The Omnivorous Geek

missyjack is asking for new crack recs to add to the page at the SuperWiki. Here's the list from her post:
* Body Swap
* Animal Transformation
* Time travel
* De-agification
* Cross dressing
* Amnesia
* Wing!fic esp involving Castiel
* Defies description - the whacked out and crazy.

This is the comment I left for her:

(I haven't read a couple of those, as they were gleaned from other rec lists and are in my to-read file, but most of them I have, so I'm also here telling you to go read them now.)

But c'mon, you guys, there have to be more. The page hasn't been updated in a long, long time. Pretty please head over there and give her more? ::gives you puppy eyes:: I have a particular fondness for crack, especially Supernatural crack, since I first started reading it in this fandom. I'ma go check the tags at spngenlove, anyway--I think there are some good ones recced there.

We're starting a new campaign tonight. Here's my new character's (somewhat skeletal) backstory. I dunno why I decided to go crackish this time, but there it is. I'm looking forward to playing a bard again.

--

Valenya Cherbatasky was born in a small village near the border of Novagast and Earnan. Her father was a human, Ivan the woodcutter, and her mother was an elf, Marisuva, who dressed the hair of various important ladies in their village and the surrounding area. On big feast days she also curled the hair of the mayor's prized dogs.

Valenya's father was known for being just a little unbalanced. Because he spent of a lot of time in the forest, he seemed to have accidentally wandered into the Feywild one too many times. He had a strange fondness for the color pink and often declared that someone's face was "sparkly" and they should back off or he would hit them in the forehead with his axe.

Valenya also had three older brothers, Vanya, Vi-Chan, and Chad. When each lad turned twenty-one, they were sent off on a quest to make their way in the world, because Ivan insisted on it. Each one was given only a piece of bread, a hunk of cheese, and a hand-carved comb from their mother. This was meant to be character-building, and it mostly worked. Chad married a princess and Vi-Chan ended up a prosperous merchant in a wealthy city. Vanya, unfortunately, was eaten by a porpoise before he got very far in his journey.

Being always surrounded by such strange folk, and constantly fed fairy-tales and sad stories by her various relations (grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews not-yet-born), Valenya grew up with a great love for the odd, the misfit, the forgotten. Even as a wee tiny girl, she was bold and outgoing, reaching up to tug on the tunic of a passing villager and motioning them to bend down so she could talk to them.

"Come, listen now," she would say. "I tell you a story. It make you sad, but when it finish, you vill be stronger."

Hilariously enough, she was always right. The villager would go on his or her way feeling much better and happier about their life, even though Valenya's tragic tales usually had them breaking down into tears before she was ten minutes in. (And mind you, these tales often lasted an hour or more. They are tales of Novagast, after all, and we all know how that goes.)

By the time Valenya was twenty-one, her parents had recognized that she was destined be a great bard. And so she set out into the world with her piece of bread, hunk of cheese, and hand-carved comb, a sad story on her lips and magic in her heart.

Pretty soon she figured out that she should also get a sword and some armor. I never said Valenya was stupid.

And thus her tale begins.

Author’s Note: Semi-sequel to Entertaining Angels, original flavor, but stands alone. I'm not sure I'm really happy with this chapter, but it seems to be taking an excruciating length of time for me to write anything lately, and I didn't want to leave you guys without an update for any longer. So here is one.

Part 1

( Part 2 )

So apparently I have an affinity for crack involving Castiel, what with Entertaining Angels and then Clad Only in a Sock and also this:

That Day Castiel Got Turned into a Robin

One major draw is, I think, the fact that it is an angel of the freakin' Lord, and therefore the crack is automatically ten times crackier. But also, in many crackfics that involve, say, Dean being turned into a radish, the delectable SamnDean banter is lost, what with the inability of one of them to talk. But when it's Castiel getting turned into something ridiculous, SamnDean can fight and argue and snark at each other all they want.

And also Castiel as any kind of small animal is irresistibly adorable to me. I don't know. ::hands::

So yeah. This round robin was incredibly fun to participate in. We're talking about doing again, say once a month or so. If you have cracky ideas, plz to be letting us know.
