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!

Clint runs any kind of store and Natasha is a computer consultant/web designer/hacker or other and brought in to update his computer system/website and is horrified by how archaic it is.

5 times Clint is asked relationship advice and gives what he'd do if it were Natasha and that 1 time he and Natasha commiserate over how badly that backfired

He wears short skirts (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3z7yuWook1qzzlpgo1_500.jpg), I wear T-shirts, he's archery captain, and I blew up the bleachers...

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee

There's also the option of "tracking" the comments that are prompts you'd like to see fills for, or tracking the entire post via LJ's settings. (I posted a tutorial for it leading up to the first Secret Santa ages ago, but once I get home tonight I can actually dig out a link to it)

I know I've been keeping up with the new prompts/comments this week by having LJ just send me an email whenever someone posts/comments, and am using labels/tags in my email to keep that from being overwhelming.

(since the email LJ sends includes links back to the main thread, thread+comments and has a reply box built in, this works pretty well for me, but ymmv.)

(Not necessarily advocating for keeping the fills in this post, mind you, just offering up possible work arounds. :) )

Thanks! Do post that tutorial again, by all means, but the way I see it in my currently untutored brain, fill-replies to prompts I left myself I would get notified for as "reply to comment" now. And tracking only some of the hundred+ other prompts wou'd mean I might miss some cool fills for stuff I'm NOT tracking.... Tracking the whole thing, with the current volume of comments, still looks like a flood, even if I knew how to do labelling. So it comes down to a trawl throug 1,000+ comments (most of which are collapsed ...) to find new fills. ;-)

Oh I like this! Ha, yes, Clint might know about pop culture but he's so clumsy when it comes to people. I can absolutely see Natasha, trained to fit into any social situation, getting exasperated and wanting to do something about his people skills *grins*.

Gathering as the dust settles.

After the events of Winter Solider the hospital/medical facility that Fury takes Fitz and Simmons to is the one where Natasha finds Clint (and he's there because of a mission, HYDRA, recent events in Fraction's Hawkeye comic, whatever you like) or she's had to rescue Clint and take him there. Along with other characters if you like (maybe even the same place Steve is?).

This is a headcanon thing of mine that i've yet to find a place to play with, so have at it:

Maria Hill/Melinda May teaches Natasha tatical driving, driving like James Bond only far better. She wonders why, since they've pretty much handed her over to Clint as a kind of punishment/being responsible for her being with SHIELD in the first place, but there's a good reason why Clint isn't the one who teaches her - SHIELD likes him in a plane cockpit, but Natasha discovers on a mission why you don't want Barton behind the wheel of a car or ground vehicle. It's not that he can't drive exactly...

(On a comics note under this scribble in my notebooks I also have this: "He had a car," says Natasha, "but then there was a hurricane.")

That time when Natasha shows up at Clint's apartment and Kate and a bunch of Young Avengers are there hanging out. That time when she shows up and there's a BBQ party happening on the roof. That time when she shows up and gets roped into helping someone move in.

And Natasha is much more cut off from the people in her building. Although, y'know there's this cat...

And then the time when Clint show's up at Natasha's apartment and there's Steve and Bucky and Sam (and Sharon and Maria and maybe other people they bonded with during Winter Soldier, Bobbi even). And the cat.

You know how people have pinboard or sticker maps with all the places they've been marked with coloured pins? And maybe places they want to go? Clint and Natasha have a map, which started out as a joke and was on the wall of Coulson's office or a SHIELD breakroom, but has migrated to the Avenger's Tower or elsewhere... Anyway, they have this map. With all the places they've been shot, stabbed, fallen from high places, fake married someone, fake married each other, been arrested, broken out of jail, been banned by that country's government, been banned from going to again by Fury...

Insert amusing conversations and/or incidents.

James Bond's driving sucks. We all know that! ;-)

In his will Phil Coulson left Natasha and Clint join custody of a pet. (Any pet you like.) They debate who's place to keep it at, or time share, or where's best since they're both out a lot, or should they move in together or keep it at SHIELD or Tony uses this to force them into coming to live in Avengers Tower... Their fellow Avengers force them to take this pet thing seriously, but they kinda were anyway, just were playing it cool. Cue hilariity and misadventures. And learning that they can be responsible for another living thing.

(And maybe Phil is okay with this because a plane that keeps chasing danger is no real place for a pet, but then what happens at the end of Agents of SHIELD happens and he kinda wants his pet back...)

(Although it may be waaay too late because the pet likes Kate best.)

[personal profile] inkvoices 2014-08-07 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Which is why Maria Hil with her driving skills at the start of Avengers would teach her to drive much better ;) (Fury armoured up his car because he can't drive like Hill.)

Honestly, I want to write this, but I think this is temporarily above my chops. I've snagged a few other of your prompts though.

[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com 2014-08-07 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, Clint actually DOES drive better than even Hill (he managed to shake her pursuit pretty effectively), thereby deepening the mystery of Why Not Him.

Oh, and as for your other comment (can't find the string, among the 1000s) about writing fanfiction Forever, I just bought a lottery ticket for that purpose ...

Same! But this bar has a diverse range of interests, I'm sure someone somwhere is qualified. :P

There are a fair amount of stories about Natasha not being interested in sex because of her past, or using it as a tool rather than for plesure, or bing used by other for it, an so on, and then the ones were she's regained it... and I thought, what if Natasha saw this more as language that she's been taught, self-taught, practised, and become fluent in? What if Natasha uses sex and not the other way around. Sometimes she doesn't know how to be demonstrative, or she can't find the right words, but comfort, desire, trust, love, anger, fear... Clint knows Natasha so well because she speaks to him in her language and he's learnt to understand it.

YES!!!

I don't mind fics written on this trope if they do it very, very well, but it doesn't feel right to me. This is a woman who uses her body and had a very longtime lover in the comics (Winter Soldier) besides having no obvious hangups about sex anywhere in canon. There's a line in a fic somewhere, "Every part of her body is a tool." And she does seem so fluent in that, my headcanon is that she has no hangups and has no problem expressing herself in whatever form. After all, that's what her work depends on.

:realizes I got up on the soapbox: :gets back down: :looks sheepish: But yes! Want to read!
