Hi there, fellow WC Hurt/Comforteers!
In recent conversations with some fellow h/c addicts (
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
doctor_fangeek, elrhiarhodan, hoosierbitch, ivorysilk specifically), we all realized a common obsession: kidfics. More specifically, those stories inspired by de-aging and/or childhood experiences. Nothing gets the H/C juices flowing quite like a tug at the heartstrings, and what does that better than an adorable wee!Neal fic. Am I right?So we thought it'd be fun to run a separate 'fest - apart from our usual promptfests - in case there are those of you out there who are similarly like-minded. Call it the post-holiday blues, but I need some cuteness!
We're going to do this one like the recent Advent Calendar - that is, if you want to participate, just sign up for a date, then post your fic and/or a link to it on that date. It's that easy.
Rules, you ask? We ask so very little:
- It'd be nice if there was a hurt/comfort aspect to the story. H/C is pretty inherent in de-aging stories, but I'll let you slide if your wee!Moz fic is just too damn cute.
- But for the love of all that is holy: NO OFFSPRING OR LONG LOST SIBLINGS! We've seen those stories featuring Neal's long-lost daughter named Madison or Monroe or some other dead President's name, and they hurts us, Precious.
- Many of our other, more obvious fest rules apply, i.e. no RPF, be nice, all pairings/ratings/crossovers welcome. Details here.
ETA: Regarding postings:
And you should, of course, post your link to the story to the main comm in the usual way, for extra attention/readership. We like that.

Date: 2012-01-25 04:51 pm (UTC)Um... I dunno. I need to graduate from grad school and get a job, so I dunno. The problem is that since I've never written that type of fic before, it would probably take me a long time of thinking, writing, editing, even with a short word count...
So... I'll think about it. heh.
And yes, I will be reading it all. :D

Date: 2012-01-25 05:17 pm (UTC)Oh! Also, do the stories need to be de-aged, or can we also do just kid!fic h/c?

Date: 2012-01-25 05:25 pm (UTC)You can do kid!fic, but the only rule is that the kid in question be one of the characters - no offspring please. Do an elementary school AU with wee!Peter pulling wee!Elizabeth's pigtails, or let's see what teen!Neal was up to when he was 15, but for the love of all that is holy, no long-lost Madison Kenzie Caffreys!
(And I think we are of similar minds on that score, anyway, yes? heh)

Date: 2012-01-25 05:44 pm (UTC)How does this work? Can I just get a date assigned and then post the link to a master post of the story? (Sorry, I'm relatively new here, and I'm never posted a story in LJ).

Hurray, a new peep on the comms!
Yes - just pick a date and that's the date you can post a link to your story on this post (resolves to add to this post - duh!). It doesn't matter to us where the story "lives" a link is just great.
I'll then add it to the list in the main entry above for easy access for all.
