Update at last!

On By nightmares06In UncategorizedLeave a comment

So, I have been feeling much better, and am hoping to get back to a more regular schedule with stories soon!

There will be a brief period of time upcoming in August where I will hopefully be going on vacation– AGAIN– and maybe this time I’ll actually get there and not spend it in the hospital. My parents will be celebrating their 50th anniversary, so I’ll be out of state to join them and the rest of the family.

Now, for more blog-centric items:

Keep reading

Story!

Writing has been a little difficult for me recently, due to all these real life distractions, but @neonthebright and @borrowedtimeandspace have been wonderfully patient. We are still working on the stories, and I hope the pace will be picking up now that I’m in a better place.

As for when posting resumes, I think I am going to shoot for mid August, after I return from vacation with my family. Brothers Apart and Brothers Lost will be in the poll coming up, and hopefully we’ll also have some Consulted showing up with them!

I also bought a cool book on superstitions recently, so I’ll be reading that for possible future ideas 😉

As always, if there are any questions or concerns, feel free to send in an ask!

Contest!

The contest is complete, and I will be reviewing the entries throughout the week! Listed below are the entries I received, if you DO NOT SEE YOUR ENTRY ON THE LIST, please send me a message within the week so I can add it.

Anonymous contact from bamultiverse.com:

So I decided to write a story of an oc and BA crossover for next years contest. And my oc is a kid, whose missing an arm. I was wondering how you would think Dean and Sam would react to her.

Oh, that’s exciting to hear!

I’ve been worried people might be losing interest in the contests, but knowing there’s still people out there with ideas for future submissions is really great! 

As for your OC, they’d be impressed at the ways she does things with only one arm! I’ve seen how inventive people can get while coming up with solutions, and kids are incredibly resilient and hardy when it comes to adapting to new ways of doing things. I look forward to learning more about her!

Brothers Apart Contest 2022

On By nightmares06In UncategorizedLeave a comment

It was a long 2021, but we made it through!

We postponed the contest last year, and now it’s time to get back to the fun! I myself ended up quarantined at the end of the year for possibly having COVID (still haven’t gotten hold of a home test to use and all the places that do testing around here are booked up for the next week, so home I stay). I’m thrilled to see what you all come up with this year!

From January 1st, 2022 to March 31st, 2022, there is a contest running for Brothers Apart!

All art mediums are welcome, but the art must be based off of one of the stories within the Brothers Apart Multiverse.

Literature is accepted, so feel free to enter in any story entries you want. The stipulation is if it is a multi-part story, all parts must be up by March 31st.

If you entered into the contest in a previous year and never got to finish the entry, feel free to finish that and enter it into the contest! I am accepting all types of entries this year!

Rules:

  1. Must be based on the Brothers Apart multiverse. Canon brothers are only accepted if they are dealing with Celeste’s curse victims.
  2. You may create an entry based on one of the various AU’s (Brothers Lost, Brothers Consulted, ect…) or create your own AU, but it must in some way connect to the Brothers Apart multiverse.

  10. Each entry will be displayed on the Brothers Apart tumblr, wordpress site, and on nightmares06′s deviantart homepage.
  11. If you want to change either of your entries at any time for either contest, please message me through the BA email or a note on DA.

The 2020 contest has ended and the results are in!

Thanks to everyone for participating! All entrants will receive a special sneak peek at the special excerpts from last year, I will be in contact with the link, as a thanks for all the time you put into the contest.

Because Sta.sh is acting different from what I’m used to, your new prizes will be sent to you in their unedited form, as google docs that you can view. Older prizes will be seen in their sta.sh place where I have them saved.

And now, for this year’s winners! 

Grand Prize Winner:

With a story that brought me to tears more than once, the grand prize winner of this year is

Brothers Torn Apart, by Besok!

This story is well worth the read for anyone out there who doesn’t mind a little bit of heartbreak, and I will be hoping to see a continuation of it in the future! Thanks for participating in the contest, besok, your entry was very moving!

First Place Winners:

It was incredibly hard to pick the next winner, because we got so many good entries! Even if you didn’t get the prize this year, be proud of your work!

This winner brought us those brother cutes we all know and love, so give it up for

You got a little something, by Helloootricksterr

This is just what you’d expect from Sam and Dean at any size as they get into yet another prank war!

The next winner was voted in by the readers, and by a thin margin, our winner is

Brothers Abducted, by IndigoMasquerade97

Fantastic job on the story! We all enjoyed the chance to read it!

Screenshot 2020-06-06 at 11.55.16 AM

Previous unfinished entries:

Our last category was for stories that were previously unfinished, to give the authors a chance to complete their entries. In the future, I will be allowing previously unfinished stories in the main contest, so if you have an entry that you didn’t complete this year or in any other, be sure to remember that you have another chance!

For this year, our winner goes out to

Brothers Protected, by NightmareJasmine

An AU of Brothers Asunder, this story brings out Dean in a very wolfish form! Dean Wolfheart Winchester has a forest to protect and a little brother to be reunited with!

Prompt – Is That What I Think It Is?

On By nightmares06In Uncategorized1 Comment

jayadawnyvonne-art prompted:

What about a short of tiny drunk dean with big sam?

This combined with another prompt gave me the idea to write a scene like this out from the perspective of smol Dean/big Sam and also from the perspective of tol Dean/smol Sam! That way I get some practice in on the differences between Brothers Saved and Brothers Together, and we all get some cutes.

So here we have kiddo Sam, who found Bobby’s whiskey hidden in the house, and now they’re going to share!

(You can find the other half of the prompt here)

“Check it out.”

Dean looked up from where he had been fiddling with a bent paperclip to hide his boredom. He found the motion strangely relaxing, and when he eventually wore the metal down it would separate into two separate pieces.

There was a small pile of metal rods next to Dean to show how long he’d been sitting there playing around. It was a good way to entertain himself while Sam did homework.

Dean hadn’t even noticed that his younger– but much larger– brother had run out of the room for a bathroom trip, and now the kid was standing there with a small metal flask in his hand. His eyebrows climbed his forehead.

“Is that what I think it is?”

“Yeah!” Sam grinned broadly, puffing his chest out proudly. “I found this stuck between a cookbook and a book on Latin in the kitchen, and figured we can sneak it back out there before dad and Bobby get home, they’ll never know!”

Dean shoved the remains of the staples off his lap and jumped to his feet. “Pass some this way,” he urged, kicking his staples into a pile.

Twisting the cap off, Sam judged the size of the flask compared to Dean. “Think this’ll be enough?” he asked as he poured a drop into the cap and held it out.

“Perfect,” Dean said, looking into the cap as he took it from Sam. He knew it was hard for his younger but much larger brother to judge the amount of food and drink when they were sharing, which was how he ended up with a bucketful of whiskey. 

There was no way Dean would be finishing it, but he’d give it a good try.

Once Sam was sure that Dean was set, he took a sip from the flask. Then gagged. “You like this stuff?” he sputtered.

With a grin, Dean hefted up the cap and took a big gulp from it. He wiped off his mouth with the back of his hand. “You bet, gigantor!” he called up teasingly. “Good thing I’m the one with the bigger serving!”

Sam rolled his eyes, looking away from Dean for a moment before taking a deep breath and looking at the flask. It took every ounce of strength in him to take another sip, and swallow it without spitting it out.

The burning warmth of the whiskey settled pleasantly in his middle. Once he got past the bitter taste, it wasn’t a bad drink.

He just had to get used to it.
