2015 Supernatural J2 Big Bang Collection on AO3

 
xcziel has set up the 2015 Supernatural J2 Big Bang Collection on A03. Hopefully, the instructions on how to add your story to the collection are clear. When we posted about the collection in 2011, we had some suggestions about how to  post to the A03  along with a reminder to artists that they can post their artwork to A03 - either part of the Big Bang story or on their own.

Here is the master collection covering  2007-2014 (the Ao3 collection was started in 2011 and writers and artists have been slowly adding their past fanworks): http://archiveofourown.org/collections/Supernatural_and_J2_Big_Bang_Challenge

And here is the one set up for 2015.
https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Supernatural_and_J2_Big_Bang_2015

Note: A reminder that Big Bang fanworks can be added to the collection. Art and fanvids are especially welcomed and can be added as their own stand alone entries or as part of the Big Bang story post. And here is a shout out to the latest Big Bang art posted to the collection: digitalwave's art for 'And Light Remaining After Thunder' by firesign10 (2015) and the most recent Big Bang vid for the 2010 Big Bang: meivocis' vid for "Luminous" by devilsduplicity (2014)

Feel free to cross-post or link to this post.  Because this is not being run by the Big Bang challenge moderators, there will be no "official" announcement on the SPN J2 Big Bang community or any of the other SPN communities  - so the only way to get the word out to fans who are posting their fanworks on AO3 is through you.

PS. For those on tumblr, here is the official SPN J2 Big Bang Feed

Dear Supernatural Fandom: Thank You

Remember last month, where I was collecting  fic and vid recs for a new Supernatural fan who is watching the show from the start?  She wrote back to me and said that shortly after she started watching, her sister was hooked.

They have now instigated Date Night With Sam and Dean.

"When we're ready to watch an episode, we get all dressed up with make up and everything, put out a dish (a real plate, not paper) of bite size tea rolls,and sit back for a night out with our true loves. She has promised to keep her mitts off Sam, (my fave) if I promise not to go after Dean (her fave), and a good time is had by all! 

I also made a promise to friends to watch only one episode a night. The show is so full of angst I was overwrought and my friends felt that I had to save myself from myself.  

 Ever grateful to you for guiding me through the fan fiction.  There was so much I was getting bogged down with paper and I bought a Kindle!!!!! Best thing I ever did.."

We're still looking for fan fic and vid recs (master list here).  While we need  more specific types of recs, the easiest way is to grab your favorite stories/vids and slot them into the existing season posts  rather than trying to work by season.  We have the seasons arranged by dates on the master post so it should be easy.

Yes, We Have No Destiels, We Have No Destiels Today (More Recs Needed)

We’re still collecting recs for the Season by Season "Read As You Go” Primer.  While we have a good collection in place, we still have areas that could use additional recs. 

  1. We have no Dean/Castiel for Seasons 4-7.  I know the Dean/Cas fans are out there – so any help signal boosting would be welcomed.      
  2. Gen and het recs are spotty  after season 4
  3. Early RPS or RPF (Seasons 1-2) – we need a few more.
  4. Vid recs for Season 7 – we have a few but more are welcomed.

 Rather than trying to look for recs by year, my best suggestion is for people to pull up their favorites and  add them to the year page (using the year they were written)

Rec master page is here

Impala Love

After last night's ep, I wandered away to look for pictures about the Impala (aka "Baby").

Found this

Impala - on the road...again by ~beata101 on deviantART

Which then led to this happening.

Fanlore should come with a warning: Warning! May be both addictive and fun.

SPN: Story and Vid Recs By Season

I have a friend who is working her way through Supernatural. She just finished Season 1. I thought it would be fun to put together a rec list by for her (and other fans) season by season. She will read gen, het or wincest (don't know about J2 but can't hurt to include it). And I'd love help in the form of suggestions. She'll read most any type of fic: funny, dark or death or romantic or schmoopy. She'll read short or long. The only "rule": one rec per category per season per person. Min. info needed:  story title, author,  category and current link.  Because I'd like to offer a wide range of authors, please no self-recs. Each post will cover one year and there will be locations (threads)  to make your recs according to category.   Note: I play fast and loose with the short and long categories. They are merely...guidelines.

Season 1 (September 2005-August 2006)
Season 2 (September 2006-August 2007)
Season 3 (September 2007-August 2008)
Season 4 (September 2009-August 2009)
Season 5 (September 2009-August 2010)
Season 6 (September 2010-August 2011)
Season 7 (September 2011-today)

LJ users: you can find the corresponding LJ links under this tag.

PS. And if anyone knows of other rec lists season by season, please drop the link here.

