hoodie_time | Challenge 2: A Dean-focused SCHMOOPFEST! (fic and/or art accepted) / GENERAL INFO & RULES

A Dean-focused
SCHMOOPFEST!

PIMP IT!

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!

*resists bravely for about three seconds*

Oh, who am I kidding?

♥

I haven't been mean to Dean in, like, three whole weeks (well, maybe a bit in my WIP, but I'm not counting that one 'cause I was even meaner to Sam). This must be remedied! And then there will be schmoop, to counteract the meanness. ;)

Yayyy. I'm EXCITED!

This is very tempting. In fact, I got an idea for a little fic last night when I went to bed that would qualify for this. I've never done a challenge before though. *iz nervous*

Oh! Schmoop challenge! SO EXCITED. I love Schmoop!

The power of schmoop (and whump!) compels you!

Eeeee. Well, I think you should do it! ;D It's a super easy-going challenge, so I think it would be a good intro to the world of challenges.

::PEER PRESSURE::

I know, right? Nomnomnom.

I wanna just be really super nice to wee!Dean and make up for all the angst I've written in my lifetime.

WAIT. EXCELLENT IDEA APPROACHING. Now I must go write.

Hee, awesome. I love it already. ::smishes wee!Dean::

Hee! And I'm such a reluctant writer, but sometimes the Muse wants to write! Then there's no stopping her. :P

Btw, I pimped this over at my journal.

So when do I claim a prompt? Do I go ahead and leave a comment here now with my idea or what? Sorry I'm such a newbie at this. *hides*

Yay, thanks for the pimp!

You totally don't have to claim a prompt; just write and post it to this post or leave a link to it here when you're done. ;)

I'm gettin' there. I think I'll work on that as soon as I've finished chapter 7 of RiD. Two chapters in three days ain't bad, right? Oy.

(I really need some more hurt!Dean icons...)

da;lfjasdf! I KNEW there was something that I forgot to do at work the other day - read the latest installment of that. *smacks self*

Ha! Schmoop! I can do this! Oh, yes. Dean and schmoop!

Apparently having an argument with my boyfriend makes me want to write about Dean suffering in his sleep from memories of hell while Sam holds him. This is set, obviously, early season four, after “Lazarus Rising”.

Dean's been back from Hell five days. Sam can hardly believe it. Four months of pain and suffering, of wondering what torments his brother's suffered all for Sam, and now he's back. The hand-print from an angel of all things, is seared into his brother's shoulder, raised red and angry, and Sam can still hardly believe he's here.

Sam kneels beside his brother's bed, silent, his eyes fixed on his brother's form. His eyes track over his brother's body, noting his sunken eyes, his pale face, the sweat beading his brow. Dean is hunched in on himself, his limbs folded close to his body. The way Dean is laying makes Sam think of a small child trying to hide from its punishment. All Dean needs to do is curl into a ball, and he fits the part.

A small noise escapes Dean's lips. Sam wouldn't have even heard the sound if he weren't kneeling so close to Dean. Sam watches, horrified, as Dean's body shakes. Another moan---no, Sam can't deny the noise for what it is----a CRY falls from Dean's lips.

Sam's heart stops for one beat, before it begins thumping a wild tempo. The second cry seems to have opened the floodgate, and Sam is frozen, frozen, as Dean begins to thrash and twitch, his hands curled into fists, tears rolling down each cheek. An agonized scream escapes from between clenched lips and Dean's whole body clenches tight before he collapses back onto the bed, tears falling faster.

Dean's words spur Sam into action. With Dean's “No, you're hurting me!” ringing in his ears, and the terrible knowledge that Dean is remembering something truly awful making his heart race, there is no power strong enough on this earth capable of making Sam stay still.

Dean wakes just as Sam finishes curling his lanky body around his brother. He stiffens as he realizes someone is pressed against him, but he calms after Sam smooths shaking fingers through his hair. Sam knows that if Dean weren't half asleep and disoriented from his memories he'd never allow Sam to comfort him like this. He would never let Sam hold him.

“You're going to be okay Dean. I won't let anyone or anything hurt you.” Sam vows, and he means it. He'll do everything in his power to repay his brother for bringing him back, for suffering unimaginable agonies for him. But most of all, he'll keep his promise because it's Dean and there's nothing he won't do for his brother.

Sam pulls Dean even closer to him, wraps his arms even tighter around his brother, and kisses his cheek. His promise burns nova bright in his mind, mixed with his love for Dean. He continues to rock Dean in his arms, keeping him safe. Letting him feel how much Sam loves him.

It is enough, for now.

This is so unfair... I have other fics to be working on!
** runs off to whip up something (hopefully) short.**

Hee, awesome!

Awwww, I wish post-hell!Dean had gotten some cuddles like this on the show.

Also, this is our first entry, woo hoo!

YAYYY.

Absolutely wonderful. ♥

Thanks! I wrote this really fast, but I like how it turned out!

Thanks for the comment!

*is tempted*
