MOCK!PROMPTING CAN COMMENCE
IT'S OVER. BACK AWAY SLOWLY FROM THE PROMPTS.
Welcome, to Mini Challenge SIX - this week brought to you in Fic Battle flavour.
Featuring Authors:
a_g_doren, bluemagicrose , ella_rose88, fabyenn, hope27, livviedoo , lostinlace, mara93, misspopuri, mustbethursday3, myrddinwylt, railise, rainbow_connec, rockin_overmate, rubberglue, sidhe_faerie, wickedvampirate.
You can find detailed guidelines here, and the answers to some obvious questions - here.
But, here's the simplified version of the rules:
Awesome Authors:
+ To begin, start a thread for yourself by posting your ( sign up) form, filled in with your writing preferences to this post.
+ As a rule, you do need to FILL the first four (4) prompts you receive IN THE ORDER YOU RECEIVE THEM.
+ After those four are posted, you're free to FILL any prompts you've been given, in any order that suits you.
+ This Challenge has Themes, they are: Record, Astronaut, Teammates, Reunion, and Stockholm Syndrome. You don't have to use them all, you just have to use something of them to influence your ficlets - even a mention of a word is fine (if you don't want it to be a huge subject).
+ You can prompt other Authors (as long as you follow the 1 Active prompt, per Author rule).
+ The Minimum word limit for a Fill is 200 words. There is no Maximum. (Word counter #1, Word counter #2, Word counter #3)
Perfect Prompters:
+ You must wait for an Author to start their thread before you can prompt.
+ Prompters are only allowed one (1) 'active' prompt, per Author, at a time. ('Active' meaning UNFILLED)
+ Your prompts should all be in reply to an Author's starting comment - ie, their sign up form.
+ You MUST read the Author's fic preferences carefully, and try not to burden them with a prompt they would feel uncomfortable filling.
+ You don't have to prompt with any of the Challenge Themes in mind. It's the Author's job to use those.
+ TEXT PROMPTS ARE ALL WE'RE ACCEPTING.
+ Once you post a prompt, try not to edit it - an Author could start working on a Fill only to return to find that you've changed the direction of the prompt O_O
YOU MAY SQUEE AT FILLS/THANK EACH OTHER BUT PLEASE REMEMBER, ONLY AN AUTHOR MAY REPLY TO A PROMPT. PROMPTS ARE SACRED.
(Please Note: the first comment of this post is a Question/Concern thread - if you need anything clarified.)

Banners will be awarded to:
The WINNER - the Author who Fills the most prompts.
The SURVIVORS - the Authors who conquer ALL their prompts, but sadly don't beat the Winner's number of Fills.
&
The LUCKIEST PROMPTER - the person who singlehandedly has more of their Prompts written during the challenge than any other person.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Prompt format should follow something along the lines of:
Any/Any, [prompt]
Any/[specific character], [prompt]
[specific character]/[specific character], [prompt]
[specific character] & [specific character], [prompt]
ie.
Any/Any, Salad spoon of doom.
Any/Morgana, dance like nobody's watching.
OT4, Modern!Au, At someone's anniversary dinner, there's a surprise announcement that changes everything.
Arthur/Gwen, Cruiseship!Au - one conga line and a margarita too many.
Gwaine/Merlin, OUAT!Au, Gwaine!Huntsman and PrinceCharming!Merlin start to remember…
Gwen & Hunith, Canon, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear -Emerson
Arthur/Gwen/Merlin, "Shut up for five minutes and let me think."
Gwen & Merlin & Morgana, Topping the nation's music charts.
Any Knights, Three times they got locked in.
+
Characters names that I can be bothered writing (more here): Agravaine, Alice, Arthur, Balinor, Catrina, Cedric/Cornelius Sigan (S2 Conman/Wizard), Cenred, Elena, Elyan, The Fisher King, Freya, Gaius, Geoffrey, Gorlois, The Great Dragon, Grunhilda, Gwen, Gwaine, Hunith, Lancelot, Leon, Merlin, Mordred, Morgana, Morgause, Myror, Nimueh, Percival, Sophia, Tom (Gwen's dad), Tristan de Bois, Uther, Valiant, Vivian, Vivienne (Morg's mum), Will (Merlin's former BFF), William of Daira (S2), and Ygraine.
LASTLY, REMEMBER - Because this is an AG Comm, Arthur and Gwen can only be in a 'romantic' relationship with each other. But this doesn't exclude triangles/threesomes/moresomes or mentions of past relationships - they're fine, as long as AG isn't rubbished in the process.
