the first one was the best in the TS verse, because there was actually a story there

It was a pretty decent Cas, but still, the story was all about how cool Dean was for his side of the relationship.

Amy, both things happened. Castiel had the advantage in that he could reconstruct what he lost (by reading the books, etc), but Dean was so broken that he could never get his back. Cas said so twice, because he was keeping have Dean have the same day each time. Because he's a nice guy like that.

Julie, did you read the turducken stories?

Oh! I get it now. I didn't get the book clue.

God, it really was sad. ::sniffle::

Is there a pie tag? I mean, if there's one for turducken. Come on, people.

Turducken ended up not being cracky at all. Just some random tag thrown onto a Secret Angel Exchange. So disappointing.

There is, however, a pie sharing genre tag: [link]

But, why oh why, is there no tag for like "action" or "violence" or "whump"? Because the H/C tags are mostly schmoop and spend too much time on the C without giving H it's due consideration.

Young John Winchester is on uStream right now, and he's got a REALLY close-cropped buzz cut.

There's also a fic that is slashing Sam with a man purse. the murse loves Sam, apparently.

That fic totally scarred me. Yet, I read all the way through.

ita has met her match, and his name is Murse?

Just...poor poor Sam.

Something I'd like to remind writers of:

• The Winchesters were not familiar with demons pre-series. We get to see them wrangle with exorcisms and the idea of possession.
• If memory serves, John doesn't find out the YED is a D until pretty late
• They didn't tangle with any vampires pre-series.
• Dean has been to New Orleans (I actually sent an author a PM about this--her whole fic was based on the post-finale premise that Dean went there for the first time and I felt bad)
• They didn't use salt rounds until the Stanford years

It's all there in season 1, seriously. I can't believe your betas don't catch this.

(The fic I'm reading right now has too much pre-series demon activity, plus salt rounds while Dean is 13)

The daggomus-prime DCBB art is up. I find her likenesses are pretty far off, but still...my god, that's awesome art. Oh, the mood and the colour.

DCBB has had some ridiculously great art so far. And the quality of the stories has been decent. Of the ones that I've actually read, I think I've liked upwards of 50%. Which is better than the main big bang.

Haven't read the story that accompanies that art yet. I'll start it before work, maybe finish during lunch.

Finished the D/C story in the main big bang and it was overwrought and ridiculous. Ugh. With bonus creeper Cas.

I'm noticing a trend of people just throwing their fic out there unbeta'd, and they know it, and it feels so lazy, and yet even the ones that say they are are rife with typos, formatting errors, and wonky canon and mythology. Even that DA crossover had demons being killed with iron.
