Oh, my other honourable mention is Silent Lucidity from Heart, which just made me sad without me properly processing what it was associated with.
Artist claims for the Gabriel big bang are tomorrow. I hope all the other artists are mad Gabe/Winchester fangirls so there's something left over that I like to read/draw.
That was also a contender. I told you ten was going to be hard for me! Maybe I should reevaluate.
Big Bang! Whee!
And, fuck, I'm signed up for the main big bang. There are 40+ D/C signups right now, and 270+ J2 ones. I'm not going to find SHIT. There's barely any gen or het either, compared to the Wincest/J2 juggernaut onslaught.
I have no idea what I was thinking.
Is that it? I mean, will there be more stories to come, or that's it?
Author signups are done now. It remains to be seen how dropouts affect the ratios, but it's not looking good for stuff I draw.
Take heart! Or something. I can help you weed through the possibilities, too.
I wonder if this is because there's a D/C BB, or why there's a D/C BB. It didn't seem there were
this
few last year. I mean, seriously,
seven
times as much J2 as D/C? That's huge.
And J2 seemed to have dropped off for a while, too. I bet they're mostly AUs.
There's a gen BB, too, but I have no idea if that's pulling a significant number of writers away from the main BB or not.
At least the main BB pre-sorts the fics by genre (J2, Sam/Dean, other slash, het, gen) for the artist sign-ups.
What are the dates for the gen BB?
Nanoochka wrote a thing that wasn't Play Turns Bitter. Nanoochka wrote a thing that was Dean/Cas/Bal. I read it kinda squinty not because I have an issue with the pairing, but because the politics/characterisation was a bit wonky for me.
On the other hand, pr0n.
