SPN_J2_xmas letter

Hallo dear creator!

So, you may be able to tell from my sign-up that I am totally the easiest recipient ever. No, really. You're making something for me. I already love it.

Rule number one is that you enjoy what you're making. If you love what you're doing, I'm going to love it too, I guarantee it. If nothing in my sign-up or blathering below interests you, throw it all out the window and make whatever the heck you feel like!

I don't really have a lot to add to my sign-up, honestly, it was pretty long as it is. I seem to be a bit of a unicorn in that I really love all the pairings with the boys. I like Wincest, early seasons or later, I love Destiel, because it's just so easy, I love Sam/Cas because they're such an odd couple and it takes some work to get them together, and I love Wincestiel most of all, because my answer when I can't decide on an OTP is to smush them all together.

I also love gen and character-based stuff, especially minor or secondary characters: Charlie, Jo, Ellen, Ash, Meg, Ruby, Jody, Bobby, Chuck, Garth, Kevin, Kevin's mom, Samandriel, Balthazar, Gabriel, Death, Naomi, Gadreel, and I'm sure others that aren't coming to mind.

Also, I guess I forgot to say it, but, no character bashing please! I totally get it if you like Wincest and hate the angels, or love Destiel but don't much care for Sam. But in that case, please just leave the character out rather than killing them needlessly or putting them through the torture mill.

I'm seeing a lot of prompts in others' sign-ups that make me go: why didn't I ask for that?! So here, a list of things I forgot to mention that I enjoy a lot:

Fluffy/Happy/Light
Snow
Snuggling for warmth
Bed-sharing
Protective Instincts
Winchesters as kids, weecest or just gen
Co-dependency where things aren't completely jacked because of it

Dark
Non-con
Dub-con - especially when there is massive angst because of it (Dean and Sam are faves here - getting together because there's no other way out of a situation is one of my iron-clad kinks for Wincest)
Evil!Sam, Demon!Dean, Badass!Castiel
Sam as a damsel in distress, Dean getting beat up, and Cas being mulishly defiant
Co-dependency where things are completely jacked because of it

One last logistical note: If you're looking for me, I'm actually over on dreamwidth at [personal profile] kate, but there's not a lot about SPN there (though I do have a dear creator letters tag that might give you even MORE ideas (because there aren't enough of those floating around). And if you want to see what I like to read and write, I'm [archiveofourown.org profile] kisahawklin at the AO3, and here are my bookmarks.

What pairings/characters would you like? Sam, Dean, and/or Castiel in any combination, gen or pairings, and/or other character-centric gen, particularly ladies (Jo, Ellen, Charlie, Jody Mills, Meg, Abbadon), though Kevin, Gabriel, Garth, or Cain would be brilliant too (also ensemble! Include everyone! I'm totally easy that way!). Random pairings other than variations of Sam/Dean/Cas: Abbadon/Dean, Dean/Mrs. Tran, Sam/Jody, Sam/Kevin, Meg/Castiel, Jo/Charlie.

What are your general 'likes'? Everything. I am so so so easy. I love so many tropes and genres and pairings. I guess to pick a few that are consistent favorites of mine: found family, redemption, pretending to be married, competence, hurt/comfort with plenty of both hurt and comfort, glimpses of a future where they're old and retired and mostly whole and mostly happy, cooking and food, and on the flip side of things, dark dark dark stuff where people are broken and never get fixed, where people die, horror, going dark side... so yeah. Um. Everything. For vids, mostly I like close matching of the footage to the music (cuts and rhythm, hitting the high and low points) and interesting use of footage (I love vids that make new stories out of canon). I also like both overviews of canon (pointing up something about the boys as they've gone through the last 9 years) or really tight stories (pointing up a small arc out of two or three episodes). For art, I love everything! Chibis, pencil sketches, photoshop, you name it. I love black and white line sketches and vivid colors, I love a lot of detail and interesting background work. I know next to nothing about art, so I just love all of it!

What are your general 'dislikes'? I prefer canon, or canon forks (what if questions are great! I'm just not interested in a mundane AU - for me, the world they live in is as much a character as the Impala), no scat, please, and I prefer not ABO.

List up to five prompts (optional):
1. Exploring the relationship of Cas as an angel and the Winchesters as vessels; I feel like the relationship there has so much potential. One of the Winchesters nearly dies and Cas has to envessel to heal him; using it as intimacy within an established relationship; as a throwback to when Cas pulled one or both of the out of hell; one of the Winchesters offering themselves as a vessel as a complete surrender to Cas. On the other side, Cas needing a vessel and negotiating a way to share consciousnesses with one of the Winchesters; using it as a way to control them; taking one over without the other knowing... so many cool possibilities.

2. The bunker! As a home base for the hunting community - a new Roadhouse/Bobby's; big holidays where any hunter nearby is invited for good food and good alcohol and a rest where they don't have to sleep with their eyes open; a headquarters for organizing hunters all over the U.S.; a high school/university, where the older hunters retire and teach the new guard.

3. Outside POV. Secondary or minor characters' take on the main characters, situations, cases, apocalypse, anything.

4. I'd love a vid concentrating on Dean as a demon - especially creative use of older footage to see how Dean might have always been heading this direction, and how maybe it had happened earlier in the season than anyone might have guessed. Another vid I'd love to see is an alternate Season 7, where Cas stays God for a while. I so wanted that for S7, and finding a way to show what Cas-as-God would do from his available footage would be brilliant.

5. Wings! Wingfic and wingart are two of my favorite things. Give all of them surprise wings, have them play with Cas's, turn them into pegasus..es? Just, wings!
