Just a sample of a moodboard. I will admit I've never done one before so forgive me.

Wakandan princess Shuri is on a diplomatic trip to New York City. Peter Parker is assigned to get photos of the rarely sighted African princess. Shuri spots the handsome young man and makes him a deal: exclusive photos of her if he shows her the real New York at Christmas. Cue snowball fights in Prospect Park and perhaps a spot of romance?

This is just an example. Go forth and be creative!

From mod Wolfiefics

I wish to issue an apology. I by no means meant to trivialize anyone's life experiences, bad or good. I am a survivor of sexual molestation and have been stalked twice. I suffer from bipolar disorder, anxiety, and possibly undiagnosed PTSD. I've been there, done that, got the psychiatric hospital bills to prove it.

Everyone processes their traumas differently. Some are healthy, some are not. But we process them as best we can given our circumstances. I meant no disrespect in the slightest. I only wanted to point out the idea behind the challenge was happy endings. As Pepper points out below (above?) everyone reaches that point in different ways.

Due to my life experience, one of my characters will be mildly stalked, but nothing triggering will be mentioned. There might be a hint of past verbal abuse, I haven't decided. But it will be referenced as a past event that shapes that character's present actions with his opposite.

I also offer myself for a shoulder to cry on or a person to rant at. Or maybe just someone to idly chat nonsense with, either here on Tumblr or on our Discord channel. The great thing about the Marvel fandom is we are a community helping each other and the world. We are fandom superheroes, each one of us. I have been in many fandoms over my 46 years but Marvel is unique, I assure you.

So again, I meant no offense in my post to the anon last night. I thought I was just clearing up some submission guideline confusion.

Snippet from An Irish Solstice

Prompt #15 Shrunkyclunks ficcie by your crazy mod, Wolfiefics:

Aoife said excitedly, "I hear a car. Perhaps Brock is here?"

Bucky looked fretful for a moment before schooling his expression into something more relaxed. His body, though, had gone taut. Steve had the feeling this was about to be an unpleasant encounter.

Aoife left the room and out the front door. A few minutes later they could hear her chattering as she and the last of the coven's solstice guests entered the old Victorian house. A tall, well-built man with harsh if handsome features entered the sitting room behind Aoife.

Rumlow's brown eyes held no hint of warmth despite the smile on his face. "Hey, everyone," he greeted. His eyes landed on Bucky and his smile turned knowing. "Bucky."

"Brock." Bucky's tone was cold.

There was a moment of quiet at Bucky's cold greeting, which Aoife eventually broke by bustling Brock out of the room. "Let me show you your room, Brock. We were going to put you with Bucky in the king-sized bed, but Bucky brought a guest, to our pleasure."

Steve felt and saw Bucky shudder at Aoife's words and a wave of possessiveness washed over him. Bucky had been repulsed by that thought, sharing a bed with Rumlow. There was some bad blood of some kind between the two men. Steve, for the first time since being welcomed by the coven, almost wished he wasn't here, but then he thought twice. Bucky might need a champion. Perhaps it was Fate that Steve was here to stand by Bucky.

That's what friends were for, after all, right?

Are you ready?

I've got my Hallmark story plotted out and read to start writing this week.

Are YOU ready for a Marvel Happily Ever After Hallmark-style?

So I completely understand if you guys aren't up for moderating submissions with noncon or underage... but it might be better to state the reason up-front. Because when the guidelines say things like "include as much angst and h/c as you want on the way to the HEA... except these specific things," it reads really nastily to me. Maybe I'm oversensitive to the implication that rape and CSA victims are ruined for happy endings forever. But if I am, it's only because I've heard it so many times.

The hurt/comfort aspect will come from off screen past incidents, not to be described in story. We want nothing that can be triggering. Example: Natasha's mind flashed to her ex, who liked to hit her, but she shook herself from that memory. Clint isn't like that.

Panic attacks in the story are allowed because they can incite a hurt/comfort, bonding scenario but properly tag that it exists.

A lot if people find under age offensive. I know I do. Age them up if you want to use them. Our "legal" age limit is 18 years to be considered an adult for this challenge.

We want characters to have depth and a past. Otherwise they are two dimensional and boring. But no on-screen violence or abuse in the story. Make it a past, off-screen event, not the focus and plot of the story. The point is to make feel good, happy stories. If you want to write HTP, abuse/comfort, etc, this is not the challenge for you.

Thanks for the question! If it's still not clear, please send another ask and we'll clarify some more!

EDIT: Some of the mods have been through abuse and trauma and don't want to read it in our happy, feel good, everyone lives happily ever after stories for this event. The idea is to promote happy times usually associated with the holidays. Not torture, abuse and things that require us to go to therapy.
