Author Spotlight

Mirrodance

When I read Mirrordance's stories I think, damn these fic are so well thought out and formed with a foreword and afterword and credits. Not to mention wonderful style. She really ought to be one of the official writers for those Supernatural books. Because those books would be really worth reading.

Title: Crossing
Author: Mirrordance
Tags: injuries(misc.) suicide attempt, concussion, brain damage, memory loss, hospitalization
Characters:Sam, Dean, John
Genre/pairing: Gen,preseries,
Type/medium: Fic
Rating: PG
Spoilers: none
Warnings: Suicide attempt

Description: 3 possible hunts that finally pushed Sam to leave for Stanford: The lines blur between good and evil on 1 a job forcing John to choose between his sons; 2 a mission to kill another hunter; and 3 a job that requires Sam to kill a child to save Dean.

Reccer’s comments: This is the story that got me hooked to this author. All 3 hunts really tell the tale of how hunting life couldn't rest well with Sam but the real clincher was the third one. Not only was the case in and of it self perfectly paced and intriguing but the outcome really brought it all to a head. I really wish this could have been an episode.

Title: Things_We_Know
Author:MirrorDance
Tags: electric shock, injuries (misc), hospitalization
Characters:Sam, Dean, John
Genre/pairing: Gen, AU
Type/medium: Fic
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: “Faith”
Warnings: Character Death, Language

Description: A salute to the classic episode Faith... would Sam still have taken a dying Dean to Reverend Roy LeGrange even if he knew that to save his brother would be at the cost of a stranger's life? Alternate ending. Warning: Character death and language

Reccer’s comments: I don't really like character death fics, but I gave it a shot because it was by Mirrordance. Its everything a deathfic ought to be; sad, hopeful, full of comfort for the hurt, angsty and full of heartfelt realistic dialouge. You feel for all the Winchester men here, although Dean is primary.

SPREAD THE WORD
(Pretty please?)
<center><a href="http://hoodie-time.livejournal.com/679457.html"><img src=" http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu86/water_curses/summermemebanner.jpg" title=""></a> <font size="4" face="Georgia"> A summer themed Dean-focused h/c comment meme </font> <small> [Click on the image to go to the meme.] Banner courtesy of <user site="livejournal.com" user="kalliel"></small></center>

A few ground-rules:

01. To change things up, we’re having a summer-themed comment meme this time around! That means we’re looking for fic OR art prompts involving heatstroke, summer colds, sunburnt!freckly!Deeeean, bee stings, the summer Dean comes back from Purgatory, etc. The list is endless, really; as long as the prompts relate even VAGUELY to summertime, they’re game. And if you have one or two that don’t fit the summer theme, go for it, just try to post some that do fit as well. Yeah. We’re not picky. ;D

This being the comm it is, prompts should of course also include Dean-centric h/c.

02. Comment to this post with your desired characters or pairings, if any, and a prompt. All genres/pairings are welcome, however this is not an RPF meme. Please focus on the fictional characters only.

03. You can leave as many prompts as you like, but one prompt per comment, please. If you've got a few, comment with each separately.

04. Your prompts can be as short or as detailed as you’d like.

05. Scroll through the comments and when/if you find a prompt you like, write a fic or create some art in reply to the comment.

06. More than one comment response to a prompt is totally acceptable, and in fact encouraged. The more fills, the better!

07. Art submissions are very much accepted too! Art larger than 800 px or so should be posted as a thumbnail that links back to the full art, please.

08. When replying to a prompt with your comment-fic or art, put 'FILLED' in your subject line as well as warning for anything that might be triggering, such as non-con, self-harm, etc. You can add anything else you want too, ie: a title if you have one/part numbers. So, your subject line should look something like this:

FILLED: Title, Character(s), genre/pairing(s), Rating, Warning(s) - if any

For further clarification:

Example: FILLED: Untitled, Dean and Sam, gen, PG-13, self-harm

It’s not a big deal if you don't do all of this, but using 'FILLED' as well as warnings will make it easier for people to find your fic, and for the mods when we’re compiling the masterlist.

