So excited! *Bounces* All OC’s always welcome ❤ They make the world go round in the writing world, after all. Orchid is so teeny, just the size that Kara is. Can’t wait to meet them! Just don’t forget to have it all posted before March 31st ends, of course.
Of course! I’d love to see what you come up with for the contests! Send the note on DA or send an email to brothersapart.spn@gmail.com with the link to your contest entry, and I’ll reblog it to the tumblr. That way all entries are easy to locate for the end of the contest.
Prize announcement is on January 21st, so stay tuned to see what you’ll win!
The first one will run through deviantart. All details can be found here. The entries must be submitted through that website with a link to the contest journal provided in the deviation.
The second contest is run through tumblr, for those that do not have a deviantart. Last year my contest was only on deviantart, but since then the fanbase of the story has expanded and it would be unfair to leave anyone out of a chance to win. All details for the tumblr contest can be found here, and the entries are accepted on tumblr, fanfiction.net, and archive of our own.
Each contest has the same grand prize, and if three writing entries and three art entries are received for either, that contest will have two grand prizes, one for each category.
You can enter into both contests, but you must have a different entry for each. All art mediums welcome, so long as it relates to Brothers Apart or any of its AU’s!
Yep! You can enter each contest once, so long as you have a different entry for both. So if you’ve got more than one idea, you’re more than welcome to submit them both, so long as one goes through deviantart and the other goes through fanfiction/AO3/tumblr. The entries must be different for each contest 🙂
Information on the deviantart contest here and for the tumblr contest here.
From January 1st, 2016 to March 31st, 2016, 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 Universe.
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.
Rules:
Must be based on Brothers Apart. Canon brothers will not be accepted and neither will the stories I have written that are not related to the AU. (An Ounce of Courage, Reversal of Fate, The Comeback Kid, Afraid, ect…)
You may create an entry based on one of the various AU’s (Brothers Lost, Brothers Together, ect…) or create your own AU, but if it is canon brothers, it is not Brothers Apart, and therefore not accepted, unless they’re interacting with the BA bros.
This contest is run alongside the same contest on my deviantart profile. You may enter into each contest, but must have two different entries.
Everyone is welcome to enter except for @nightmares06, since I will be running the contest. 😉
You may include any OC’s from the stories in any artwork or writing (i.e. Walt, Nixie, Kara…)
or create your own OC’s to interact with them! It’s fun to do!
For the tumblr contest, you may upload your entry to tumblr, fanfiction.net or archiveofourown.com.
For fanfiction.com or archive of our own entries, please send a message with the location of your entry to brothersapart.spn@gmail.com so it can be displayed on tumblr.
For the deviantart contest, send a note to nightmares06 with the entry to ensure that it is added to the contest journal. Also provide a link to the contest journal. All deviantart entries must be submitted to the deviantart site.
Each entry will be displayed on the Brothers Apart tumblr, and the deviantart entries will also be displayed in the deviantart journal.
If you want to change your entry at any time for either contest, please message me through the BA email or a note on DA.
If enough entries are received for either contest (three art entries and three writing entries), I will split that contest further and have writing and art as their own separate entries with their own grand prize. If this happens, there will be an announcement on either the deviantart journal or the tumblr profile, whichever one is affected. This means there could be as many as four grand prizes!
The prize is something that must be mailed to you (and you’ll find out what it is soon!) so you must be comfortable sharing your address and name. All personal data shared with me will never be shared with anyone else and will be deleted after the package is shipped.
If there are any questions, please ask through the tumblr, deviantart or email!
It’s only been a few months on the tumblr and look how far we’ve all come with Brothers Apart! We’ve got all new AU’s in development and a whole slew of stories we can’t wait to bring to you! I got a wonderful cowriter and coadmin and all you amazing followers! Thank you for making this all possible!
Jacob Andris is my ( @neonthewrite‘s ) character. His canon storyline can be found in my original work, Fairy Tales: Bowman of Wellwood. That happens to be the same story from which Bowman Leafwing, featured in A Lich of Sense, originates. Jacob is normally human sized, however for the Extra Borrower Kid AU, he has become a victim of Celeste’s shrinking curse, the same as Sam Winchester.
