Despite its racial undertones, [the] 'angry Indians' stereotype is useful for understanding what [American Indian Movement] was trying to accomplish and how they became criminalized for it. AIM consisted primarily of Natives 'off the reservation.' 'Off the reservation' is an American English idiom that took on murderous meaning with the creation of Indian reservations. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the phrase as meaning 'to deviate from what is expected or customary.' The expression is also current in military and political spheres to describe someone who defies orders, who is unpredictable and therefore ungovernable. Those who 'go off the reservation' are rogues or mavericks in military jargon—the ones who 'cross the wire' of military bases (called 'reservations') or enter hostile territory (called 'Indian Country'). For Natives, to 'go off the reservation' refers to those who historically refused reservation life or refused to respect its borders, where they could be contained and managed. Those willfully crossing borders were considered renegades, outlaws, or hostiles and were usually hunted down and summarily shot, hanged, or imprisoned. It is no coincidence the phrase arose from the language of the nineteenth-century Indian Wars and the murderous consequences inflicted upon those who refused reservation life. In this way, to go 'off the reservation' is to question territory and sovereignty, and a political practice. To evoke Kahnawà:ke Mohawk scholar Audra Simpson, Native trespass into the domain of what is considered 'settled' territory calls into question the legitimacy of settlement—asserting that indeed it is anything but settled. In other words, Natives off the reservation are the unfinished business of settler colonialism—the ones who refused to disappear, refused to sell their land, and refused to quit being Indians.

Hope you don't mind me asking. I've recently found your old emwebb17 ao3 work (most of all "Angel Slayer" & "Off the reservation") & was stunned by it. Everything fit. Dialogue, characterization, the way you linked every thread, knew your stuff, the smut, the little quirks ... I've run out of words. I admire the perfection. Would it bother you to put it up again per Orphan_account? That way, ppl can read it, but u don't have to see it if u don't want to. Thank you so much. You opened my eyes and

Thank you for the compliments.  I’m glad you enjoyed the stories.  I will not repost them even as orphaned works.

I have, however, reposted the Angel Slayer series as an “original” work with the names changed to original characters.  It’s pretty obvious who is who though.

I had planned to swap the Off the Reservation series to be Destiel, but never got around to it before I completely lost interest in all things Supernatural.  I also think I may have been overzealous in my original deleting spree because when I checked my files, I couldn’t find one of the OTR parts.  It may be lost forever if it’s not downloaded by someone on PDF or something.  So, I don’t think OTR will ever be reposted unless current circumstances change.

Thanks again for your kind words.

Hi! I saw that you posted one of your cockles fics as destiel again! I loved it. I was wondering if you'll be doing that with all your cockles fics? Possibly continue your unfinished cockles fics as destiel? Also, will you ever get back to Tropes You Love?

Hello.  I will be converting a few of them.  I do plan to get the Off the Reservation series and the Angel Slayer series up, eventually.  It depends on how involved the editing process is.  It’s not just a simple find and replace function--unfortunately sometimes things in an RPF world (even an AU) don’t make sense in the SPN world. Like converting Jared from a friend to a brother.

Also as a heads up, converting the characters in the Angel Slayers to their Supernatural counterparts was getting way too complicated.  So, I decided to make it a truly “original” work and renamed everybody.  Of course, it’s not hard to figure out who is who--I still had to give the Misha and Jensen characters slightly odd names since it gets referenced so often.  Why couldn’t they be named Mike and Bill or something?  Ha ha.

I don’t think I’ll be writing additional stories or continuing old ones.  I’m really unhappy with SPN, so I’m not inspired to write about those characters in the slightest.  But...never say never.

Anyway, I hope that answers your questions.
