ATTF: Let's Show Joss Where To Go -- Scripts, Clips and Cameos  
Hey there, dearest members of the Bar of Bars!  I took the day off to do some writing (!), and now that I finished cleaning up the mess the enormous, fat raccoon that lives down the lane made of our garbage last night (yes, the can WAS secured ...) I thought I’d post today’s issue a bit early.  Here’s hoping this will give our friends on other continents than the one I'm on a sporting chance to play while it’s still Friday there, too!

Right.  Topic.

We just had another great Promptathon – but I just know that your creativity hasn’t been exhausted yet.  Far from it!  So I thought we could tap into it once more.  Like this:

We’ve all been squeeing over glimpses of That Necklace in the stills from Cap2, the trailers for Thor2, and wondering what the MCU future holds for Hawkeye and Black Widow.  If you’re anything like me, you’re hoping for a cameo, a post-credit clip, or a little snippet of script that might put some wind into the sails of our 'ship.  Or you’re just a wee bit ticked off concerned that there is still no sign of the Hawkeye/Black Widow movie they should be making, instead of in addition to the ones that are in the pipeline.

So here’s your challenge:

Give us your pitch, write up your script outline, your single-scene story board, your trailer – for the cameo, the one-minute clip, the extra-feature short, or the whole Big Damn Movie you’d like to see, starring our favourite assassins and their assorted BAMFy friends. 

If you’re muse is on vaca today, there are some fantastically talented artists and vidders out there who’ve already done movie posters, clips and trailers – so rec away!

Just to get you going -- a while ago, [livejournal.com profile] sunny_serenity posted this lovely piece of inspiration:




Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

And … remember to have fun!!!

So, here's my idea for one of those popular Marvel "shorts" that help give some background to a story, fill in missing time, or expand characters...

Title: Behind the S.H.I.E.L.D.: Budapest

Set up: In my world, Hawkeye and Black Widow are already top agents at SHIELD when the Budapest incident occurs. They are clearly dispatched there on a mission as Strike Team Delta.

Footage: We see quick snippets of surveillance footage of the team in tactical scenarios, hand-to-hand combat, shoot-outs, and lots of running and ducking in the streets. We see them end up in a crowded marketplace with "the bad guys" frantically looking around for them. They covertly acquire local attire and throw it over themselves to blend in. As the hostiles move in, Black Widow looks to prepare for a showdown when Hawkeye grabs her and spins her around, meeting her eyes. He brings his head down for a show-stopping kiss. They remain lip-locked while the hostiles glance right over them and continue out of the marketplace. When the coast is clear, they pull apart and give each other a deep look, nod, and then take off in the opposite direction.

Soooooo, in Cap 2: Cap and Black Widow find themselves in a crowded mall and while the hostiles are closing in, Widow brings Cap in for a big kiss. Again, the hostiles glance over them and move out. When they part, Cap, of course, looks a little star-struck. Widow nods to him and turns back around to keep moving. But, you see a ghost of a smile on her face and hear her barely whisper, "Now I get it. That's how HE remembered Budapest."

Re: ATTF
Love it!! Yes! :-) Provided Widow makes it clear which kiss she preferred -- maybe by tugging on That Necklace ...? ;-)

Re: ATTF
Excellent suggestion! I forget that not everybody thinks the way we do when it comes to these two.
