February 12th excerpt:

Dean shoved Sam in the opposite direction. “Now!” he shouted.

Sam would know what to do.

In unison, the two brothers tossed themselves forward with their knives. Almost at the same time, twin silver blades cut into the hands, one on each side. They needed to get the hands out of their way. If they couldn’t manage that, they wouldn’t have a ghost of a chance at escaping.

Well, I don’t have any plans in mind currently, but I’ve discussed it with a few friends before. All I’ve got is ideas I might never get around to writing, considering how thick in work and other stories I’m buried in! ( All ideas dreamed up with inotnedloh)

  • Tiny Dean being Charlie’s wingman and pointing out the hot chicks from his pace on her shoulder. Also giving her advice on guys to avoid. And if any guys try and put an arm around her shoulder he’s ready to stab!
  • Sam and Dean with someone out to get them posing as action figures in her collection. ( I’m gonna be honest, Brothers Lost is my new favorite thing )
  • Tiny Charlie dancing with her action figures.

If anyone wants to give them a shot, let me know! I’m always up for some more stories to read.

Just be sure to credit the ideas to inotnedloh and @nightmares06 if you use the ones here. ^-^

Until then, has everyone checked out @little-miss-maggie‘s tiny Charlie fic? If not, I highly recommend it!

Oh, these brothers wouldn’t even know where to start if they switched places. Everything is suddenly small for Sam, and Dean won’t expect all the towering heights he’s surrounded with. They really aren’t prepared to walk in each other’s shoes, and Dean’s fear of heights would do him no favors. Sam won’t know his own strength at all, and he’s going to have an unnaturally fragile Dean around to watch out for. 

February 11th excerpt:

Jacob grinned at a sudden thought. “Hey, maybe we’ll get you back in California sometime. Hollywood’s bound to see a few ghosts now and then, right?”

Dean sat down next to the sausage as Jacob talked, taking a whiff of his ouzo. The bittersweet fragrance gave him a shock of nostalgia, the tint of licorice in the air another smell he’d never expected to experience again.

“We could always get a tour on set in Hollywood,” Dean said, going along with Jacob. “I mean, I’m sure Sammy’s always wanted to meet a star from the Gilmore Girls.

It’s completely up to you if you want to submit them together or separate. If you decide to do them separately, you would upload one to deviantart, and the other to either tumblr, archive of our own, or fanfiction.

Once it’s uploaded and ready to go, it’s best to send me a link to the entry through email, and I’ll either reblog it or post a link to it on the tumblr. And, if it’s a tumblr entry, just be sure to tag the blog in it.

You’ve still got plenty of time, so fine tune to your heart’s content! ^-^ (I can’t wait to see them! :D)

Innovations of the Burrow

The littles that live out in the fields behind Bobby’s home have many different innovations. Because there’s so many different littles that find their way there (mostly with Rumsfeld’s help when he finds them wandering), they have a larger skill set than in other areas.

  • The stream that runs by one of the back entrances is full of minnows, so the more adept men and women will spear them, or careful nets are created to net them with.
  • They keep a bed of coals lit at all times in their largest chamber. It provides a place to cook fish, bugs or small animals that they need to fend off along with a source of heat in the winter.
  • Grass is woven into baskets by the older littles, and they teach the younger children the same skill.
  • Berries are collected from the nearby area. From the berries they can create a variety of jams and wines, and vinegar from the wines that age.
  • They make their clothing out of a variety of fabrics and plant materials. They have never had a tanner like Walt come to the burrow, so that is one skill that is lacking. His boots, leather jackets, leather satchels and canteens that he makes (the canteens dreamed up in a conversation with @chewbaccaaah), are all more durable than the fabric and cloth shoes used by the burrow. To gather fabric, they need to range farther than normal, sometimes venturing to the other homes in the area (Bobby’s was avoided as of the events in Adventures at Bobby’s).

Arthur and Alyssa Harbor commissioned from Heartstores

It’s going to be part of one of the AU’s we already have under construction. This was actually a story we came up with not long after we finished writing A Lich of Sense, and right around when we realized there was no reason to stop writing stories together.

  • Dean is big, so it’s not a part of Brothers Lost.
  • Brothers Asunder hasn’t started yet, so it’s not a part of that series.
  • Jacob is not (yet?) a part of Brothers Together. (Though he and Oscar would be so adorable. The tallest guy with the smolest smol)

Which AU it’s in will remain a secret, but it is actually the third story in that AU! And, it’s the longest, angstiest, most terrifying story we’ve ever come up with. It’s also in the middle of being edited, so it’s not ready for upload.

Remember, it’s going to be up to a vote which story comes after A Lich of Sense stops posting, so even we don’t know when it’ll post!

We’re not actually sure! Since we’ve got a few stories written out, we’ve decided to change how things post after Hershey Kisses and Salt Lines wraps up!

  • Each week, there will be three chapters uploaded.
  • Only one story will post at a time.
  • Which story posts will be decided by poll, so you followers will be choosing your next story.
  • We’re just as excited as you are to see the story post.

We’ve very glad to hear everyone’s excited for the story! It started out as an experiment. We wanted to see how we did writing horror, since @neonthewrite is amazing with detail, and I’ve begun to specialize in suspense and action sequences. We’ve put our best skills to the test writing this story, and anticipate the feedback we get!

February 10th excerpt:

Sam met Dean on the dresser, wrinkling his nose in disgust. “Licorice? ” He shuddered. “They actually make a drink that tastes like that?”

Dean glared at him. “That is a classic snack, almost as good as popcorn! It’s like… chewy pieces of heaven.”

With a grimace, Sam replied, “That’s funny. It tastes like dirt to me, so you’ve got an interesting idea of heaven.”
