I don’t remember if I answered this… found it while cleaning up messages, whoops.
The next contest will most likely be held next January, 2018! It’s one of my favorite parts of the new year! ❤
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for the contest for prizes they’d like to win, send them right in~ I’m always open to suggestions.
No problem!
It is definitely the longest story we’ve written, with the closest second place story lagging behind by around 20 chapters right now!
Jacob in Wonderland will be over 70 chapters long, and we won’t have a more exact estimate because the chapters might be adjusted as needed.
(They’re long, and harrowing)
You see it as pointless, I see is as not?
I mean, it is my AUs and stories. I could just go ahead and post what I want, when I want to. We decided to randomize what posts next by opening it up for a vote, the reason we don’t list the AUs by the story names is because we don’t want any stories completely ignored in favor of others. I still have to occasionally put up a story regardless of the vote so it doesn’t fall by the wayside, but it’s better than just a string of Brothers Lost or Brothers Asunder posting without the others having a chance. And we all love Brothers Apart, but since I write most of it alone, there’s far fewer stories for it.
Plus, I do give people plenty of help deciding what to post. If you go to the Sneak Peeks link at the top of the tumblr (found here on mobile), there are actually the story titles listed in the peeks for everyone to browse, with one or two exceptions (because I have a full time job, and occasionally some things get overlooked).
TL;DR:
These stories are mine and will be posted how I decide, the poll is a fun way to involve our readers and randomize the AUs at the same time. Deal with it.
Votes are not accepted through asks, please vote here if you want your vote to be counted.
We’re just as excited!
… We don’t think Jacob is quite as excite as the rest of us, but for those of you who are, head to this link and cast your vote!

Yep, it was! It’s actually a direct continuation of the excerpt from yesterday–
Jacob glanced over the information printed on the card while he dug his cell phone from his pocket. On any other day, he might have joked about the dark green ink Bowman had used to cross out the name John Bonham printed on the card and scripted in Dean and Sam Winchester instead.
We try to keep the excerpts in chronological order as best we can, so there’s some you’ll see continue right off from the last one, and others that will leap ahead, they never post out of order.

It’s generally what happens if someone is calling with bad cell reception, or there’s a bad connection between the phones. If you want to hear it, I believe the call from John to Dean in Long-Distance Call, Supernatural season 3 episode 14, has static coming over John’s voice while they talk.
This was a tricky one, not gonna lie, anon! Not for the switcheroo or anything, but just because we haven’t done something like that yet. As it is, Jacob’s timeline is already pushed back a bit to line up with the Winchesters, so it’s not like we couldn’t move him back a bit more to be older than Sammy.
In that case, and assuming we’re talking about a Brothers Adopted scenario with them both tinified, Jacob would be a very patient and chill older brother figure for little Sammy. I can see him quietly listening while Sam goes on and on about what worries him, asking questions, and trying to make sense of the new situation he’s found himself in. Jacob would understand and he’d be a good source of protective hugs when things got overwhelming for the kiddo.
The thing about Jacob is he’s pretty much always a teddy. The difference this time is he’d be older, and the older he gets, the better he is at maintaining his calm. He’d be the most chill.
Unless it called for it. If Sam got captured by a certain giant older brother, that giant might find a little Jacob charging in to try to get him back. We can only hope they’d sort things out before Jacob ended up sticking his nail-sword through Dean’s hand.
Return to Oz is a full 16 chapters of fun, leaving us with 6 to go currently before the ultimate fate of Oz is discovered!
They would be a little surprised to learn that humans have souls at all. Not because they think they’re monsters necessarily, but to sprites, their souls are like little pieces of the Spirit they pray to. Since humans don’t have one of the Spirits connected to them, it would be a bit surprising to find out that they have souls from an entirely different source.
Knowing how powerful a soul is would be less of a surprise. Souls are nothing to be trifle with, no matter the source. They might be worried about where those human souls go, if they don’t have a Spirit that will take them in. Heaven and Hell would not be easy concepts for them to grasp.
Bowman himself would be as belligerent as he is about anything a human tells him. Especially if he can’t actually see or feel any proof of it. If he actually saw a human soul, he’d be both mollified and also wondering why it’s just kinda floating around. Doesn’t it have places to be. Free it.
