War Stories: A Comment Ficathon

Welcome to the war stories ficathon. Some quick guidelines:

What can I prompt and how do I do so?

Basically whatever you want, as long as there's a core component of a war story therein. Can be pre-, post-, or intra-war as long as it is, at its core, about the war. I'm pretty general with my concept of fictional conflicts, so if you've got a battle or a zombie apocalypse or a revolution, you're good to go. That means you can take a fandom that has a canonical war (like, say, Harry Potter) or you can take a fandom that doesn't have a war (like, say, New Girl) and plop them into a Hunger Games war AU or a zombie apocalypse. Have fun with it. I'm grim about my war stories but you don't have to be.

Prompts should contain the following format:

Fandom (not optional, can be multi-fandom or crossover) - Characters/Ship (optional) - Timeline (optional) - Prompt (which may be a plot, song lyric, quote, etc., but is not optional)

In other words, you can leave a character and/or a ship, and/or a timeline, which are optional, and a prompt, which is not. If you want, you can just leave a set of song lyrics and see what people do with them. If you want, you can just leave a timeline with those lyrics, or a just a character, or all three.

How do I respond?

There are no restrictions in terms of word count, format, tense, point of view, etc. Please title all of your response fics as such in bold at the top of your comment (make sure to close the bold tag!) since LJ took out comment titles because they're dumb:

Title - Character/Ship - Timeline

Presumably, your fics will contain these three things even if they weren't in the prompt. You can also fill prompts that have already been filled. If something speaks to you, as it were, it doesn't matter if there's already fic for it. You can write your own.

How do I promote?

Here's a tumblr post (gen image if you have no idea who Mako Mori is in which case go see Pacific Rim ASAP and thank me later)

Generation kill/pacific rim/zombies/adommy....anybody? Bueller...bueller...???
K I tried...:)

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Homura, I must go on standing, you can't break that which isn't yours//I must go on standing, I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Any (preferably Hunger Games or Harry Potter), any, when the next war comes (because it will)

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Jesse (+ optional Derek and/or Riley, shippy or gen), "Life is essentially a chess game. You have to plan and calculate and. I am so lonely."

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Riley/Jesse, The human heart is a beating muscle// We evolved to build bone cages around,// what kind of person// keeps that on their sleeve?

Tortall, Keladry of Mindelan (+ optional Ilane, her mom), "When I was just a little girl, I asked my mummy what should I be? "Fuck 'should'," she said."

The Avengers, Clint/Natasha, I keep my worst scars hidden (kissing each other's scars or explaining scars to each other, ugh just anything about scars.)

The Charioteer - Ralph Lanyon - Rum, sodomy and the lash

The Charioteer - Ralph Lanyon - Ralph just remembered the end of the Great War.

percy jackson and the olympians, percy/luke;
There’s a niche in his chest
where a heart would fit perfectly
and he thinks if he could just maneuver one into place –
well then, game over.

The Hunger Games, Katniss/Gale, Pacific Rim AU, here in the woods we move as two parts of the same being

Edited 2013-07-22 15:44 (UTC)

THG, Katniss/Gale, Cold War Spies AU,

Tell the truth, no lies
I can take it
Bend your breath, just this once
Run your mouth
I bet I can catch it

Archie, Betty/Reggie zombie apocalypse,

We are the last people standing
At the end of the night
We are the greatest pretenders
In the cold morning light

supernatural, castiel, the war in heaven, if not by faith then by the sword

potter - harry/hermione - little soldier little insect you know war it has no heart
it will kill you in the sunshine or happily in the dark
where kindness is a card game or a bent up cigarette
In the trenches in the hard rain with a bullet and a bet

pacific rim - mako mori/gipsy danger/raleigh becket - make ash and leave the dust behind
lady diamond in the sky wild light glowing bright
to guide me when i fall on tragedy

a song of ice and fire/game of thrones - sansa stark - dig up her bones but leave the soul alone
let her find a way to a better place
broken dreams and silent screams
empty churches with soulless curses
we found a way to escape the day

pacific rim (post war) - mako mori/raleigh becket - and the power's out in the heart of man
take it from your heart put in your hand
what's the plan? what's the plan?

harry potter, ron/hermione, and now it's slipping through my fingers

potter - neville/ginny & luna - i went out to pick a fight with anyone
light a candle for the kids
jesus christ don't keep it hid

Thor, Loki/Sif, I tried so hard to let you go, but some kind of madness is swallowing me whole (aka it's hard to win the war when you're in love with the enemy)

Animorphs, Jake/Tobias, post-war: No way of knowing what any man will do//An ocean of violence between me and you

Pacific Rim, Mako/Raleigh (or gen), shared dreams (see this lexicon entry (http://travisbeacham.tumblr.com/post/56005082876/pacific-rim-lexicon-entry-1-ghost-drifting))

star trek: deep space nine | kira/cretak, post-"inter arma enim silent leges" | my heart's too silent, my voice too loud

harry potter | narcissa/lily | We were watching an exploding sun/Counting sparkles until they were gone
