I can't really share the stuff I've written about Sam's accident and death, but here's one of the Bibi poems ( Read more... )

So I finished by Big Bang and I like it. It's good. But now I finally got to researching the last (!) main chapter of my PhD, on the construction of incest, and I'm re-reading candle_beck's fic, and as everyone in this fandom knows, she writes things like ( Read more... )

Between the ages of 14 and 18, fanfiction was my dirty little secret. I don’t know why exactly - I felt equally secretive over G-rated as NC-17 - but probably I had absorbed by osmosis the discourse of ‘originality’. Then I went to Uni and learned that the idea of creative ‘originality’ was pretty much a blip on the historical radar (late Romantic ( Read more... )

So ages ago, I wrote that I had this idea for an epically long Sam/Dean AU and that I would write it for next year's Big Bang (and then write_light helpfully screencapped it so I couldn't back out XD). This is just to say I am, to my surprise, actually doing it. Very slowly. I'm about 4/5 of the way through the first draft and it's around 40 000 words so far ( Read more... )
