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

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. :)

Okay, first things first
Before I jump into the epic meta you've got going on, I'm going to quote two passages from the stories that inspired this series, Bob's small acts of kindness and road to damascus, because part of what I was doing at the end of this section was a direct callback to those fics (and I'm trying to begin the process of tying these stories together).

This is also my way of not being able to take credit for the really great lines--I was really just giving them context.

-------------------------

Excerpt from small acts (from Nat's POV):

You give him your body. He likes to work it slowly, carefully, and you enjoy how it feels, even if it does not mean more to you than an orgasm and an empty sigh.

Clint is flesh and he is warmth and he is blood. Clint does not speak in terms of emotion but he tells you that you are worth more than this and he will always have your back.

“Don’t forget it, Nat.”

You let him kiss you goodnight. You kiss him back. You break apart and exhale with a hiss of relief and sleep soundly through the rest of the night.


------------------------------

Excerpt from road to damascus (from Clint's POV):

You own very little and you do not ask for much but that does not mean that you don’t know how to take.

She gives herself to you. Her body is her gift and you are grateful. You are gentle. You take your time and you take your pleasure and you try to mend all the broken parts with your hard worked hands and your liar’s mouth.

You take her body and her body responds and you are grateful. You want her to know this.

What you say is that she is better than this. What you say is that you have always got her back.

You tell her not to forget it.

She sighs and falls asleep in your arms. She has never had your memory for details.

-----------------------------------


Notice any similarities? It's easy to write good stuff when you have brilliant source material. ;)

Re: Okay, first things first
Had you read that before? It's so unbelievably beautiful. Like really, all I did was connect some dots. I'm just the Rozencrantz and Guildenstern to Bob's Hamlet. ;)

(PM away! I'm working on epic meta response right now.)

Re: Okay, first things first
I've read them, I just have terrible quote-type recall and hadn't made the connections with those particular lines that way. :D
