WAFF-a-thon 2012 - Main Thread!

And if we all could spread a little sunshine
All could lend a helping hand
We all would be a little closer
To the Promised Land


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] 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.

The light streaming though the open window hit Dean full in the face, jarring him awake. Years of well-honed instinct kept him still as he tried to remember how he'd wound up in this motel, a different one than he'd woken up in the morning before, a single room instead of the usual double; he was sweating under three blankets and he could hear the radiator whistling as it struggled along at full blast.

Not to mention Castiel was squeezed in there next to him on the twin bed. Naked and next to him in bed. In fact, they were both naked, and sure, Dean had woken up from a fair share of dreams that had gone like this but this was the first time he'd managed it with his eyes open.

Cas shivered, pressing against Dean, and the previous night came roaring back: the yuki-onna ambushing them out in the woods (and what the hell that was doing in middle-of-nowhere Michigan Dean had no idea), their guns freezing and cracking in their hands and the way that thing had gone right for Cas, long white fingers wrapping around his throat until ice caked his eyelashes and his lips turned blue. Dean remembered Cas shaking against him in the back seat as Sam drove them out of there, his hands like white blocks of ice as Dean tried anything he could think of to keep him awake.

Castiel shivered again, pulling Dean back from the memory and he pushed it away, wrapping his arms back around Cas. The movement made him stir and Dean felt Cas' eyelashes brush against his skin as he woke. "Dean?" he murmured, bleary blue eyes looking up at him. "Did I sleep?"

"Looks like it." Dean traced his fingertips down Castiel's arm; his skin was still dotted with goosebumps and his hands were cold enough that Dean jumped when Cas settled one against his waist. "That thing sure mojoed you good."

"Some spirits are more powerful than others," he said into Dean's skin, like he couldn't be bothered to pick up his head. He shivered again and Dean wrapped him up tighter, shifting around so he was on his back with Cas on top of him.

"That better?" he said, he said, resting one hand against the small of his back.

Castiel nodded, stretching out on top of Dean with a happy little sigh. "Do we have to get up yet?"

Dean traced the marks left on his neck from where the spirit had grabbed him, a handprint drawn on his skin with frostbite. "Not until you're better."

"Being cold is unpleasant."

Dean trailed his fingertips up Cas' spine, feeling him slowly relax. "Go back to sleep. Or whatever it is you do. You'll feel better in a few more hours, then we'll go out and kick that thing's ass. Deal? Sam's probably working on what we need to kill it right now."

Castiel nodded again, letting out another contented sigh when Dean wrapped one arm around his waist. Dean pulled the covers back around him, tucking them around his shoulders. He laced his fingers through Cas' cold ones and counted the seconds until his breathing went deep and even again, his breath warm against Dean's neck.

*flappy hands & screeching noises*

LOVE THIS. Especially how Dean has roaming fingers that don't really do anything to help, it's just that Dean wants to touch. ♥♥♥

Heh. I'm currently having my issues with this pairing. Regardless, I can appreciate the beauty of your art and happily roll around it that. Their faces are perfect, as are the colours.

Not even my pairing, but even I have to smile over that piece. I love how relaxed and content Dean looks in juxtaposition to Cas' giant grin.
