Yay, Dana!!!!

I got turned off SPN casefic and onto AUs early on, because of some writer I had who wrote inter-episode stories, but kept her characterisation at S1+Dean and Sam share a bed for platonic comfort. Her monsters were very unsatisfying, as well as her reluctance to follow the show when she said she was.

I think that's when I went on my Dean/OMC binge as well. But now I'm so Dean/Cas it's ridiculous, except for the crazy people out there. D/C & Sam is the magic solution. I get sad when Sammy boy isn't around--please pair him with Jessica or Sarah, no Amelia or OCs.

Interestingly to me, I read my third Dean & Cas plan a wedding fic--the first was the pumpkin cake one, and the second my last big bang fill, and the third really similar to both, called Amethyst. I guess that makes it a thing, huh, organising Sam and Jess's wedding?

Maybe it's that the MCU has bigger ideas more easily translated into different stories, and SPN is too specific?

So AUs don't remedy that for you? I'm very judgmental--if Garth wants to be a vet instead of a dentist, I'm perplexed. As with all the Jo/Charlie and Charlie Winchester stories. THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK.

Okay, I guess I'm not that into bigger ideas.

There are people out there who want MORE Sam/Amelia than the show itself gave us?!?

WORD.

I'm trying to explain the difference between OOC and not and audience satisfaction on IO9. Dean/Lisa is in character, even if demonised, and Sam/Amelia is highly absurd. Poor actress. It's only some of her fault--if Sam had kept looking for Dean during the relationship, that'd be a bit better.

Go Dana!

Who defaulted on Yueltide (within the grace period, at least), because she had the horrible realization there was just no way she would have time to write a story?

hangs head in shame

No shame!

That's sad, but you didn't leave somebody hanging.

I was worried I'd have to default on one of my DCBB authors, so I know the fear of letting people down. But I pulled out both decent and my most popular AO3 art post, so I'm okay with the despair I entertained. But I feel for people who couldn't. It's real.

I also achieved a Yuletide draft and posted the thing tonight! Which is good, because I'm getting on a train on Friday and pretty much won't have internet again until the 28th.

Yeah, we've started to get tags from Yuletide fics. Some of which we can't figure out what to do with until they go live.

Which is awfully exciting, as a reader.
