WAFFathon 2012 Official Thread
Welcome, everyone, to the fourth official WAFFathon, making the Internet a little happier. The premise behind the WAFFathon is simple: Fandom is great, but let's face it, it can get pretty dark around here at times. Not to mention that it rains absolute CRAP on the characters we most love. So to make their not-quite-canon lives a little better, and to increase the per-capita volume of Warm and Fuzzy Feelings (WAFF for short) on these here intertubes, the WAFFathon has arrived!
This year I'm upping the ante by putting my money where my WAFF is... see more behind the cut!
How to Play:
1) Comment with a fandom, a pairing, and a prompt. Your prompt can be specific, general, vague, cryptic, silly, goofy, OOC, AU, sexy, anything you like, so long as it brings a little sunshine in the end.
2) Find a prompt you like and make something fluffy and feel-goody out of it. Fanfic, fanart, manips, icons, vids, fanmixes, motis and macros, and anything else creative are all welcome. Adult content is also welcome, but remember that the goal is to be WAFFy!
3) Post it (or a link to it) in the comments.
4) Watch people's lives light up!
The Rules:
1) Provide lots of encouragement to the creators. Feedback. Compliment. Hug. Friend. Mem. It's good karma.
2) This meme will be very lightly policed, but policed it will be. So behave. No trashing of others, fandoms, ships, chars, stories, or the meme writ large will be tolerated. Friendly concrit or suggestions are fine, but keep in mind that we are trying to make people happy, not insecure. As your Moddess Goddess(TM), I reserve the right to do what I feel I need to do. Which I hope will be nothing, but which you are hereby forewarned can change depending on my very mercurial mood. So... like I said. Behave.
3) I have no end date in sight for this meme, but I suggest keeping it a weeklong activity.
4) You are more than welcome to crosspost your creative works wherever you like. It should go without saying that taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own elsewhere is unacceptable by any definition. I refer folks to
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
stop_plagiarism as a good place to follow up on any problems that might occur.Make the world even happier!
A couple of extra things you can do if you want to make everyone happier:
1) Readers/viewers: If you find an author/creative person you like, go back through their other works and comment on them, or rec their works on your journal. Creative people love feedback and it's especially gratifying when you get feedback on something you thought was lost to time and when someone likes your work enough to recommend it to his or her friends.
2) Creators: be sure to thank readers for their time and energy spent on your work. Friend them if they've friended you or recced you. One of the great things about fan-creative communities is the proximity you can have to the people you admire and respect. We don't get to have conversations with Joss and Kripke and the rest, but we can talk to each other and that's even cooler.
3) Pimp this meme to any friends or communities you think would be interested. You can find banners and code at the Banner Thread. Hotlink your little hearts out!
4) If you're feeling really encouraged, please consider making the world a better place on behalf of the fandom community.
CLICK!
DONATE!
ASPCA * Random Acts * International Committee of the Red Cross * America's Second Harvest * Humane Society International * UNICEF * American Cancer Society * Oxfam * Amnesty International
THIS YEAR I WILL BE DONATING $1 FOR EVERY COMMENT THE WAFF-A-THON RECEIVES, BE IT A PROMPT, A FILL, OR FEEDBACK, UP TO A $500 MAXIMUM!
I will split the money evenly among Random Acts, the ASPCA, and the Red Cross. Make me too poor to attend DragonCon this year :) (Please note that your comment has to be a genuinely happifying comment in order to count toward the total!)(I know we're all poor in fandom, but we're actually very rich!)
5) Tell someone you love today how much you care for and appreciate them, and remember: Happiness is a completely renewable energy source!
THANKS TO...

Date: 2012-03-11 03:11 pm (UTC)The room is paid up, Dean. Just watch your brother. Stay out of trouble.
Room and board are one thing, though, and boredom is another. Boredom is what he really has to worry about. Sam's already burned through the dime paperbacks they have stashed in a duffle except the one with the woman in a torn red dress on the cover because that's Dean's. Now Dean is desperate for something to keep his little brother occupied or else Sam will try to make friends with the lady at the front desk, and if he lets slip their dad left them there alone, they'll be in big trouble.
So. Dumpster. Bike. Tires. Dean's ridden a bike before, years ago when Sam was too little to take on the road, when their dad would leave them at Missouri's or Father Jim's for months at a stretch. Sometimes the neighborhood kids would let Dean have a go on their bikes. Nobody taught him how to ride. It was just trial and error.
But he's going to be there for Sam. Once the new tires are on ("Where did you--?" "Don't ask stupid questions, Sammy.") Dean lifts Sam onto the banana seat and clamps his hands to the handlebars. Sam's little legs barely reach the pedals. Dean gets a roll of duct tape from his bag and fashions makeshift foot straps around each pedal to keep Sam's shoes stable.
"Don't let go, Dean, oh geez, don't let go," Sam whimpers as they begin. Dean holds the back of the seat, his eyes rolling heavenward.
"It's fine, we're not even going fast." He keeps pushing the bike from behind, urging Sam to keep pedaling. The motel parking lot is flat and Floridian. There's no chance of suddenly picking up speed. Still, Sam frets.
"It's too high," he says, glancing down at the asphalt again. "It's too big for me, I can't--"
"Quit freaking, I'm right here." Dean tries for his father's gruff tone, but the sight of his little brother flailing on the bike make him smile and ruins it. "I'm going to let go, okay? And you just keep pedaling and going straight." Sam immediately swerves, the front wheel going wild. Dean laughs and straightens it out. "Pretend the grass is lava. You can't touch the lava. Just stay on the blacktop."
Sam falls that afternoon. A lot. He scrapes up the palms of his hands and his little knees, and Dean is doubled over with laughter by the time the sun starts going down, but Sam keeps climbing back on the bike and saying, "No, I can do it, just don't let go so fast this time."
"Okay, fine," Dean says, holding the back of the seat again. "Just tell me when to let go, okay?"
"Not yet, not yet," Sam pleads as he pumps his legs faster. Dean trots along behind him, his grip loosening. "Dean, not yet!" Sam cries over his shoulder.
"I won't, not yet," Dean agrees, following.

snuggling in bed
comforting after a nightmare
some h/c of some kind
making out on the sofa without it leading to anything more.
God, I want all of these, but feel free to just pick one. :P
