Paranormal: Carry On My Wayward Daughters

[paranormalwaywarddaughters]

I’m Alive

Hey there, just letting y’all know I’m still alive. I always feel sad when an account I follow goes radio silence, and I’d hate any of my followers to think something bad happened to me.

It started as just trying to avoid spn spoilers, but then my ADHD butt felt like I had to watch all the seasons again before I started the new one and...I just never watched any of it. Which is something that happens to me a lot. Still haven’t finished Sherlock and Once Upon a Time for the same reasons. I just felt like I couldn’t get on Tumblr at ALL so...That’s where I’ve been.

Also, like literally everyone, the pandemic kicked my butt and I’m still feeling the effects on my mental health. I haven’t written at all since March 2020 (except for once, doing some story notes, and then my computer immediately self-destructed.) I’d like to write more of this story, edit some of the stuff I already posted, but since i haven’t finished all SPN seasons I feel like I can’t? For some reason?

[paranormalwaywarddaughters]

Well this is awkward...

So...uh, hey there. It’s been a while. 

Basically, anxiety and depression sucked the desire to write out of me. Then, on top of that, I was kinda avoiding tumblr to avoid spoilers for the spn seasons I haven’t seen yet and...

Yeah, I’ve been AWOL for a bit. Like/reblog if you’d like more Paranormal stories, I honestly feel like no one does, but hey i’ve been wrong before.

January 1984. Something is hunting the Winchesters. Battling the elements, and himself, John desperately searches for a safe haven for his family. Part 3 of Salt and Ashes, a genderbent look at the Winchester childhood years. Reading the earlier fics is a good idea, but not required. Protective!John, Abundance of feels, and lots of weechesters. Rated T for minor language.

It was still snowing outside. The night around them was pitch black, the only light coming from the interior of the Impala. John poured over the map, trying to find somewhere they could go. Lawrence was out of the question, as was any place they’d already been. He had to get the girls somewhere safe. He had to stay one-step ahead of the thing—things. It wasn’t ‘I am coming for the children’, it was ‘we’. The figure in the motel door was not the thing that killed Julie or Jacob. The thing that killed Julie and Jacob was not the same thing that killed Mary.

They were being hunted, and John didn’t know where to go.

REmember that thing that i always used to do? I did it again.

I’m sorry

I forgot to post this last week...whoops.

Sorry guys!

And sorry for the unexpected hiatus! July was crazy for me. I practically was working three jobs, but there’s more about that at the end of the chapter. I will be posting again either tonight or tomorrow. 

Sorry again for the delay!

To celebrate the Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day on August 21st, and following this post, here’s what you can do to show your favorite fanfiction writers how grateful you are for their work!

Whether you are just a reader or a writer as well, on August 21st:

Go on AO3, FF.net, Wattpad or any other fanfiction website, even Tumblr, and leave comments on your favorite fics. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already reviewed them, just do it again. It doesn’t even have to be a long comment, just show your appreciation. Tell the writers how much you love their fics. Let them know what they mean to you.

Since you’re there, give kudos, favorite their fics, vote, like them.

Send your favorite writers an encouraging message. Tell them how much you love their work. Tell them which of their fics is your favorite and why. Tell them why they’re important to you.

Make a post recommending some of your favorite fics to your followers so that they have a chance to read them as well and share them with others. Spread the word.

Make this a very special day for your favorite writers, but remember to nurture them often. They spend countless hours working on plots, developing characters and creating worlds that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for them. And they do it for free, of their own accord and frequently during their free time. It takes hard work and commitment and love for what they’re doing. And they do it for them just as much as they do it for you, so appreciate it.

They give you infinite ways in which your favorite characters find love, go on adventures and get to experience different lives, new challenges. They give you unimaginable versions of your favorite stories that you’ll just never get to see in the official storyline. They give you the opportunity to fall in love with your favorite characters all over again. Be grateful for that and don’t be afraid to express it.

Show your favorite writers how much you appreciate them and you might just make their day. And a writer who knows that their work is loved is a happy writer. Never forget that. Always share your love :)

Deanna needed him. He had to get up, he had to protect her. John grunted, fighting to open his eyes. They were so heavy. His eyelids shouldn’t be that heavy. The darkness pulled at him, lulling him back into oblivion. It was such a familiar feeling. Where had he felt that before? A slow, lulling cadence thrummed through his veins. Too slow, and too familiar. Like the motion of an old grandfather clock slowing down. Tick. Tock. Down to it’s last minutes.

Once again, I apologize for the late upload. I don’t think i ever said i’d post every wednesday, but i meant to consistently update that day so...

