PSA and a message for my Secret Non-Denominational Gift-Giver
I am thrilled (and, frankly, a little flabbergasted) that I'm still getting comments on my last three posts. I doubt anyone will read this, but: if you've commented on one of my stories or friended me and haven't gotten a response yet, *it does not mean I don't love you.* It means that I'm away from home for the next month or so and my internet access is next to nonexistent.
Now, for my spn_holidays gift-giver, I'm hoping to clarify some stuff from my request.
I know that I'm more specific than a lot of people in my requests. Please remember: I don't want you to write anything you're unhappy with. If some prompt calls to you but one of the specs makes you uncomfortable, do what works for you. I'll be happy with anything. There is just one thing I'd really like you to avoid, and that is this:
In a lot of Supernatural fanfic, Sam comes across as, well, the dominant one, and Dean winds up as this Scarlett O'Hara figure who acts uppity, but who deep down really just wants to be ordered around (sexually or otherwise). There's some canon justification for that characterization and those stories can be very well-written, but there are a *lot* of them out there, and lately I find they're not working for me. Please try to avoid that characterization if at all possible. (Scarlett!Sam, wierdly, I have no problem with. The human brain is mysterious.)
About #2: I don't want kinky porn unless you want to write it. Please remember: 1. It is possible to write a totally PG story with mild D/s overtones and 2. If D/s of any kind still freaks you out too much, ignore that part of the prompt.
About #3: I know nobody is ever going to write the IWW!Winchesters AU, but I figured I had to ask. If you *do* write the IWW-AU -- okay, I won't buy you a pony, but there will definitely be offers of baked goods. And probably flowers.
If all else fails, I'm a sucker for any Sam/Dean that starts out angsty and has a happy ending. Not exactly James Joyce, but hey, I'm easy.
Thank you so much! I look forward to reading whatever you choose to write.
