Looking for a little encouragement (self-indulgent post, ahoy)
Hey, peeps. A lot of you are signing up for Supernatural and Merlin Big Bangs, and making plotty posts, and in Torchwood there's the second half of mander's Big Ass Bang to look forward to ... yeah, it's exciting, all this writing! And I need a little help to jumpstart my own!
I've been writing this story since LAST February. It's a Supernatural AU. The general plot is thus: Dean's a PG County (county adjacent to DC) police detective, and the drug dealer (Crowley) he's been following is found, dead, in the presence of three associates (Alistair, Ruby, Meg). Homeland Security (Cas, Uriel, Gabriel) swoops in and grabs the case away from him and his partner (Rufus). Dean is incensed as Crowley was going to lead him to his boss, but now he can't interview the alleged killers or anything. Cas contacts Dean privately and asks for his help, as he believes there is a mole in his office. And there is.
Also stars: Sam (working for the ADA in Maryland), Ellen & Jo (their aunt and cousin, DC bar owner and grad student, respectively), Bobby (father-figure, living on a farm in Frederick County), Ash (Dean's hacker friend), Anna (Dean's on-and-off again flame, FBI Agent), and [deep breath] Victor Henriksen, Gordon, Missouri, Ronald Reznick, Sarah Blake, Ava, Andy Gallagher, Ed & Harry, Lilith, and a few surprises. Basically, anyone who's ever been in an episode of SPN (except Lisa and Ben, LOL, b/c when I started plotting this, they were characters who'd been in one episode back in season three -- though I have lots of one-ep characters, but in tiny roles).
Anyhow, what I'm asking for is for some encouragement. I'm only at a little over 30k and there's quite a bit more to go, some twists I've been planning for awhile, and yeah. Help?
I also have a couple other TW WIPs to finish up, and I just got this idea for a Gabriel backstory that I simply must write. At some point. Also, horrible head cold and I wish it would go away!!!!!
