July SPN Snapshots Challenge
Hi y'all!
I'm going to be doing the SPN Snapshot challenge as part of Camp Nano. I'm planning on posting all snapshots here as well as in my AO3 account.
For those not familiar with the snapshots challenge, it's a group that lets you pick a list of prompts. Each list has 30 prompt on it and you are suppose to write 100-1000 word snapshots for each prompt. I'm combining this with Camp Nanowrimo this July to get back in the groove of writing.

I'm going to be trying to post every day in July. In these snapshots, I will be exploring Dean and Cas's relationship as well as Team Free Will in general. The only romantic relationship is Dean and Cas, but not every snapshot will be romantic. Some are just general life ficlets. Some of these will be AU ficlets as well.
I'll put a note at the beginning of each to let you know the prompt and any specific warnings for that ficlet.
I'm planning on returning to the entries that get the most comments to expand them, so if you like one, please leave a comment to let me know.
Hope you enjoy reading these SPN Snapshots as much as I enjoy writing them.
