100 Drabbles
Happy Halloween, everyone!
I have now written 100 drabbles for Supernatural. A hundred! 10,000 words - exactly - about how I imagine the life and times of the Winchester family, and the people, places and things they've encountered.
I've written episode tags and crossovers, tales of childhood, romance and the apocalyspe, dialog-only and monster point-of-view. I told stories that were deadly serious, cuddly cute, full of angst, and just plain silly. I tried to make chickens and a Christmas tree as menacing as possible and used a bad pun as a monster. I experimented with quoting Shakespeare and wrote from the perspective of a plastic army man. I wrote stories that didn’t even impress me, and discovered that Supernatural fans love a certain ghost-hunting dog.
I've liberally sprinkled my drabbles with cultural references: King Arthur, Stephen King ( more than once), The Twilight Zone, Where the Wild Things Are, Men in Black, a jump rope chant, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, He-Man, Greek mythology, Care Bears, H.P. Lovecraft, the Billy goats Gruff, Brigadoon, Bugs Bunny, the Saw movies, Fringe and the Morton salt girl. To name only a few.
And scattered in with all of these, I created ordinary hunts like those you might see on an average Thursday night.
They're not all great, I admit that, but I've been having fun writing these drabbles, 100 words at a time. So thanks for reading them!
