Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IS made me want more Cas/OFC stories.

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...

Maybe after I've gotten over my need to have him in the room, sure. But given how rarely it comes up in fic, good luck getting that out of my system.

There's always new stuff coming through every day.

Ooh, I'll have to look. The gen section of the SPN newsletter is always so depressingly underpopulated. And thanks for the spn_summergen heads up.

I seem to have totally lost my ability to read Sassy. I'm actually offended now. I think it's rude of Sam. And I can't wrap my head around Sam/Gabe, so all the D/C S/G fic I look at funny. I wonder if I will get over that. It didn't use to bother me so much. But it's such an "we're all gay!" pity ship to me now.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yeah, this fandom has spoiled me rotten for gen. Almost all I read is gen. Long, meaty, plotty, delicious gen. Nom nom nom.

Other fandoms, I'm like, "What's with this smexing? Where the hell's the good stuff? Gimme the gen, damn it!"

A lot of the problem I have with much of the gen I've read is that the monsters are stupid and the relationship between the brothers doesn't match the time period the fic is set in. I started reading K Hanna Korossy ferociously, for instance, but her boys never evolve. It was wack.

Because books.

I just can't do Big Bangs unless I love them desperately because I can't read too much at once online. I did read one 120K story (not SPN) over two days, though, because it was so compelling.

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala

I love long meaty stories, and want to read the BB that was mentioned here, but alas no time.

I am coming back sometime this weekend, probably Sat. morning and rereading the thread for the recs.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

This is not the story for this crowd. With one major change--Sam's childhood is marred by renal failure. He needs a kidney, Dean donates--it's fairly canon compliant. Major character death, which I never read, but for some reason I did, and the payoff was pretty awesome. It's gen.

It affected me about as deeply as Ten Thousand Miles another gen story from Big Bang 2009, one that left me devastated, and distracted for days.

Um. I seem to be infected with bleak today. Sorry for shedding all over thread. Waiter! More glitter and unicorns!
