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!

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
There's no claiming of prompts, right? More like a comment meme, see - like - fill (once the time for that arrives) and if there's more than one fill then hey, the more, the merrier?

Yep, that's the way it always worked :) Because more fic is always good!

Not at all! There can be many fills for a prompt. :)

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
Argh. I passed out at 9 pm (my time), and so missed the first page of prompting. Darn jetlag! Oh well, I will have to make up for lost time. ;D

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
I crashed right after posting, so I woke up this morning to see 89 comments already! O.O Looks like this will be a great year!

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
I'm getting to unload so many plot bunnies I'd never have time, but it's kind of nerve-wracking to see how many I have, how many variations on a theme, and some of them just seem weird. :le sigh:

I blame [livejournal.com profile] alphaflyer for all the 5 things ones.

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
Question! (Ish)

I think I've read all the backlog of prompts thus far (to the point that my eyes are crossing and I've tracked the post so I'll get any new ones in my inbox) - but has there been any kind of Hydra-related prompt that I might've missed?

I have a bunny or a hallucination, I'm not sure which. :D

There is one now ... on p. 14. :-)

:headdesk:
I will be writing fics for foreeeever. I suspect I'll have to drabble all the prompts I love and can't devote long enough to.

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
I'm beginning to think, what with nearly 1,000 comments in this post, we may need to rethink the "put your fill into a reply in the comments" policy from previous 'thons.... The thought of scrolling though 15+ pages of comments to this post, first to find the original prompt I clipped out, and then to see if someone else has filled a prompt, fills me ... with dread.

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
I feel like this was largely my fault. I've been doing a serious braindump here. Hm.

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. :) )

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
Trying to figure out if this is even reasonable to ASK about, but I'm about to write 27 Clint/Natasha fics of varying lengths, and that's a whole lot to ask for anyone to beta, especially considering we're all ficcing here pretty much, but all the Clint/Natasha betas I know are on here. Any thoughts on getting beta help? I could run them out plain, as most of my fic goes out unbeta'ed, but not usually if I'm doing it at this speed. I'd hate to send rush jobs off.

Taking a moment to be super-excited I finished the first story and it was wildly outside of my supposed comfort zone and I love the way it turned out. :grins: Now back to work...

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
So, is anyone else going back through the prompts side-by-side with their WIP folder(s) and playing the "well, if you squint this might match up..." game?

JUST CURIOUS. NO REASON. NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG...
[identity profile] hufflepuffsneak.livejournal.com on August 9th, 2014 02:58 am (UTC)
Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
Yep, definitely. The problem is that a bunch of WIPs aren't Clintasha. Shucks!

Thank you for working this! My first time doing the Clintasha fiction and I have a prompt picked out! Do we just submit stories to this forum? Thanks!

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
Hiya! Are we going to have any kind of thread or post to offer/ask for cheerleaders or betas? One of my regular betas is buried under new management responsibility and the other is currently in the back country without access to the internet or even phones.

I'm planning to put an ask up in my journal, but I wasn't sure if we'd be doing that here, too? Thanks! :D

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee
I feel like Clint, showing up 15 minutes late with Starbucks, just in time to see the burning wreckage of SHIELD.

"20 PAGES. O___O I HAVE MISSED SO MUCH."

This is the best bar.
