Let's hope LJ behaves. ::crosses fingers::
Once again, much love to
geckoholic for making the beautiful, seasonal banner. Thank-youuu for making this whole thing possible. <333 YOU ARE OUR HERO.
A few ground-rules:01. Per your request, we’re having a
winter/holiday themed meme this time around! That means we’re looking for prompts involving Christmas, New Year’s, hypothermic snuggles, boys getting snowed in the middle of a hunt leading to yet more hypothermic snuggles, de-aged!Dean and Santa!Sam, idek. The list is endless, really; as long as the prompts relate even VAGUELY to winter-time, they’re game. We’re not picky. ;D
This being the comm it is, prompts should of course
also include Dean-centric h/c.
02. Comment to this post with your desired characters or pairings, and a prompt. All genres/pairings are welcome, however this is not an RPF meme. Please focus on the fictional characters only.
Example: Gen, Dean, Sam. It’s not the first Christmas Dean’s spent in the hospital.
03. You can leave as many prompts as you like, but one prompt per comment, please. If you've got a few, comment with each separately.
04. Your prompts can be as short or as detailed as you’d like.
05. Scroll through the comments and when/if you find a prompt you like, write a fic in reply to the comment.
06. More than one comment-fic response to a prompt is totally acceptable, and in fact encouraged. The more fic, the better!
07. Art submissions are very much accepted too! Large art should be posted as a thumbnail that links back to the full art, please.
08. When replying to a prompt with your comment-fic or art, put 'FILLED' in your subject line as well as warning for anything that might be triggering, such as non-con, self-harm, etc. You can add anything else you want too, ie: a title if you have one/part numbers. So, your subject line should look something like this:
FILLED: Title, Character(s), genre/pairing(s), Rating, Warning(s) - if anyFor further clarification:
Example: FILLED: Untitled, Dean and Sam, gen, PG-13, self-harm
No worries if you don’t do all of this, but using 'FILLED' as well as warnings will make it easier for people to find your fic, and for me when I’m compiling the masterlist.
09. Anonymous posting is enabled in case you’re embarrassed by your schmoopiest of schmoopy hurt/comfort fantasies or something, haha. IP logging will also be off during the weeks the meme is at it’s most active.
10. No spoilers for upcoming episodes, please.
If you're prompting something from a recently aired episode, please be courteous and note that there may be spoilers before you get to the main part of your request. Or you can use the following code. Just put your prompt/text where it says to:
CODE FOR SPOILERY PROMPTS/TEXTIt will look like this:
11. Likewise, no character bashing, or rudeness in general. Be respectful – of the characters, and of each other. The mods reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments.
12. Do feed your authors! They’re awesome.
13. If you want to advertise this, that’s fantastic! It would be really appreciated. Just copy and paste the code provided above into your journal.
Tips:When leaving feedback on a fanwork, remember to press 'reply' directly to the comment you're replying to, rather than pressing 'leave a comment' to the post itself, so that your comment goes to where you want it to. ;)
FAQ:
- Yes, if your fic gets too long for a comment-fic, you can comment with the link to it at your LJ.
- Yes, you can totally post the fics you write for this meme directly to the comm as well.
- Because it bears repeating - yes, art is more than welcome as well as fic.
- As for a timeframe - Themed memes like this one remain open for prompting until we see things starting to slow down. So, awhile! ;) And you’ll know it’s closed for prompting because a mod will tack a big, bolded note that says so at the bottom of this page. In any case, the meme will stay open indefinitely for new comment-fics and comments/feedback.
Any other questions? Feel free to PM us at the
hoodietime account, or e-mail hoodietime [at] gmail [dot] com.
Have funnn! And happy holidays! <3
Masterlist
ETA: As of Januray 18th, 2012, this meme is closed for leaving new prompts. It is still OPEN, however, (and will be indefinitely) for new comment-fics and comments/feedback, and we’ll keep updating the masterlist as long as people keep writing. ;)➽ This post was compiled by maypoles and is posted under this account for organizational purposes.

“Seriously? Seriously?”
“Huh. I guess coming inside doesn’t stop it.”
“Thanks for the hot tip, Sam. Whatever would I do without you,” Dean snaps as he shakes his arms, sending water droplets flying around the small motel room. It’s actually a little snow cloud, and Sam keeps having flashbacks of the depressed Zoloft cloud he’s seen on advertisements.
“Dude, you’re getting water everywhere. Go stand in the bathroom or something,” Sam says as he watches the tiny cloud continue to dump snow over his seething brother. It’s a lot of snow for such an insignificant cloud. Sam’s impressed. He stays quiet about it, but his inner geek is definitely impressed.
They’d tried an umbrella and the cloud just popped up underneath it. The closer Dean brought the umbrella to his head, the closer the cloud came. Sam called stop to their little experiment when the cloud actually surrounded Dean’s head. Snow they could deal with, but Sam didn’t want Dean swimming in it.
“Fuck my life,” Dean moaned from the bathroom.
Sam grabbed his thickest hoodie and Dean’s jacket on his way to the bathroom. Dean was standing in the shower, shivering and annoyed as snow collected around his feet.
“My life,” Dean repeats, “fuck it.”
“It’s not the end of the world. This is only going to last until midnight,” Sam soothes as he passes Dean the clothes he’d collected.
“Not the end of the world? Fine. Come stand in here with me, bitch.”
“Someone’s got to take care of you tomorrow when you get sick,” Sam replies reasonably. He pulls the empty trashcan liner out and splits it down the middle.
“I’m not gonna get sick,” Dean replies as he pulls off his drenched shirt and tries to get the hoodie over his soaked body before too much snow collects on his ice-cold skin.
“Sure you’re not,” Sam agrees. “Put this over your shoulders before you get soaked again.”
“I’m not wearing a trash bag.”
“Quit being an idiot,” Sam snaps as he holds the bag out to Dean. Snow is already starting to collect on his jacket, and it’s not exactly waterproof. “You’re standing in a snowstorm. Inside our motel room. Now’s not really the time to be concerned about your appearance.”
“I hate you,” Dean growls as he snatches the bags from Sam’s outstretched hand.
“I know.”
“I hate snow.”
“When this is over, I’ll take you to Florida.”
“I hate Florida.”
“Arizona then.”
“I hate Arizona.”
“What don’t you hate? Let’s start there. It’s probably a shorter list.”
Dean crosses his arms over his chest, and he’s trying to keep from shivering. “I hate witches.”
Sam sighs and disappears to turn up the heat as high as it will go. Sam returns and builds a small snowman in the shower stall, and Dean stomps on it just as Sam sits back to admire his work. Apparently Dean hates snowmen, too.
It’s a long four hours, but they manage to make it through it.
“I love this bed.”
“It’s a nice bed.”
“I love being warm.”
Sam shifts slightly as Dean’s head bumps his chin. He thought he’d have to beg his brother to let him warm him up, but being freezing cold is a powerful motivator and Dean stripped off his clothing and slid into the bed quicker than Sam could say the tiny snow cloud that could.
“Being warm is nice,” Sam agrees.
“Love you,” Dean mumbles.
Sam freezes, his hand resting on the back of Dean’s neck.
“’Cause you’re warm.”
Sam’s hand resumes its lazy path down Dean’s spine. “Yeah, I’m warm.”
