I do write with various partners, and it’s always a fun experience. I’m not against writing with people in the future, but I do prefer to see examples of their writing before starting. For @neonthewrite, I saw her contest entry and went on to read her original story about Bowman Leafwing. I was the one to put the idea out there to write a story together in the first place.

For the moment, I’m closed to any new partners. I have four stories in progress, and due to the AU’s we’ve been writing, @neonthewrite has first dibs on writing with me. It’s addicting to put our characters together, and we’re so happy we got such positive feedback on them. On top of those four rp’s, ever since starting them, my work has grown more stressful, so I’ve got less free time to myself to write and I tend to focus my efforts on one story at a time, which means other partners don’t get as many replies. I’m very single minded, and I apologize for that.

Chances are, if someone asks me to rp, it’ll be a no.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I feel the same about writing. It cheers me up on long days at work and before I started writing at all, I would spend most of my days depressed. Now I’m cheerful most of the time and just deal with anxiety that flares up from time to time.

Don’t be afraid to enter! All skill levels are welcome, and I won’t be biased towards how good your layout is, that’s for sure. This is about having fun and writing for the series the way you see it, or what you envision for it.

Everyone makes mistakes, you should have seen me trying to edit the stories for the books. My own stuff makes me cringe some days, and I really hope all that work was worth it. I’d love to see what you come up with!

Oh, and @neonthewrite was scared to write Sam and Dean during the contest last year. Even after all this time, she’s still scared to write the brothers. So you’re never alone in being nervous.

(I’ve been stuck on just mobile before, I know just how you feel)

We’re so happy that you’re enjoying them (and especially happy that everyone is looking forward to seeing Jacob show up, he’s gotta be one of my ( @nightmares06 ) favorite characters to rp against), and we are currently leaning in this direction. It would be weird to go back to one post a week, really. Though I’m also not against the option to switch to only one story posting at a time, with more updates. It would put a stop to constant BA updates, though, so we’ll wait to see if anyone else likes that option.

Does anyone else agree with this idea?

If I do this, there won’t be weekly BA updates. Instead, you’ll get a poll before a new story starts posting. The poll will include the next finished story in each series, including BA if it’s done. BA stories do take longer to write than the AU’s.

That story would have three weekly updates, at least for the time being, and since it’s the only one posting it would be easier to keep track of the updates.

Sam and Dean were caught up in a case at the time, and it went by without them noticing. It was before the events of Taken, so Sam was more relaxed at that time.

Dean did find a gingerbread man that was Sam’s size and let his brother have it. Sam had no real idea what to do with it.

They had a much happier time together when Sam’s birthday rolled around.

That is currently up in the air!

We are working on the stories that may come after BT. Originally, the plan was to wait until Lich finished posting, because of the way Brothers Found has spoilers for that story in it during the course of the series. That is the first AU that we wrote out, and we were experimenting with how our characters interacted and having a ball throwing them all together.

Brothers Adopted and Brothers Lost don’t have any spoilers in them, but we’re still in the progress of editing these. Brothers Together, at least for Hershey Kisses and Salt Lines, was more of a seat of your pants story that had minimal post editing. The other stories got a lot more development in them. Most likely, they’ll be completed or near completion, at least for the first stories in each of those by the end of BT. (Brothers Asunder has not been developed at this time past the initial idea, it will not be joining the stories as of yet)

So we’ll leave it up to our followers. Later on, we’ll run a poll asking if you guys want us to start posting after BT concludes, or wait the way we’d originally intended.

And then, to decide which AU goes first… you’ll vote on the stories and the winner goes up!

We don’t have an exact time line for when we will have smol Jacob’s premier just yet, but we’ve been considering moving up when we post the first of the AU’s we have under construction. We’re still working on editing, having them beta’d and actually writing them currently, but expect to see a poll soon for everyone’s input on how it’s done! And we’ll also have a poll to decide which AU is posted, though Brothers Found will not be included in the poll until after A Lich of Sense is concluded because of possible spoilers included in that series.

For anyone interested in finding more about Jacob in his canon storyline with Bowman Leafwing, check out Fairy Tales: Bowman of Wellwood.

It’s been great fun seeing how Jacob gets along with the Winchester bros. Where those two are generally intense personalities with stubbornness for the ages, Jacob is a much more laid back kid (though he tends to be a bit cheeky when he’s smol! 😉 ). He brings all the chill when he’s dealing with the Winchesters, and sometimes that’s a very good thing. They need chill.

Here’s some of Jacob, and the face claims that @neonthewrite picked out while developing him:

And, in the Brothers Adopted storyline, this is how Jacob looked right when he was cursed like Sammy. Dylan Sprayberry.

He will indeed! During the Brothers Adopted series, Dean and Jacob will have a run-in, and Sam isn’t around to straighten things out.

“Hey.” Leaning forward, Dean tapped against the glass vase a few times to get the guy’s attention again. “I already know you can talk so this silent treatment crap ain’t gonna do you any good.” Again, he felt ridiculously oversized seeing his finger next to someone so small. A casual tap like that against the kid might end up knocking him over. Hell, a stiff breeze might knock him over.

For a moment, all of Jacob’s fear vanished from his face, replaced by confusion. He frowned. The action hadn’t had any effect on his desire to speak to the human holding him captive. The scrutiny and the noise with the human that close had his nerves back in place in no time, but not without Jacob giving the human a look that said Really? He squared his shoulders, took a step forward, and drew a fist back. He punched the glass as hard as he could, defiance and frustration in the action. See how well this works? his expression seemed to say.

Dean was briefly caught off guard by the punch. It showed a spark of defiance he hadn’t expected, to say the least. A small bit of his former playful demeanor rose up in him and he found himself actually grinning for a moment. The angry facade dropped away, letting the Dean he used to be showed through in that moment.

“Oh, so that’s how it’s gonna be?” Dean asked gamely. He tapped right back at the little guy, finger rapping lightly directly opposite where the punch had landed.

Jacob flinched in surprise, the sound of another tap on the glass startling him almost as much as the sudden shift in the giant face in front of him. A smile, a genuine one, lit up the human’s expression and a playful tone had leaked into his deep voice.

Jacob glanced side to side, waiting for someone to walk around the corner somewhere and end the joke here. His fist was still held up at the ready, but he glanced at it before looking at the glass, unsure if he should even try to punch again.
