Community Gifts Prompt Submissions and FAQ

[cap_ironman_fe]

A year has passed and it is time for Community Gifts again!

Community Gifts prompt submissions are now open and will close on October 31st.
During this time, anyone can anonymously submit Steve/Tony prompts using the submission form.
The list of the submitted prompts will be posted on November 2nd. Any fills that are posted to the 2017 Holiday Exchange collection by December 25th, will be revealed and promoted as part of the exchange collection. These fills are to be considered as gifts to the Cap/IronMan community instead of to any individual.

There is no sign-up required to participate in Community Gifts, and you don’t have to commit to creating a gift in order to submit a prompt. This does mean that, unlike the main exchange, any submitted community gift prompts are not guaranteed to receive a fill.
Once the prompts are revealed on November 2nd, every prompt can be filled by anyone interested.

You don’t have to take part in the main Holiday Exchange to submit or create Community Gifts.

Prompt Rules:
- Text prompts can be either as short as a simple phrase, or as long as two paragraphs.
- Prompts can also be things like links to images, poetry, and music
- Prompts cannot be fanworks.
- You can submit multiple prompts. Each should be a separate submission.
- This is a gift for the Cap-Ironman Community, so the prompts should be about Steve and Tony. In compliance with the community's event rules, non-Steve/Tony relationships or moresomes involving other characters are not allowed as focus of prompts or fills.
- All ratings are welcome for both prompts and fills, but please mark NSFW prompts with [NSFW] before the prompt.
- Only one option can be selected for Canon. There are two options that aren’t specific canons. The “Other” option which is used to write in canons not listed or crossovers, and the “AU” option.

Gift Rules:
- Gifts should be new and created solely for the 2017 Cap-Ironman Community Gifts, and not for any other fandom event.
- Gifts can be fics, art, poetry, music, fanvids, or any other type of fanwork.
- If you are a participant in the exchange, we ask that you complete your exchange gift before creating a community gift.


And most importantly:
No character bashing or negativity. Please - be excellent to each other ;)

Monday: Donate-a-Prompt

[cap_ironman_daily]

It’s still Monday somewhere in the world, right?



Don't we all know this feeling of having too many ideas to write and no time to write them all? Is there this one headcanon that you really want to read but can't write it? Or that frustration when you actually do want to write but you can't come up with anything?

If you have prompts or headcanons that you want to provide for your fellow writers and/or artists, here's the time and place! Anything is welcome, just take note to attach appropriate warnings if applicable.
