Mini Promptathon: 2012 Re-Edition  
February has arrived and that means it's time for our annual mini promptathon!

What is this? It’s like the big summer promptathon, only a shorter version - a fun, no-pressure event where you can post zero to as many prompts as you like, zero to as many fills as you like, and join in the squee or just quietly enjoy the fun.

We’re a Clintasha (Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff) community that welcomes ALL THINGS MARVEL. We’d like Clint and/or Natasha to show up in prompt fills somewhere, but what that means is up to you - individually or as friends, lovers, spouses, partners, gen fic, ANYTHING. Yes, that means we also welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes.)

This year’s, by discord vote, the theme is 2012 Re-edition! To set the scene: the year is 2012. Avengers has recently been released, ending MCU Phase One (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger). Those of us who didn’t get the shawarma after credits scene in our countries are frantically searching for it online. We can quote the Clintasha scenes off by heart. Fandom is going mad for the Avengers living in the Tower together or going on road trips. And if you want more marvel characters? Well, that's what comics are for. Helped by Matt Fraction and David Aja, who have just started their Hawkeye comic (issues 1-6 were released in 2012). Outside of Marvel, fuel is added to the fandom with the release of The Bourne Legacy and a Jeremy Renner photoshoot for Empire involving ropes. (If you want a blast from the past or prompt ideas: original 2012 promptathon post with masterlist links and associated posts.)

If you too would like to party like it’s 2012, please read on for the event timeline, how to leave prompts and fills, and a few rules to make sure everyone has a fun time.


TIMELINE:

NOW: the clock has been wound back to 2012, prompting has begun!
12 February: open for fills! (You can also keep prompthing.)
MIDIGHT 12 March: promptathon ends, both fills and prompts, at midnight whatever your timezone. (A masterlist of fills will be posted after.)


HOW TO PLAY

LEAVING PROMPTS

Please post each prompt in a separate comment.

Prompts can be anything – simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases, anything that could inspire a fanwork. Use your imagination. Go wild! You can also re-use prompts from previous events, whether they were filled or not.

You can leave as many prompts as you want. We’re serious. Keep coming back. We want as many prompts as we can possibly get.

In keeping with the theme, aim to prompt like it’s 2012. As in as if nothing MCU or Marvel etc that was created after 2012 exists. (No harm, no foul for any mistakes! Any prompts and fills that contain content post-2012 just means you’ve created an alternate timeline.)


SUBMITTING FILLS

Respond by commenting in a reply to the prompt that you are filling.

The subject line of your comment should be: FILL: title, rating.

The content of your comment should start with:
> Title
> Rating (ie film ratings or AO3 style ratings)
> Any warnings OR you can say ‘choose not to warn’ (think about the AO3 warnings or take a look at our comm guidance if you’re stuck)

You can then post your entire fanwork in the comment if it’s short enough OR you can post your fanwork anywhere else on the internet and post a link to it in your comment.

Following these guidelines 1) makes it easier for people to find your fills during the event as a one-stop shop, and know what they’re clicking on and 2) makes it a LOT easier for your mods to create a masterlist at the end, without missing any of your fills. Thank you!

Consider including a teaser to catch people’s attention! If you’re posting on AO3, we have a ‘Community: be_compromised’ tag. If you’re posting on tumblr, let us know and we’ll reblog on the be_compromised tumblr. We want people to be able to find and appreciate your fills <3

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! Fills do not have to be complete or completed during the promptathon. You can fill as many prompts as you want, and prompts can be filled multiple times by whoever wants to fill them. Zero pressure; all fun.

In keeping with the theme, aim to fill prompt like it’s 2012. As in as if nothing MCU or Marvel etc that was created after 2012 exists. (No harm, no foul for any mistakes! Any prompts and fills that contain content post-2012 just means you’ve created an alternate timeline.)


SQUEE

We have a generic thread for comments, questions, and chat as the first comment thread in this post. We welcome chatting and cheerleading in replies to prompts and fills. (This is where posting each prompt separately and labelling the subject line of fills helps to keep things organised.) We also have a be_compromised discord server for all kinds of discussion if you prefer a chatroom-style space. (Although as above, all prompts and fills will be in this post as a one-stop shop.)