Readers of mine know Jacob as a well-meaning kid who took a little time to get used to the idea of small folk existing (much to Bowman’s eternal annoyance). This crossover AU explores how Jacob deals with being the small one this time around. At least he’s got help!
Jacob’s been downsized, and Sam rescued him from the witch along with the help of Walt and Mallory! After helping raise the teen as his own little brother, Sam is ready to take Jacob out to the rooms to help gather supplies. Without Walt for a chaperone.
What could go wrong?
The table itself had the standard motel pamphlets sitting on it in the center and a pen that was longer than Sam or Jacob was tall, along with a listing of the channels for the TV. Everything was haphazardly left lying about in a heap, making it hard to tell if there was anything that might not be missed, or anything that could be useful.
When Jacob reached the top, Sam offered him a hand to help him over the edge. He eyed the immense door at the other end of the room while he did so, narrowing his eyes at the serene sunlight that filtered its way into the room.
Deceptively calm.
“Thanks,” Jacob muttered, brushing his hands off on his jeans. He took a second to let himself be in awe of the view this time. The table was barely half the height of an average human. But Jacob might as well be standing on a building a few stories tall. It was still bizarre to him. Sam seemed like he’d gotten used to it, and Jacob was never sure how.
There were some water spots near the edge of the table that suggested a wet cloth had been wiped over it hastily. But that didn’t rule out the possibility of there being crumbs of something left behind on the table. The maids were hasty, most of the time.
Jacob started towards some of the pamphlets left on the table, thinking he’d take a quick glance under them. He shot one look back at where his hook was secure on the edge of the table. It felt weird to leave it behind like that, though he remembered Walt telling him why they did that. Even so, he hated the thought of losing the simple length of twine, since a lot of his lifestyle depended on it now.
Jacob paused and scuffed his boot over a nick in the table, a gouge the length of his arm. He raised an eyebrow at it. “Looks like someone got pissed,” he mused. The solid wood of the table seemed beyond sturdy, considering it was thicker than his body. The thought of someone marring its surface like that (probably by accident even) was almost unsettling. Humans were powerful.
“See anything?”
Sam pushed aside a few pamphlets of his own on the other side of the table, even going as far as to check between the pages. “No,” he sighed, “nothing.” Standing, he kicked a few to the side, making one sheaf of paper float down and slide over close to Jacob. “At least we still have the dresser and the nightstand to check. Stuff falls behind the nightstands here all the time and nobody ever checks them.”
Sam made his way over to Jacob, stepping on the papers cautiously so that they didn’t go sliding and send him flying. He ignored how big the letters were compared to his boots, used to seeing the scale difference after thirteen years spent this size. At 23 years of age, he’d been downsized longer than he’d been human. Compared to the scant 3 years that Jacob had under his belt, Sam was a seasoned veteran at this new life.
He had only reached the edge when he heard it.
The thundering growl of an engine right outside the door.
Sam’s heart froze. They were far away from any way out of the room. Far from the vent, and up high on a table. “Fuck,” he cursed. “We’ve gotta go.”
Congratulations, anon! You’ve guessed the premise of the Mystery AU! I’m very happy that someone managed to figure it out. I know it was driving everyone bonkers trying to sort out what it could be. Most of the AUs are dreamed up initially by nightmares06; this is the only one (so far 😉 ) that I came up with myself.
We’ll figure out a sneak peek soon. This Extra-Borrower-Kid AU, along with Brothers Together, Brothers Lost, and the yet-unnamed Kid-Finds-Sam AU will be featured in a poll after A Lich of Sense finishes posting to determine which story will be posted (in the same slot that Brothers Together currently holds with Hershey Kisses and Salt Lines; we’ll call it the AU slots, Monday and Wednesday).
Okay but for real you have no idea how excited I was to see that this one was guessed. >w<
Update from @nightmares06: expect the sneak peek tomorrow! Any ideas for names for this AU are welcome!
