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!

'Things I'll Never Say', Due South, Fraser/Kowalski, unsaid, PG-ish

Large version (20.33 MB) (http://files.filefront.com/7081123)

Small version (9.12 MB) (http://files.filefront.com/7081264)

Both links lead to FileFront where you will be given the choice of either downloading or streaming the vid. I recommend downloading because of the dramatic difference in quality.

Thank you so much, mostly for putting my mind at rest about how the dialogue/music thing would come across. I know it's usually either brilliant or awful and I was just hoping the comedy would carry it through in this case.

And I had a blast making it! :D This has been a fantastic experience so far. Woo! Yay! Eee! (etc.)

Oh, that was great! I loved the editing in the speech at the beginning, and awwww woobie Fraser. *draws hearts around him and you and the vid*

Woobie Fraser is my favourite Fraser! Well, second only to dark Fraser. Or perhaps comic relief Fraser. Heck, even exposition Fraser rocks my socks. ...I'm sorry, what are we talking about again?

Thank you for the fb. :)

Don't apologise for Fraser. He can't help being emo. *g*

Do you know, I haven't seen a vid of yours I didn't like, and this is no exception. But he *will* say it in the end, you know.

Of course he will! I mean, it's pretty quiet out there in the icy, snowy wilderness and they'll need something to talk about when all the anecdotes and proverbs are exhausted...

Anyway. Ahem. Thank you!

OK, I'm with Ray here. WTF was the point of that ear anecdote?

Lovely use of the corridor scene at the end.

I like to think that these random things that pop out of Fraser's mouth are just his coy Mountie way of saying "I love you". Really, he's just waiting for Ray to work it out. *nods*

Thanks!

Just wanted to say this is kickin' vid. Loved the whole idea of it and the way it was handled with the music. Thanks so much for sharing.

Oh, that's hilarious! And a little sad. Ray's reaction to "marry me today" is adorable. I love the construction of Fraser's speech from all the reactions and Ray taking his time to sum it up. Mostly, the wide range of Ray's reactions to Fraser's insane babbling, hemming, hawing and fidgeting is the best. thing. ever. You've managed to capture the essence of "I love you, I don't get you, you're a freak." The reaction to the ear anecdote made me laugh out loud. An adorable vid! Thanks for sharing it.

By the way, I also really love 9 to 5, Can't Stop This and particulary There's Your Trouble. Yay, vids!

Oh, excellent. :D Thank you so much for this comment. Also, your summing up of Ray's feelings - "I love you, I don't get you, you're a freak." - is pretty much perfect. heh.

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.

Ooh, thank you so very, very much. Especially for mentioning the dialogue parts which - I may have mentioned one or two or a hundred times to various people - I was pretty worried about.

Aaand, a Gladiator vid to 'My Happy Ending'? *is morbidly intrigued* Wow.

Hey there. You already know that I think this video is made of awesome. However, I have noticed that you have not pimped it anywhere. Bad voiceless! May I do the pimping for you to [livejournal.com profile] ds_noticeboard? Pretty please? I’m currently making a very long squee-ish vid rec page of DS vids, are you cool with me reccing several of your vids there? (I’ve just heard that I should probably ask permission before reccing vids. This is why it’s bad to lurk, I just don’t know these kind of rules.)

Uh, sure, you can pimp. Thank you.

And it's so cool that you want to rec something of mine. *big cheesy grin* Thank you. Again.

So, yeah. You have my... blessing... or whatever. heh.

OMG--you totally rock! Oh, Fraser. Oh, Ray.

You've outdone yourself. Fantastic vid work, perfect song choice! Funny and bittersweet and...well, I'm hopeful about it, because even if Fraser will never say those things? Ray will. Ray doesn't hold his tongue all that much. :)

You've made another outstanding vid! \o/