Commenting, cheerleading, and enthusiasm is a huge part of fandom and you are very welcome to join in! Yes, even if you don’t post any prompts or fills.


GENERAL RULES

Our Community Rules apply to this event. To summarise:
> No character or ship bashing. This is a positive fandom space.
> No plagiarism or use of AI.
> Please no RPF (Real Person Fanfiction) or any gossip/speculation about actors’ off-screen non-work lives, as the primary focus of this community is fictional characters.
> Please including a rating for fanworks and a warning OR choose not to warn.
> Be kind and have fun!


If you have any questions about anything please feel free to ask! The easiest way is to use the ‘Questions / Comments / Squee’ thread, which is in the first comment to this post, or ask on the Discord server. Your mods are inkvoices, CloudAltas aka franztastisch, and gsparkle.

Welcome back to 2012. We’re bringing the party to you!

This thread is for any questions, and any general comments or squee not related to prompt theads. There's no such thing as a daft question or too much squee :)

Five times the Avengers think they've figured out whether Hawkeye and the Black Widow are dating, and one time there's no doubt.

Aahhhh!! Brain overload, do you stick with traditional canon and have Tony flirt with Clint like he did Nat, or do you have pepper flirt with Clint and make Tony jealous??
I'm going to enjoy figuring it out.
And Natasha being called up to take out Thor!?!? seriously IV, I have to go to bed. What are you doing to me???

Everyone moving into Avengers Tower ends up including Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis. Clint and Darcy are friends of a sort after New Mexico. On realising that Darcy could be a weak spot for her partner, Natasha decides to train Darcy up. In her own unique way?

FILL: How to (Not) Date a Superhero - PG
"Aww, we're out of poptarts," Clint whined as he peered into the kitchen cabinet.

Darcy eyed him blearily from where she hovered by Stark's fancy coffee maker, waiting for it to spit out her triple espresso. She shared Clint's disappointment, but she had bigger issues to deal with right now. Like the fact that Natasha had asked her (and asked was a pretty nice way of putting it - it had been more of a demand than a request) to join her in the gym that morning for a self-defense training session. The first of several, Natasha assured her.

Clint peered at her with narrowed eyes. "You don't have anything to do with this lack of breakfast nirvana, do you?"

"Nope," she said, shaking her head. "I had nothing to do with it. But Thor is addicted to those things - and when I say addicted, I don't mean like you and I are addicted. I mean I've seen him down four twin pack in a row."

"Guess we'll just have to get more." Clint said, patting down his pockets and pulling out his wallet to check for cash. "Wanna make a bodega run with me?"

"Sorry, can't. I have to be down in the gym in a few minutes. Natasha signed me up for training lessons."

That got a surprised look out of Clint and Darcy shrugged.

"Yeah, I know, but she made a really good point about Jane and I living with a bunch of superheroes and how we should probably know a few things. Just in case." She eyed the slower than slow espresso machine and frowned. "I just wish she'd have scheduled it a little later in the morning."

(the rest at AO3)

Since the World Security Council used SHIELD to try to NUKE NEW YORK the Avengers decide to go independent. How does that work out? Maybe they decide they need a larger roster and run some kind of recruitment campaign? (Opportunity to include comics characters!) Maybe there's a legal issue?

First, aliens broke his storefront window. Then Tony Stark waltzed in with his strange friends, right past the "closed" sign, demanding enough food for a small army. Mr. Al-Habibi doesn't know whether to laugh or cry; his wife just wonders whether it would be impolite to hand over some deodorant sticks with the shawarma.

WHY did Nat get sent to get Banner in Avengers?

Did Fury think Bruce/the Hulk would see her as less of a threat, or she could make herself seem unthreatening? Did she spy on his team at Culver so is familiar with him or his work? Was she part of a team trying to track him down back in the day?
(Reply) (Link)
inkvoices[personal profile] inkvoices on February 8th, 2024 12:41 pm (UTC)
Another role switching idea - what if it was someone else and not Nat who fell with Bruce after the spear scene? So Nat was busy and someone else was free when Fury put the call out that they needed someone to face off with brainwashed!Clint. Would someone else be able to take Clint down, and how, and would it work the same way? How would Clint and Nat feel about someone else being the one to 'bring Clint back' as it were?
firlalaith[personal profile] firlalaith on February 9th, 2024 12:33 am (UTC)
