Fanfic moments I wish were screencaps...
I like to create pictures with words, paint a scene as it were.. And naturally, when reading stories, I really enjoy it when a writer does exactly that - paint me a picture, a snap shot. There was an old anime I used to watch which used to freeze frame and then stylize the scene like a drawing (in fact I think its a fairly common anime technique).
So this is my list of fanfic moments which I wish I could have as a screencap or animated icon :) (and then make my desktop and ogle for hours)
The images evoked were either powerful or touching or just memorable - and needed to be freeze framed and screen capped.
Here they are:
- Dean sitting on a washing machine, wrapped up in a blanket, hair mussed and bleary eyed - Red, BigPink
- Sam sheltering under Dean’s wings as it starts to rain - Three Point Landing, Gzeitzku
- Dean lying on the hood of the Impala, watching the sunset, phoning Sam to bring him a beer - Pdragon
- Sam standing in the road, arms outstretched yelling at Dean, as he walks away - A Beer, Emma15
- Sam and Dean fighting in the park, Jess and co watching - Unfurl, Emma15
- Sam doing a cannonball off the diving board, Dean swimming for cover - Regression, Reading
- Dean with verbal diarrhoea standing bare-chested in the bathroom while Sam paints blood sigils on his chest - Verbal, BigPink
- Dean, beaten, drugged and tied to a chair, asking his hallucination of his Dad to let him loose - Blind Spot, Pdragon
- John bracing himself to put Dean’s shoulder back in - Fire in the Hole, BigPink
- The Sammy Dance - Freaks and Monsters, Beki of Dorvan
- Dean falling off the bridge, Sammy watching from below - Skin Deep, Beki of Dorvan
- Dean dancing in the club ... real slow - Sunday Bloody Sunday, Sojourner and Gaelic Spirit
- Sam and Dean standing guns pointed, dual exorcisms ringing out in the SGC - Signs and Warnings, Lembas7
- Dean looking out over the Beiring Sea, aboard the crab crawler - Lands End, Janissa
- Dean freaking out in the shower because of the spider - Japa Mala, Kimonkey
- Gordon carving sigils into Dean’s arms, with Sam watching - Methodology, Minkmax
- Dean and Sam lying on their backs in the grass, post-traumatic ghost busting, and Dean saying, ‘You complete me.’ - In Reverse, Sodakey
- ‘The Biblical plague’ and holy water - Open your eyes, Beki
- McGee, Gibbs and Abby and the salt encircled haunted computer - Tassoss
- Sam hyperventilating in the background, while Dean talks to DEATH - Binky, Pdragon
I tend to have issues in creating links (still figuring this LJ thing out) so I plan to go back and actually create the links to these fics.... eventually. This list will be added to, of course. Plenty of good fic out there.
