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

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: The Way You Say My Name, Rating: PG, Warnings: None, Part: (3/3)
I have a fascination with names and naming, especially when it comes to Natasha <3 I hadn't considering about Clint and names, what with the circus and the army, and I love what you did there. Instant Headcanon :D

I really like the contrasts between them too: when Clint is given a name, Hawkeye, it's something he wants to live up to and struggles to live up to, but for Natasha when she's given a name it's just 'acceptable', something to distinguish her. It's only when she choses a name for herself that she has something to defend. For her it's about choice and becoming, and for Clint it's about acceptance of his original name; for her a possession that she lends to him, for him something that he's always wanted. I love that <3

When it comes to little fics like these, if the prompt allows for it then I like to see both sides of the story. The importance of Natasha's name in this was a little more obvious to me, but when I thought about it I realised that it was entirely possible that Clint attributed a fair amount of significance to his name as well. So I'm glad that both their parts in this work for you!

For her it's about choice and becoming, and for Clint it's about acceptance of his original name; for her a possession that she lends to him, for him something that he's always wanted.
I wish I'd been able to form that thought as clearly as you just did; all the way through writing the fic I was aware of the differences between their thoughts, but for the life of me I couldn't work out exactly what they were. (I'm pretty lucky I was able to define them at all within the fic, actually...) That's exactly it, and I'm so pleased the contrasts fitted the characters and made sense.

Thank you so much for such a lovely, helpful comment! I'm very pleased you enjoyed the fic :)
