CAPTAIN CANARY WEEK 2021 IS 38 DAYS AWAY, WHO'S EXCITED?

I certainly am! And because of that I'll be releasing these "About the Prompts" posts throughout November as a way of explaining and expanding on the prompts, as well as promoting the event!

As you might have noticed, each day has an overall "theme" and then two prompts to get you started!

(Please note that you don't have to use both prompts unless you want to. You can pick just one, or even choose neither and just follow the day's theme!)

▪︎December 12th, Day One: Deja Vu •

Prompt I: Sara and/or Leonard's consciousness is thrown back in time and now they have a chance to change things.

This concept is pretty self-explanatory, and you can even find a million canon ways to make it happen. We're on a show where both magic and super advanced technology exist, so feel free to go crazy with that.

Maybe some magic villain decides to throw Sara's conciousness to her past body, where she can't stop them, but she can change the past. Or maybe the Oculus device has a second fail-safe, one that sends Leonard's consciousness right back to his past-body on that rooftop where it all began. The possibilities are endless, and I'd love to see what these two characters would do with a second chance like that.

How much would they be able to change? How much would they want to change? Would they be able to fix everything that went wrong on their mission, or would they want to find a way back to their own timeline? Is history destined to repeat itself?

I don't know, but I'd love to find out. After all, people do say that hindsight is 20/20.

Prompt II: Time Loop

What's more fitting to an "I've seen this all before" theme than a time loop prompt?

Again, pretty self-explanatory and the possibilities are still endless! Don't be afraid of making it into an AU, or diverging wildly from canon.

You can take inspiration from that Time Loop episode with Zari, or you can blame it on the Nerd Twins. Hell, maybe it's all the Time Master's fault or maybe someone was messing with magics that they shouldn't have been. What if Sara is forced to keep losing Leonard, again and again, until she figures out a way of stopping the loop? Or what if they meet before their mission on the Waverider, and are stuck together in this endless loop thanks to the meta of the week?

The prompt is your oyster... or something like that, lmao. Point is: go crazy with this Groundhog Day prompt.

CAPTAIN CANARY WEEK 2021 IS 28 DAYS AWAY!!

In hopes of clarifying any doubts, and with the purpose of promoting the event, I'll be releasing these "About the Prompts" posts all throughout November. So let's get right to it!

(Please note that you don't have to use both prompts unless you want to. You can pick just one, or even choose neither and just follow the day's theme!)

• December 14th, Day Three: Crossover Season •

Prompt I: Pick any crossover episode and make it Captain Canary. Or create your own crossover.

While this prompt might overlap a little with day two's prompt I, it's still a little different.

So choose a crossover episode, even the ones that were just with the Flash and Arrow, and make it Captain Canary. For this prompt, it doesn't matter if it's their first meeting, if they've known each other for years or if they're just now getting reacquainted after Leonard comes back.

Or, if you want to create your own crossover, feel free to imagine and mix any number of characters and situations from the Arrowverse! Just keep in mind that the focus is still our residents Crook and Assassin.

This prompt opens a whole new can of worms. What if instead of recruiting the Legends, Rip had simply joined in with Oliver and Barry when they first tried to help the Hawks to kill Savage, with a couple of surprise and useful additions? Or what if, when all the Earths came together, Leonard is there, alive and well, and now he and Sara have to learn how to navigate their new reality together? Or perhaps, when the Oculus exploded, it sent Len careening through Earths only to come out on the arms Supergirl, and now he has to not only adjust to this new Earth, but also to figure out how to get home (cue angst and longing)!

Use your creativity and imagination to make something amazing and, maybe quite literally, out of this world!

Prompt II: "Legends never die."

Another dialogue prompt. Who never heard that "Heroes always get remembered, but Legends never die," right?

Following the crossover theme of the day, this time you're also free to reach out from the Arrowverse to create crossovers with other shows, movies and books!

This day and prompt also work with any alternate universes you might want to play with! Vampire!Leonard and Slayer!Sara, anyone? Or maybe a Palm Springs AU? Or what about an Army of Thiefs AU?

Anything your heart desires can come true with this prompt, as long as you use the dialogue so it can apply, lol.

That's it for now! I'll talk to you guys soon with the next About the Prompts! I'm so excited for this event, and I hope you guys are too!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

CAPTAIN CANARY WEEK 2021 IS 32 DAYS AWAY!!

