I do remember seeing someone say (anonymously) that they wrote Victor into a story without knowing he was black. This is not a headspace I can even vaguely understand.
AHAHAHA. WHAT?
I mean, umm.
Damn.
Hey, peeps. I haven't been reading SPN for a while, as most of the good plotty gen writers buggered off to other fandoms and I was accidentally devoured by Who, Sherlock, and Cabin Pressure (no, seriously, I haven't even been checking the Dark Angel stuff out at the Pit of Voles because of it).
Other than Anne's story, which is bookmarked on my to-do list, what's some good SPN gen out there? Any recs from the last year? (I'm not in a D/C mood and don't do the Wincest--not for moral reasons, as anyone who has read my AtS stuff knows, or anyone who, umm, gets the Holmescest links I send them on a regular basis ALSO knows, cough--but because I can't see it as in character if there's no demonic possession involved.)
I have seen someone do a photomanip for SGA in which they got the race of a character wrong.
Those eyes!
Unrelatedly I wish either people would stop writing mean-spirited Cas/Meg or Dean/Anna "fixit" fics, or I would stop clicking on them. Either would work.
He is one gorgeous kid.
This is a very important piece of filmmaking. I think Misha has a future in PSAs.
Plei, the gen fic that immediately leapt to mind was Wrong Time from last year's summergen exchange. Yes, it has been jossed, but it is wonderfully haunting.
From this year's big bang, there's Muted Light, which is centered around "Appointment at Samarra." I'm not quite done reading it, but so far it is excellent. Also, I am so tickled that you have my fic on your to-read list, I can't even tell you. I hope you like it.

What kind of fixit are you talking about here? I'll admit I'm never a fan of mean-spirited anything, but what are the writers trying to fix?

The idea that Dean or Cas would ever look askance at anyone but each other. I suspect it was the same author or same clique fixing both "missteps" in quick succession, but it was really nasty each time, and I need to PAY ATTENTION TO AUTHOR'S NOTES.
This is so wrong, yet pretty good: [link]
You're very welcome, Plei! I'm reading through a few more of the gen BBs this weekend, and I'll let you know if any others strike my fancy.