09. Anonymous posting is enabled in case you’re embarrassed by your schmoopiest of schmoopy hurt/comfort fantasies or something, haha. IP logging will also be off during the weeks the meme is at it’s most active.

10. No spoilers for upcoming episodes, please. For any prompts that might contain triggers, such as non-con, self-harm, etc., you can warn for that before you get to the main part of your request, or you can use the following code to grey-out your text. Just put your prompt/text where it says to.

GREY-OUT CODE FOR TRIGGERY PROMPTS/TEXT
<table bgcolor="grey"><tr><td><font color="grey">PROMPT/TEXT GOES HERE. </font></td></tr></table>

It will look like this:

Prompity prompt!

11. Likewise, no character bashing, or rudeness in general. Be respectful – of the characters, and of each other. The mods reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments.

12. Do feed your authors/artists! They’re awesome.

13. If you want to advertise this, that’s fantastic! It would be really appreciated. Just copy and paste the code provided above into your journal.

Oh, and just a few things!

FAQ:

• Yes, if your fic gets too long for a comment-fic, you can comment with the link to it at your LJ.


• Yes, you can totally post the fics/art you write/create for this meme directly to the comm as well.


• Because it bears repeating - yes, art is more than welcome as well as fic.


• As for a timeframe - this post will be open for prompting for a few weeks. There’s no exact timeframe, because we play it by ear and don’t close it until we see it’s starting to slow down. In any case, it will stay open indefinitely for new comment-fics/fanworks and comments/feedback.

Any other questions? Feel free to PM us at the hoodietime account, or e-mail hoodietime [at] gmail [dot] com.

Lastly, HAVE FUN!

Masterlist

ETA: As of September 30th, 2012, this meme is closed for leaving new prompts. It is still OPEN, however, (and will be indefinitely) for new comment-fics/art and comments/feedback, and we’ll keep updating the masterlist as long as people keep playing. ;)

[princess-aleera.livejournal.com]

Title: The End: I Will Tell Your Story If You Die (Tell Your Story and Keep You Alive)
Author: princess_aleera
Word count: ~ 2,700
Spoilers: big spoilers for unwritten/unposted parts of The Mute!Cas Verse
Rating: NC-17? PG-13? YMMV
Warnings: major character death, grief, brief mention of dark themes, spoilers for unwritten parts of the !verse, some fluffy undertones
Disclaimer: Don’t own, don’t sue.
Characters: Dean, Sam, OCs
Pairings: Dean/Cas established relationship, Sam/Carolyn
A/N: Title is from Some Die Young, by Laleh. Again, this is not the last thing I’ll write of this story. And this probably isn’t as sad as its prequel, either – though you could always pester me with prompts, if you feel like it. I hope you’ve enjoyed their story as much as I have. <3

Night of the Hunter, Part 2 and 3/10, PG-13, Dean, OC, GEN

[gaelicspirit.livejournal.com]

Title: Night of the Hunter, Parts 2 and 3 (link to chapter 3 at the end of chapter 2)
Show: Supernatural
Author: gaelicspirit
Genre: GEN
Characters: Dean, OC (with appearances by Sam, Bobby, and Castiel)
Rating:PG-13 for language, violence, and one mature scene in chapter 1
Spoilers:Season 5, bridges episode 5.03 Good God, Ya'll to episode 5.05 The End.
Summary:Hunting isn't something Dean can simply quit. Even if his family walks away; he's survived worse than loneliness. He's survived Hell. But when an ancient and dangerous breed of vampires and a mysterious hunter cross his path, Dean learns that Hell was just the beginning.
Disclaimer: They're not mine. More's the pity. Title of the story comes from a 30 Seconds To Mars song of the same name.
Warning: This story is definitely PG-13 and might be considered borderline R in some parts for language, violence, and one mature scene in the first chapter. I trust you know your tolerance level.
Author's Notes: I decided to post chapters 2 and 3 together as one builds into the other and they are shorter than the rest. Chapter 4 will be coming in a week. Hope to see you then!
