So maybe I've been writing again

[ginzai]

I think I haven't updated this particular journal in nigh on two and a half years. Maybe more, at this point. It's been a long time, anyway. But this has always sort of been my writing and fandom journal and lately, well, I've been having more writing and fandom type thoughts. So in that vein, SPN finale coda fic, anyone

Guy... you got some seriously tangled mess of priorities... but it's ok, Dean will condone saving the world, so they'll do two for one... oh my god, is it really going to take FOUR FUCKING MONTHS???

LOL! I think "tangled mess of priorities" pretty much fits all the Winchesters. Summer hiatus is going to be agonizing!

[mangacat201]

Definitely... GAH...

I like this! It makes me happy to see you writing in the Supernatural fandom. Our Harry Potter days seem like such a long time ago!

SPN may possibly have eaten my brain these past few months. *cough* It's certainly got me writing more than anything else has in the past four years or so.

Do you possibly have any SPN stuff about? Your HP writing was just phenomenal, I'd love to read anything else that you might have written since!

Oh, thank you! I actually wrote a couple of really short fics back in early 2006, when SPN was barely half-way through its first season. I don't like rereading them, because the boys' voices sound off, but then I remember that they were different people in the first series, and that satisfies me for a little while. :D

Roads to Horizons: Dean loves his car, but it’s nothing compared to how he loves Sam. Sam thinks that the road ahead of them will never end, that the hunt will never cease.

Seasons: Fall, Dean remembers, was when his dad’s smile would flicker before dying completely. Christmas had always been sparse. Spring was a deceptive bastard of a season. Summer was when they all left.

I really, really enjoyed this rather intense Sam P.O.V. story. My goodness, my heart was just breaking for Sam as I read this! This is an excellent coda to the episode! I hope you will continue to write more SN fics, you are very, very good!

[ginzai]

Oh, thank you! I was a bit nervous about how Sam was portrayed, so I'm really glad to hear that it worked for you. SPN has definitely inspired me, so I'm definitely going to keep writing for this fandom. :)

Beautiful, sad and bittersweet fic. Poor Sam, poor Dean .... óò
Oh boys. *hugs*

Thank you for reading! Bittersweet was pretty much exactly what I was aiming for, so I'm really happy that it worked for you. :)

I like this glimpse of them. I doubt we'll get to see it on the screen, but it feels very organic and necessary--first honesty, first gestures toward reaching out to each other and rapprochement. Sam's guilt is enormous, but Dean's anxious that it be tempered with truth, that Sam not take responsiblity for things that are not his fault.

I felt in the confrontation scene between Dean and Bobby that it has become less mentor-student, parent-child, and more a clash of equals. That's what I feel here, too, less protector-younger sibling, more a meeting of equals. This seems to be the only way these two are going to be able to move forward: Dean relinquishing his prevailing protective watch, with the attendant refusal to recognize Sam as an adult, and Sam stepping out from the shadow of Dean's protection in order to actualize the autonomy he's chafed for.

Well done.
