Claims Guidelines and Master Prompt List
Welcome to the claims phase!
Claims will open on this post at 11:55pm Eastern Daylight Time (see what time it is in your timezone here) on April 29, and will remain open until June 23, one week from the posting deadline.
Please review the rules here before you make your claims, and make sure you are comfortable with them.
Each prompt may be claimed once for art, and once for fic; once a prompt has been claimed both ways it will be struck out and is no longer available for future claims. (If someone drops a claim, the list will be edited to note that, also.) Prompts are sorted by fandom, with crossover prompts listed at the end.
Note that some prompts may contain spoilers -- any time when this was clearly the case, we have put the prompt details in white text, which you can highlight to make them visible.
You may claim up to four prompts -- unless you defaulted in a previous round, in which case you may claim two (but anyone, whether you defaulted previously or not, may come back and claim another prompt for each piece you finish and post before the deadline).
Please mention in your comment whether you are claiming for art or fic.
Have fun, and good luck!

Each prompt may be claimed once for art, and once for fic; once a prompt has been claimed both ways it will be struck out and is no longer available for future claims. (If someone drops a claim, the list will be edited to note that, also.) Prompts are sorted by fandom, with crossover prompts listed at the end.
Note that some prompts may contain spoilers -- any time when this was clearly the case, we have put the prompt details in white text, which you can highlight to make them visible.
You may claim up to four prompts -- unless you defaulted in a previous round, in which case you may claim two (but anyone, whether you defaulted previously or not, may come back and claim another prompt for each piece you finish and post before the deadline).
Please mention in your comment whether you are claiming for art or fic.
Have fun, and good luck!

Lien/Leona - combat,challenge - "This how to fight, little girl!"
Athena/Yuri - memory - I'm interested in something a bit different here. In this fic, I'd like to see what happens when Athena discovers, through her psychic powers, that one of her female competitors has developed a crush on her--before said competitor even realizes it herself. Being Athena, I don't expect her to fall right into another woman's (or man's) arms...but she should at least find herself intrigued by the notion, just to make things interesting. ~_^ I was picturing Yuri as the woman in question, but if you're not a fan, replacements are welcome. Just avoid Xiangfei and Hinako, please; I'm...not very fond of either of them.
