About the Author:
I’m Cole! I’m a married mom of 2 in her mid-thirties who has started writing fanfiction at the urging of her friends. It’s been a major stress reliever and creative outlet for me and is something that I credit with a lot of my new found confidence and curiosity.
Other info and plugs:
I help run six different discord servers, several different bingos, and have found my true family through tumblr and fanfiction. I also have a patreon where you can get exclusive fics and access to everything on tumblr several weeks in advance! Right now I’m running 4 weeks ahead for my series and one-shots and have several exclusive drabbles and a few one-shots for my patrons.
Author’s Fave Personal Fics:
Blood and Ash
Summary: Y/N is a vigilante that isn’t quite on the same team as Red Hood. But when she gets injured, she has no one else to turn to. Will they break through each other's walls? Or will everything burn to ash?
Why the author likes this fic:
This was my first time writing for Jason Todd/Red Hood. I delved pretty deep into the lore for it and fell absolutely head over heels for him. The story I crafted to go along with these characters flew out of me, all 4.9k words.
Sounds of Someday
Summary: Y/N has been best friends with Corey Taylor, lead singer of both Slipknot and Stone Sour, for several years. When they finally get to see one another in person again, he introduces her to fellow rocker Jensen Ackles. Jensen feels an instant connection but Y/N resists. Can she overcome the damage of the past and let love in?
Why the author likes this fic:
This was supposed to be a one-shot. Maybe a trilogy at best. It turned into about 23 parts when I include the epilogue and prologue. The personalities I gave to everyone made me want to be their best friends. I know they’re creations of my own mind but I did take a lot of the personalities from live shows and cons and interviews and such. It’s honestly difficult to explain why this is so close to my heart. It’s my baby. It wasn’t my first fic, it wasn’t my first RPF. But it carved out a section of my heart and made sure it stays there. It’s a straight up slow burn romance so coming up with bigger and bigger ways to showcase it was fun.
Saints and Sinners
Summary: Y/N starts to feel disillusioned with her fast and loose lifestyle. Though single, she decides to get her life in order to marry in the Catholic church like she always dreamed of. Changes are not always for the better, though.
Why the author likes this fic:
This was my first ever fanfiction. It was, again, supposed to be a one-shot. But the story flowed so well and so fast. The twists and turns manifested themselves as the words poured out. It’s a great romantic thriller and I have read through it a few times and of course I always find something that I want to change but overall, I’m really satisfied with how it turned out. Even if I really wish I would have left it at chapter 21 instead of putting in 22.
Author’s Fic Recommendations:
Regret and Redemption by @jensengirl83
Summary: Dean fucks up his marriage and has to win the love of his life back.
Why the author likes this fic:
This was one of my first series that I read on Tumblr back in October of 2020. I’ve read it through three times now. Brandy is an amazing author and the feelings that she evoked with this series were deep.
Dark & Stormy Night by @thinkinghardhardlythinking
Summary: Dean and Y/N get stuck riding out a storm. Some things come to light between claps of thunder.
Why the author likes this fic:
This was actually the first supernatural fic I read on tumblr. I reblogged and gushed - gushed I tell you - about how amazing it was. Saira and I became really good friends afterwards. She and B were my day 1s and the entire reason I’m writing.
The Match by @babyboibucky
Summary: CEO Bucky Barnes matches with an employee on Tinder. Chaos ensues when people start catching feelings.
Why the author likes this fic:
The way Bee writes Bucky is outstanding. It’s such a compelling story and I love all the detail she puts into it!
Life’s Lessons by @deangirl93
Summary: Dean Winchester’s new neighbor is a teacher. She catches his eye but he resists her charms because he’s a taken man. But when he finds out new information, things change!
Why the author likes this fic:
This is one of the fics that I fell in love with at the first sentence. (I love you, Rosh! It’s absolutely true!) I felt such a connection with her reader and saw so many of my own characteristics in her. She’s continuing the series and it’s going to be so amazing.
Hunted by @that-one-gay-girl
Summary: Y/N is a nurse who recently moved into a small town, what happens when one night, she wanders a bit too close to the water and things take a turn for the worst? Will Dean be able to figure out what’s going on? Will he be too late to save her? As this story unfolds, will Y/N come to regret her decision?
Why the author likes this fic:
This is one of the more recent ones that she’s written and she’s got so many twists and turns. I’m a huge true crime fan and this thriller is right up my alley. You won’t see the ending coming, that’s for sure.
Thank you for checking out this week’s Friday Feature. Be sure to check out their blog, follow, send asks, go crazy! Check out all the fics linked and be sure to REBLOG and COMMENT!
Authors love to know what you think about their work - not just praise, but constructive criticism as well.
Constructive criticism is a helpful way of giving feedback that provides specific, actionable suggestions. Rather than providing general advice, constructive criticism gives specific recommendations on how to make positive improvements. Constructive criticism is clear, to the point and easy to put into action.
