It depends on the region they are from, and their upbringing.

Many girls will simply make do with makeshift versions of tampons and pads, using fabric (preferably wool, if it’s available). There are a few outliers that bleed into their clothing, which is not unheard of for us humans, either.

Really, the blood is less of a problem for them than the pain is. The people that live in motels have no access to herbal remedies that they might have in the wild, leaving them with no painkillers. Human medication is a huge risk, and could do more damage than help.

(Tampons and pads haven’t been around for long, so our society is the exception, not the norm, and women have dealt with this issue since the dawn of time)

Bras are easier. Many women simply wear baggier clothing. Fashion is of no consequence for them, though if they do have tight clothing to wear they can use a wrap around their torso to substitute for a makeshift bra.

@nightmares06:

For me, my answer will always be angst. I love it, I love the emotions it brings out, I jump into writing it with careless glee. Fluff is so much harder for me, though the angstier the angst, the fluffier the fluff will get. But angst… there are times when I can go on forever. I figure if I can my myself feel all these feelings while I write (cold and heartless as I am), it’ll work on everyone else when they read it.

@neonthewrite:

I think I’m a little more evenly split. It depends on what mood takes me, but I like either fluff or angst, and I agree with the above. The fluffier the fluff, the angstier the angst can be. Honestly we have both hit each other hard with feels on either side of the spectrum as we muse about story ideas. But the angsty ones always come back and linger with us, I think.

Beware.

Well, in gt there always seem to be ideas involving vore or at the very least, mouthplay. For myself, the original idea to have it in the Comeback Kid wasn’t my idea, it was actually my writing partner’s.

For me, vore is touch and go. When I was a kid, if there was a show on that involved vore of any kind, even something silly and dorky like Donald Duck’s three nephews shrinking down to get a bad guy out of their uncle, I’d be terrified for days afterwards. It bordered phobia for me. Nowadays, I’m much better around it, and don’t mind the occasional vore fic, but I should warn ya. When I write, I like my writing to border realism, so if there’s vore, it’s not going to be safe vore.

I have a feeling those little guys would end up with pie, but they’d get out of the room as fast as possible regardless. It’s dangerous to be around any humans, and they might seem friendly, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

None of that would stop Dean from coming back to their room later on and demanding an explanation for all of it. How do they know about little people like him? Do they plan on trying to find anyone else in the motel?

He’d want to make sure the others at the motel weren’t in any danger before letting his guard down.

You can count canon Jacob in with the friendly humans too. Bowman has bopped those lessons into his head many times. We’ll just have to see if Sam and Dean do the same with Jacob the drifter.

The visions are from when I first started writing the series, and they’ve been phased out in lieu of Sam’s knack. I found his new ability (and Dean’s, when he’s small), to be more fitting to the series as a whole.

Dean can find whatever he seeks and Sam knows when he is sought.

A fitting pair.

Before Sam hit the road with Dean, their family lived with an outhouse. It was placed under the motel, as deep as they could go to where they were able to dig holes. This was also used by Walt to dispose of the remains of the rats he would kill and skin. When full they would cover up the hole and find a different place to dig.

Afterwards, it became easier. Sam can simply use the sink in the bathroom. He’s able to get himself around the entire motel room without any help, and he doesn’t have to worry about being grabbed if he’s out in the open. For his teeth he can snitch some toothpaste from Dean while he’s up there. There’s only been one time Dean almost walked in on Sam while he was using the sink, and the scolding Dean got sent him almost running.

I’m probably not going to go any deeper in depth on this subject. Size and location have never been seen as a detriment on living for me. People will find a way.

Oh, dear. Poor Jacob, and his tumbly nature! We’ll just have to wait and find out. I can’t imagine the scolding he’d get if he caused an earthquake in the room, lol.

As for chapter length, I must point out that with the development of my writing style has some changes to how chapters are set up. I gravitate towards suspense and anxiety, therefore we’ve gone from chapters that were usually ~3k to 4k words to chapters that can vary from ~1.5k to 5k words. With three updates a week, this shouldn’t be a problem. And there will be times that the word count goes under!

Because word count should never drive how a story is set up. The writing itself should do that.
