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!

This was really good. I love that you made Caroline the storyteller in the Fraser family - it makes sense he'd get his love for Inuit culture from her, since Bob wasn't around to impart the lore and his grandparents probably focused on the European canon. I also really liked that Fraser envies Ray his ability to "sense boundaries by instinct and dance along them with grace." Beautifully written. That last paragraph was great, too.

Aaaaand now I need to go do that beta for you ;-)

Good stuff here - it was very hot and a little angsty, and it was great to see how the mechanics of Duck's closeted life in high school are expressed when he's around boys he desires. Because holy fuck, Buddy would have been *irresistable* in high school. So would Duck, of course (wee Callum!) but I like the way you made Buddy a focus of desire. Terrific.

Dan frowned at the ground. Morning dew and ocean spray glistened on the grass and he didn't want to get his pants wet. Duck told him to wait and jogged the short trek back to his truck. He returned with a blanket, threadbare and faded, but good enough. They spread it out and sat down, huddling slightly so they'd both fit but touching only where Dan rested a hand on top of Duck's. They watched the sun pull free from the horizon and rise high into the sky, breaking the silence only to point out ships passing in the distance.

Oh, I so loved that, and I've now watched it four times over, making little squealing noises so that my SO came into the room, looked at me, and shook his head. Ahem, on to the hopefully more coherent part of this.

You totally succeeded with the spoken parts, they illustrated perfectly Fraser's sheer Fraser-ness. And I have to second the comment about Ray's expression after the "marry me today"-line. In the turning-big-and-manly-men-into-teenage-girls genre, it sort of reminded me of the Gladiator vid "My Happy Ending", also with Avril Lavigne, though that's more a humorous vid for me, while this one was touching.

Back to Basics, Twitch City, Curtis/Newbie, shootout, R

[identity profile] quiesce.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Curtis usually isn't one for pondering the big questions in life. What's the point in wondering how you got from there to here when 'there' is one side of the couch and 'here' is the other? On this particular occasion, though, watching Newbie use his foot to clear an open spot on the floor, place a Sharpie-drawn picture of a television in the clearing, then start to pull down his pants, Curtis asks himself how exactly he got here.

Pause. Rewind. Play.

He reviews the footage in his head. Newbie came over. Newbie produced a copy of one of the three The Littlest Hobo episodes that Curtis had never managed to see before. They watched the episode. Newbie challenged Curtis to a shootout. Newbie shoved some tapes out of the way, set a piece of paper on the floor, and started unbuckling his belt.

"What shootout rules are we playing by, exactly?" Curtis wishes, not for the first time, that Newbie came with closed captioning.

Newbie says something about science and technology getting in the way of art and needing to get back to basics. Curtis nods because Newbie sounds like he knows what he's talking about and, besides, Rex said something similar eight episodes ago. Newbie says that in its purest form, a shootout isn't about distance or angles of reflection; it's about precision and accuracy. And that even something that feels like a natural extension to them -- like a remote control -- can't match the simplicity of a shootout where it's nothing but you and the target.

It does make sense. As much as his hand feels like it was built to hold a remote control, Curtis can't deny the fact that his dick makes an even better fit.

All through his explanation, Newbie had been slowly pumping away and he now has a clear head start. Curtis gets up off the couch and walks around to the other side of the paper. He notes the carefully drawn bull's-eye on the bottom right corner of the television, unzips his jeans and slips a hand into his briefs.

This is awesome in a way that is completely indescribable. It. Just. Is.

I would have to quote the whole thing back at you and I still wouldn't be any closer to describing it.

I'm glad you liked it. Book is really hard to pin down (even in my own head), so I'm pretty gleeful that you got something out of this.

This idea kind of blew up to unmanageable sizes, so some of the bits I wanted to emphasize, well, I was totally worried about them being lost in this mini version. It makes me very squeeful that that bit wasn't lost; at least to someone.

I TOTALLY would catch canon, if I could find it. My future stepfather said he might have seen it on the channel scrolly thing, so I'm keep sharp eyes out.

I am so glad that someone took the time to test this empirically. It's always something I've wondered. What is the proper length of time to storm? How do you know when you've overstormed? Is there even such a thing? hee

Re: Stormy Weather, Sports Night, Dan/Casey, rain, PG

[personal profile] catwalksalone 2007-04-02 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, overstorming is very much a thing - it's particularlyl a rookie mistake. Overstorming is missing the brief window of return when you don't look ridiculous and the person from whom you've stormed is so pleased that you're back that they apologise even if it's you in the wrong. Once that's gone your into rolling-eye territory and then it's all downhill from there. ^_^
