Dear SPN Summergen Gifter (2018)
Hello friend!!
In case you're looking for some help on what to do for me, I have - as usual - a big rambly letter. ;D
For starters, I am really excited that you are making a thing for me!! :D This letter is rambly and lengthy, BUT please know that optional details are optional. I seriously love genfic - I'm pretty much guaranteed to love whatever you choose do. Use the prompts I submitted and go wherever the muse takes you, or don't - combine, mix and match, get inspired and go sideways with it, come up with something else not related to the prompts, whatever, it's all good. :D
Thank you for doing this challenge. You are a wonderful, creative land mermaid. <3
(Below is mostly aimed at an author, but whatever applies to art, applies to art as well. :D)
As I say every year, being that this is all for gen fic, there's very few things I would rather not receive. Let's get those out of the way first:
dislikes: RPF, kid!fic/de-aged fic, pregnant fic, horror (anything super gory or extreme violence - typical canon or monster violence is fine, though), a/b/o, high school/college AUs, or rockband AUs, anything focused on Jack, Weechesters era (just not interesting to me). Character-wise: Metatron, Dick Roman, Cole, or that British Men of Letters chick who tortured Sam (Tori? Toni??). And personally, I'm kinda over seeing Ketch as a necessary evil/sort-of-a-good-guy after everything he's done (him as a villain is fine, tho). I'd also rather not receive anything that is focused on Crowley or or Lucifer, especially if it paints them as good guys. But as canon villains in any capacity in the fic, I'm totally fine with!
NOW THE GOOD STUFF -
likes: honestly like everything else. XD no but actually.
Dean is my everything, so anything heavily focused on him is a big win. I will gladly enjoy something focused on Sam as well tho! If it comes up in the background, I'm happy with pretty well any canon ship (tho Amelia is defs my least fav gal by a long shot). I defs prefer fics set anywhere during the show, but I'm down for something during Stanford era or during the boys' teen years (esp if it's John-centric). I don't prefer Weechesters generally, but I'm cool with other prequel type stuff too (Mary and John before the boys, Mary before John, Bobby and Rufus and John hunting trips, Cas before everybody, etc).
I love all the ladies - Bela, Jo, Jody, Ellen, Mary, Anna, Pamela, Charlie, Lisa, Donna, Eileen... less so Meg and Ruby (Ruby especially sparingly) but I still totally enjoy them. Bela is my other #1 and I would adore anything focused on her (Red Sky At Morning is my fav ep of all time because of banter, pirates, Bela backstory, heist-scenario, humor (Sam and Gert, omw), and Dean/Bela snarking/chemistry). I really enjoyed Amara and I love Rowena, especially when she's both good and bad at the same time and being sensationally sassy about it. ;D I have loved her this season as she's gone from ultimate baddy to more-or-less ultimately baddy who kinda loves/protects the Winchesters in a grudging way. XD
I would super love to see something about the Apocalypse world and the roles/lives of people we haven't see yet - ex. BELA, Jo, etc. How are they similar (ala Bobby) and how are they different (ala Charlie)? Who else is alive or dead? Who else is a rebel or perhaps a prisoner of the angels? What else goes on in the Apocalypse world or is it literally just constant war, and has it been for a decade plus!? What is that like??
I looove Bobby, Rufus, John, Castiel, Benny (I super love John and Bobby). Gabriel is the bomb! And I love Balthazar too - bonus points if he shows up and is a total sass master. I'm happy with any of these characters being the focus or main character of the fic (but certainly bonus if it's Dean). I enjoy Garth, Kevin, Chuck, and Gadreel too, though I would rather they weren't the focus. I am down for any combo of these characters, or just good ol' Sam and Dean brother fic of basically any description.
I'm interested in exploring the reapers or the angels, Apocalypse world from S13, or virtually any plotline/timeline/season in the show (seriously any; except maybe Roman and the Leviathans), in a canon way or with a twist. I'm caught up on the show, too, so if that thing that happened in the finale strikes your muse, go with it (WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?!). :D I am definitely a major sucker for Dean angst, so any of his most particularly angsty bits across the years are lovely to explore, too ("Regarding Dean" left me a weeping puddle and I will never not lose my crap over "Swan Song" or "On the Head of A Pin").
I'm down for pretty much any genre, though maybe not crack. Humor = BIG YES!! Fluff or angst (or both! Break my heart and make me laugh in the same fic!), hurt/comfort, action/adventure, apocafic, AUs, time travel stuff, crossovers (just check my tumblr here for other fandoms I enjoy - I would take a crossover with any! But one trillion bonus points for a crossover with Grimm, just saying ;D), non-canon scenarios are just as fine as canon scenarios as long as everybody's in character. I'm down for tropes (a good body-swap situation, for example, or that thing where the hero is injured but hides it to take care of/save others - yaaa. Ya that's good stuff). Hopeful endings.
tl;dr: I live for Dean Winchester, sass & snark, unexpected broships, humor/banter + angst, found family, hopeful endings. I really like pretty much every character on the show. I love genfic and will love whatever you come up with. :)
(If you want even more general likes/dislikes, here's an old yuletide letter )
