Welcome to this year's Halloween Trick or Treat Prompt Challenge! PLEASE READ HOW TO PLAY BEFORE LOOKING BEHIND THE CUT OR SCROLLING DOWN
How To Play:
Behind the cut is a list of 10 'Trick' prompts and 10 'Treat' prompts. These are mostly simple one or two word prompts. Tricks are darker (eg Blood, Graveyard) and Treats are lighter (eg Apples, Warm Scarf). You can interpret them however you like.
There are lots of ways to select prompts! You can:
- Choose a Trick or Treat, and pick a number from 1 to 10, BEFORE you look at the prompts and then ta-da, that’s your surprise prompt.
- Look at the prompts and then choose one that you'd like to create for or feel inspired by.
- Choose multiple prompts before or after you look at them.
- Or any other way you can think of playing that ends up with you having at least one prompt from the list below. (Ask a friend to pick for you. Roll a dice. Have fun with it!)
- Inspired by a comm discord chat, if you’d like a challenge, you could also ‘reverse’ the prompts and write darker fills for Treats and fluff for Tricks.
Once you have your prompt(s), your challenge is to create a fill. This can be fanfic, art, moodboards, fanvids, podfic... absolutely anything you like.
Then post your fill, in a comment to this post or wherever you like posting. Please comment to this post with: a title, author name, rating, any warnings or 'choose not to warn', and a LINK to your fill or your complete fill. (Similar to promptathon, 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 18:00 GMT Friday 31 October. (The aim is to post the masterlist on Halloween or that weekend.) 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...
If you post any fills, links to fills, or generally any halloween recs you think would relevant to our interests on tumblr, please use the 'clintasha' tag and/or tag![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
be_compromised so we can reblog on the comm tumblr, where we have been busy queuing autumn and halloween themed fun for you for the next few weeks - along with any whumptober and other event things we spot!
Rules:
- The rules of the Comm apply. As a reminder, this includes providing a rating and either 'no warnings apply' / 'choose not to warn' / provide warnings (ie as on AO3) so no one gets an unwanted scare.
- 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.
- 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!
- There's no minimum word count or the art equivalent for creations. For example, fics can be flash fics or three sentences. There's also no maximum - if you feel inspired to write a longer fic or rec multiple things, please feel free. However, this is a no pressure, short challenge!
- You don't need to be a member of the community to take part. You don't need a dreamwidth account to take part, but if you comment anonymously to this post please do include some kind of online handle so we can credit you for your fill.
- There is a comment thread at the top of this post for any questions, comments, and any halloween type recs that you would like to share. You can also @ a mod on the comm discord.
- Have fun!
