I keep forgetting to do this, dang it. Maybe I should do it longer in penance. Anyway.

SPN: This fandom is so awesome, really. I ask for more Dean and Castiel gen, and it is provided! OVER HERE, LOOK, LOOK! It's a...um...it's a Robin Roundrobin. With Dean and Castiel, and Sammy too! Yes, really. You can participate! GO. DO. Make it long and twisty, in accordance to my whims!

RL: Today the gentleman I help with his morning routine thanked me for my sweet smile. ::grin:: You can sure believe he got another one for that. I felt warm all morning.

Fandom: Supernatural
Title: Darkness, My Old Friend
Author: Maychorian
Characters: Sam Winchester, Mr. Wyatt
Category: Gen, Angst
Rating: PG/K+
Spoilers: 4.13—picks up where the episode left off.
Summary: "Are you happy?" It should be a simple question with a simple answer, but nothing in Sam's life is simple right now.
Word Count: 1560
Disclaimer: Pretty sure they’re not mine.
Author’s Note: Once again, my meta prefers to show itself in fic form rather than an essay. For the record: I love Sam. There will be no bashing. If you want to read Sam-hate, go somewhere else. Also, I seem to have suddenly lost the ability to come up with my own titles. This one is from "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel.

RL: Easy. Monday night RPG, remember? Star Wars right now, and oh, it was fantabulous. We made such very inappropriate jokes, though. I would feel terrible repeating them. The only sad thing was that Gabe wasn't there, so my character was without her bestest buddy. ::sniff:: No infuriating team of Gem and Jymm! Oh, 'twas sad. Gabe, you are not allowed to get sick ANY MORE. ::builds germ-proof shell around him::

Also happy--watching the first two episodes of Supernatural with my Padfoot, since I went down earlier in the afternoon and forced her to watch with me. ♥

SPN: I love the way fandom can draw people around the world together in times of crisis, our shared love of a work of fiction leading to friendship and support. Latest example would be the Australia fires, of course, and how we can show our love for each other half a world away. Hold on, my Australian flisties! I wish you all the best, now and always. You are in my thoughts and my prayers in this terrible time. ::HUGS, SO MANY HUGS::

SHOW RETURNS IN LESS THAN A WEEK! ::bounces giddily until out of breath, then collapses on the floor::

But anyway, I thought now would be a good time to share all of my favorite post-4.10 codas and fics, to kind of rev us up and get ready. And NEVER has an episode demanded a tag more than "Heaven and Hell" did. Oh my WORD. So here are some. You'll notice that many of these were written by people I've already recced in general, so now I am reccing in specific.

Supernatural gen authors…oh how I love them. And there are a lot of really good ones. Seriously, this fandom has such an embarrassment of riches when it comes to amazing fic and amazing people. You can’t throw a brick around here without hitting something outstanding, heartbreaking or hilarious or beautiful or wrenching.

I made a rec post a long time ago and kept meaning to do another. But every time I started to get settled with my mental list, I would discover another amazing writer, and another, and another, and the perfectionist in me wanted a complete list, so I just kept putting it off.

Well, forget that. I’m going to go ahead and put down as many as I can, and keep making more rec posts like this, because I am certain to forget a dozen amazing writers in this list, and I haven’t even discovered dozens more. I’m not stopping, though. This is to say, then, that if you’re a gen SPN writer and you’re not on this list, that doesn’t mean you’re not amazing. It means that I am a spaz and still a newbie.

( These people are amazing. )

I has a question, shiny flist! Does anyone know the name of Bobby's current dog? Because of course he always has a dog, right? Or three. Should I perhaps make something up? ::ponders::

Yes, this is in regards to the next chapter of Entertaining Angels.

ETA: As Tahiri points out, Bobby might not even have a dog right now. :( Anyone remember seeing one since poor, lamented Rumsfeld?
