How should posting work after Salt Lines has completed?

(since more options have come up since I asked yesterday)

  1. Finish up Salt Lines and Lich at three posts a week, then switch to one story at a time. That story may be from any AU and will post three times a week. ( here )
  2. Start another AU after Salt Lines and continue to have Brothers Apart update on Fridays.
  3. Wait to do the AU’s until after Lich has completed. ( here )

Send in the number of your choice in an ask or reply to this post. Other opinions that don’t match the choices are welcome as well! The deviantart poll is as split as I’ve ever seen it.

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.

Looking for input on when we start posting the AU’s!

Originally, we were going to start posting after Lich of Sense, since the Brothers Found series will include spoilers for that. Now, we’ve got two other series that don’t have any of that kind of spoilers.

So, send in your thoughts, or reply to this post (also weigh in on the poll found here). Should we wait until after A Lich of Sense has finished posting and perfect the stories we have in the works (ALoS is the longest BA story yet, just to warn you!) or should we start prepping them and begin posting after the Salt Lines fun has ended, including the shorts that come after the main story?

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!

Brothers Asunder is brand new, and we came up with it on this Wednesday 😉 Soon we’ll have a sneak peek for it, and you’ll all see what’s in store in the new AU! We dreamed it up when we got in a prompt for a story, and as it turns out, we’ve got a ton ideas for it! Currently we’re working on Brothers Lost, so we just haven’t gotten around to drabbling out the spoiler for the series.

Dean, where are you?

Help Needed!

Hi everyone!

All AU’s have a name but one, including one that we just got a prompt for and came up with a new idea for an entire little series (sneak peek coming… eventually. Once I have time to scribble).

So for the AU that has not been named, we need some suggestions! Jacob’s been downsized, and Sam adopted him as a little brother (link). Send in your suggestions for a “Brothers ______ ” title now!
