Promptathon 2019  
Folks of the bar, you know it's summer when we present to you THE EPIC SUMMER PROMPTATHON!!!



Just before we get started we do have some info and rules we’d like you to read…

HOW PROMPTATHON 2019 WORKS

Step One: leave prompts

Prompts can be anything – simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases, anything that inspires a fanwork. Use your imagination. Go wild! All we ask is that you place anything NSFW behind a cut or link and use warnings where appropriate.

We welcome ALL THINGS MARVEL, although we do like it if Natasha and/or Clint is in there somewhere, individually or as friends, lovers, spouses, partners, in gen fic, ANYTHING. That means we do welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes). See here for more info, and always feel free to ask a mod if you have any questions – there’s even a handy questions thread at the top of the promptathon below.

Leave as many prompts as you want. We’re serious. Keep coming back. We want as many prompts as we can possibly get. Just make sure each prompt is in a separate comment.

Step two: squee

Been wanting to jump into the fandom but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. Newbie or a lurker? Here’s the perfect opportunity to say hello! Promptathon is a fun, no-pressure environment. If all you want to do is post prompts and share in the squee, you’re more than welcome! And by squee we mean chatting in the chat thread, replying to prompts to chat about prompts, and just lots of excitement all over the place.

Step three: submit fanworks like there’s no tomorrow

The usual Community Rules apply. There’s no length requirement on fanworks submitted. You can create drabbles or epics, vids, art, fanmixes, anything at all; it’s just all about getting creative! You can fill as many prompts as you want, and prompts can be filled multiple times by whoever wants to fill them.

HOW TO POST

1. Respond in a comment to the prompt you are filling. Try and post the entire work in the comment (if it's short enough), or if not, post a link. Do not post works to the comm. We’re all about one-stop shopping, so try and post in the main promptathon post if the length allows. If it is too long to post in the promptathon post, consider posting the first section as a teaser and then a link (because that's always fun too.)

2. Label your submission in the subject line with FILL, the type of fanwork, your title, and any warnings. Example: FILL fic: 5 Times Clint and Natasha Were Awesome (PG) When filling in the subject line, you may need to view the comm in its original style (if you don't already). Just make sure you can see a subject line when responding with your submission.

3. Be sure to leave ratings and warnings (if any) in the subject line. (See example above.) Help us out and make sure folks know what they're clicking on. Thoughtfulness = LOVE. If the ratings or the warnings won't fit in the subject line, just leave them at the top of your post. If you don't want to include warnings, please put 'I choose not to warn' in the subject line, or again at the top of the post if it doesn't fit.

4. Please put anything NSFW under a cut or link. Put any spoilers under a cut or link with an appropriate warning.

Subject: re: What if

No! Once and for all. No, I am not a mermaid who was made human by my one true love. No, I was not a wooden puppet with a pet bug. No, I am not a long lost Russian princess!!!

How do you even know about these stories anyhow?

Subject: re: What if

Quill and Thor have a strange affection for old animated movies. Mostly, they like stuff made by that freak Disney but occasionally they watch other ones.

(Did you know Disney wanted to pull a Winter Soldier and be frozen in time? WHACKO.)

So ok not a Russian princess, but you are a spider right? Can you weave me a web with some words in it? I got a whole lotta ones I'd like to string up around this ship.

"Aaaargh!" Natasha swiped the email app closed and spun the tablet away from her in disgust.

"Bad news from out in the field?" Clint asked, concern clear in his voice as he came over and placed a warm, comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Just more nonsense from Rocket," she said, tilting her head to look up at him. "How can one small creature be such a major pain in the ass?"

He smirked down at her. "You're asking me? 'Cause I gotta say..."

"Shut up," she laughed. "I'm a pain in the ass in a completely different way."

"That's what you think."

Re: FILL: True (G for everyone!)
Hell yes, there had to be Clint! He did *not* go on a stupid killing rampage (family is optional in this ficlet) although he did get the sweet tats because... SWOON.

Re: FILL: True (G for everyone!)
Ha, brilliant! Of course Rocket uses comms to wind Nat up. (Especially when he's missing the rest if his Guardians family that he'd tease *sad face*) And love Clint being there :)
