First person pov bugs, but is it usual for it to be used for more than one character? Because it's hella confusing to be used by three different characters, especially without actually varying the narrative voice (like in The Killer Angels, but that wasn't first person) and not identifying who's scene it is off the bat for every shift. I'm having a hard working through nan's story, whereas the other I couldn't believe there was no more fic, it seemed to fly even though it took me three days to read.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found it pretty easy off the bat to tell who was who, so it didn't detract from the story for me in the least. I think everyone's love and anger needed to be vindicated here, and 1st person the best way at it. But she Sam, I think, talk in present tense about times Cas referred to in the past, and that kinda confused me.
There's another D/C up on the list. I'll queue the both of them up for my hospital visit. I read while they're trying to get an IV line in. They ask what I'm doing I don't tell them "porn", just "random internet". Luckily you can't tell when my pupils dilate.
Reaching out to betas for reversebang. I have 6 possible poses for one of the pics. Which is insane, because that's supposed to be the easy one.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Aside from supernaturalfic over on LJ, are there some other comms that would be likely to accept a gen-ish John/Mary fic? Is there anything on DW I should check out?

Because books.
Did you post on AO3, Anne? I'm constantly surprised by the comments I get over there on stories I never even posted to LJ.

I did post there, as the story is large enough I wanted people to have the ePub option*, but I'm getting little (visible) traffic over there so far.
* Which I LOVE, and which allowed Consuela's fabulous post-LWW Narnia novel to make up a copious chunk of my vacation reading.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
I just came across a BB where the pairing is "Dean/Samstiel" - anyone know what that means? There is an entry in the warning that makes me wary of reading it just to satisfy my curiosity. (And why does the word "curious" lose a "u" when it becomes a noun? So many unanswered questions!)

Maybe Castiel using Sam as a vessel?

That would be my assumption.

Yeah, -stiel is the suffix that indicates who Cas's host is. You'll see Clairestiel a fair bit, for instance. And Thingstiel is the general term for him in a non human host.
Just finished The Crimson Prince, the pirate d/c. Nice enough, but rushed at the end. And there only seems to be one pirate plot.
Okay, gonna try the wreck story now.

Trust my rage
After 8 months, I have watched all of SPN and read something like 16,000 posts in this thread (although I did skim the quote death match from last? summer). I'm sad I have no more show to watch (for now) but I think I can move on to fic and con footage.
The idea of Cas going out like that makes me sad. I guess their bond wasn't profound enough.
Anyway, now that I'm caught up, I feel like I can participate fully in real time instead of always lagging behind or then jumping in randomly.
