May I have a link please? It sounds like something I might be interested in.
And we live to fight another day.

Because books.
Julie, I'm confused -- which story is yours?

Amy, it's Harbor Lights. Quasi-superhero fic, but right now it's a ball of fluff which mortifies me, because I wouldn't set out to read this on purpose. Way, way WIP.
It scares the ever-living bejesus out of me because I've actually been called out by RL aces and now I'm writing in a socially responsible way, or at least trying to, because there are asexual eyes on me!

I guess I should say that I was so certain that this story would be sucktastic and forgettable and that I'd prefer to create a sock puppet and keep the the fact of it's unmemorable existence in the closet.
Fucking ita. Going and liking it and shit.
But, man, the D/C out there is killing me, and the porn is boring me, and and and . . .
The writing is still for crap, though, I apologize.

Hey, everybody starts somewhere. If you like it, do it, is what I say.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Julie, I am dying laughing. I am not sorry for calling you out. Too funny. Hey, write longer chapters, will you?
Hee.
In Unbroken, they don't mention Sam having been in hell. It's 2014 style Dean, and there's a war against heaven and Cas had been a pow he tortured. There's severe Stockholm (ha! Android corrected that to "stockroom") syndrome, and no one approves of the relationship, but if you're an otp sucker, they justify it.

Oh shaddup, ita, will ya? I've been angsting all over the place here. I mean, fuck, we tear fic apart in here, the most I was hoping for was silence.
I did actually kinda like the second story, where Cas gets captured by the FBI who think Dean's a serial killer, and Dean tries to redeem himself. But the first story was harsh.
Thanks, Amy. I am excited about the story, and I hope that at least the ideas transcend my story-telling skills, or, you know, grasp on reality.
But can I repeat the pants-shitting fear of having an ace say "I'll be watching this fic" because I went and placed the word "asexual" explicitly on it?!

Even if they do, it will either be or not be simply his or her experience of asexuality.
The first rule of writing: You can't please everybody all the time. Better to try and please yourself.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I came to that conclusion shortly after poring through Aven's forums, and there are just so many different experiences and preferences that I did feel a lot freer with my intentions and choices. I actually got quite excited over what I learned over there. Basically, the possibilities are endless, and I knew then that there would be some ace's that I wouldn't map to. It took me a while to stop spiraling through all the countless plot bunnies and settle on just the one, but the eyes are still there. Watching.
