[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'm envious of ita's moon.
My only fannish claim to fame is recently discovering my old college housemate (twenty years ago!) is one of the Eureka creators. That resulted in a brief twitter exchange, no moon.
It is 95 degrees in my house. This is too warm. Clearly, the only thing to be done in this heat is read fic.
So, ehab, my college friends know your college friend! We're totally connected. I love the world.
The world is amazingly vast and tiny all at once.
Isn't it, though? So totally random.
DCBB artist claims. Sassy! Wincest! Lisa bashing! Sam/Gabriel!
Actually, not that much. Most of them are prompts I'm curious about if the writing's solid. Except, seriously, Lisa bashing? You write an AU, and you have to bash Lisa? GTFO.
Somebody--dotfic? ignipes?--wrote several Wee!chester stories wherein Sam had a stuffed rabbit named Mr. Bun. Either pulled out of the rummage at Pastor Jim's church, or off a Goodwill table, IIRC.
pyrebi's librarian/mechanic DCBB was pretty cute. Even if she did fall back on librarian and mechanic. And I can handle Sam/Gabriel in AUs, it seems, although it is way gay in a D/C story.
Even if she did fall back on librarian and mechanic.
This would be awesome if Sam counted as the librarian, and he was interested in a girl that had mad skillz around cars. (Without it being Dean gender swap or AU).
kaziwen's "Momentum" was decent, though it really needs more of something. Definitely some refinement, a little more micro-focus (I felt like I was reading from afar, and not *in* the story), and better . . . balance? It opens with a completely unneccessary sentence about pancakes that has tons of irrelevant detail, and then is vague in other areas that pertain to actual plot and character movements. The end is pretty kick-ass, with added bonus of love saving the day.
But in retrospect, I didn't buy the drama that was drummed up over the kidnapping of Dean, when the angel could have said straight-up "I'm on your side".
Totally random observation: I watched No Exit this morning (Jo and the job in Philly with the serial killer ghost), and never before realized that when Jo is pressed up against Dean in the walls, Dean says, "I really should have cleaned the pipes."
Naughty.
On reflection (not rereading yet), I appreciate that bauble's fic dealt with the Dean/Cas relationship after the initial whirlwind of passion and apocalypse passed. That this thing could have been intense, and intensely physical, with not a lot of thought or talking, and a lot of assumptions, until it gets to the point where their in a relationship without the non-physical foundations that involved talking. That there can be sexual compatibility and "I love you" and "I would die for you", but not the rest of the meat that makes up a solid relationship and provides a basis to expel the insecurities.