Other season by season rec lists:
  • Netweight offers an overview of Season 1-4  - both  fic and vids. To find the season breakdown, look either within the text or at the end of the line.  She also offers meta overview. Excellent resource for new fans.
  • Deathisyourart offers vid recs Seasons 1-3. She does not break them down by season, so this would be a good stopping place after you've finished Season 3.
  • Zimsham offers vid recs Seasons 1-2. Like Deathisyourart, they are not broken out by season but the post offers a useful stopping place after Season 2.

SPN Rec: Big Bang Best - The Accompanist

I'll be posting a few big bang recs in the next week. I loved this story - an original and alternative take on Dean that reads very authentic. Well written and well paced. Dean/OMC.Rated: R

The Accompanist by [personal profile] gretazreta
Summary: Dean learned to play the piano at his mother’s knee. Now, fifteen years after her death, his talent for music is a secret he keeps from everybody, especially his father. Stuck in a small town for the rest of the school year, looking after a brother who’s growing apart from him and training for a future of hunting that he’s not sure that he wants, Dean finds an unlikely confidant in an elderly Jewish man who’s haunted by his own secrets. It’s a year of firsts, hunting alone and falling in love, but when a monster from the tragic past starts wreaking havoc on the people of the town, Dean must come to terms with his own fears and desires in order to save the people he cares about the most.

SPN Rec: New Writer, Lotrabc, Slash - NC17

A new Supernatural writer.  Her other two stories are really good, but this  is the one  that made me laugh.

Twist and Turn 'Til You've Got it Right - SPN, Slash, NC17
Sometimes it takes more than one try to get it right.

Sam huffs. “You’re not--hitting it right.”

Hold the phone. Dean Winchester had been told a lot of things by lays in his life. Heard whispered and fevered declarations of shit that embarrassed him even in the moment. But one thing he had, never, ever, been accused of was lacking in bed.

And what the hell did Sam know anyway? This was only the third time they’d fucked. The first that Sam let Dean fuck him.

Not that Dean was keeping a count.

Or that Sam was being very cooperative about it.

“Stop being such a pushy little bitch and let me do it!” Dean argues, like they’re fighting over the remote or something.

SPN Rec: Not Times Fool (Dean!Girl!, Slash NC17)

I seem to be a rec machine this week. I just finished [personal profile] pandarus Dean!Girl! novella (Not Times Fool) and truly enjoyed it. I think mainly because the internal Dean voice is equal parts love, exasperation, loyalty and plain ole annoyance.  The plot is not too unfamiliar -- Dean is cursed into being a girl and from there shenanigans ensue. The sex is hot and the pacing excellent.  There is an amusing (to me) twist at the end.  All in all, a nicely balanced story.

"This is making him see what he's been missing. This is forcing him to face the reality that a person can subsist on a diet of twinkies and potato chips, but it's not really living. It's just surviving. And there's a world of difference between a one-night stand with some disposable hottie, and fucking someone you love, and who loves you right back. Who gets you, really and truly gets you, warts and all, weaknesses and all, and loves you anyway. That – Jesus, that's just blowing Dean's mind. And scaring the crap out of him."

PS. my favorite comment on the story so far is this..."Although I never thought a wincest fic would make me wanna go find a bible...."

SPN Rec: Easy On The Clutch (Pre-Stanford/Slash/NC17)

Pre-Stanford slash stories in the Supernatural verse are a tricky read for me.  Not only do we have issues of age of consent, but balancing the psychology  of a 4 year age gap in the teenager years (a huge gap) can be difficult.

Which is why I enjoyed [profile] winterweatherd's Easy On The Clutch so much. 

Dean wakes up to the sound of gunshots. He's still naked, and the side of the bed Sam was sleeping on is cool.

Dean pauses at the window on the way to the bathroom. Outside, Sam is shooting beer cans off the edge of the fence. He's a good shot: pow pow pow.

Dean gets this strange, unbidden image in his head of him and Sam, maybe five years from now, circling back-to-back and shooting out an army of zombies or werewolves or something. Pow pow pow, and they all go down one by one until Sam and Dean are the only ones left standing.

Dean finds his jeans and a wrinkled t-shirt and goes outside barefoot. He moves across the lawn quietly, waiting until Sam's finished his round before he steps up behind him and brushes his knuckles over the rise of Sam's shoulder blade.

The sun is bright on Sam's face when he turns around. He puts a hand against his forehead to shield his eyes. "Hey."

Dean squints back at him. He knows he probably looks ridiculous, one side of his face all squinched up against the light. "Hey. Gonna be late for school."

"Skipping," Sam says. He's probably waiting for Dean to give him shit for it, because Sam's never wanted to miss school in his life, but it's sunny and Dean is happy and he doesn't feel like pushing his luck. Sam holds out the gun. "You want to go a round?"

Dean shakes his head and steps back, shoving his hands into his pockets. Sam's gaze trips like a skipping stone over Dean's hips, the bare line where Dean is pulling his jeans away from his body. It makes Dean's chest hot, makes his toes curl against the dewy grass.
