I post things as they occur to me. Like the other day I mentioned that I briefly considered the title Panties and Power Tools instead of Satin and Sawdust 😀 But it’s like once I’m done with a story, I forget all those fun little facts.

Didn’t you also almost name it Satin and Screwdrivers or am I making that up because it sounds dangerous and has the word screw in it? 

I still have the things in my head, I just wait for people to ask me about them because I feel like it’s me begging for attention or something, I guess. Which, yeah, it kinda is, but I love it when other authors share their little behind the scenes things. So I guess people are just gonna have to deal with it while I ramble about my writing for the next week. 😛

I think that’s a great idea! I always forget to share these things until well after the fic is finished lol

I think it would be fun to share them after the fics are finished, though. That way you’re not worried about spoiling it for people who haven’t read the whole thing but you can share things from later chapters and talk about when you got that idea or which jokes you were waiting to tell for like months. It’s like a directors cut in a way.

Anytime I see a fic where meg/bal and Lisa are friends who support cas and dean and aren’t evil or cruel I just get so ridiculously happy. It’s like the best and happiest surprise

Same!
Even when I write them as exes I try to keep them all on good terms. ‘Cause sometimes people break up for reasons that aren’t bad, right? Like you can still be friends with your exes, so I don’t see why they can’t all still get along.

I’m beginning to feel the same way. I read one the other day that I had to keep rechecking the tags because it felt like it was turning into a dcj fic, but it never did and while the fic was wonderful, I was also a little sad lol

Awh. That bites. I think the only thing worse than that would be if a fic started with dcj and then ended with them broken off and paired off differently. That would break my heart.

Oh, totally! Action/Adventure AUs are a different ball game. But how popular are those kinds of fics? I’m genuinely curious. I’ve never written one!

*shrugs* Honestly, I have no clue. I know I like them but finding fun ones is hard. But my pirate fic has the most kudos and hits this year and that was M-rated so I’d say there is an interest.

If it’s a two person couple I need a side couple. Fics centered around one ship are fine and good but it gets stale after awhile for me depending on the word count. Which is why one of my upcoming Wincest fics has background Megstiel. Sam lives with Cas & Meg and it’s definitely gonna get to the point where the four of them are friends. 😀

It depends on the world for me. Action/Adventure AUs where other things are going on usually means there’s more going on that just the couple drama so that keeps me entertained. A good side plot can help in that respect dealing with other relationships (parent-child, friends, ect.) can help, too. But yeah, there’s gotta be something else. 

I’m excited about them all being friends though! Esp if Sam is living with Meg and Cas.
