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

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.

5) Tell someone you love today how much you care for and appreciate them, and remember: Happiness is a completely renewable energy source!

Date: 2012-03-12 05:46 pm (UTC)“Dare,” he says promptly, just as he did the last three times one of them asked.
The three of them had been celebrating the end of a particularly thorny case when Neal somewhat tipsily suggested strip poker. Peter had vetoed that immediately, on the grounds that even if he didn’t cheat, Neal would win. He’d pouted, then suggested Truth or Dare instead, and because he wasn’t the only one who’d been drinking, they’d agreed.
“Are you ever going to pick Truth?”
Neal just smiles at Peter, who rolls his eyes.
“Hm, I’m running out of ideas,” El says. “Suggestions?”
“No consults!” Neal says before Peter can say anything.
This time Elizabeth pouts. After a moment, though, she nods, gets up, rummages through their CD collection and puts one in the player. “You wanted to strip, so strip,” she says as the beginning of “No Sleep Tonight” drifts into the room. “You can leave your hat on.”
Neal groans. “You didn’t.”
She smirks back at him. “I did.”
Neal grins and gets up, putting his hands on his hips and gyrating to the beat, then starting to slowly unbutton his shirt. When he’s done he throws it to Elizabeth, who catches it and buries her face in it. Peter snorts, but she notices he’s not looking away.
Neal’s eyes light on Peter, and he sashays toward him while Peter rolls his eyes. “I really need a pole to do this properly,” he says, and, OK, now Peter’s not the only one wishing Neal would pick “Truth” for once.
He seems to be doing fine though, licking his lips and draping himself over Peter’s lap.
“I thought you were stripping,” Elizabeth protests, but Neal just waves a hand at her irritatedly.
She’s not really annoyed, though. Watching Neal give Peter a lapdance while he tries to hide his blushes behind eyerolls is fine with her.
Neal laces his fingers behind Peter’s neck, grinning lecherously, and starts grinding.
A few minutes later he says, “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
“And you call my lines bad?” Elizabeth says.
Neal shifts down so he can work at Peter’s belt buckle. Yes, she can definitely get behind this.
