Fandom Snowflake Challenge banner


Hearing about how LJ's servers are being moved to Russia has made me kind of nostalgic for the old girl. So when I saw this challenge I thought, heck, let's try this out, for old time's sake.

FYI this is the last post I'll be crossposting to LJ. I'll be archiving my old posts here on DW and I'll move any comms over to DW that aren't already here. This is pretty much what we feared when SUP took over all those years ago. Fuck you, Russia. Me and my queer ass don't have to put up with your shit.

Anyway, let's get to the challenge.

Day 1

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.


I'm going to go with three (or so) fanworks that define me as a creator. For funsies.

The Burn My Sins Away series (HP): I've never been a hardcore Harry Potter fan, but these two stories helped me express exactly what I needed to express when I was writing them.

The More Than Just a Pretty Face series (SPN): This is me to a tee. Why yes, of course if I'm into something that's all about dudes I'm going to write an entire series of stories focused on some actual women. Plus it has baby's first porn, so that's fun and exciting.

Undertow (Narnia): I love this story. Period. Queen Susan at the height of the Golden Age, doing her duty.

Ruination Day (SPN): I've only ever made two vids (I've always planned on making more, but we'll see) and this one's the best. I made it for a friend's fic and it turned out really well.

How do the weeks go by so quickly? I feel like I just did one of these.

A lot of fic in the past few weeks came from [livejournal.com profile] deancasbigbang. The challenge ended last week and there's a full index of this year's stuff over at the community. I haven't had time to read it all, yet, so the interested should definitely check that out and see what I've missed.

Imagine the Ocean--Book One by [archiveofourown.org profile] Damkianna
Hakoda found the boy in the ice eight days before Kya went into labor. Longfic, AU

X-Men: First Class
New Beautiful Things Come by [archiveofourown.org profile] singlecrow
Erik runs a kosher bakery. Charles comes in for baked goods. They play chess, eat meringues, people drop other people's keys down the toilet, and there's mutant performance art. AU, Charles/Erik

Supernatural
The Winchester Revision by [livejournal.com profile] proxydialogue
A recently de-deified Chuck, dying in Italy, decides to revise the story of Sam and Dean and Cas to give it the fairytale ending it deserves as a last hurrah before he goes. In a world with no monsters Dean Winchester goes to the University of Delaware for physics and engineering where a terrible twist of fate lands him in a Feminism and Literature class for one of his general electives. It is taught by a dark haired, blue-eyed professor named Castiel. Sam, meanwhile, is a boy genius who gets into college at sixteen and really is going to be a lawyer this time as soon as he finishes his English degree at UDel and gets into Stanford. But the more Chuck writes, the more he discovers about himself, his characters and the friends he will never see again; because some stories must be told. Longfic, quasi-AU, Dean/Cas

Without a Map by [livejournal.com profile] jaimeykay and [livejournal.com profile] twoskeletons
Set after 5x03 and before 5x04. Dean knows a thing or two about absent fathers, but he didn’t expect Castiel to ask him if he wanted to come along on the search for God. He also didn’t expect to say yes. Cue the two of them going around the world, from mountain peaks to bustling cities to subterranean caverns. They talk with prophets, angels, and deities, but they are running out of leads and running out of time. As the dead ends and red herrings pile up, so do their frustrations, testing their faith in each other and themselves. Longfic

The Incredible Tale of Dean Winchester and the Angel Who Fell From the Sky by [livejournal.com profile] ibroketuesday and [livejournal.com profile] xxamlaxx
Loose retelling of Gabriel García Márquez’s A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings, set in the Pacific Northwest of the late 1920s. Sam and Dean have retired young from hunting and moved to an island, and they're failing miserably in their attempt at being fishermen when a storm sends an angel crashing into their yard. Castiel is a feral creature with black wings and taloned feet, and though initially Dean regards him as a monster, the bond that develops between the two will set them against murderers, reveal a dark secret of angel society, and change both of them forever. Also, Castiel is naked the entire time. Longfic, AU

