Welcome to the seventy-ninth Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, March 16-Sunday, March 17. The theme is "Heroism."


Crowdfunding Creative Jam

Everyone is eligible to post prompts, which may be words or phrases, titles, images, etc. Prompters may request a specific creator, but everyone else may still use that prompt if they wish. Prompts may specify a particular character/world/etc. but creators may use the prompt for something else anyway and post the results. Prompters are still encouraged to post mostly prompts that anyone could use anywhere, as this maximizes the chance of having creators make something based on your prompt. Please title your comment "Prompt" or "Prompts" when providing inspiration so these are easy to find.

Prompt responses may also be treated as prompts and used for further inspiration. For example, a prompt may lead to a sketch which leads to a story, and so on. This kind of cascading inspiration is one of the most fun things about a collective jam session.

Everyone is eligible to use prompts, and everyone who wants to use a given prompt may do so, for maximum flexibility of creator choice in inspiration. You do not have to post a "Claim" reply when you decide to use a prompt, but this does help indicate what is going on so that other prompters can spread out their choice of prompts if they wish.

Creators are encouraged, but not required, to post at least one item free. Likewise, sharing a private copy of material with the prompter is encouraged but not required. Creative material resulting from prompts should be indicated in a reply to the prompt, with a link to the full content elsewhere on the creator's site (if desired); a brief excerpt and/or description of the material may be included in the reply (if desired). It helps to title your comment "Prompt Filled" or something like that so these are easy to identify. There is no time limit on responding to prompts. However, creators are encouraged to post replies sooner rather than later, as the attention of prompters will be highest during and shortly after the session.

Some items created from prompts may become available for sponsorship. Some creators may offer perks for donations, linkbacks, or other activity relating to this project. Check creator comments and links for their respective offerings.

Prompters, creators, and bystanders are expected to behave in a responsible and civil manner. If the moderators have to drag someone out of the sandbox for improper behavior, we will not be amused. Please respect other people's territory and intellectual property rights, and only play with someone else's characters/setting/etc. if you have permission. (Fanfic/fanart freebies are okay.) If you want to invite folks to play with something of yours, title the comment something like "Open Playground" so it's easy to spot. This can be a good way to attract new people to a shared world or open-source project, or just have some good non-canon fun.

Boost the signal! The more people who participate, the more fun this will be. Hopefully we'll see activity from a lot of folks who regularly mention their projects in this community, but new people are always welcome. You can link to this session post or to individual items created from prompts, whatever you think is awesome enough to recommend to your friends.

Teamwork based on integrity, communication, and trust.

Secret identities and complications thereof.

Everyday heroes.

"Just doing my job" heroes.

Ordinary people responding to, if not necessarily extraordinary events, certainly once-in-one's-own-lifetime crises. (CN gun violence: I'm thinking of mass shootings and how survivors of school shootings before Parkland were tweeting the Parkland kids through surviving the experience. By way of example.)

"Someone has to do something; guess I'm someone" heroes. (CN gun violence: the Parkland kids after the fact, stepping up politically so that wouldn't happen again. Again by way of example.)

Heroic people take risks to themselves to help others. Big or small.

"heroes" who don't realize they are not being heroic.

I have half to three-quarters of a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic written to your first prompt. I tell you this now, instead of dropping the freebie in your lap hours ago, because an hour ago when I noticed it's past my bedtime, the draft was about a hundred fifty words short of passing up my third-longest fic on AO3 to date. And then I typed up the quick and dirty summary of the rest of the fic, and that added another eight hundred words! Thank fuck I have no real need to get up in the morning!

Anyway I don't want anyone to feel discouraged about Creative Jam just because this round hasn't had a high output by work count.

Summary:

"What's this got to do with you wanting help breaking your heart of your boy?"

"He's not my boy." Ladybug leaned against him, one arm still holding her knees to her chest. "I'm not sure he even knows I'm interested. If he does, he's ignoring it with all his might." (Chat spared a moment to silently curse this callous little fool, whoever he was.) "But I can't think about much else."

(Callous little fool who didn't even want to know what a priceless treasure as Ladybug's heart was right there for his taking, if only he were willing to offer anything of himself in return. If only he were willing to notice her.)

"That's the problem, Chaton." She sounded so tired. "There's so much I need to think about, and all I'm thinking about is him. There's so much I need to do, and most of what I'm doing is increasingly desperate schemes to get his attention. If he'd just tell me no, I think I could stop. If I knew for sure he doesn't want me, it would hurt for a while, but then I could be done." She lifted their joined hands to her cheek; it wasn't a kiss to his hand, but it was tantalizingly close. "And then I could do my job better. Right?"

Heroes and villains who don't have incompatible goals, just incompatible methods.

Trickster heroes

Nordic folk heroes (DnD murderhobos) vs Arthurian Heroes (Noble Bright philosopher knights)

"Yes, you're a hero. But you're also a total tool and I just don't think you're in this for the right reasons."
