Let the Promptathon Begin!

To join the battle, all you need to do is pick a prompt from below (any prompt, even if it's your own) and write/vid/manip/icon/draw/whatever the most creative bit of whatever you can create! And remember - PLEASE feel free to vid or icon or manip or do something non-written. We love ALL kinds of creative output equally!

When you've written/painted/made it, paste it into the comments here. Once you've done that, you can post it wherever else you want.

You may enter as many times as you like, so long as each entry is completely separate (not a series of linked pieces). Also, please do not link to old work - this should be something new, produced for the challenge, based on one of the prompts.

THE RULES

1. It must fit in one comment, so the limit is 4,300 characters (there's no minimum limit). It can be part of a longer piece that you may post elsewhere, as long as it's something new and based on one of the prompts, but all we want here is the part that you are most proud of. If you make art, if it's larger than 350 px wide, please use a thumbnail linking directly to the piece (directly to the artwork, not a post or site). The thumbnail can be up to 350 px wide, and 300 px high, and should include as much of the art as possible. If it is a vidlet or something else requiring dowloading, like a fanmix, please post the link to where we can download. Feel free to post a teaser image, but please confine yourself to the artwork preview rules.

2. Important! Please use the subject line of your comment to identify the snippet, like so: Title, prompt, rating (i.e. Fandom, Pairing, prompt word, rating system of your choice). For example, I might write: "Staying Awake, One Tree Hill, Lucas/Nathan, rain, R", or "The Sun Has Gone Down, Crossover, Torchwood/Stargate Atlantis, Jack/John, under fire, for all ages".

3. You have one week – the post will close for new entries next Sunday, April 1, at midnight eastern standard time. PLEASE be certain to check the World Time Clock to verify the deadline time in your area.

4. Don't forget that these prompts are only written as character one/character two for convience, NOT because of any requirement to make it a relationship story! Gen and friend are very welcome here. They can be interpreted in ANY WAY, so just imagine the FUN possiblities. You can take one prompt and write it, draw it, icon it, fanmix it, AND vid it. (Although if you have the time to do all of that in the week that these prompts are open, I might just have to kill myself out of jealousy :o) And you can use the characters in a different way each time. Don't be afraid to think outside the box!

5. Please don't post anything but your creations or feedback/feedback replies (to individual stories) here. If you've got any questions or comments, please leave them on this post right here, NOT on this post that you are currently reading. We'd like to keep this purely for the creative output (and feedback on the creations - readers/voyeurs, please do show the writers/artists much love for their creative offerings).

The prompts are right here
Thanks SO much to [livejournal.com profile] sageness for coding and lending hosting space on her site!


The prompts using only one character were listed first, followed by the prompts for more than one character. ALL crossovers are under both fandoms, so you don't need to worry about looking in multiple places for your crossovers - those listed under Smallville are the same listed under Supernatural, if you are looking for prompts for a Smallville/Supernatural crossover.

Finally! Warning: ALL ratings are acceptable here, from the things that you would show your aged grandmother, all the way up to to the things that would make a sailor blush. Use your own discretion, and please label your stories, art, and other creative output accordingly.

Thank you kindly!

I love how you took such simple images and turned them.

This made me so happy when I first read it and I've taken to re-reading it a bit. Dief, my reason for watching due South.

Re: To The Right, Firefly, Mal/River, dark and bright, G

[identity profile] bipagan.livejournal.com 2007-04-01 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It makes you want to get into River's mind and see what's going on in there. Maybe she's conversing with a certain brilliant pilot.

I only watched the show periodically through the beginning. The interaction between those 2 characters was fabulous and you brought it through well.

Ouch. Nicely done.

Re: Atlantean Morning Tea, Stargate: Atlantis, Teyla, tea, G

[identity profile] cerriddwen.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I am so glad you liked it. Writing Teyla can be... challenging, and I'm never really sure how it turns out. But it was really important to me to write something that makes Teyla happy in the end, because of her isolation in canon. Thanks!

Re: Logic, Gilmore Girls, Paris/Rory, class

[identity profile] cerriddwen.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

Heh. Poor Mark.

Thanks, Fraser can be so repressed sometimes.

I'm so glad you liked it. The world needs more stream-of-morning-consciousness.

I'm glad I caused smiling. The idea just totally mauled me the second I looked at the prompt.

Thanks!

YAY! The response to this one has totally made me happy inside, and I am overjoyed it got multiple readings. *hearts*

[identity profile] cerriddwen.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
*snerk* bicircular. I love how Gene's waffling about being gay WHILE having gay sex, but doesn't seem to really be that freaked out. Sam's responses hit the right level of snark for me. I loved this(now I just wish I could see more of the canon than the pilot)

Re: Sincerely Yours, Dan/Casey, letters, PG

[identity profile] kyriacarlisle.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I like this a lot; it's such a vivid scene that in my head I can see how it would be filmed.

Re: On Guard, due South, Diefenbaker, undercover, G

[identity profile] kyriacarlisle.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I wish I knew due South better (or at all), but even with almost no background, I'm sitting here saying, "But that's a fantastic idea!"

Re: [art] Stargate Atlantis: Teyla & John, Stickfighting. PG.

[identity profile] kyriacarlisle.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Nice! I like Teyla's expression: "I kick so much ass I don't even need my full attention on this right now."

Re: Bar Scene, SG-1 Sam/Vala, Possession, PG13

[identity profile] kyriacarlisle.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I like this! It's so rare to see these two really relaxing their guards.

(And, yeah, Vala would be all over the concept of room service.)

When he's alive (i.e. after coffee sweetened with m&m's)

Now there's a sentiment I can relate to (well, maybe not the M&Ms).

This line is lovely: Ray shuts the door, world on the outside, Ray and Fraser on the inside.

Re: Galut, Firefly, Mal/Sheppard Book, Psalm 137, G

[identity profile] kyriacarlisle.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. There are so many interesting things about Book in this that I keep rereading it just to be satisfied by how much is said in so few words.

Re: Atlantean Morning Tea, Stargate: Atlantis, Teyla, tea, G

[identity profile] kyriacarlisle.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I like the idea of Teyla and Miko taking the time to meld their tea ceremonies into something new. And this phrase is gorgeous: reclaiming the beat between one breath and the next.

Woah. This is unsettling and powerful. Thanks.
