try.

Across the dimly lit, smoky room, Clint could make out his contact. He sighed as he pretended he couldn’t see Maria Hill’s piercing glance. What was it with his life and the sort of dames that could clock him a good one without breaking a nail? He was surrounded by them. All of them were the Look, don’t touch sort. When this sting was over, he was going to get himself somewhere with a lot of sun and girls who wore very little as they served him pretty drinks with fruit wedged on the side of the glass.

“Hey, sailor.” The throaty voice coming from his right startled him enough that he nearly broke cover and pulled the tiny derringer from the pocket of his coat. It was only there for emergencies, Fury had reminded him as he’s put it safely in place. Everyone knew Clint couldn’t shoot his way out of a paper bag. Not with that sort of weapon. His hands already ached for his bow and arrows, not something that went well with this disguise.

Re: Fic: New Rhythm (Teen and Up, some swearing)
I really like the feel of this, you've set up the atmosphere so well. And Clint's inner monologue is great.

Your description of SHIELD headquarters really rang true with what we saw in Captain America, or at least what I remember from Captain America!
