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 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!

Sandman, Dream/Death, ice cream - gen, g rated - Dreams of Destruction and Ice Cream
Her ice cream cone is dripping onto the memory of carpet. Dream took it from the dream of a carpet merchant in Bodrum, dreaming of the perfect sale, drinking apple tea with Dean Martin and Kamal Attaturk. Birds circle in the tiny ribbon of sky between the buildings.
“What I don’t get–” She twirls the pendant around her neck, which suddenly isn’t an ankh but a blue glass eye that means evil will never touch her. “– is how you just steal when you could have. I mean, Baskin Robbins has to be better than a dream of ice cream. It’s real. And what’s to stop you getting a dream of some poor British kid; they only have three flavours out there, four if you mix the three together. They call it Neopolitan.”
It can’t be like any Naples that Dream knows. A beautiful city dreaming in the shadow of a mountain of half remembered fire. Not even the ruins of Pompeii and fair Herculaneum will wake them. They sleep as their ancestors – Greek merchants and Roman playboys – slept in the new city on the sea.
And their cousins still sleep beneath the ash, still not dreaming that it might have been better in insidious Baiae. Dream cannot imagine – and that itself is unthinkable – his sister walking the roads of the notorious city. It’s something about her innocence. He knows she wasn’t always like this, but his memory lies…
…just as her memory lies. If that isn’t Delirium’s area… Delirium would have loved Baiae, dancing on the edge of madness… but then, Delerium was beautiful, terrible, worshiped beatifically. Women dancing with snakes, blood hot with wine, enticing her to visit them. Young men doing terrible things in her shades of dreams.
Not Dreams, not nightmares; something unique. Something once so powerful. What had happened? Had humanity become so accustomed to the terrible and dark side of their minds?
Dream picks up a slice of beef from the memory of a young man in the trenches of Ypres and puts it on his plate. The fat looks unappetising, but then, Dream doesn’t really want to eat. He has something to prove to his sister, but isn’t quite sure what.
Is Delirium just the first of them to… What if people stop dreaming, dying, desiring? Where would they go? Would their natures turn in on them, as Delirium’s has? Perhaps it would be better for them to flee like D—
“Come on, Dream, taste this. Live a little.” She’s dancing, standing still in front of him, proffering the cone.
It’s bubblegum strawberry.

I LOVE this! Your Dream is simply spot on, and Death! Just sitting there contemplating flavors of ice cream while Morpheus is thinking too much again. SO MUCH LOVE! Thanks for playing! :o)
