Challenge 2: A Dean-focused SCHMOOPFEST! (fic and/or art accepted) / GENERAL INFO & RULES
A Dean-focused
SCHMOOPFEST!
PIMP IT!
http://community.livejournal.com/hoodie_time/157348.html">A Dean-focused SCHMOOPFEST!
The Basics:
I think we could all use a little schmoop this hiatus! So, for the month of June, from today up to and including June 30th, I challenge you to write a fic or create a piece of art featuring one (or more, if you’re extra-crafty) of the following schmoopy prompts - with Dean as the one getting all schmooped up, of course.
Schmoop is the name of the game, so your fic/art does not have to include sick!Dean or any kind of hurt/comfort - it’s optional. (Albeit extremely awesome.)
This is a very easygoing challenge, and is done a bit differently than our other challenges in that you can participate anonymously if you'd prefer. I know some people are embarrassed by their schmoopy tendencies. ;D Whatever for, I do not know.
Schedule:
Posting period June 1st through to June 30th, submissions to be linked or posted right here in this post
(+ directly to the comm if you'd like!)
Prompts:
Prompt #1: hugs/cuddling
Prompt #2: bed-sharing
Prompt #3: Dean wearing Sam’s hoodie!
Prompt #4: clothes-sharing (i.e.; Dean wearing Castiel’s trenchcoat, pre-series fic with Dean wearing daddy Winchester’s leather coat, or any other variation of clothes-sharing you can think of.)
How this is going to work:
Before we get started: Anonymous posting is enabled and IP tracking is off in case you’re embarrassed by your schmoopy tendencies. Seriously, feel free to be RIDICULOUSLY schmoopy - it’s good for you.
01. There's no need to sign up for this challenge. If you choose to participate, you will have the month of June to write/create art for any of the above schmoopy prompts. Your fics may be full-length or comment-fic length. You can comment to this post with a link to your submission on your journal, or you can comment to this post with your submission in the comments the way you would a comment-fic. If you go longer than one comment, you can reply to your original comment until you have finished posting. And if you choose to post your submission to the comm at any time, that’s great too. Please see what tags are suitable to use in the FAQ, below.
02. People can follow this post and give you love.
03. At the beginning of next month I’ll make a new post with the hopefully schmoop-filled masterlist!
Posting:
All I ask is that when you comment to this post with your fic/art/whatever, you put your title, (if you have one) what prompt you chose, the genre/pairing; e.g.; gen or Sam/Dean, etc., and spoilers (if applicable) in your subject line - or, if there isn't enough room, in the first line of your comment. Please make sure anything porny is clearly marked as such as well, and adhere to LJ's TOS when posting images.
See guideline #1 for more info on posting.
FAQ:
Here are the answers to some questions you may have about the challenge (including a definition of schmoop if anyone is unclear on that.) Feel free to PM me or e-mail me at hoodietime [at] gmail [dot] com if you have any others.
--> Schmoop is generally categorized as fic/art with minimal angst, the kind that gives you that “awwww” feeling. But no worries - nothing will be turned away for not being schmoopy enough or whatever. I know a prompt can run away with a writer and I think it’s great when it does. So angst is fine as well as pure angstless fluff, but as a general rule the comfort should overwhelm the angst in the end.
--> No, your fic/art for this challenge does not have to include sick!Dean or any kind of hurt/comfort, although it would certainly be appreciated.
--> All genres and pairings are loved and accepted here, however this is not an RPF comm. Fictional characters only, please.
--> Fics can be as short or as long as you’d like, and WIPS are fine.
--> Yes, any type of art that fits a prompt is awesome also. Drawings, icons, picspams, etc. - it's all good!
--> You can submit as many entries as you want.
--> As I said above, anonymous posting is enabled and IP tracking is off, so don’t be scared to be as schmoopy as possible!
--> There will be no extensions for this challenge. Entries are due anytime up to and including June 30th. If your submission is posted/linked in the comments to this post by June 30th, you can use the .challenge 2 tag whenever you post, before of after the challenge is over. If you write any fics/have art for this challenge after that date, it won’t be part of the masterlist, but please use our new .amnesty tag and post it to the comm anyway. We’d LOVE to see it whenever!
Okay! Let’s whip up some schmoop!
ETA: The schmoopfest masterlist is now up HERE. Check it out!
