TRIPLE PLAY at OhSam!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Let’s try something a little different for September at ohsam! We’re calling it the Triple Play Challenge and here’s the deal …






BOOST THE SIGNAL



<center><a href="http://ohsam.livejournal.com/659989.html"><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p125/quickreaver/TriplePlayBanner_zps5764ce43.jpg"></a></center>




Step One: Write a three-part prompt.
1.) Pick a setting
2.) Pick an additional character or characters (Sam is assumed, naturally.)
3.) Pick an H/C scenario, with Sam as the focus. Other characters can share the misery, but Sam should get the brunt of it. That's how we roll. :D

You can make as many prompts as your little heart desires, one set per comment, but it would probably work best if kept simple. For instance: 1.) the Impala, 2.) Dean and Garth, 3.) an infected hangnail, or 1.) autumn 2.) Jessica Moore 3.) allergies.

Step Two: Make visual art! Create a drawing, painting, photomanip, or video based around an offered prompt set. All three points must be addressed. The art can be doodled or extravagantly detailed, artist’s choice. And, of course, Sam should be the primary focus of the H/C. Please reply with your art under the prompt you chose, and either put the art beneath a cut or supply a link to it, with appropriate header and warnings! (See sidebar left.) As subject lines are no more, please begin your fills with the word FILLED and a TITLE in BOLD.

Step Three: Authors are invited to write roughly 300 words for the art. (No one’s going to count so if you run a little under, no big deal. And if you’re inspired to write more? Awesome! Go for it.) Again, please reply with your fic under the art you chose, with appropriate header and warnings. (See sidebar left.) As subject lines are no more, please begin your fills with the word FILLED and a TITLE in BOLD.

If more than one author or artist wants to work with the same prompt, have at it! Steps Two and Three can be inverted, however the end game is to complete all three steps, the Triple Play. But hey, follow where the muse leads you. Most of all, have fun … at Sam’s expense. ;)

The usual courtesies apply:
→ If you notice that your fic is not on the master list after a decent amount of time (say, three days), please poke me in a PM. I might have missed it.
→ Anon posting enabled.
→ NO SPOILERS FOR UNAIRED EPISODES.
→ Play nice - no flaming and no character bashing, period. Any comments that break this rule will be deleted without warning.
→ Feedback is catnip for writers. Leave some author-love!
→ No spam comments.
→ Contact one of the mods if you have a question.
→ Spread the Sam love - pimp this meme!

I want to see / read this...

[of-nightingales.livejournal.com]

Just to clarify: when you say steps 2 and 3 can be inverted, you mean an author can go ahead and write a fic before there's artwork, right?
My manip/drawing skills leave much to be desired, but some of these prompts are making my muse go nuts.

Exactimundo! I will never get between a creator and their muse!

FILLED: The Grandfather's Paradox, 1/2

Dean gets a suite for the night at a dingy motel along a stretch of highway somewhere in Missouri. He grumbles about the extra mouth to feed and house and glares pointedly at you before slamming the bathroom door. Sam smiles sheepishly and says, “He doesn’t mean it,” and fishes a pair of worn flannel pants and a t-shirt for Little Darlings Gentlemen’s Club in Kalamazoo, Michigan out of his bag. He tosses the garments across the bed and apologizes ahead of time that they’ll probably be too big. You shuck your suit and carefully fold it on the table near the door. You roll the cuffs on the too-long flannels and stretch out on the hard pull-out sofa on the other side of the partition separating the living area from the sleeping area and it’s two queens. Sam is already a lump beneath the blankets on the far bed when Dean emerges from the bathroom in his boxers, smelling like toothpaste and cheap complimentary shampoo.

He says, “First one up goes on a coffee run,” then flops on the near bed with an obscene groan, “Night,” then quieter, “Night, Sammy.”

Nothing.

“Sam?”

A garbled, “What?”

“Nothing.”

You thought it would be harder to find rest in this strange new world, with these strange and rough men who claim they are your grandsons, but the exhaustion from your escape, the shock of your surroundings and the truth about what you lost and may still lose sits firmly on your back and presses you into the welcoming darkness of sleep.

It’s several hours later when you jerk awake to screams. You think it’s Johnny having a nightmare, but it’s too deep and too pained and you remember where you are with a pang of remorse as a light goes on in the next room. Dean’s voice, rough with lost slumber, is too low to make out the words, but the gentle cadence is unmistakably parental. You round the partition and Dean is reaching an arm towards Sam. Sam has one hand tangled in his long hair and the other nervously scratching at the skin beneath his eye. Dean brushes his knee with one hand and Sam flinches-- kicks-- and curls inward with a small wince as though bracing for retaliation.

You start, “Is everything--”

“Get out.” Dean doesn’t even turn to face you, “Just turn around and go back to bed.”

“What--”

“I said get OUT,” Dean snaps and Sam scrambles, moaning low in his throat and rounding the far side of his disheveled bed. If you strain, you can make out his frantic mutterings.

“Get away. Get away. Not real. Get away.”

The mantra lasts until he hits the wall, then he’s clawing at the yellowed wallpaper and screaming and bashing his head against the barrier. On the other side, in the next room, there's a bang on the wall and an irate voice tells him to “shut the fuck up.” Dean scrambles to action, ducking punches like an expert and slipping through the holes in Sam’s defenses. He grabs the sides of Sam’s face and holds firmly until Sam’s terrified efforts calm and he’s reduced to twitching and trembling.

“Sam. SAMMY. Listen to me. Listen. You’re good. I’m here. I’m right here and he’s not. Just snap out of it, okay?”

Dean remembers that you’re standing there and shoots a glance over his shoulder, “He’s fine.”

“He doesn’t seem fine.”

Sam lets out one heaving sob and wretches himself out of Dean’s grasp, but the fight is gone from him. He retreats to the corner,-- purposefully-- more aware than he’s seemed in the past several minutes, but still broadcasting the skittishness of a spooked deer. Dean reaches for him again and Sam withdraws.

“No,” he pulls away from Dean’s hand, “Just give me a minute.” He wipes at his nose and it comes away streaked with red. Eyes that know and understand what they see flinch at the soft glow from the lamp between the beds and Sam asks for Advil and a tissue and a minute-- just a fucking minute-- to himself.
