Everyone loves a poll.

I find myself torn over what Fanwork Friday rec topics to discuss today, so we are going to get some Democracy on this, stat.  Help me out, people of the good ship C/N!!!  (As always, discussion, chitchat, ideas and general ridiculousness are welcomed and encouraged.)[Poll #1850343]

I LOVE EARLY MORNING POLLS. (And I don't even have any caffeine in my system. This is what I'm like without caffeine!)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Ha! I love it. You can never have too much capslock in your life as far as I'm concerned. And polls. They're the best. Democracy + ticky boxes? Don't get no better than that. ;)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

It's too early for decisions...

Hee!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. ;)

[ashen_key]

In addition to voting for smoochie stuff (which I actually have a rec for! If. No one else recs it before the post goes up, which it normally does when I'm asleep because timezones are evil), there is an

Avengers kissing fest!

over on DW that clearly needs prompts and fills, and there is already some awesome Clint/Natasha stuff (and I'm working on a fill)...

Actually, that reminds me - may I suggest that at some point we hold a comment ficathon of our own? For justice and for fic and for squee.

[ashen_key]

(Actually, in addition to suggesting ficathon - I've been contemplating one day making a post for us writers (and lurkers and commenters and everyone else) to babble/cry/flail/capslock/ about our WiPs and story-ideas in a big pile of solidarity and ideas and cheerleading and commiseration (and help! of course).

If only because I've just looked at my Avengers writing folder, and I have...fifteen things that have made it actually having a document with words devoted to them. AUs and backstory and crack and random, and ahaahha, oh god what-

So, anyone be interested in that kind of post?)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

I would LOVE that kind of a post. I love anything discussing writing, and that would be super helpful. Let's do it, I say!

And YES. We totally need to host our own comment ficathon. FOR JUSTICE AND FOR FIC AND FOR SQUEE.(Can that be like our motto around here? Can i get an icon? Holla. ;P)

Should we have a particular theme? Or maybe just open to any and all prompts?


And OMG kissin'. I need to check this out. I've been itching to write some of that for certain assassin people. ;)

[ashen_key]

\o/ awesome. Because ahah, oh god. If nothing else, it can be a support-post for overactive muses. *she says, poking at a fill for the kissing ficathon instead of any of her other WiPs*

It is totally our motto. :D

And I figure for a first ficathon, we can probably just leave it open? Then we can get all kinds of things popping up.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

We so need a support group for overactive muses. And a recovery group. And maybe a group that does tequila shots to deal with the aftermath.

I think leave it open too. I'll get with the other modlies and work this out pronto. Maybe we could do something as early as next week? I don't want to overlap with any existing ones though or steal any thunder. How long is the kissin' one and noir one still open for?

[lorienwillow.livejournal.com]

Love love love your icon!!!!

And I'd like to sign up for that support group. And the recovery group. Oh, tequila sounds good.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

That is the lovely and very talented inkvoices 's work there. SO PURTY.

We need all manner of support groups. That much is clear.

[ashen_key]

Yesssss. Should my brain line to functionality today, I may toss up the post today. (Or not! My brain is a fickle thing, particularly when ill. But it'll be up soon, because, ahahhahlolwhat)

I think both kissin' and noir don't technically have an end-date, but the kissin' one only opened a few days ago. So, maybe next weekend for our ficathon? Or the weekend after?

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Bring it on, I say! Whenever the mood strikes you. Hope you feel better too. :)


inkvoices and I were talking, and I think we're going to have something like a "make-a-wish-athon" where people can leave prompts and requests for anything they want-- fic, icons, artwork, vids, etc. Or they can just leave generic prompts and people can respond in any medium. That way we keep the love alive with all different kinds of fanwork. Whatchya think?

[ashen_key]

Thanks! Stupid weak mortal form, doesn't it know I have fic to research and write? *g*

Ooooh, I think those are both excellent ideas! You could even make two separate fests out of them - but I think the second is more open, and more "YAY ALL THE THINGS :D" rather then the first being "PRETTY PLEASE :D?". If that makes any sense?

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

True. I'm kind of leaning toward the open request/open submission forum, b/c it would just be fun to see what people come up with.

[ashen_key]

Yessss, I think that'd be excellent, just because of all the various talents people are bringing to this party, it'd be lovely to see what different people would do with the same prompt.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly. :) Maybe we can shoot for next weekend....

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

DARK!FIC, MY ONE TRUE LOVE COME TO ME COME TO ME.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

*g*

I figure we can do the winner this week and the runner up next. Smoochies and dark!fic for all. That's just how we roll. Equal opportunity and all that. ;)

[brickhousewench.livejournal.com]

Totally random (but then again, I'm just out of bed, so random brain is standard operating procedure) every time I see that Icon I'm sad because it cuts off the best part of that picture, which is Renner's totally adorkable big feet.



Look at the SHOES!!!!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Omg, I know. His feet are ridiculous. And not just in that pic. Adorkable indeed. Bless. :)

[lorienwillow.livejournal.com]

Can I just vote for any and all recs/pics/vids? Not picky at all!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

You icon is cracking me up-- and I totally agree! Just need all the things. :)

[aurora-0811.livejournal.com]

FRIDAY!!!! YAY!

My brain is on weekend mode so I'm voting for the fact I can't get the Avengers cover out of my brain. What is in that book? I swear to all the Asgardian Gods that if Marvel is trolling us with a tease and then doesn't deliver possible future C/N storylines I will cut some bitches. I JUST NEED ALL THE MASTER ASSASSIN THINGS. So yeah...I've had alot of caffeine today and I have alot of feelings. Okay!

*point to icon* This icon has made me feel so many awesome things today. I actually want to come up with a whole prayer circle procedure now.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

I actually want to come up with a whole prayer circle procedure now.

We need this. Hell, you might just have to the be official prayer circle Chaplain, giving spiritual counsel and wisdom to fangirls in need. ;P

[aurora-0811.livejournal.com]

I ACCEPT. I shall put my years of fangirl expertise of hope and heartache to good use.

Holy services include head canon support, spec, flail, booze and pic spams. Everyone is invited to testify their love to the good ship Clint/Natasha.
