Ask the Mods and FAQ

Your friendly neighbourhood mod is back!

This is eventually going to be an FAQ post. Only, as of right now, there aren't any FAQs. So go ahead and ask questions, and we will do our best to answer them. We will then compile the likely-looking questions into an FAQ, and continue answering the others as they crop up.

Have at it!

Is this community allowing Hurt!Dean from Hoodie_Time prompts now? I like Sam angst as much as the next person, but aren't there WWAAYY enough Hurt!Dean sites out there? I'm concerned that maybe this is a trend starting that I am very unhappy with.

The official version? The comm is not taking hurt!Dean stories, no. We do, however, accept stories in which Sam *and* other characters are hurt/ill/what have you, so long as the focal point is Sam.

For the record, one story posted does not a trend make. I've read the fic since you're the second person to point it out to me, and it's borderline. There's enough Sam whump in there that I think the posting is justified in this instance. The author has mentioned that it may become a 'verse, though, and since it seems that focus would be on Dean's injuries, then those stories would not have a place at ohsam.

Does that answer your question to your satisfaction?

I wasn't trying to whine, lol. Just expect a lot more spotlight on Sam than this particular story gives. I am sorry if my concern is inappropriate, but this is one of the very few sites I rely on for Hurt!Sam and this story is, to me, extremely Deancentric.

Oh, I didn't take it as whining. You're not the only one to express concern over the story, and the OP volunteered to take it down of her own accord just now.

When I get home from work I'll be making a post to remind people of the posting/content guidelines for the comm, just to make sure everyone is still on the same page as the mods.

We are definitely keeping this a Sam-centric comm, have no fear. :)
