I've put an asterisk (*) by the stories that appear to be the most popular so you can hit the People's Choice highlights and I've put an (@) by Author's Picks just to broaden the selection for favored, yet overlooked stories. General categories are given to the stories, but angst doesn't mean dark and suicidal. Just kind of melancholy. And gen was the only explanation I could come up with for a story that isn't steeped in one overall emotion. It's just a story, if that makes any sense. Please read summaries for more details regarding a particular story.

brigid_tanner for beta-ing! This series of stories is an interlude in the larger pagan god story arc, that will focus mostly on OCs, with the supporting cast consisting of SPN main characters we know and love. Some chapters will focus more heavily on Sam and Dean than others. Kripke owns all. ( Chapter 6 )

Characters: John/Kate
Summary: Sometimes, he called her Mary.
Author's Note: Unbeta'd, and a het drabble. One hundred words exactly! Can you believe it? Kripke owns all.
Sometimes, he called her Mary.
She would pull away from him, her eyes hurt, or hard, or - more often than not these days - almost painfully blank, as if she knew it didn’t matter what she allowed him to see.
“Kate,” she’d state firmly. “My name is Kate.”
John would just close his eyes and nod, pulling her back against his chest, and she would nestle against him, her heartbeat reassuring in its steady throbbing hum.
He stoically accepted her censure, and she accepted his reassurances with the same brittle equanimity she always did.
But things never really changed.

Summary: Dean Smith and Sam Wesson want to hunt some more ghosts. They go to the experts for some hands-on training, but can they fight the strange attraction between them?

But back to my story that is languishing in editorial limbo. It's 6,128 words, there's non-graphic Wincest in Smith/Wesson form (but not Winchester form), and it needs looked at for all the basics such as grammar, spelling, voices, and does it make sense-ness. If you're willing, drop me a note, please!
Thank you!

Or maybe Twisting the Hellmouth.
Y'know...because it sucks donkey balls, and it obviously hates me.
Don't give me that It's-not-a-physical-entity-and-therefore-c
It's malevolence is palpable. It burns.
I've tried posting the same story twice and, through a series - or one - of unfortunate events, it has failed spectacularly every time and erased it!
*tearing of hair and rending of cloth*
I'm not saying it's a great story. Maybe this is a sign it should never be seen by anything with eyes, or at least by anything that can decipher the Roman alphabet into intelligible sounds. But I found my very first attempt at fanfic (I think?) - a result of an acquaintance's birthday challenge - when packing up my some of my crap today, and...it didn't entirely suck. Oh, it needs boatloads of work and to be completed (which will never ever happen because it's at least...when was Buffy on again? Ten years old?), but it was a pretty intriguing start. And now I can see how I could make it a Supernatural crossover, with the unknown threat being Azazeal coming after Dru because she was one of his early "kids" who was taken out of play by Angelus and Spike.
And he wants her back. *ta-da-dum*
Or whatever noise it is you make.
So, Sam and Dean roll into town on Az's trail. It could be young Sam and Dean, but that meant John, so I was thinking old Sam and Dean. Season 2 Sam and Dean.
But TTH has defeated me and crushed my posting spirit.
However, I may one day write a J2 Hairspray with Ackles as Link (I mistyped that as Kink, which is entirely another story) and Padalecki as Tracy, because the world needs more singing and dancing J2.
ETA: Twisting the Hellmouth is a site wherein crossovers relating to Buffy and/or Angel reside. There is one for Supernatural, too, but I can't recall the title. It can't possibly be Twisting the Supernatural, so I am at a loss.

