Good thing it’s only a few hours away then 🙂 Lets all find out what happens to the wee-est sprite around!

Now that HKaSL is complete, Lich will be posting in its place all three nights.
- April 5th 10pm – Lich 19
- April 7th 10pm – Lich 20
- April 10th 10pm – Lich 21
- April 12th 10pm – Lich 22
- April 14th 10pm – Lich 23
- April 17th 10pm – Lich 24
And so on until Lich concludes, after which a new story will take its place. We will be updating one story at a time now, but that story gets three updates a week.
Weekly updates – Sunday @ 10pm, Tuesday @ 10pm, Thursday @ 10pm
Also – expect there to be an announcement soon when the stories switch to 9pm posting times. Because I am up for work at 5 and not the type to stay up late anymore.
All times EST.
Portability is definitely not why I write on this scale.
First things first, the main reason you see Sam standing at 4 inches tall is because the majority of my stories are either Brothers Apart, or AUs based on Brothers Apart. The scale is not going to change between them.
Second, I do have other stories that work with different scales. Reversal of Fate and An Ounce Of Courage both use the scale where Sam/Dean stand at 3 inches tall. This scale was discarded for BA because if he’s in it for the long haul, he’s going to need to do things for himself. He is not dependent on Dean in any way as some people seem to assume. Sam survived most of his life without his family around and could easily survive without them. He stays with Dean for reasons all his own.
–Sidenote here: In the horror story, Jacob is reduced down to barely an inch and a half tall and we’ll see exactly why that’s not a good thing. It’s a horror story for a reason.
I also won’t work with the Swift scale (Found in Gulliver’s Travels and The Borrowers). Since I write for enjoyment and I don’t enjoy writing my characters at 6 inches tall, you won’t find that here.
Lastly, the scales I and @neonthewrite use are not 4 inches = 6 feet.
Sam stands 4 inches tall, but his actual height is 6′4″. This gives us a ratio of about 1/19. If we put him and Bowman next to each other, they’re both 4 inches tall. Same scale, right?
Wrong! Bowman is actually the equivalent of 6′2″ in height. So he’s tall, but not quite at Sam’s height. He’s going to be disgruntled if they ever stand at the same scale and he comes to discover this human he can look straight in the eye is actually taller than him. Bowman’s ratio is about 1/18.5.
Oh my! I’m sure he’d think it a good joke, but I hope he wouldn’t go too far with it! It can be hard convincing someone so small that it was an innocent prank, especially if it poked at their pride. (Small Dean would not go for this, there’s at least a chance with small Sam).
I do see Dean getting flipped off at a minimum for retaliation, though.
“A Lich of Sense” Ch. 17 Live Blog
Oy. A long week finally over, and it’s April Fools’ Day! Nonetheless, how excited I am for more Wellwood shenanigans is no joke ^-^
Overbrotective Dean, activate!
Actual line from a chat while writing a BA AU story.
Since we can’t pick a favorite and we want everyone to get involved, at the end of A Lich of Sense, I’ll host a poll! It’ll go up on dA and tumblr, and the story that wins will be what posts afterwards! You’ll get three story titles to chose from, one from Brothers Adopted, one from Brothers Lost and finally Brothers Found.
Later polls will include other AU’s and probably the next Brothers Apart story, and we’ll just keep rolling from there!
Sam is not at a scale where this would be a problem. He might be much smaller than a regular human, but like a mouse, he’s a small mammal that would drink the water. Mice are smaller than Sam and are able to drink water without an issue, as we can see by their survival for millennia.
The surface tension of the water (what makes it ‘sticky’), is not too strong for them to drink. The same goes for Sam’s people. The smallest living mammal is barely 2.5 inches long at its longest, and these shrews do not choke on water when they drink. If we go smaller than an inch for scale, perhaps the cohesion of water might begin to be an issue for survival, but my fics never go down to this scale.
Another factor in any gt story is ‘suspension of disbelief,’ a term embraced by all science fiction writers. Certain parts of gt are not supportable in the real world, no matter how much we wish it so.
I do love Garth! He’s always a ton of fun on the show. The hard part is deciding how he’ll react, since he was only on the show a few times. I don’t ever want to mess up such a wonderful character.
Caleb isn’t someone we get to see for long, so I don’t think of him right away. I wish we’d gotten more of a look at John’s friends, especially him and Pastor Jim. They seemed to be rich characters.
And then they were dead.
Good thing there’s no Meg in my ‘verse so far! (Rumsfeld is very happy for this)
There will be other characters from Supernatural making appearances throughout the different stories, that’s for sure.
