Promptathon 2014

The Good Ship C/N Promptathon
of Magic and Joy: Round 3



Break out the confetti canons!!

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 WILD. 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. As this is a Clint/Natasha promptathon, your prompts and fanworks can include other characters, but the central focus must be on Clint and/or Natasha. If you’re posting large images, please be mindful of members with slower Internet connections and place the image under a cut or link.

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. Work hard, shippers.

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, August 2nd and will remain open until August 9th. Submissions will start on August 16th, and will remain open until August 31st.  It is, in fact, A WHOLE MONTH OF PROMPTATHON.

If you can’t complete your fanwork by August 31st, that’s okay. You’re still welcome to post your fanwork to the community! However, the promptathon masterlist will only include fanworks from August 16-31.

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. If all you want to do is post prompts and share in the squee, that’s fine too!




  • 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. Now fly, my pretties, fly!

SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.


Thanks to everyone who participated!

Oooooh! You beat me to it! (Actually, while my prompt involves this song, it's not quite that specific? So I'll probably still post it. BUT YAY NOT THE ONLY ONE TO KNOW THIS SONG AND THINK C/N!)

Oooh. This one I definitely have to try to do.

Top Gun AU. Natasha's a pilot, Clint's her new RIO.

*Kenny Loggins belts out Danger Zone in the background*

Cross-country Rally Sport Racing AU. They're competing drivers who have to team up to win/finish the race.

Well, belly on up to the be_compromised bar, it's the friendliest place in town. First round's on me!

I love this prompt, I just wish I knew the comic's better.

[identity profile] cybermathwitch.livejournal.com 2014-08-05 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I like that. I like that a lot.

[identity profile] cybermathwitch.livejournal.com 2014-08-05 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Oh! That gives me an idea for another prompt! Thank you! (This one is brilliant, btw, and I really hope someone fills it!)

One of my first thoughts at the end of Winter Soldier was Natasha dragging Clint into Tony's lab along with a picture of Sam with the wing-pack going "YOU ARE MAKING HIM SOME OF THOSE!" :D

[identity profile] cybermathwitch.livejournal.com 2014-08-05 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I LOVE this beyond reason. :D

[identity profile] cybermathwitch.livejournal.com 2014-08-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
::paging [livejournal.com profile] sweetwatersong::

What do you think? Because Reasons? ;)

speaking of which, I still totally have that printed out and hanging in my cubicle at work. It makes me smile all the time.

A longer one, from Wintersong's "Found" (http://wintersong0.tripod.com/xfic/Lost/Lost_entry.htm):

It was a courtship in its simplest form. Offer and response. Advance and retreat...

The pace picked up... He attacked, she blocked. She attacked, he parried. Each absorbed the other's ability. Blows came more swiftly as they learned the limits of the other's reach and reflex. She saw it build. She saw it flower. She saw it happen. She saw the very instant it ceased to be a practice bout...

...and became a dance.

Once, only once had she ever been where they were. When the goal became that of discovery. When you knew your partner so well that you could drop the last restraint, the last conscious control over your body and simply become. When the blows had no fall-back, no restraint. When you could risk it, only because you knew your partner would block it. When you would move...only because you knew where your partner would be. And the dance became an upward spiral as the blows became faster, as hands moved faster than thought, as the body literally reacted in a violent tango that had nothing of violence at it's heart.

It was truth.

It was trust.

It simply was.

And then they stopped. The tension came to an almost unbearable crest and everyone in the room was poised on the edge, praying to be taken over. They stopped. The fierce
grins of joy that each had worn faded as eyes locked, sharing knowledge and awareness of self.

And then it was over.

Two sides of the conversation/relationship:

Clint: (Hozier's "Take Me to Church" - lyrics (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/hozier/takemetochurch.html))



Natasha: (Shakira's "Empire" - lyrics (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/shakira/empire.html))

This is incredibly gorgeous.
scribblemyname: (this was your idea)

[personal profile] scribblemyname 2014-08-05 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
:cackles: Yes, just that sort of thing!

[identity profile] cybermathwitch.livejournal.com 2014-08-05 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it? The whole series is like that - I've probably read that series more times than just about any other book or fic I've ever come across. (And I was ecstatic to realize just how much her observations applied to C/N when I read it after seeing Avengers.)

Your icon is gorgeous, too! :)

Hello! Ahhh...wasn't trying to steal your thunder, but great minds think alike! I'll keep looking for a prompt in the list that hasn't already been written, hopefully. However, thanks for the link to your story...just started reading it.

[identity profile] akaz40.livejournal.com 2014-08-05 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
O.K., I'm going for this one, since equestrian is one of my hobbies: Clint and Natasha are learning horseback riding!

[identity profile] akaz40.livejournal.com 2014-08-05 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Clinton and Natasha discover the Chena hot springs of Alaska :)(Yes, I've been there...can post a link for those interested in this).

Thanks! I screencapped it from Divergent.

OK, I've held out long enough.

No stealing of thunder involved! Any prompt can be filled as many times as there are stories out there, and people willing to tell them! :-) (Last year we had 3 stories for one particularly attractive prompt ...)

Just wanted to let you know that, if you had a hankering for this particular prompt, that you can read ONE story already -- hopefully one of several! :-)

These last 2 prompts of yours speak to my shipping soul.