I apologize.

I will do better.

Series of one shots loosely talking place in the Salt and Ashes/Paranormal AU. Pre-series schmoopy 4th of July drabbles with the Winchester family. John and Mary Winchester, and genderbent Sam and Dean. As in alwaysagirlDean and alwaysagirlSam. Don't let that put you off though, some of these will be pre-kids, just John and Mary fluff. Some entries take place during Salt and Ashes, some do not.

Well, I planned on having this up earlier, but things happened. Namely I got very little sleep last night, got up earlier than usual, stayed out in the sun too long to watch a parade, and then hit my head very hard on a fridge. That last bit did the most damage I think. Had to go have myself a good old fashioned cry, because getting hit in the head will do that to a person. But, I rallied, got these drabbles sorted, and here we are.

For whatever reason Winchesters + 4th of July = ALL OF THE PLOT BUNNIES. So yes, there will be more of these.

So, I had a sorta busy day yesterday--a friend i don’t get to see much came over to hang out, so I spent the day with her. So I apologize for this being a day late. I didn’t realize until this morning i’d forgotten...Not to mention i’ve had other things to worry about, like doctors appointments and camp nanowrimo coming up, among other things.

I’M BAAAACK!

Yes, I am not dead! And i’ve got a new fic for you! 

Snow and Ashes is officially up and running, which scares me cause the next fic isn’t finished yet. Anyways, this basically picks up where House of Ashes left off, following the Winchesters. It takes a few things from the published ‘John Winchester’s Journal’, along with a few of the comics (i think), to use as a framework. 

Fun fact: This and House of Ashes made up a huge chunk of my Nanowrimo this last november. I got to the end of House of Ashes (which WAS my nano project) and wasn’t even halfway to my goal and went 

 Yeah, just like that. Then I pulled myself together like a boss and kept writing. Cause i’m awesome like that.

Update

Okay, so obviously I didn’t post anything last week. And I probably won’t post something this week either.

I wanted to do a little one shot for memorial day, but I thought about it too late and I worked that day...I was very very exhausted and not feeling well. 

HOWEVER I’d like to update you guys on what I have coming up. Cause there’s alot of it.

First off, the next part of the genderbent series, Snow and Ashes, is on the horizon. I hesitate to put a date on it, because my life may be a bit crazy the next few weeks, but it’s coming, it’s written! It just needs some major TLC. It will be much better for it. I appreciate your patience. 

Other things!

A 4th of July Special in is our future! 

John and Mary stories. Sooo many John and Mary stories.

More of the genderbent series comes after snow and ashes. Two oneshots, Ashen Smile, and (second title is a WIP), Followed by several longer fics continuing the story.

and finally, last but certainly not least, the actual series, Paranormal. Oh yes, i’m writing Deanna and Sam’s adventures. I won’t be doing every episode (that’d take me years) but I will be doing it. 

and much much more!!!

All while trying to write my own original work.

Oh yeah, i’m a masochist. A very very tired masochist.

Directly after Mary's death, John is dealing with what he saw and becoming a single parent. Deanna isn't talking, and Sam's a baby who needs his attention. Grief, suspense, and creepiness. Looking for answers, he finds less than he wanted and more than he bargained for. Sequel to Salt Water Ashes. GENDERSWAP AU always-a-girl!Dean and always-a-girl!Sam. Everyone else is the same.

Well, there you have it. That’s the end.

I’d like to thank you guys for coming along the ride with me! For followers of this story, don’t worry! This story might have ended, but that doesn’t mean it’s over. The next phase of this ‘little’ series, Snow and Ashes, is coming soon! It’s written, but is in need of some TLC before I start posting! If you don’t want to miss it, hit the follow button! All that does is let you know when I post something, and lets me know you like my writing! I’d like to thank those that already have, as well as favorites and reviews, likes and reblogs. They seriously keep me going! You have no idea how motivating it is!

Also, less than five hours ago, this chapter was no where near being ready to publish. I worked my TAIL off getting this thing presentable. There still might be a few quirks (and i’d appreciate a PM to let me know about any goofs so I can fix ‘em), but it’s a whole lot better than it was this morning! All for you guys!

[Insert Dean “You’re awesome” gif here]

Much love and appreciation!

So….Remember that thing I keep doing? It happened again. I posted on the wrong blog!!!! I fail, I fail so hard! I am so sorry!

Anyways, here it is, the last chapter of House of Ashes. Snow and Ashes, the next part, should start up either next week or the week after. I’m not sure, I need to go over it a few times.

Thank you for your patience with my derpiness!
