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!

And because I always love seeing what people come up with for this: AU put Clint and Natasha in your place of work.

They'd make adorable members of the IT department.

I can already see them wreak havoc in customer service... *laughs hysterically*

Didn't I once write that Clint had all the diplomatic skills of a Sherman tank? I'd like to see him negotiate a disarmament treaty with the Russians....

And then the Congress dances. :-)

They could volunteer in a charity bookshop, but I sure as hell am not putting them in Sainsburys. :P

FIC: Be Humankind (T, no warnings)

[personal profile] franztastisch 2014-08-26 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
People start up at these kinds of places for different reasons, Peggy knows this. She started up because she needed a distraction from her PhD – something so wholly unrelated to what she was studying that it felt like a break without feeling like she was wasting time. And clearly it was a great decision considering she got a husband out of it; Steve, who started up because Steve is the kind of person who wants to change the world and probably will.

Clint started up because he needed to feel like something was going right for him. He’s never said this, to her or to anyone else, but she knows that it’s true. Darcy wanted to meet people, Pepper needed friends, Sif needed to improve her English – well, that’s the official reason, Sif’s English is probably better than most native English speakers. Tony’s dad made him and then regretted it when it turned out not to be the punishment he intended it to be.

But now that she thinks about it, Peggy can’t quite work out why Natasha is here.

FIC: Quit Bugging Me (G, no warnings)

[personal profile] scribblemyname 2014-08-27 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
(or on AO3)

"Clint!" Natasha hovered menacingly over her coworker's cubicle. "That's not a bug. Stop kicking it back to me."

Clint grinned up at the IT programmer. "The indents are off."

He had to be the most stubborn SQA Natasha had to deal with.

She narrowed her eyes and reminded him again, "Our site doesn't have indents and we're not doing a workaround, so no. I'm not going to make it look like a list."

Grudgingly Clint sighed. "Then put a note on the bug that you're deferring it instead of saying you fixed it."

"We're not deferring it, Clint!" Natasha growled. "It's not a bug."

"Fine, fine." He added a 'not an error' tag to the bug and closed it. "You happy?"

She crossed her arms. "Now about that other bug…"

"Nope. Not listening. Don't care," Clint steamrollered right over her protest. "You only get one rescinded bug a day. And yes, whoever designed that navigation menu did a—"

She put a hand over his mouth and raised an eyebrow. The boss didn't exactly like It when anyone cussed.

"Lousy job then," Clint groused. "Ship it to whoever's responsible, but it's a problem and it needs to be fixed."

"It's not my job. It's Pepper's job."

"Email her then." He clicked around and added another bug to the queue. "We are using AP style, right?"

"Nitpicker."

"You love it."

Natasha sighed, cut her losses, and headed back to her desk. She opened the new bug notification and stared at the comment. She was going to kill him—impale him with his own 'lucky' arrow. She picked up the phone and dialed his extension.

"You rang?" She could hear his smug grin.

"No, I will not go on a date with you if you ever ask me via Bugherd ever, ever again." She slammed down the phone.

An email popped up in her box.

Movie night still on?

She groaned and resisted the urge to bang her head on her desk. Fine.

Bwahahahahahaha, fabulous! My dad is a software engineer, so this just cracks me up SO MUCH (don't know all that much about computers other than the usual stuff, though. If I ever have problems, dad is the first person I call XD).

So glad you liked. I've been knee-deep in getting bugs kicked back to me as "not an error", so I decided to take it out on them.
