!!THE PROMPTATHON IS NOW CLOSED!!

GUYS GUYS IT’S TIME FOR THE SUMMER PROMPTATHON.


(image modified from fanart by sketchbuggy)

Can you believe this is our tenth summer promptathon??? Nope! Me neither!

 

TIMELINE

TODAY: Prompting starts! GO, GO, GO

SUNDAY 8th AUGUST: We open for fills! (You can also continue prompting)

MIDNIGHT SUNDAY 26th SEPTEMBER: Promptathon, both prompts and fills, ends at midnight in whatever your timezone is. THE PROMPTATHON IS NOW CLOSED

HOW PROMPTATHON 2021 WORKS

> Step One: Leave Prompts

Prompts can be anything – simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases, anything that inspires a fanwork. Use your imagination. Go wild!

We welcome ALL THINGS MARVEL, though we ask that Clint and/or Natasha turn up in there somewhere, individually or as friends, lovers, spouses, partners, in gen fic, ANYTHING. That means we do welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes).

Leave as many prompts as you want. We’re serious. Keep coming back. We want as many prompts as we can possibly get. Just make sure each prompt is in a separate comment.

Also please warn if your prompts contain spoilers/speculation relating to Black Widow 2021 and/or Hawkeye TV.

> Step Two: Squee

Been wanting to jump into the fandom but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. Newbie or a lurker? Here’s the perfect opportunity to say hello! Promptathon is a fun, no-pressure environment. If all you want to do is post prompts and share in the squee, you’re more than welcome! And by squee we mean chatting in the chat thread, replying to prompts to chat about prompts, and just lots of excitement all over the place.

For additional squee, there is also the be_compromised Discord Server, where you can chat about Promptathon (or anything else) in a more chatroom-style place. Click here for an invite.

> Step Three: submit fanworks like there’s no tomorrow!

The usual Community Rules apply. There’s no length requirement on fanworks submitted. You can create drabbles or epics, vids, art, fanmixes, anything at all; it’s just all about getting creative! You can fill as many prompts as you want, and prompts can be filled multiple times by whoever wants to fill them.

Please warn if your fills contain spoilers/speculation relating to Black Widow 2021 and/or Hawkeye TV.


HOW TO POST FILLS

  1. Respond in a comment to the prompt you are filling. Please post the entire work in the comment if it's short enough OR post a link, and consider posting the first section as a teaser. Please don't post works directly to the comm - we’re all about one-stop shopping, so keep everything in this main promptathon post. We'll do a masterlist of fills at the end.
  2. Label your fill/comment in the subject line with 'FILL', your title, and a rating. Example: FILL: 5 Times Clint and Natasha Were Awesome (PG). When filling in the subject line, you may need to view the comm in its original style (if you don't already). Just make sure you can see a subject line when responding with your submission. This makes it A LOT easier for us to make that masterlist and for people to spot your fills.
  3. Make sure to include a rating and warnings OR 'choose not to warn' at the start of your fill, as per the comm rules. Help us out and make sure folks know what they're clicking on :)
  4. Please put anything NSFW behind a cut or link.
  5. And once again, because this is a thing we can now say (!); please warn for Black Widow 2021 film spoilers and for Hawkeye TV spoilers! Not everyone has Disney+/can get to the cinema.

If you have any questions about anything please feel free to ask! We have a questions thread as the first comment to this post, though you can also PM a mod or ask on the Discord server.

OKAY THEN BEST BAR EVER, LET’S GET PROMPTING!

Kind of a mixed bag because... OMG THE PRESSURE AND I WANT TO BUT CAN I MANAGE IT AND OMG NOT ENOUGH TIME!

But for now, I'm just relishing in the squee. I'll worry about the rest in late August.

How does below the cut work on here? I'm still not sure if I'm making it work 😅
franztastisch[personal profile] franztastisch on August 3rd, 2021 06:04 pm (UTC)
Hey! It should be
[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<cut*>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Hey! It should be <cut*>TEXT UNDER CUT HERE</cut*> but removing the *. It does look like it's not supported in comments though, only on actual journal entries. Sorry!

Hi, another option is to post the main fic or fanwork on another platform, like on AO3, and then post your warnings, spioiler warnings etc in a prompt reply with a link. So the 'cut' is the link.

Or you can 'white out' text to avoid spoilers like here.

Hope this helps :)

Can we do multiple prompts and can we post before deadline??
cassie[personal profile] kiss_me_cassie on August 7th, 2021 10:35 pm (UTC)
Ooh ooh! I know the answer to ths!

You can do as many prompts as you want! You can also do a prompt someone else has already filled! You can even do your own! GO WILD with fills. The more the merrier. *g*

You can post fills at any point during the posting period. (So like... now? maybe? through the Sept deadline.)
inkvoices[personal profile] inkvoices on August 8th, 2021 04:02 pm (UTC)
You can post as many fills to as many prompts as you like!

And, as per the timeline, it is now SUNDAY 8 AUGUST and therefore fills are OPEN!!! You can also continue prompting :)
