My slide to the Dark Side continues: aka New Community!

[ratherastory]

mimblexwimble had a fantastic thought the other day, that there should be a community like hoodie_time but for Sam.

I was ALL OVER that idea like white on rice, because hoodie_time is seventeen different kinds of awesome, and so I volunteered to help.

My flist probably knows by now that I am a fan of equal-opportunity whump, and there isn't nearly enough hurt!sick!Sam out there. Or, if it's out there, then it's not circulating enough.

So with mimblexwimble, ohsam was created. We borrowed ideas shamelessly from other communities, especially hoodie_time , and now that all our admin stuff is in place and our ducks are in a row, it's time to start spreading the love!

I wish I had the html skills to use the ohsam banner to make a link. Perhaps when I get home tonight I'll manage it.

YAY!!! I have always been of the opinion that Sam does not get enough love (or, you know, our form of love, which is kind of more like abuse). I'm a Dean girl but that doesn't mean I don't love Sam! That's one reason I've always loved K Hanna Korossy, because of her equal-opportunity whumpage.

I'm very excited about this. I'm going to check it out now :)

Equal-opportunity whump FTW!

I like her stuff quite a bit too. :)

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU GUYS FOR THIS? DO YOU? I AM SO ALL OVER THAT! SO MUCH THAT I CAPSLOCKED!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! IT MAKES ME ALL CAPS-LOCKY TOO!

Now I have to make sure people go and pimp it around. :)

[werty30.livejournal.com]

That`s great!!!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

YAY!

*does a little dance*

Oh, here, btw. The html for the image link is wee.

{a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ohsam/"}{img src="http://www.thisiswhereyourimageishosted.jpg"}{/a}

Just switch the { } for the usual > < stuff and put the correct image link in there, of course.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Ooh, THANK YOU!

[wave-obscura.livejournal.com]

What a fabulous idea! This makes me sooooooooooo happy! I don't hurt Sam enough. Now I feel inspired too do something really terrible to him, thank you >:).

Yes, we needs banner so we can PIMP!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOD that would be EPIC! Go write! Go write right now!

*bounces and squees happily in a corner*

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

Oh so very cool!

I've already hurt Sam plenty... is this going to be a place where fic is posted or just recs?

(either is good!)

Thanks for doing this!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It's a place for posting fic, definitely. There will be once-a-month rec posts by the mods, with occasional bonus rec posts as the fancy strikes us.

[brigidmn.livejournal.com]

Squees!! I've just seen Bad Day at Black Rock, and of course now have a sam!bunny percolating.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

YESSSS!

*arm-pump*

WRIIIIITE IIIIIIT! Then post it to the comm!

*dances*

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I agree completely! Sam needs some equal time, here! I love the idea!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? mimblexwimble suggested it, but I'd been toying with the idea myself for a while, which is why I jumped all over her LJ like a giant freaking-out jumping thing. ;)

[katwoman76.livejournal.com]

there isn't nearly enough hurt!sick!Sam out there
I second that. There are so many more Dean!Girls out there. Sammy needs some more love. And fic-wise that means, we need more hurt!sam-stories.

I wish I had the html skills to use the ohsam banner to make a link.
I can help you with that - just copy the code below:

This is what it looks like:


this is the code behind that:

<a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ohsam/" title="Oh, Sam">
<img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy42/mimblexwimble/ohsam/ohsam3.png" alt="Oh, Sam" />
</a>

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Woo! Thank you!

[melanth0.livejournal.com]

YES.
YES.
YES.

fffff.
I am most definitely a Dean girl, but unlike every other Dean girl ever, I prefer Samwhump, and there is so little of that around.
so, allow me to repeat.

YES.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

:D

I am a BIG fan of Sam!whump. I am saddened that there isn't more quality stuff of that type around. With any luck, this community will rectify that!

Please feel free to pimp it around! mimblexwimble has provided a banner, and I think there might be one somewhere in the comments to this entry too. :)
