ohsam!
I am very happy to announce that we are, after several months' absence, holding a two-week celebration of Sam's birthday, starting May 2nd!
The challenge? Produce fanworks of any kind featuring Sam-centered hurt/comfort on the theme of birthdays. It can be about Sam's birthday, or anyone else's birthday, so long as you make Sam suffer for it. ;)
There is NO LIMIT to what you can produce. No minimum or maximum wordcount for fic, and we encourage all our artists/podficcers/vidders/other talented fandom folk to go crazy. You can post at any time starting on May 2nd all the way through May 16th, using the &birthday challenge tag. If you post after that, you can tag as usual, or else use the &amnesty tag as well.
I am opening this post up for prompts as well. Please specify if your prompt is for fic, art, vid or something else. That being said, if for instance an artist is inspired by a fic prompt, you should feel free to go ahead and use it.
:::ETA::: The prompts are for inspiration only! If you have an idea that isn't prompted here, you are encouraged to produce a fanwork for it!
Do help us to spread the word, too! The lovely and talented![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quickreaver has made us a lovely banner to help with this. :)
:::Further ETA:::
To those who feel disappointed by the "limited" scope of this challenge, there will be general comment-fic memes happening in the future, as well as other challenges. However, I do hope that, instead of feeling as if all your hopes and dreams have been crushed, you view this instead as an opportunity to spread your creative wings and be as liberal as you'd like in interpreting the theme of a "birthday."
And for those of you who wish to offer your services as beta, please comment HERE. Remember to provide a way to contact you that you check regularly! Or track your comment thread, or check back here periodically.
:::3rd ETA:::
Due to LJ being intermittently down for the better part of a week, the challenge is being extended so that it ends Sunday, May 19th instead. Happy writing!

Date: 2013-04-29 06:00 am (UTC)Set after 8x20: Charlie takes care of Sam while Dean follows up on a lead about Kevin. Sam confesses that he's scared that this will be his last birthday since the trials are making him so sick. Charlie decides to make Sam's last birthday a great one, complete with cake and a present, which turn out to be a complete set of Harry Potter books, which she then reads to Sam.

Date: 2013-04-29 12:35 pm (UTC)Prompt: Season 2. During their grief over the loss of their dad, and the continuous hunt searching for the demon Dean forgets all about Sam's birthday, and really Sam wants it that way. It isn't until Bobby calls asking to speak to the 'Birthday Boy' that Dean realizes his mistake.

Date: 2013-04-29 02:13 pm (UTC)Prompt: There's another reason Sam's squirrely about his diet. When he was a teen, they managed to have two dimes to rub together for a decent meal, so John let him pick out a restaurant for his birthday dinner. Of course Sam gets food poisoning. (This is the very reason I can no longer eat crepes or chimichangas.)

Date: 2013-04-29 02:59 pm (UTC)Nothing good ever happens on Sam's birthday and he's spent most of the day waiting for something bad to happen. So when he finds himself being thrown out of a moving car, he's not even surprised. Cue some nasty road burns etc and of course tons of h/c.

Date: 2013-04-29 03:20 pm (UTC)Curtain!fic kinda sorta but not really-- Sam and Dean close Hell and settle into their respective hunter/scholar legacies in the Batcave. It’s pretty awesome for awhile. Then Sam develops early-onset Alzheimers. Dean watches him fade and does his best to keep their lives as normal as possible, including birthday parties. Especially birthday parties. Sam/Dean or SamandDean.

Date: 2013-04-29 04:17 pm (UTC)Sam gets a papercut or something, and Dean puts a bandaid on his finger with a birthday balloon attached.

Date: 2013-04-29 05:56 pm (UTC)Sam is lying around his room in the batcave on his birthday feeling all consumptive from the Trials. Dean gets sick of tripping on the piles of books Sam keeps by the bed and builds him a bookcase.

Date: 2013-04-29 06:14 pm (UTC)Dean and Jess have the same birthday. Sam tries to put on a brave face and celebrate it as just Dean's. But this year he has a fever and the self-control isn't there. There's crying.
