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)

the avengers, tony + natasha (platonic or romantic), waking up to ash and dust.

Another day, another pile of rubble to dig themselves out from under. Waking up on the edge of disaster, to see the destruction from blown out windows. Tony wakes up on the floor again, bruises from crown to sole. Head pillowed in his arms, the sunlight is far too bright, the day is too far gone. ‘Tasha is standing by the windows or where they would have been, soft jeans and a old Rolling Stones t-shirt - blowing the steam off of a cup of coffee. Pushing to his knees and then standing, she offers a hand, a bracing palm to his back. There is ash in her hair, a swollen lip and a slight smile, a bit of light in her eyes.

“How bad?”

“Pretty bad.”

She hands the coffee over, his eyes adjust and see the vast space laid out beneath them. The space echos and he leans into her. She holds him and blinks into the sunlight.
