winterhawk wonderland gift for @mariana-oconnor! I sort of mashed your prompts together to try and fit them into an art piece, so this is footprints in otherwise pristine snow and an unexpected reunion mashed together in a.. snowy reunion?
Romaine Brooks (1874-1970) “At the Seaside” (1914) Oil on canvas Located in the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France
Brooks was an American painter who worked mostly in Paris and Capri. She specialized in portraits and used a subdued tonal palette keyed to the color gray. She is best known for her images of women in androgynous or masculine dress, and depictions of European lesbian subculture, especially during the 1900s, of which she was a prominent figure.
Hello and welcome to the Poly Amory Exchange 2022!
WHAT IS THE POLY ARMORY EXCHANGE?
The Poly Armory Exchange (PolyA Exhange) is a fic and art exchange celebrating our favourite Marvel OT3, Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov. We love Winterhawk, BuckyNat, and Clintasha, but as this is a poly exchange only works that can be tagged with “James ‘Bucky’ Barnes/Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov” will be accepted.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
This will be an AO3 assigned exchange, so you will need an AO3 account to take part. You will sign up through AO3 and be randomly assigned a recipient based on your tag selections. You will then have an allotted period of time in which to complete your work, which will be uploaded to the AO3 collection by the deadline.
Your assignment will be emailed to the email address associated with your AO3 account. As such, please make sure that this is an email you check regularly, or at least make sure you check it around the time assignments are due to be sent out.
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE?
Sunday 17th April: Sign-ups open
Saturday 23rd April: Sign-ups close
Sunday 24th April: Assignments sent out
Sunday 19th June: Fanworks due
Sunday 26th June: Fanworks revealed (this may be earlier if all works are submitted on time)
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
As a poly exchange, works must be centred around the sexual and/or romantic relationship between Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton and Natasha Romanov
You must have an AO3 account to take part (if you do not, and would like to take part, please contact @cloud–atlas and she can get you an AO3 invite)
Wordcounts for fics must be between 1000 and 10,000 words, and stories must be complete when posting
All art must be, at minimum, inked and coloured (either flat or shaded) and contain all three characters
All Additional Tags that you pick will be indicators of what you’d like to receive (Request) and what you’re willing to create (Offer). This is what will be used for matching
You will be asked to provide three prompts when signing up, though remember that they are suggestions only and your creator can choose not to use them. Prompts should be short; at the most two sentences (e.g. ‘cowboy AU,’ ‘A and B are fairy royalty, C wanders into their realm by mistake,’ or ‘post-WS recovery fic with sexytimes and feels’). No essay-prompts please and remember that there may be artists, not just fic writers, reading these prompts
You must adhere to any Do Not Wants (DNWs) your matchprovides when creating your work
Additional guidance for signing up will be provided in the signup form itself, please read that carefully before signing up
There is no penalisation for needing to drop out, but please give us as much warning as you can. There are no formal pinch hitters for this exchange, so we’ll need time to organise cover
This is not an anonymous exchange
Character and/or ship bashing, RPF, and plagiarism have no part in this exchange
Your mod for this event is @cloud–atlas, who can be reached though the askbox here, through her tumblr, or through the PolyA Discord (CloudAtlas#1940). Additional minor modly duties (primarily keeping an eye on the tumblr) will be carried out by @cruciatusforeplay.
Please use #polyaexchange2022 when tagging on tumblr, and follow @the-poly-armory for updates and information. Previous works for the PolyA Exchange 2021 can be found here; previous works for past PolyA events can be found here (AO3) and here (tumblr).
