What’s a character or pairing you’d like to see more stories written about besides Dean and Cas (we all want more Destiel 🤣)?

If you can’t think of one what’s a trope you’d like to see more of? (You can answer both if you’d like no pressure)

I'm a big fan of Dean/Benny so I definitely want more of themmmm!

Like look at them!! That is Dean's eye fucking look 😊

So yeah, we need more Dean/Benny in the world and I really need to like generate some love for the deanbenny discord server I'm a mod for 😂

And before anyone panics Destiel will be my first love but I can love more than one ship at once :)

As for tropes, I love love fake dating/marriage of convenience so I'm always up for more of those. I love a lot of tropes so this is a difficult question in general haha

Do you have any fics you read on rotation as sort of like, palate cleansers when you’ve read something really intense or that sat too deeply with you?

It doesn’t have to be fanfiction, it can be any kind of media that helps reset after reading or writing something intense?

I had to think about this one for a few days, but I do have some media I keep going to if I'm feeling overwhelmed or tense.

For non-fanfic stuff: I normally go to shows I watched as a kid that's lighter. I try to avoid anything I need to think about too hard, or my mind starts to go back to whatever's heavy. My normal go-tos are:

Pokémon (First season) Magic School Bus (Old version) Beauty and the Beast (Cartoon) Aristocats Lady and the Tramp 2

They're all colorful, not super deep, and help make me feel less in my head when I feel tense and overwhelmed.

As for fandom: Sometimes I reread things I've written AND the comments on it to remind myself that people like my writing and that I can keep on going even if I'm not overly happy with what I'm working on. Otherwise I don't think I have a specific fanfic I go back to every time I need a palate cleanser. Normally I search for a tag that brings me joy and find one that seems happy/fluffy. The tags I tend to frequent in this mindset:

Supernatural: Mpreg Pregnant Dean Winchester Misunderstandings/Miscommunications Fix-it

Magnus Archives: Time Travel/Time Travel Fix-it Good Cows Scottish Safehouse

Torchwood: Jokes on you there are no feel good torchwood things Fluff

Good Omens: Any variation of "Season 3 fix it/Season three is not real" Snake Crowley Any tag involving Gender Fuckery.

I'm really bad at reading fics more than once because there's so much out there to read!

If I read something intense or deep, I tend to just not read anything for a little while, or focus on one of my other hobbies instead :)

Quite a lot of the time I don't realise I've been reading or writing something intense either aha, so sometimes I'm just forging on regardless :D

Is there a trope or genre of fics that you were either hesitant or not interested in at all but your mind was changed after reading a particular story?

You don’t have to mention which fic it was if you don’t want to but if you do remember I’d love to know

Ooooo, that's a fun question!

The answer is Omegaverse, especially Mpreg within that setting. I found the concept off-putting for a lot of complicated personal reasons re: gender and sexuality. I had clicked on one or two fics out of curiosity, and then immediately noped out.

Then @stonelions was looking for a cheer-reader for an Omegaverse fic. I desperately wanted to be friends with them already because they seemed cool as hell, and what they said about their fic being a little bit different had me intrigued, so I volunteered myself. And I loved that fic to bits! The worldbuilding and exploration of gender in Interference Vector turned out to be exactly my jam.

And I have read a few other Omegaverse fics since then! I don't really enjoy the fics that are deeply focused on baby-making and baby-having, but there are definitely some fics that don't prioritize that.

But also?? The thing that's so fucking cool about fandom is how much you're encouraged to just create the thing you want to see. Even if there's something you don't vibe with, you can mess around with it and make it your own, and you'll wind up finding really rad people who like the way you did it. And that's the best part.