In hopes of clarifying any doubts, and with the purpose of promoting the event, I'll be releasing these "About the Prompts" posts all throughout November. So let's get right to it!

(Please note that you don't have to use both prompts unless you want to. You can pick just one, or even choose neither and just follow the day's theme!)

▪︎December 13th, Day Two: Alternate Meetings •

Prompt I: in canon alternate first meeting

I know the timeline around Sara's death VS Leonard's first appearance might be a little iffy, but if Barry and the Legends can mess with time, then so can we, right? The point of this prompt is to pick a canon episode and just add Captain Canary into the mix! Try and keep it as canon as possible, but we all know these two are nothing if unpredictable, so don't worry if things change just by them being there.

Need something to kick off that creativity? What if Sara was there when Barry recruited Len to help move the metas? What if Sara was passing through Central when Lewis came out of prison? What if Leonard was in Starling and ran into the Canary?

There are so many possibilities, and I look forward to see what you guys come up with.

Prompt II: "This isn't Bonnie and Clyde."

This one might be a little trickier, but that's why I added it, for the challenge! This dialogue prompt is not something one might say after just meeting someone, but with Sara and Len, one can never really know what to expect. Maybe they ran into each other while on separate jobs, maybe they have to unexpectedly team up to stop a common foe; who knows?!

Don't bother with sticking to canon on this one if you don't want to, you can write whatever plot comes to mind, in whatever universe you want to create/use. Soulmates? Done! Meet cute? For sure. Whatever your CC heart desires, as long as it follows the theme and prompt!

And that's it for now! I'm so excited for this event, and I hope you guys are too! Let me know in the comments or reblogs (or wherever) if there's already something cooking in your brilliant little heads!

If anything is still confusing, feel free to ask me any questions you might have!

CAPTAIN CANARY WEEK 2021 IS 14 DAYS AWAY!!

In hopes of clarifying any doubts, and with the purpose of promoting the event, I'll be releasing these "About the Prompts" posts all throughout November. So let's get right to it!

(Please note that you don't have to use both prompts unless you want to. You can pick just one, or even choose neither and just follow the day's theme!)

• December 17th, Day Six: CC Undercover •

Prompt I: Christmas

Well, we can't have a Captain Canary Week in December and not have a Christmas related prompt, can we?

This day's theme is all about Captain Canary going undercover, so maybe they need to infiltrate a Christmas party? Or maybe something happens at the North Pole.

As usual, the possibilities are endless. Use your imagination to give Captain Canary some of that Christmas magic, all while undercover, of course.

Prompt II: "Quick, kiss me so we don't blow our cover!"

This one is a classic! You don't have to use these exact words, and feel free to improvise on the dialogue, but this is definitely a favorite trope.

This day's prompt doesn't necessarily need to have anything to do with Christmas, and you're free to come up with any kind of undercover scenarios you want. This one can happen in any season, or any universe you want. As long as it's Captain Canary and keeping to the day's theme, anything goes!

CAPTAIN CANARY WEEK 2021 IS 18 DAYS AWAY!!

In hopes of clarifying any doubts, and with the purpose of promoting the event, I'll be releasing these "About the Prompts" posts all throughout November. So let's get right to it!

(Please note that you don't have to use both prompts unless you want to. You can pick just one, or even choose neither and just follow the day's theme!)

• December 16th, Day Five: Canon Divergence •

Prompt I: Teen!Sara, Teen!Mick and Teen!Leonard

I think I'm not alone when I say we were robbed of seeing Killer, Klepto and Pyro hanging out as teenagers, and so I had no other choice but to add this as a prompt.

So maybe Len is also picked up as a teen when the Pilgrim is after them, or perhaps young!Sara becomes an anachronism when she finds herself in Central City, some time in the '80s. The Captain Canary romantic element can be their adult selves, if that's what you prefer.

Use your imagination and creativity to make your own story with this prompt. And I'm sure anything you come up with will be amazing!

Prompt II: "I don't believe in destiny."

Another dialogue prompt, and this one can go anywhere and with any changes in canon your heart desires.

Remember to follow the day's theme, and you're good. What if Leonard had let Sara know about his feelings sooner? What if he had been left behind with her, Ray and Kendra? What if Sara hadn't been left behind at all?

This is the perfect prompt for all of the what ifs and almosts.
