Okay, sadly, I've never watched Supernatural so chances are this isn't something I'd continue. I like your idea, though. Maybe I'll post a link to some of the things I've written here and there. I'm constantly amazed at how many ideas I get about one chapter written about, and then stop.

Me, too. I'm tired of seeing these files sitting in my writing folder, and knowing that I won't get back to them ever, even though I pretty much have the entire idea plotted out.
Of course, some I'm still clinging to desperately (Hollywood AU and Willow/Dresden Files, to name a few), but overall I want some of these off my plate and out of the way.
Go ahead, post links or whatever. Join my Monday's of purging..or shedding...whatever. :)
Yeah, I feel guilty every time I look at some of those documents, because there are just so MANY of them. They're all great ideas, IMO, but I just don't have the time to write them. Although...now that I'm sitting here thinking about it, it's probably not so much an absence of available time, as it is a lack of motivation.
My writing pace is so slow lately that I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever get back to the days where I wrote 3 or 4 chapters a week. It seems unlikely right now :-(
I don't think I was ever in the habit of writing 3-4 chapters a week (the recent writing binges not withstanding).
I also find that if I don't finish writing something *right* *now*, then it will probably never get done. That's the trouble I'm having with the BtVS/Numbers epic - 2 scenes left and I just don't want to write it any more. This is also why I keep tormenting you with the Willow/Spike bunnies I've been getting recently, but haven't completely finished one yet. I will though. Honest. :)
Actually, I think it feels complete as it is. I like the idea that Dean has nothing with his real name on it. My only complaint is one I always have about John in fanfic - I don't see him as a drunk but that's just me.
I didn't feel like there was any closure in the piece...and I started to lose focus (not like there was really much to start with).
As for John, it's just easier to label him as a drunk - though I've read a few well written stories where John's absent parenting is attributed to the many injuries he receives, thus he is either laid up or doped up on painkillers.
I'm just not sure where'd you'd take it from here- maybe all it needs is a powerful closing line from Dean about how invisible he is to the real world.
Any way i liked it.
As for john i can buy the injury/painkillers routine - a drunk in his line of work wouldn't have lasted to long.
That's a great idea, I'm definitely up for the possibility (tho not this one, being as you can write what I know about Supernatural on the back of a postcard).
Hmm, there must be a few bunnies lurking somewhere...

Yours or mine? Cause I usually only end up writing down about 1/3 of the plot bunnies I get.
I just need to get rid of some of them, seeing as they're not going anywhere, ever. :)
Never fear, I've got some DW and NCIS coming soon, too. The Supernatural one was just the only one on my work computer. ::)
