******************

NOTE: PROMPTING HAS NOW CLOSED, BUT FICS AND FANWORKS MAY STILL BE SUBMITTED THROUGH AUGUST 31ST. THANKS!

Welcome!!!! The time is now upon us. This will kick off a month's worth of prompting and fanworking and all the good things. Not sure what to do? Click below for our handy-dandy Promptathon Guide!

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 crazy. All I ask is that you keep it tasteful and warn for anything explicit or triggery. Also, try to be as specific as you can with your prompts--this is often very helpful to those creating the fanwork.

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.
Tailgate and chitchat and keep leaving prompts. And mull over the epic fanworks you are creating.

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. The nitty gritty details of posting your stuff can be found HERE. Please read before you post

Timeframe:
Prompts will be accepted starting today, Friday, July 13th (!!!) and will remain open until Friday, August 10th. Submissions may be submitted beginning on Friday, July 20th and may continue to be submitted until August 10th.

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.

Meet new and awesome people. Because srsly, I love everyone in this bar. It's a good damn bar. Don't be afraid to say hello
Ship like you’ve never shipped before.
Tailgate when appropriate. My motto is, if something ain’t a cocktail party, you just aren’t trying hard enough. In that spirit, aurora_0811and I are hosting the tailgate section (which I think at this point just includes random chatter and ridiculousness, cheerleading and tomfoolery, because I doubt our comm’s talkative nature will be suppressed even during the prompting/waiting period.) So pull up a helicarrier-shaped lawnchair, crack open a cold one and settle in for the festivities. And leave prompts.

And most of all, have fun. :)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

yeah, i HAVE read that one. i enjoyed the wordless nature of the love in that one too. sorry, i'm not very good with leaving feedback. i tend to lurk. ao3 makes it easy to forget to leave a review.

We need to stop being so damn sacred of complexity full stop.

yes yes and YES. reasons that zoe saldana quote (http://everythingismusical.tumblr.com/post/28823721072) floating around is so amazing but will sadly be over used by week's end.

the desire to reduce her male partner to less-than

ugh, misandry is NOT the answer to equality. this misses the point completely. yes, we've proven time and again a woman can accomplish things men can but that's not the ultimate goal. recognition and acknowledgement of rights and BEING is what we are fighting for. how that gets so skewed is beyond me. reasons partnership is one of my most favourite things in the world.

side note: have you seen political animals? it kind of hits on all these points.

nah, don't worry about it. it wasn't a backhanded troll for comments. i'm just glad you enjoyed it; it was pretty much my first attempt at trying to take the words away from these two.

(incidentally, that is actually my primary irk with AO3. it's brilliant from a consumption perspective, but it's like tumblr for words. click a button if you like and no incentive to engage. ah, but that's a discussion for another day.)

i had seen that quote floating around but didn't realize it was hers. a thousand yeses. i think we'll start to get a lot more traction as a species when we throw men out as a yardstick for anything (same with women too). either/or gets so tiresome; i'd like the world I live in to be both/and (and full of wild purple technicolor too).

(i have not but now i'm intrigued...)

in my early days of online fandom i used to comment on EVERYTHING. i've gotten lazy in my old age. sometimes i feel bad about it especially when it's something worth praising.

(yeah, tumblr is very much so fast food blogging and ao3 is like some sushi pick-up place. a wee bit more substance but there's not place to sit down and eat! i guess this is why i'll never give lj up cos where else am i going to get epic meta discussions and squee that has meaning?)

that show on lifetime the conversation is kind of brilliant. (where the zoe quote is from) it's just women talking about life and sometimes they talk about men and sex and kids but mostly they talk about value as a person and what it means in the context of female with a heavy side order of geeking out over things. it's actually pretty cool.

i say down with the measuring system too. what matters in the end is if you've done the right thing. granted the morality scale may not be any better or worse than the existing scale but there's an inherent voice in humans that raise flags or yield caution that should be listened to more. ...omg what are we even talking about anymore?

SUPER SEXY SPIES RULE! there, brought it back on topic.

yeah, it's why i can't give up ye olde LJ either. they meta for me is everything. so much of my creative process comes from the conversations i have here--i'd go so far as to say that most of my fics are spawned in some way or another out of the dialogue. this shit don't happen in a vacuum.

SUPER SEXY SPIES!!!!

(... and i am happy to report that thoughts are happening for 3rd-party scenes and such.)

it's nice to be a part of that after years of inactivity. it's kinda weird... but also like bike riding, so. the colliding forces of awesome help paint a great picture of character and churn out brilliant satisfying story telling. i forgot that feeling. le sigh.

(omg, yay! i was also thinking that coulson, at the very least, knew about the sexing since 'bait' but chose not to say anything when he erased the footage and audio. i mean what clandestine intelligence agency doesn't bug every nook and crany of their facility? a lazy one. SHIELD is anything but.)

(well, SOMEONE erased the fottage... O_o)

Promptathon is heeeeeeeeeeeeeere!
