Master List, Part 2 now with more delicious everything!


**Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] rayruzfor the beautiful graphic.


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

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: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
When I have the time I comment like woah on the things that I like. For this fic there was never any question but that I would MAKE the time. It's really, really brilliant. To take a scenario that's about death, murder, and assassination and to make that hilarious - actually hilarious and not just kind of funny - whilst still holding true to the scenario and the characters...wow and woah and flailing all over the place :D

'above average' is such an unstatement LOL and I'm a Brit, so our humour tends to be like that, understanding and depreciating ourselves and everything else. I loved it. It was absolutely something I could see a secret agent type person saying and yet I'd never thought of them saying it and now, forever, in my head this is what secret agent types say of the best in the business - 'y'know, they're kind of above average' haha. And today's obession with risk assessments combined with what I am convinced is a shed-load of paperwork at SHIELD, just, 'of course the risk assessment is gonna be high! She killed 27 people with a nail file, just, YES *cracks up laughing again*.

*looks up at you somewhat dazed* Just don't grope me and we'll be fine ;)

*twirls you*

Re: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
No groping, I swear. Hands where you can see them at all times! :)

Seriously though... gah and squee!!! You're way too kind but I'm so excited that you enjoyed this so much. I am grinning like crazy over here :D and as a fellow Commonwealth person (Australian, ahoy) I sooo hear you on the understated humour thing - I know we can be loud, but we definitely share your love of a dry wit. I'm so glad it actually reads like that. And I totally agree - the categories of agent quality in my head go something like: passable, acceptable, fair, above average :D Maybe it's a Bond thing... (speaking of which, you guys are doing an awesome job on the Olympics, v impressive opening ceremony) And because of COURSE there would be mountains of paperwork. I actually really love the idea of the mundane bits behind the superhero shenannigans, it's just inherently funny in my head, glad it is in yours too :D

Ok, I'm being obnoxious. I'm shushing now :) but thankyou, so much. And while I'm thanking you for things, thankyou for the awesome icons too - very much appreciated! :)

Lol'ing forever over here. don't mind me.

Ok, I know I'm like creepy comment-crashing girl, but in my defense, since I did the original post, all the comments end up in my inbox. And well, sometimes people just say epic funny shit and it deserves to be commented on. So there. ;)

Re: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
Yay! Lunchtime counts! You know what they say... it's always LJ time somewhere.

Give me several-ish hours. And then you might be sorry that I did.....

Re: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
No worries. I've got to get some sleep. Give me a few hours as well and then I SHALL BE READY FOR ALL THE FEELS.

Re: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
Maybe it's a Bond thing... Good point. Especially the newest run of films. I think the highest praise Dench's M would heap on Bond would be something like, 'well at least he got the job done. Finallly. Thank God.' Heh.

I actually really love the idea of the mundane bits behind the superhero shenannigans Yes, me too! It's like all the things that we can relate too, but then twisted up or even more of a minefield when superheroes are thrown into the mix. Like in the Amazing Spider Man - I don't want to spoil you, so I'll just say 'the eggs'! SHIELD and paperwork, yep, huge hilarity. Have you seen the memo's from Fury on tumblr? HILARITY.

I went in prepared to take the mick out of the opening ceremony, but I think Boyle did a good job and actually I really enjoyed it. To be fair, he had me with children's literature *grins*. And I'm glad you like the icons, thank you! :D

Obnoxious? Bwhaha, hello person who has not known me very long: I can have LOOONNNG comment conversations. They are FUN :D But you're gonna have to excuse me whilst I hunt down all other fic that you've written and friend you and stalk you...with absolutely no groping, it'll all be above board, honest ;)

Re: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
Aaaand friends you right back! :) Will go stalking myself soon hehe I'm sorry there's not much of me to stalk yet - I'm very new. And phew, I do sometimes feel like I overcomment over here.... but yay!! Comments away!!!!

Have you seen the memo's from Fury on tumblr?
....no! But I must see them!!!... tumblr intimidates me, I don't understand how it works! :S any links/crumbs you could throw my way?

