I should have said, the siren ep doesn't mean at all that he *doesn't* like boys, but in that particular case (at least in the time frame of episode), it was purely fantasy fraternal for Dean (I think).

If Dean had stayed with the siren for any length of time, there would have been sex, is my bet.

God damn, Petite Madame! How so constantly creative: [link] ? She, hands down, has the most diverse ideas I've seen in a fan artist in any fandom yet. Is it fair that someone with so talented a brush has all those, or is it justice?

Either way...

She doesn't write fics per se--are there any SPN fan artists out there that do?

are there any SPN fan artists out there that do?

Ones who write and illustrate their own fic, or ones who sometimes write fic and sometimes post art?

Active in both art and writing in whatever way.

I don't know if the events in this fanart [link] are speculation or spoiler, though it has been reported that the main character will be back before season's out.

THAT EVENT. I would love it.

I would love it.

As would I.

I do SPN fanart now, but I ceased working on fic (for the fandom, not completely) when I started working on the art. It wasn't an intentional cessation - it just sort of worked out that way.

It's much easier to ingest a wide range of fan art than fic, even though I slog through some awful writing and zoom past the art I don't like. I've seen a couple people illustrate their own stories, but I just can't remember having bumped into pictures from someone currently arting and stories from them currently writing.

Does the inspiration pull you in different directions? Do you feel like an idea is better shared visually? Or are you just getting more pictures in your head than detailed scenarios?

Hell, how are you inspired? What was the last picture you published (link, pls!) and why did you do it? Are you working on anything now?

eta: unrelatedly, I'm still unable to avoid reposting SPN entries on my dash with the effective comment of "your idea is really emo and sweet, but if you'd been paying attention to the canon as opposed to just that one picture/five minutes/episode you'd see a different pattern." But I'm pretty sure more people will be all over the feels they get from Dean sleeping clothed because of Mary, as opposed to remembering that he slept under the covers in underwear from season one through three.

Perhaps the greatest indignity escalating threat levels have inflicted on us - Dean feeling the need to wear jeans to bed!

I'm not going to say I don't miss his tightly-clad ass, but on the other hand, the un-highlighted after effects of the Hell trauma are one of my favourite things about the show. How long did they take to call out he was afraid of dogs?

Bless. I have a lot of favourites, clearly, but that's a bigge (and it encompasses drinking too).

I think right now, I'm finding the act of drawing more satisfying and soothing than the act of writing. Right now, writing just sort of feels like a slog. As for inspiration, I tend to work both art and story off of quick visual flashes of a moment. With writing, I have to figure out how the hell to get to that moment, and where things go after. With art, I can focus on the moment and imply a lot of stuff that happens in the before and after.

Most recently, I've submitted sketches to the SPN artist swap. They're not my best work, but I found it enjoyable, and it was fun to draw something that was straight-up horror. As for current projects, I just finished up a very time-consuming original piece, but I'm going to be participating in both the SPN crossover big bang and the main BB.

Are you going to be doing any of the BBs this year?

Oh, it drives me nuts when people fixate on one particular moment that feeds their 'feels' and ignore everything else about the character or canon.
