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 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.

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

Every year on his birthday, Dean's put the same set of plastic balloons on whatever form of birthday cake he has. He's gotten pretty sick of the stupid balloons by now until he finds out where his brother found them -

- where did Dean find them? And why does he insist on those silly balloons after all these years?

So it's not super waffy - unless you can make it waffy.

Wincest is fine, if the adopter of this plot bunny is so inclined.

Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, kidfic

[bballgirl3022.livejournal.com]

Dean/Castiel, kidfic in any shape or form. Just Dean and Cas being adorable with their children

Fandom: Sherlock, Sherlock+John

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Domestic!fic with the boys being especially sweet (in their own way) to Mrs Hudson.

[angel-kink.livejournal.com]

A newly human Castiel has his first nightmare. Dean luls him back to sleep. :3

Supernatural, Dean/Cas

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Dean doesn't think his soul is anything to write home about, so Cas tries to describe it to him.

Fandom: Glee/White Collar

[ibonekoen]

Neal hasn't seen his baby brother Blaine since Blaine was seven. Now they've been reunited and there's one thing Neal's missed more than anything -- his little brother's hugs.

Doctor Who (Eleven): Gen or Amy/Rory

[peppervl.livejournal.com]

While on an adventure, Rory finds some abandoned kittens and sneaks them back onto the TARDIS. Hijinks ensue.

Gen is fine as is Amy/Rory and Eleven/River.

CWRPS: J2

[peppervl.livejournal.com]

After a long day (week) on set, Jensen ends up with a killer headache (migraine or not, up to the writer). Jared takes care of him.

[mithrel.livejournal.com]

Suits, Mike/Harvey. Mike wants a pet. Harvey says no, absolutely not, not in his apartment and how would they take care of it anyway, they work 80 hour weeks. Mike doesn't listen.

Supernatural - Sam and Dean gen

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

DEAN TEACHES SAM HOW TO RIDE A BIKE.

And probably laughs at Sam when he falls and scratches himself. But still, good times are had by all.

Supernatural - Sam/Dean or Sam and Dean gen

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

Future curtain fic in which one of them has a DOGGIE and it causes all kinds of SHENANIGANS in their house which they own and which has CURTAINS (be they literal or metaphorical).

Supernatural RPF - Jared/Jensen or Jared/Genevieve

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

Jared does something stupid. Bakes this cupcake (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lza8m3wY7N1r5wwzeo1_400.jpg) to make up for it. It works.

Suits, Harvey/Mike

[bballgirl3022.livejournal.com]

Anything where Harvey and Mike are being adorably domestic and/or couple-y

Leverage: Parker/Hardison

[peppervl.livejournal.com]

As part of a con, the Leverage team ends up with a puppy. Parker bonds with it and asks Hardison if they can keep it when the con is over.

Fandom: Supernatural, Destiel,

[yourgracewasted.livejournal.com]

Any setting or AU: Castiel is determined to make Dean pie from scratch

[onetouchspark.livejournal.com]

Sam scolds Dean for having to take care of his angel.

ETA: this can be happy, right? In a fun way!

Good Omens

[angel-kink.livejournal.com]

Crowley/Aziraphale

Crowley is drunk and makes schmoopy fluffy very un-demon-like confessions to Aziraphale.

[wallmakerrelict.livejournal.com]

Supernatural; Dean/Castiel; The constant eye-sex always drove Sam crazy. He thought it would stop when Dean and Cas started having actual sex. It didn't.

[jaune-chat.livejournal.com]

Heroes, Matt/Daphne, she keeps thinking little things to brighten up Matt's day every time she speeds by the apartment

H50 - Steve/Danny

[akadougal.livejournal.com]

Steve/Danny, taking care of each other after a long day.

[morganoconner.livejournal.com]

Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, Grace

Danny has to go to NJ for a few weeks. Grace doesn't want her Uncle Steve to be lonely while he's gone, so she brings him a kitten from a litter one of the kids at school was giving away.

Bonus for Danny meeting the kitten when he gets home and unwillingly falling in love with it. Double bonus for them naming it together.

Established relationship is great, but quadruple-bonus-hearts-in-eyes-forever if you can somehow make it a first time fic.

♥

[morganoconner.livejournal.com]

RPS, Richard/Misha, SNUGGLES

I don't care. Fic, art, whatever. I just need Richard and Misha snuggling. Lots and lots of snuggles!!

SPN RPS - J2

[akadougal.livejournal.com]

Jared has cold toes and Jensen warms them up. Somehow.

White Collar, Neal/Peter/Elizabeth

[mithrel.livejournal.com]

Neal is brittle. They're the glue that holds him together.

Supernatural Sam/Castiel

[(Anonymous)]

Castiel sees that Sam is sad and tries to him him a salad to cheer him up.

Sam appreciates the effort and hugs are had.
