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)

Hunger Games, Katniss, He's coming and she knows it / Even if she knows why / Footsteps in the hallway / Girl you haven't got time / You gotta get out / Go far away

DCU, Tim Drake,

I still remember how gallant I felt.
In a suit of armor that I made myself,
Out of tinfoil and milk bottle tops.

why.

This fanmix (http://8tracks.com/defcontwo/to-the-stars-above) made me do it. :P

Your icon is really pretty, btw, and I saw you had some M'Gann ones as well. You have awesome taste in super-ladies. :)

The way you slam your
body into mine reminds
me I’m alive, but monsters
are always hungry,
darling, and they’re only
a few steps behind you

life - crews/reese - pacific rim AU
What we learned as children, that one plus one equals two, we know to be false. One plus one equals one. We even have a word for when you, plus another, equals one. That word is love.

Pacific Rim, Mako/Raleigh I thought that if I let you go, I thought that if I let you breathe, you'd come back. I didn't think you'd make me wait. Make me wait for the world to tilt back on its axis. Because it revolves around you.
