Life don't wait, these days.
Okay, you get a pass.
My sister spent a long time yesterday trying to convince me I was a freak. And ten minutes after we stopped Skyping she was asking me for more recs of Inception slash. So, you know, WHATEVER.
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I really like Immigrant Song, but it's not the fic I'm looking for. --I was also ticked to realize I had finished it and there was no more. I wasn't ready for it to be over!-- It's too much on the verge of crack to fill my angsty emo heart. I have this big giant hole that needs to be filled with something sprawling and plotty and case!ficcy and full of pathos but light on the navel-gazing (oh, how much did I enjoy that we hardly ever, if at all, got a glimpse into any of the character's head in IS?!).
I just finished an overly long fic that reeked of so much belly-button lint, where I learned to skip every fourth paragraph as the author reiterated what was already clearly established in several different ways. And the idiocy that was contrived to keep Dean and Cas apart for half the fic, which suddenly switched gears and straight to "Dean likes it up the ass, watch him ride!"
Also, did anyone know that there are 500 spn vids to "Until We Bleed" by Kleerup? I need to look up the lyrics to see what it was deemed to be so apt.
So, you know, WHATEVER.
Has the pot met the kettle?

I have some very predictable navel-gazing needs to be filled. But the big bang is spoiling me for long fics (if not for quality, boo hoo), because I too, am finding them too short. I think that's why I didn't like the episodic feel of Immigrant Song too much--because it made it feel shorter. But it's a small beef, because it was really well done. And I did feel that we got into their heads by their actions and words pretty well--that one "Cas" in chapter three said so much and broke me entirely.
What I'd really love is a great gen or het fic, for crying out loud. D/C is an easy button for me, but I still like other stuff.

I think the kettle made the pot. Oops.

Honestly, it felt rushed (and with Big Bangs, I'm sure that's true with a lot of the writers trying to meet the deadline). I think she could go back and flesh each "episode" out more, put more meat on it's bones.

IS made me want more Cas/OFC stories.
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't even know where to look for gen/het fic.

I, uh, still need Dean in those. Like, real bad.
I would hate to be a gen or het only reader in this fandom. It would be barely worth showing up for.
Which reminds me--have I read all the non-weecest Weechester fic? There doesn't seem to be much being generated recently. Bummer. That hits a good spot for me.

ita, the fics for spn_summergen will start going up this Saturday. There's always a lot of Weechester (and other pre-series) fic, and it's nothin' but gen. I think there are 70+ authors this time around.

Dean can be in the background, angsting all over the place, ready to pick up the Cas-shaped pieces when she breaks his heart...

The spn_gen comm over on LJ ain't half bad. There's always new stuff coming through every day. Can't say that all of it appeals to me, but still...