THE ANONYMOUS WRITING FEEDBACK MEME
I'm a little scared, but I think I'm prepared for what people might say because my writing issues are extremely slow to evolve, so what was messed up a year ago is still messed up now. Face it, I'm like a chimpanzee at a typewriter. Odds are that eventually something palatable will come out, but most of it will be nonsensical crap.

eleke Prompt: Missing scene from "My Brother the Fishstick." It can be wincesty or no.
Author's Note: It's over 100 words, but I'll pare down in the next ones, promise. I just like adjectives way too much. Unbeta'd.

hunters_retreat Prompt: Sam/Dean, on a dark and dusty highway
Author's Note: Still over 100 words, tag-nabbit. Alas, it is not a dark highway, because I figured that to see the dust, you would need the sun. Unbeta'd.
( The road cloaked them in a mantle of dust... )

alldunn Prompt: PaganGods! Sam/Dean, dreaming in the Black
Author's Note: Still over 100 words and still unbeta'd.
( He was floating... )

gypsy_atavari Prompt: PaganGods verse, Dean introduces Sam to the Firefly crew.
Author's Note: Still not 100! Unbeta'd.
( Dean gripped his brother's hand... )

surprised
I asked gypsy_atavari for one, so I guess I'm up. Again, drabbles are only 100 words, right?
The first FIVE (seems I can up it to 10, if anyone is interested) people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.
But I won't check to ensure that you post it, so no worries. You know my fandom - I've only ever written SPN, but I've crossed over with Firefly, Angel, and Dark Angel, with a Wonderfalls crossover in progress. As you might have realized, I don't really write sex, so try to avoid "blowjob in bathroom" or anything like it as a prompt, please. However, I am capable of an implied sexual relationship, so there is that. And uh...I have what could be a John/Kate drabble started, so...if anyone wants to tag that, it's there. I've never written one of these before, so it might have scary results.
ETA: Wincest is fine, but (as you can see above) I tend to write passive Wincest rather than active Wincest. Feel free to ask for the Wincest-y dressing, should you so desire...and that was not intended in a dirty way at all.
- Mood: contemplative
It's about 3,000 words. If anyone could take a peek and see if it's worth continuing, that would be great. It's hard writing a bunch of people I don't know!

Hee. See what I did there?
But I've been beyond busy (legitmate reasons mixed with absolutely nothing) the past few weeks and left with no will to write anything. I'm contemplating the two big projects I should be working on this weekend, one I definitely need to finish before Monday, and I'm guessing very little outside of that will get done.
Plus, I really want to squeeze in a viewing of Gabriel Tigerman's movie, Skills Like This. Did you hear about that? If not, go here.
So I'll do a useless kind-of poll...kind-of in that it'll takes more space than given in an lj poll, so I'm not using that feature. I'll give you a piece from my main three stories to see what interests anyone who might take a gander.
What should I work on if I have time?
1. SPN/Wonderfalls crossover:
Sam waited patiently until Dean cracked under the silence.
“Saw it on the Ghostfacers’ blog…said something about a girl running into a spirit on the local rez – two of the tribal members nearly died. Rumor is she’s been involved with arson, kidnapping, robbery, and other strange ‘accidents’. They think she’s either a shaman, psychic, or cursed.”
“Since when do you trust anything you find on Ed and Harry’s site?” Sam asked with a snort of disbelief. “They claimed to have an interview with alien life-forms two weeks ago…some teenagers from Roswell.”
“They asked some pretty good questions.”
“It was a TV show,” Sam reminded him. “Next it’ll be a hard hitting story about a high school girl who kills vampires.”
2. Billy Part 4:
Billy could sense Uncle Dean roll his eyes, even over the phone, but his explanation was succinct. “Billy likes dick.”
Uncle Sam’s voice spilled clearly down the line, as if he suddenly were hanging right over Dean’s shoulder. “That explains why he likes you so much.”
3. Smith/Wesson:
“I think all four of us might be able to take one of them down for a couple of minutes,” Maggie said with a shrug. “Or maybe you three could try while I run for help.”
“And let yet another kind of Winchester take down a proud Native American Jew?” Spruce asked, the camera lens swinging back over Ed’s shoulder to zoom in on Sam’s overly large bicep. “No way. I’ll run for help. You’ve got those tiny girl hands that could get past their defenses; I don’t think they’d hit you back.”
Yeah, my Ghostfacers' characterizations need work, but this is a rough draft. I need to rewatch the episode.
