It's DECEMBER. I... don't even know what to do with that information. It feels like it was just summer, or at the very least just Halloween. Jeez.
There is a storm warning for my area right now, with ~hundred mile per hour winds~. It's looked ambiguously like dusk or dawn like ever since the sun came up, which feels vaguely post-apocalyptic. Somewhat appropriately, I spent my whole morning reading
mpreg fic. I don't know why! I didn't mean to! And I feel really uncomfortable about the fact that I actually enjoyed it. Perhaps this is a downward spiral sparked off by my interest in het lately. If I ever write kidfic, feel free to shoot me.
In all seriousness though, my brain seems to be suffering some kind of Wincest backlash. I really need to find my way back to writing that pairing with my own interests in mind, because in writing something as huge as
Driving Down the Darkness - and doing it for so long - I had to keep reframing the way I saw Sam/Dean. I filtered out a lot of random details and anecdotes I might have otherwise throw in to make myself happy, just because I was conscious of not wanting to disrupt the general feeling of season one. It's entirely possible that I didn't meet that goal anyway, but that was the challenge of writing the story at all! Aaaand now I'm awkwardly trying to find my way back into my Wincest comfort zone, plagued by the paranoid sensation that I might be fucking with canon too much. May the feeling pass quickly.
I found this link via an icon post that's since been taken down, but there's a lot of mind-blowingly lovely Sam/Dean (and J2) artwork over here. Some of it is delightedly NSFW. The site's in Japanese, so fuck if I know anything it says at allll, but still. HOT. (I've taken the links down because the artist in question might not want them linked.)
