WAFF-a-thon 2012 - Main Thread!
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

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!

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...

Re: FANDOM: SPN (Dean/Cas) 2/2
He thought he could hear Bobby's eyes roll when Dean wiped some crumbs from Cas' chin. "So, did you all have the big coming out party yet, or what?"
"Bobby, don't even joke," Sam said, shaking his head. "I have to live with this."
Bobby took a swallow of his own beer. "We should do something about that, then."
***
Sam ignored the pounding coming from the inside of the panic room. "Sam! You let us out of here!"
"It's for your own good, Dean. Both of you."
"Let us out or I will kill you, Sam!"
Sam just grinned at that. "We'll open the door when you and Cas figure things out."
"Figure what out?"
Sam settled down on the floor to wait, ignoring Dean's continued and vehement protests. Eventually Dean quieted down and Sam knew his brother well enough to know he'd gotten to the furious pacing stage, which would of course be followed by more swearing. Then maybe there'd be some progress, even if Sam did not want to know any of the gory details.
A few hours later Bobby stopped by with a burger and fries, handing them to Sam as he gave the door a long, significant look. "It sounds quiet in there."
"It's been quiet. I'm scared to look."
"Well, by now they've either killed each other or..well, something else," Bobby said. "You should probably know which."
Sam sighed and pulled himself up from the floor, bracing himself for what he might see. He peeked in the window and let out another sigh, one of relief this time; while everyone's clothes were still on Castiel had Dean backed against the wall and was kissing him like the world would end if he stopped. Sam didn't know what had gone on in there and he would never have thought Cas would come around first but he was so glad one of them had seen the light he didn't care. "Looks like the long nightmare is over, Bobby."
"I'll give thanks for that," Bobby said.
Sam clapped Bobby on the shoulder. "C'mon, let's give them some privacy. This has been building up long enough that they're probably going to be a while."
"You know you all are cleaning that room before you leave, right?" Bobby grumbled.
Sam could only laugh. "Seriously, I'm so glad they finally caught a clue I'll do it myself."
Re: FANDOM: SPN (Dean/Cas) 2/2
I did not know that I needed Dean feeding Cas pie in my life until I was reading it.
And I love that Sam and Bobby didn't get cute about it and try to trick them into admitting their feelings. No, just lock them in the panic room until they either kiss or murder each other. It's what I would have done. :D
