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

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, [livejournal.com profile] 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. :)

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
Marvel is one word for it :s Meanwhile I love my pilots or assassins generally having or using guns or other weapons... and even belting the crap out of each other in the right context (UB FTW). But apparently not guns in the bedroom. Oh my brain. Why you make no sense? :P

But yes, the dynamic here is just cracking. It's really atmospheric, for lack of a better word, and I love the mood of this piece :)

This:

The reason I love Pilots and Assassins (and yes, UB = effed up kinky absolute LOVE)

Actually, these two 'ships in the same direction for me, the USS rope and grease smudge is just a little less dysfunctional. Mostly.

ETA: Actually, that pic could be a prompt in and of itself...

So could Unfinished Business, come to that. I would absolutely LOSE IT if someone wrote be a parallel story to UB with these two.

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
YES! THIS!! SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS GUN USAGE!! ... I'm so inconsistent. And have you read Bee's UB-ish fic that started this universe? I suck and don't know how to post links, but go to her lj now. It's called 'bait'. You need to go read it. RFN. And be prepared to lose it.... *g*

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
Yes! I have read and absolutely LOVE "bait". :D (And I totally did lose it when I read it!) Thanks for the rec! :D

There is just something about how completely in sync the two of them are in that moment... guh.

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
First of all, thank you so much. Just-- thank you.

Second:

Bob just posted another snippet in this verse.......

And yes. It's freaking awesome.

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
ETA-- all these fics are out of chronological order. Part of what we're working on right now is figuring out what happens when.

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
Soldiers-and-spies-in-sync FTW!!! :D

And seriously, I LOVE how many pilots people have jumped aboard the good yacht c/n.
My own theory is that assassins is a kind of pilots shipper recovery ship, because they are LIKE pilots, but with less propensity to rip each other's hearts out, stomp on them, then throw them off a cliff :D

Hi, by the way :) I'm super new around here and it's always nice to meet new people!

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin&#39; + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
Hi there! I'm... not actually new to LJ but new to this fandom and haven't been around in so long I might as well be new!

I think you're absolutely right about Pilots/Assassins! So many of the same dynamics, and so much of the same angst except they're not doing it *to* themselves (as much, at least).

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin&#39; + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
Absolutely. They are kinda a relief!
And yeah - all you seasoned fangirls are great :) I am totally the new kid at this school and everyone's been so friendly!
...so friendly, in fact, that I am shirking my actual responsibilities. Sigh... better go do some work now.....

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
Oh mah gawd. I had no idea you were a pilots fan. No idea. How did I not know this????

the USS rope and grease smudge

I adore you forever for this. I want that shit on an icon.

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
::nods emphatically:: Total, MAJOR Pilots fan. I ran a Pilots-themed BB a few years ago (and apparently that's the only Pilots icon I have active right now- I have GOT to resubscribe to a paid account soon) - and several of my NaNo projects have been Pilots. (Most of which has yet to see the light of day, but a little bit of it is on AO3 now.) (Now all my NaNos seem to belong to C/N and Avengers, go figure. *g*)

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin' + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
How did I miss you in PilotsLand? I live at SASA and beyond_insane for years, and then helped start no_takebacks. Did we meet? Am I losing my mind?

MY LIFE? WHAT IS THIS????

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin&#39; + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
I'm not sure! I was on Beyond_Insane, mostly - [livejournal.com profile] ez_as_pi and I kind of hung out in the angsty smut and baby!fic corner of the fandom, I think...? I know I was a late-comer to things (between seasons two and three).

I don't know that I remember you from over there, either, but I tended to lurk more then than I do now.

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin&#39; + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
OMG! I know Pi!!! I was more on SASA, mostly from '09-'11.

Re: FICLET: down time (rated M for sexin&amp;#39; + gunporn + empty, empty calories)
:) I think I was in the fandom a bit before that, which might be why we seem to have missed one another.

I keep trying to talk her into Assassins, because I would flat out kill to see what she'd do with them!
