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!

I don't know this universe, but that sounds awesome!

First book is called Bitten, then the second, Stolen, starts expanding the universe. The early books are solid, the odd middle book is a little hit and miss, the vast majority I really love, and the series is now finished bar the odd short story. Featuring supernatural people living mostly undetected alongside everyone else, kick ass ladies of all kinds (from computer ones to physically kick ass ones, from sporty types to high heel lovers), romance, banter, murder, and supernatural shenanigans. Recommended :)

But are there any queer people?

Yes, but very much in the background I'm afraid.

Hmm, supernatural with diversity: Sarah Rees Brenen's YA series starting with the Demon Lexicon does diversity much better, LBTQ main characters, complete with demons and banter, plus again with kick ass ladies. The overall ending is a little pat, but that's a good fun trilogy. I'd also recommend Holly Black for diversity, although of the main pairings it's something like two het and one LBTQ, and for fairies who're..other, not good or bad, just very different and I love that. Read either of those authors?

I have read a bunch of Holly Black, and I love her. Sarah Rees Brennan has been on my to read list forever.

I love Holly Black also :D I enjoyed Brennan's first trilogy, Team Human was okay, and I'm waiting for the last book in the Unspoken trilogy before casting verdict on that one, but I always, always enjoy her character banter.