We had a most excellent Halloween at FGC, but I'll detail that in another post. Presenting, for your consideration, the best of the fics I read in the past week:

Battlestar Galactica

Above and Below by [livejournal.com profile] murron

In addition, there’s the matter of Cas who’s come to mean more to Dean than he wants to admit. Fighting against Hell spawn and fallen angels, passing through burned cities and salt deserts, Dean believes in the success of their mission until their luck runs out and Hell threatens to swallow Cas whole. AU, Longfic, Dean/Cas

The Demiurge by [livejournal.com profile] takadainmate
After the final battle for Heaven, the Winchesters find Castiel. AU, Longfic

Ugh, I think it's going to be one of those weeks. I'm already tired and it's only Tuesday.

But! Enough of that! Onto more important things, like fic.

Supernatural
Harvester of Pain by [livejournal.com profile] cedarcliffe
When Dean Winchester was three years old and walking with undue confidence on unsteady feet, he tripped on the small set of stairs that led up to the narrow front porch of the only house he ever lived in for more than six months.

Faith and Deeds by [livejournal.com profile] teh_helenables
The Miltons own a haphazard produce store, and Mary Winchester is their most frequent customer. Dean/Cas

Props by [personal profile] scaramouche
Ten conversations Castiel and Dean had while under a curse, and one they had after the curse was broken. A fusion with Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Dean/Cas

The Sharp Edge of Earth by [livejournal.com profile] dotfic
Having sold his soul to save Sam's life, Dean finds himself in Hell at the mercy of the demon Alastair, who is intent on breaking him. As Dean takes refuge in his own mind to escape the torture, angels gather, ordered to undertake an unusual mission: rescue The Righteous Man from Hell. Meanwhile, Dean's defenses and his hope start to fail. He thinks no one is ever coming to save him.

He's wrong.

Here's the last fic-bit from the meme I posted weeks and weeks ago!

[livejournal.com profile] dodger_sister asked for something from my The O.C./SPN crossover On The Run, Driving In The Sun. I, of course, was happy to oblige.

As usual, three things and a deleted scene under the cut.

Another case closed, another good kid saved from the lifelong stigma of California’s justice system. )

Since I don't have the benefit of browsing my f-list and reading new fic during the week, I've started gathering it all up on the weekend and pdf-ing it so that I have something I can take to work with me. I've found that somehow limited access has made me appreciate fic more (and comment on it more, too). I thought you all might enjoy reading some of it yourselves.

A couple few weeks ago, right after the annual glut of awesome vids post-VividCon, I put together a vid show for all of us at FGC. It was so much fun that I thought my f-list might enjoy it too. Some of these are new but most of them are old favorites. Plz to enjoy.

All right, now on to less frustrating things. A couple months ago [livejournal.com profile] dodger_sister had a dream that, when she recounted it the next day, we all thought it would make a delightful story. I have the privilege of being the only one off my rocker enough to attempt to tell it. I think I'm going to try this whole "posting things as a WIP" for a while so here's the first part.

This doesn't have a title yet, the name on the draft is Codename: Hotass. It involves Victor Henricksen as a P.I., Dand Scully as a Professor/Forensic Scientist at a local college, and Dean Winchester and Calvin Reid as police detectives. I'm sure you can all guess why it's called Hotass. =D

He'd always been a sucker for a bad luck case, for the people whose lives got lost between the cracks in the system. )

I've been meaning to type this up for a while. Fair warning, this may very well shift into OTT teritory and I would imagine that the hyperbole will be strong with this one. Becase Supernatural broke my heart and I'm still not over it.

On that note here is Why I'm Breaking Up With Supernatural )

In sum:

That was such unmitigated bullshit. Fuck you all, I'm done.

So. Supernatural. I'm not, here, going to go into the whys and wherefores of exactly how season six didn't work for me. In short, it's like a fic from a writer I enjoy that I spend all evening reading only to realize, at the end, that none of it really jived with how I see the characters or show. The kind of fic that makes you feel vaguely disappointed and pretty unsatisfied and you wonder why you wasted so much time reading it, though the next night you find yourself reading another fic by the same author.

