Yeah, I kind of agree with you about her characterisation, Plei. I haven't read any of her stuff in donkey's years.
I just got partway through a D/C BB story with no Sam. I can't work out why there's no Sam. It doesn't make any sense. The premise is that there is a reality where John never dragged Dean into hunting and the striga happened to him. Cas throws himself back into this reality and ends up his guidance counsellor in high school.
Her writing's too soft-edged
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this?

Too... marshmallow-y? Wet? The characters are slightly more idealized than I like to see, fewer shades of grey and fewer rough edges.

For me, she's a little Hallmark card, depending on the story. Sometimes I've enjoyed her stuff here and there, but usually it's very idealized, as Plei said.
Ahhh... I get it. I also don't see that style fitting all that well with the 'verse, for the most part (although there would obviously be exceptions).
She kinda reminds me of K Hanna Korossy (or whatever her name is). Her characterisation never evolved with the show, even though she was supposed to be setting her stories later and later in canon. They always seemed very S1 innocent. Also, they cuddled a lot.
I'm excited about apokteino's story, but it's a 74,000 wordcount!
obstinatrix still has a bit of a snotty bit on the main post "see masterpost of for
unwarnings".
Show! I actually don't want them to head back to the Campbell's compound, mostly because I don't want to be reminded of their having existed (sorry Mary!).
In this morning's rerun news, I want Dean to run into Patrick (from the aging episode) and ask him to find out what happened to Castiel (or do a spell or something), and then have angry, grieving, hot, solace sex. Or something like that.
I like the way you think, Amy. Shocking, I know.