As for the Olympics - from here, it looks like you guys are going through the same series of emotions that we all did when it was in Sydney: WOO WE GOT THE OLYMPICS; shit it's a really long way away isn't it; holy crap how much money are we spending on this thing?; ok, this organising committee is filled with incompetent bastards; no really, how much money are we spending on this you guys?; is anything going to be finished cos this could be embarrassing; tickets cost HOW MUCH?? yeah I'm not even going to bother; they're serously doing a national tour with the flame? c'mon, Hitler invented that, who gives a crap about--; OH MY GOD THIS TORCH RELAY IS GIVING ME FEELINGS!!!; I MUST BUY ALL THE TICKETS NOW!!; OH MY NATION LOOK AT THIS OPENING CEREMONY, IT IS CHEESY BUT IT IS AWESOME AND I AM SO PROUD!!!; FUCK YEAH WE'RE WINNING MEDALS NOOOOOW BITCHES!!!!; oh... it's over.; NO WAIT!! PARALYMPICS FTW!!!!! :D :D :D

Wow... that gag kinda got away from me there :) But hey, it's going great, you guys should be proud! Enjoy it!

Re: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
Aww, you're new? *gives you 'welcome to the crazy part of the internets' cookies* Seriously, can't tell from you're writing :D You picked a fandom that's pretty new too, so you're in at the start - that's always less intimidating - and you definitely picked a friendly fandom to hang your first hat in. Everyone here is lovely. Stalk them all! Comment all over the show! And have lots of fun :D

I LOVE long comment conversations. I love watching ideas and stories getting born in them, like watching clouds form. Thing of beauty. I'm always nervous about comment-rambling to people I don't know yet *grins* but no one has ever said 'sheesh, you couldn't have used fewer words?' so I'm getting better at it. Rambling Commenters Unite!

I'm not actually on tumblr either - there are too many pretty pictures, too likely to get addicted *grins* - but I dive in every so often. memos from Fury is what it says in the title and cracks me up often. You can follow on twitter to see when it updates, which is often. Other than that, check the recs tags for this comm. A few of us rec things from tumblr. There's a Clint/Natasha tumblr comm thingy and some folks that are on [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised have tumblrs. And I like fuckyeahblackwidow for feminism and Black Widow wonderfulness. Also on the SHIELD and paperwork front, if you don't mind Clint/Coulson with Clint and Natasha being fantastic friends try SHEILD Has Paperwork For Everything which works as a stand alone (and then check out everything by scifigrl47 because their a brilliant writer, full of hilarity and feels.)

Um, yeah, I have a reccing problem as well as a comment problem *grins*.

LOL that is EXACTLY how our Olympic journey has gone :D :D :D Apart from the Torch relay bit where a bunch of us where sat watching the news going 'but with all the crazy rain we have right now, how the hell is this thing staying lit?!'

Re: FIC: Agent Barton's Strictly Professional Interest (Part 4/4)
LIIIiiiiiinks!! **grabby hands** thankyou! Those memos are hysterical... And, because too much commenting is never enough:

Thanks for the crazy internet cookies! My lj fandom adventures just predate Avengers. It's all Bee's fault, of course ;) I finally got around to watching BSG in January, and fell hook, line and sinker for pilots. And when it finished I was driven to the interwebs in search of solace - and I found Bee! ...who then pulled me kicking and screaming (except there was no kicking or screaming) over to Avengers/Assassins. I am incredibly grateful to have such a friendly initiation fandom! Can't help but feel I have found my people. ;) You're very kind re: teh writing. Actually, I was never going to write anything. But then I was never going to sign up for lj, comment on fanfic, or indeed even read fanfic in the first place. Slippery slope is slippery... and also a bloody fun ride! :D

(Oh and re: the flame? If I can quote Celine Dion from the Atlanta '96 opener: 'it is the power of the dream that brings [the flame] here [still alight].' #olympicsnerd #pointlesshastagging)