Something like that. Anyway, the point of this post is to put down, for posterity, some of the things that Baylor and I decided for our versions of seasons five and six. Just in case the brain transmitters start working again.

Bring on the bullet points:

* Gabriel isn't Gabriel, he's Azrael (another archangel). Gabriel is played by Peter Gallagher and recurs throughout season five (though not season six).
* Bobby is killed by Lucifer in Detroit.
* Cas is killed and brought back as a human.
* Some omnipotent being removes Sam and Adam from Hell, Sam chooses to come back to earth while Adam goes on to heaven.
* Azrael is brought back via porno.
* Jeffrey Dean Morgan guest stars.
* Cas never goes back to being an angel.
* Bruce Campbell is plagued by deadites.
* Headless Horseman (played by Kevin Durand).
* Cucuy
* Sam gets a girl, kind of.
* A musical episode featuring the Cast of Supernatural does Michael Jackson's Thriller.
* Supernatural Cops/Jose Chung's From Outer Space
* A fairy episode wherein fairies are fucked up little bastards, Lana Lang is the fairy queen and Andrew (from BtVS) is Puck.
* Nicholas Lea is a Man In Black.
* Sam and Dean drive off into the sunset.

Episode titles include:
* Casa Erotica Is A Fingerbone
* My Name Is Bruce
* Day of the Dead
* Night of the Zombie Strippers
* Back In The Saddle
* Tink You
* Devil Baby
* Wild Wild West
* Alt World
* Hotline to Hell
* Agnus Dei
* Cirque de Morte
* Ramble On

There you go, there are the highlights of our season six. I have to say, we've had more fun than is probably legal coming up with it. One day I'll have to tell you all the story behind Casa Erotica Is A Fingerbone, it's hilarious.

I put together a Castiel-centric mix which I would now like to share with all of you. Many thanks to Mumford & Sons for their awesome song 'The Cave' which is, quite possibly, the perfect Castiel song.

Show Me The Way )

There you have it. I haven't been completely unproductive during the past few months. Castiel is always a priority, after all.

I took a break last night and went to FGC to watch some TV. My only reaction to an episode of a Certain Television Show that aired last night is the following embedded video. All thanks to [livejournal.com profile] dodger_sister for the lulz while Show was airing.

Re: Show.

BOBBBBBBBYYYYYYYY!!!!!!


That was awesome. Bobby's awesome. Best.Episode.Yet.

Also, semi-relatedly, have ya'll seen Hi, I'm Twilight and I'm True Blood? 'Cause you should. It's lolarious.

In other news, my car broke down on the way back from FGC last night. Why oh why don't I have a Bobby who could come over and fix my car and be all grumpy at me? Stupid, inconvenient real life being all real and stuff.

I have been so stupidly, ridiculously busy it's not even funny. Why, why must I be an adult?

So, spent the weekend in Chicago with [livejournal.com profile] baylorsr helping [livejournal.com profile] hiyacynth organize and make room for Munchy P (OMG [livejournal.com profile] hiyacynth is HAVING A BABY, OMG!!!!) and, like the geniuses we are, we all totally forgot to watch SPN on Saturday night. Though, in our defense, we were very busy watching Live On Mars.

BTW, you should've seen the amazing organization that occurred over the weekend. It was an awe-inspiring sight to behold.

Anyway, what with classes and work (I went into court today where my boss argued the brief I wrote OMG THAT WAS EXCITING) I didn't get a chance to watch Show until today. And all I really have to say is Ahem )

And now, I am off to do more work. Because that is all I seem to do anymore. I miss being creative. And having things in my head that have nothing to do with the law. Because the law makes baby unicorns cry.

So, it's probably a little inappropriate that I thought about Castiel every time someone said the word "angel" at church today. I don't really think he's the kind of angel they were talking about.

I BLAME YOU FANDOM!!! *snickers*

Wait, that's right, some show that I watch premiered this week. And I have FEELINGS about it. I guess I should share some of those. Also including promo spoilers for next week's episode at the end.
