Welcome to the Trick or Treat Prompt Challenge!
Read on for how to take part in a bit of no-pressure, Halloween themed, prompt fun...
How To Play:
- Choose 'Trick' or 'Treat' and pick a number from 1 to 10.
- Look behind the cut to see the prompt list and reveal which one you've chosen! These are simple one or two word prompts. Tricks lean towards being darker (eg Blood, Ghost) and Treats will be lighter (eg Harvest, Apple) but you can interpret them however you like. Prompts aim to be different to previous years.
- Create something to fill the prompt OR rec something that fills the prompt. This can be fanfic, art, moodboards, fanvids, podfic... absolutely anything you like.
- Comment to this post with at least: a title, author/creator, rating, any warnings/ 'choose not to warn', and a link. Or you can post fanfics or creations directly into the comment. (This is so people know what they're clicking on and so we can create a masterlist at the end!)
- You can post your fills any time from now until midnight (whatever your timezone) on Tuesday 31 October. If you've not filled your prompt by then, Halloween has gone, whoosh, don't worry about it because Secret Santa is around the corner...
Rules:
- We're a community for fans of Clint Barton aka Hawkeye and Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, individually as well as paired together as friends, partners, lovers, spouses, or any combination. For this challenge we welcome all things Marvel, including other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes), although we'd ask for Clint or Natasha to feature in there somewhere.
- If you like a challenge, try not to peek at the prompts behind the cut! But if you're more comfortable looking, feel free to browse before you choose a prompt :)
- You can choose and fill as many tricks and treats as you like, or just stick with one. Multiple people can choose the same prompt/s. You can pick a Trick AND a Treat and combine them in one prompt if you like, or write one for each. You can combine multiple prompts. You can write just one prompt, or you can complete one and then come back for more. Whatever you choose!
- The rules of the Comm apply. As a reminder, this includes an ask to please provie a rating and either 'no warnings apply' / 'choose not to warn' / provide warnings (ie as on AO3) so no one gets an unwanted scare.
- There's no minimum word count or the art equivalent for creations. For example, fics can be flash fics or three setences. There's also no maxium - if you feel inspired to write a longer fic or rec multiple things, please feel free. However, this is a no pressure, short challenge!
- Recs can include self recs.
- You don't need to be a member of the community to take part.
- There is a comment thread at the top of this post for any questions, comments, and squee.
- Have fun!
