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!

[rainylemons.livejournal.com]

1.) All of time and space
2.) Cas
3.) coming apart a thread at a time as he is somehow set loose on the currents of the universe and constantly traveling to the end of time and space with only Cas able to find him, here and there, now and then, to be with him and reassure him that he is not forgotten

Erm...that's an h/c plot. I swearz.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

OH. MY. GUUUUH. Make me weep, will you??

[rainylemons.livejournal.com]

1.) somewhere beneath the stars with the sound of a thousand cicadas, chirping crickets, and frogs
2.) the shade of Jessica Moore

Sometimes, Sam still thought that he could smell her perfume.

Jess hadn’t been like most girls that Sam had met at college; Emily had shelves and shelves of ornate little perfume bottles, a different smell for every occasion, but Jess had only ever had the one little bottle. She’d told him once, curled up together in their bed and enjoying the silence, that it was the same one that her mother had worn when she was alive.

It was a fresh scent, and though the bottle said Indian Night Jasmine, all Sam could ever pick out was the faint smell of summer. It reminded him of long days and short nights spent tangled up together, left him feeling heartsick and weak at the knees, and he felt tears in his eyes every morning he woke up and couldn’t smell it on his pillow.

*
When Sam first packed up his stuff and headed for Stanford, he was miserable. He’d expected some kind of relief at finally escaping from underneath his father’s thumb, some kind of joy at the knowledge that he was finally living the dream – he’d done what few others his age could ever hope to do and scored himself a full ride at an Ivy League college and he should have been happy.

Instead, all he’d felt was homesick.

The last thing he’d been expecting was to miss the long string of motel rooms and diner booths that had coloured his childhood; to silently long for the cool leather of the Impala, the long stretch of the backseat that he’d claimed as his own, cultivated into a nest of well-worn blankets and tattered books. Perhaps the most glaring absence had been that of his brother; the even breaths in the bed next to his and the warm voice that had pulled him from more nightmares than he could count.

He’d thrown himself into his classes, turned to books instead of making friends, because every smiling face had felt like a betrayal to the cocky grin that he’d left behind. And then had stumbled into his life, with her beautiful blonde hair and her radiant smile, and Sam’s willpower had faltered in the wake of her easy humour.

Within days, she’d wound herself so tightly into his life that it felt like she’d always been a part of it. Nobody would ever come close to that hole that he’d created when he’d walked out of a small, run-down house and promised himself that he’d never go back, but Jess mad him forget. Around her, he felt more normal than he ever had before – felt more like the people that he’d always watched with envy, had always longed to be.

For the first time in his life, Sam had been truly happy.

And then came the fire.

3. Stigmata

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Oh. Wow.

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

2. Dean, teachers, students
3. Betrayal

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

1. A cage (at a zoo? creator's choice!)
2. Dean, John
3. "So some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
O and all you folks, you come to see
You just stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild. And my bones are steam
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free"

-- Song For Zula by Phosphorescent

(pls no evil!sam)

[indiachick.livejournal.com]

So much love for this.

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

3) Truly terrifying/vicious carnivorous clowns, bite wounds

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Filled: Some coulrophobia art for you here (http://reggie11.livejournal.com/4529.html)

I have no idea why I did this because clowns freak me the hell out!

[rainylemons.livejournal.com]

1.) the green, wild earth
2.) Lucifer, a bitter, beaten Michael if you choose, but not wearing Adam, sorry
3.) lonliness, isolation, near madness, and the agony of being Lucifer's vessel and only seeing another human face when Lucifer confers, bullies, grandstands to/with another angel

[rainylemons.livejournal.com]

1.) an apiary
2.) Dean, bees
3.) anaphylactic shock and the need to get the f away from BEES.

I just like saying it. BEES.

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

"Dean, bees" —LOL. He's allergic to Dean, but it's okay, the bees will comfort him!

[indiachick.livejournal.com]

1.Heaven/Hell/Hell disguised as heaven
2. Mary
3. Mental monsters, past guilts, psychological pain

[rainylemons.livejournal.com]

1.) the frozen, cold streets of anywhere at night
2.) a raggedy kitten
3.) hypothermia, hunger, and, oh, let's say amnesia
( Yes, you can have Dean or Cas for the Hail Mary) if you so desire
Gen, pls

[rainylemons.livejournal.com]

Uh, don't eat the kitten. Lmao

[khakigrrl.livejournal.com]

1. Grey Gardens. (FYI: http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0073076/)
2. John and Dean.
3. Ghost possession.

[khakigrrl.livejournal.com]

3. Skin reaction/allergy to the face paint from the Braveheart scene!

[strgazr04.livejournal.com]

1. Diner/motel/hospital
2. Dean, doctors, etc
3. After Dean drags him to a very meat-heavy restaurant he saw advertized on a billboard proclaiming best steaks/burger/whatever, Sam ends up forced to eat a Dean-ish meal since there were no healthy menu options. His body isn't used to this kind of food and he gets very sick. Like a vegetarian accidentally eating something with meat in it after yrs of not eating meat. Or maybe he ends up with salmonella poisoning or something. VerySick!Sam and GuiltyBigBro!Dean ensues.

[strgazr04.livejournal.com]

1. MOL Bunker
2. Dean
3. Sam gets sicks with a childhood type illness (like chickenpox or something similar) after the trials since his blood was purified. Maybe now he no longer has the antibodies to keep up his immune system?

[madame-naan.livejournal.com]

aw, how cute!

[strgazr04.livejournal.com]

1. MOL bunker
2. Dean
3. Hair loss (maybe from the trials?)

[strgazr04.livejournal.com]

1. Motel parking lot or maybe Bobby's house
2. Dean (& Bobby?)
3. The boys get in a bad argument over something (John's death? Sam not looking for Dean in Purgatory? Ruby?). Dean leaves and goes to take off in anger. Sam goes after him to stop Dean. It's late and dark. Dean doesn't see until too late when Sam gets too close to the Impala and Dean accidentally hits him or runs over his foot or something. Author preference on injury type.

[winchesterpooja.livejournal.com]

Awww frick, me wants! :') Well, we can be happy that I'm atleast done with my exam. :p

[strgazr04.livejournal.com]

Just saw this on a YT video where a little girl almost gets kidnapped in a store and fights her way free so...

1. Store or mall
2. Dean and kidnapper
3. Wee!Sam gets lost in the store and almost gets kidnapped. Dean kicks some ass.

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

1. Bakery
2. Dean, thieves, bystanders
3. All Sam was trying to do was get some pie from the town's prized bakery for Dean's birthday. Now he finds himself in the middle of a robbery. He's nearly killed trying to shield a pair of little kids from the gunman with his body.

3. Sam snaps a tendon or hurts a muscle during one of his morning runs. (think of that Life in Motel Rooms spoof vid :D)

[winchesterpooja.livejournal.com]

Uh... not sure how this is done. Are the manips/stories supposed to be posted as comments? And what if I use Photoshop, but can't manip? Can I still make a book cover-ish banner?

Um... anyway, my prompt:

1.) The bunker
2.) Dean, (optionally Charlie and Castiel)
3.) Chemotherapy (for cancer)

... because I'm writing something along those lines and want to see someone else's take on it. Type of cancer, and whether Sam will survive or not is your choice! The research could be hard, but I'm always happy to help. :) (That's allowed, right?) And gen please, although if someone wants to Destiel it up, I wouldn't mind at all. :)

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry, didn't see your questions! Have you figured out that the art can be ANYTHING? a doodle, a masterpiece, drawing, manip, you name it. :D
