Five Thousand Miles of Silence story by sweetasscas // art by paxdracona

DCBB 2015 // explicit // ~60k

Of all the ridiculous situations Dean Winchester had ever found himself in, this one took the prize: standing in his living room dressed in nothing but boxer-briefs and one sock, watching a strange girl pass out on his couch.

coming november 10, 2015

Her fic may or may not be a day late (I believe she’s waiting on her artist), but you’ll be able to find her fic at sweetasscas on AO3!

Quick shoutout to @queen-sands, whose message made me blush and squeal internally like a lunatic. But I'm at work and have to remain composed. (Though I am grinning at my computer like a total nutter.)

[coltsandquills]

can you make a smut rec list? preferably dean/reader or dean/cas?

Not really, because I don’t really read ANYONE/Reader smut. :-/  (the only exception I can remember off the top of my head is a fic by @deanwinchsterr, which I really liked, but it was Sam/Reader. At least… I’m 99% sure it was written by her. I can’t find it for the life of me even though I had it bookmarked – sorry!).

That said, sweetie @salvachester has a hot series with Dean/OFC (original female character) that you can find here. 

And while I tend to skip their stuff that’s strictly smut, @sweetasscas | @sweetasscaswrites | AO3  & @prettymessedupsituation | AO3  are both amazing writers whose stuff is mostly Destiel.

hello! I saw you reblog other people's stories. Is it your friends or do you take submissions? thank you!

Heyo! Sometimes they’re friends, sometimes not. But if you ever want me to check out your work, send me a link. 

But please – link to SPECIFIC stories! More often, people give me links to their full masterlists or writing blogs, and while I don’t mean to ignore, I just don’t have the time to sift through the lists of complete strangers (adulting sucks and doesn’t leave nearly as much free time as I’d like).  

I guess I should also note, while I don’t mind writing Reader Inserts from time to time, I almost never read them. If you’re not a friend or an author I follow, there’s a way bigger chance I’ll read and share your work if it sticks to the canon characters, or even an Original Character(s), if well done. 

I know. I’m a picky bitch. But I promise to try to be a helpful one where I can. :)

C&Q Guest Feature: “The Supernatural Adventures of Ellie Singer”

iamreadinginsecret:

Hello!

My mission is to rewrite the entirety of Supernatural from the POV of a new female character. This story is a slight AU, in which Bobby has a daughter, and she becomes a regular cast member. Sometimes I use actual scenes from the show almost word for word, giving some of the dialogue to Ellie. Sometimes, I go completely off book, changing the storyline of an episode as seems logical with a new character added. Each episode is maybe 4 chapters, plus there’s a lot of extra chapters that occur in between episodes.

It’s 53 Chapters so far, and I am midway through Episode 3x08, so I’ve got a LOOOONG way to go.

I try to make Ellie appeal to as many people as possible, and still keep the Winchester dynamic, while giving Dean a friend he can relax and be himself with, and Sam a friend he can always trust to listen to him and support him.

The best place to read it is Tumblr, because that’s where I post not just the main story, but also progress updates and sometimes I have Ellie answer questions from readers. Special Chapters, in which I take requests for extra scenes or rewrites from other points of view are also exclusive to Tumblr.

The tumblr account is: winchestersplusone

Here’s the Masterlist: Masterlist
