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!
All (current) AU’s are named and under construction for the future! Even if I ever hit a writer’s block with Brothers Apart, there will always be more stories ahead of us! (This could have something to do with the ~25 story backlog @neonthewrite and I have going. Every time we write a story we come up with three or four more)
Yes, there are two contests.
The first one will run through deviantart. All details can be found here. The entries must be submitted through that website with a link to the contest journal provided in the deviation.
The second contest is run through tumblr, for those that do not have a deviantart. Last year my contest was only on deviantart, but since then the fanbase of the story has expanded and it would be unfair to leave anyone out of a chance to win. All details for the tumblr contest can be found here, and the entries are accepted on tumblr, fanfiction.net, and archive of our own.
Each contest has the same grand prize, and if three writing entries and three art entries are received for either, that contest will have two grand prizes, one for each category.
You can enter into both contests, but you must have a different entry for each. All art mediums welcome, so long as it relates to Brothers Apart or any of its AU’s!
Typo of the Day
Let me knife how you think = Let me know how you think
Apparently I am knifing thoughts, beware.
Nope, this isn’t what will happen in the Mystery AU… but this exact thing will happen in Brothers Lost, and Jacob will have to deal with a snarky little guy he finds trying to snitch his pie. The guesses are getting closer, and a new preview was earned for Brothers Lost:
It was easier to see the miniature leather jacket and black tee. The tiny man even had denim jeans on and what looked like leather boots. Jacob glanced aside to the little duffel he had discarded. He wondered where the leather all came from.
The little guy looked like a little biker or something. Holy shit.
Jacob’s smile returned and he reached out with his free hand to brush at the hem of the jacket before finding one of the little arms and lightly pinching it between his finger and thumb. Jacob was amazed; those tiny fingers could practically press into the ridges of his fingerprints! One hand wasn’t enough to cover even his pinky fingertip.
“Holy shit,” Jacob echoed.
This was no hallucination. This was real. He had actually found a tiny little man in his motel room. A motel, of all places. How in the world had he even survived at a size like this?
“Dude, what are you, some kinda borrower or something?”
Dean tried to rip his arm from the grip of the thick fingers. “What are you, some kind of Godzilla or something?” he mimed back without missing a beat.
Dean managed to get Walt to make him his own leather jacket and a leather bag just like Sam… only his ended up shaped just like the bag he lost when he shrank, so he’s got a very little duffel bag! This story is under construction right this moment and we’re very excited for how it’s going!
Typo of the day: Booby Singer
Sorry, Bobby.
This is what I get for trying to work on AU stuff today.
Getting warmer, but nope, these are not what the mystery AU will be!
I might do something in the future with only Dean shrinking down being found by a kid. The interactions would be fun, and seeing how Sam comes in just as fun. Big-little brother to the rescue! Or something. But nothing on the table just yet.
A kid finding both shrunken brothers… I’m not going to say anything more than that might come up in Brothers Lost. Don’t want to spoil everything, after all. 😉
