Anniversary!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Ahem. I am a day late. Let's pretend I'm not, shall we? (Sorry, this mod has been swamped at work and then got sick as a dog and... yeah. Okay. Moving on.) In that same vein, I swear the master list for the last challenge is going to happen. Gah. /o\

Can you believe it's been two years since this little comm was started? I can't! It's incredible, and it only works thanks to you guys!



Spread the word!

As such, I thought we could do something a little different this time. Instead of straight-up comment-fic, I am opening up this post for all our members to post a Sam-related wish list. It could be fic, art, icons, podfic, anything at all! Just keep it Sam-focused, so we stay within the parameters of the community. This time around, you may request stuff that isn't strictly speaking h/c, so we can have a little latitude to play with our prompts. Still, no RPF/RPS, and please keep it all about Sam. :)

THEN, and this is the important part, go check out other people's wish lists, and see if you can't fulfill someone else's dream! There is no limit on requests or fills, and we would love it if you posted your creations to the comm so we can all share in the gloriousness of Sam!

The format is straightforward:

Name: [your name or username goes here]
A bit about yourself: [optional, but it's nice to know!]
What I'd love to receive: [your wish list goes here; bullet points are your friend, but not mandatory]
Squicks or triggers you'd like your gifter to avoid:

<b>Name:</b> [your name or username goes here] <b>A bit about yourself:</b> [optional, but it's nice to know!] <b>What I'd love to receive:</b> [your wish list goes here; bullet points are your friend, but not mandatory] <b>Squicks or triggers you'd like your gifter to avoid:</b>

Please remember, if your wish list includes potential triggers (non/dub-con, abuse, self-harm, etc.) please grey out your text using the following code and put a warning before. We'd like for ohsam to remain a safe space for all our members. :)

TEXT CODE FOR TRIGGERY PROMPTS

<table bgcolor="grey"><tr><td><font color="grey"> SPOILERY OR TRIGGERY PROMPT/TEXT GOES HERE. </font></td></tr></table>

It will look like this:

SPOILERY OR TRIGGERY PROMPT/TEXT GOES HERE.

Okay, everyone! Go forth and have fun!

and would happily ignore the rest of Supernatural fandom in favor of this community if I could.

... Um. That is exactly what I DO. :D

...I am just really bad at not seeking out things that make me angry.

I DON'T KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

lately I've been SEEKING OUT episode recaps written by sam-haters. I DON'T KNOW.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Why would you do that? I always come out of those with mixed feelings of rage and sadness. ;__;

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE I LIKE FEELING RAGE AND SADNESS, APPARENTLY. i don't even know. i'm such a crazy samgirl that i get riled up beyond all possible reason. i just, like, DO NOT UNDERSTAND not liking him. so i have to read them because otherwise I don't believe they exist.

It's the same reason I keep reading the Television Without Pity recaps, I guess. to make myself mad.

[minviendha.livejournal.com]

...you may have surpassed even me, my friend, and that is pretty impressive. D:

Lucius makes this face at Sam-haters.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

I do terrible things to myself.

[minviendha.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry. D: D: Perhaps someday we will both be able to stop.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

ONE HOPES.

I keep arguing with people over on SpoilerTV about Sam's lack of story this season, the lack of Sam POV the last few seasons, etc. It pisses me off SO MUCH, and there's some seriously ig'nant peeps over there and some Sam-hater Dean-girls who I want to throttle with the combined rage of every baddie that's ever strangled Sam LOL. BUT I CAN'T HELP MYSELF. I can't just let the ignorance stand - I have to speak up and say UM, NO, ACTUALLY, THAT'S BULLSHIT whenever they start hating on Sam or claiming that he gets all the plot.

*le sigh*

I waste so much time over there, making myself inordinately mad.

[vail-kagami.livejournal.com]

I don't do that myself anymore because I accepted that you're not going to change anyone's mind and it's all a waste of energy that I can't afford. But it still pisses me off, and I'm always happy when I see that someone with an opinion more along the lines of my own made the effort of arguing, so thank you!

Heh, me too. ♥
