Contest results!

The 2020 contest has ended and the results are in!

Thanks to everyone for participating! All entrants will receive a special sneak peek at the special excerpts from last year, I will be in contact with the link, as a thanks for all the time you put into the contest.

Because Sta.sh is acting different from what I’m used to, your new prizes will be sent to you in their unedited form, as google docs that you can view. Older prizes will be seen in their sta.sh place where I have them saved.

And now, for this year’s winners! 

Grand Prize Winner:

With a story that brought me to tears more than once, the grand prize winner of this year is

Brothers Torn Apart, by Besok!

This story is well worth the read for anyone out there who doesn’t mind a little bit of heartbreak, and I will be hoping to see a continuation of it in the future! Thanks for participating in the contest, besok, your entry was very moving!

First Place Winners:

It was incredibly hard to pick the next winner, because we got so many good entries! Even if you didn’t get the prize this year, be proud of your work!

This winner brought us those brother cutes we all know and love, so give it up for

You got a little something, by Helloootricksterr

This is just what you’d expect from Sam and Dean at any size as they get into yet another prank war!

The next winner was voted in by the readers, and by a thin margin, our winner is

Brothers Abducted, by IndigoMasquerade97

Fantastic job on the story! We all enjoyed the chance to read it!

Our last category was for stories that were previously unfinished, to give the authors a chance to complete their entries. In the future, I will be allowing previously unfinished stories in the main contest, so if you have an entry that you didn’t complete this year or in any other, be sure to remember that you have another chance!

For this year, our winner goes out to

Brothers Protected, by NightmareJasmine

An AU of Brothers Asunder, this story brings out Dean in a very wolfish form! Dean Wolfheart Winchester has a forest to protect and a little brother to be reunited with!

Jayadawnyvonne with their two entries found here and here!

These two pieces of artwork are amazingly vibrant! They show a great look at the perspectives Sam sees in his life, and I adore every bit of them! Congrats!

First place winners

Memories, by Iamme

The cutest artwork of a trip Sam and Dean took to a farm when they were kiddos! Dean’s just lucky that Sam didn’t turn his battle chicks on his big bro. This was a great lil entry to get!

It Don’t End In Blood by ThePoisonLily

This is certainly a very emotional story for Sam, as he’s captured by a hunter and taken to a place where he doesn’t recognize anyone, and the Harvelles have to figure out what to do with a child the size of a mouse! Kiddo Jo and kiddo Sam are adorable, and I’m personally hoping to see more of these two in the future 😉

Poll Winner

Last but not least, the poll winner! Before calculating the winner, all other winners were removed in order to simplify the graph. It was a hot race for everyone!

Brothers Apart by fujonosamy

Winners, I’ll be in contact for you to choose your prizes! And all participants will receive a look into the future of BA!

Grand Prize Winner

@torchmlp​ with I’m Not Letting You Go entered into the tumblr contest, and Sibling Rivalry entered into the deviantart contest!

Each of these entries was phenomenal, and I’m Not Letting You Go had me in tears, I’m pretty sure. I was a puddle during the story, and it nearly had me wanting to write something for it myself, I was so touched. Just an all-around great story, and Sam and Jacob getting into mischief is always a wonderful thing!

Role Reversal, by goldacharmed

Swapping around Sam and Dean’s size for a case definitely throws shenanigans in the way of them getting anything done, and this was a journey I had a lot of fun going on! Thanks for the entry!

Sam’s bed, by @birvan

The first time I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting a craft entry, Sam now has a bed of his own! (and Jacob has a crib, but he doesn’t want to talk about that) This was a great surprise to receive, and thanks so much for the entry! Smol Dean’s gonna be a little jealous, but he’s got his whiskey to drown his sorrows in.

Deviantart Winners

Brothers Apart impression, by fujonsamy

If an artwork ever captured the essence of BA, down to the fires that took Sam and Dean’s childhood and later family, this is it. I couldn’t stop staring at it the moment I got the notification! You did so good it broke my heart! 

BA Reunited, by jetx43682

Another artwork that captures a favorite moment of mine that I only got to show in a small prompt! Sam and Dean reunited for the first time after the events in Taken, with Sam finally taking that first big step towards his big brother while fighting through some PTSD of his own that other humans caused.

Poll Winners

Last but not least, those entrants the poll chose for winners! Before the poll was calculated, all winners were removed (along with one entrant whose entry was withdrawn from the prizes by choice), leaving us with our poll winners!

Highs and Lows, by @chewbaccaaah || Helloootricksterr

Poor Sam gets hotboxed when he’s out of the room, and Dean dealing with a tiny high brother? An adventure from start to finish. I loved this story. And make sure to check out the rest of Helloootricksterr’s stories on archive, there’s always g/t fun to be had there with the Winchesters!

Fever, by Weeglyfeesh

A stressed out Dean taking care of his feverish tiny brother is a recipe for some amazing hurt and comfort, and this story did it amazingly! Thanks for participating!

Survey responses (pt 3)

(The survey is still going, be sure to participate here


I’m not 100% sure what’s up there now but things I don’t think are on there that I’d like to see: – a post for when a story is posted on DA and AO3 that I can reblog as a fic rec. With summary and characters etc. I think it would also raise awareness for the series and get it out to a wider audience, which would be awesome because everyone should read it. – A kofi link? – A link to a commissions page – A page that lists all the related authors and betas and artists so I can follow all of them – also maybe a record of contest winners of old – schedule of events for the year including contest and when each new survey for the next published story will be – links to BA on every platform – a pretty theme

This is just the kind of response I’m looking for ❤ I’ll have to split it up to answer.

a post for when a story is posted on DA and AO3 that I can reblog as a fic rec. With summary and characters etc. I think it would also raise awareness for the series and get it out to a wider audience, which would be awesome because everyone should read it.

We used to do this, back in the beginning, but a lot of those posts tended to get ignored/no one was reblogging. Like I said in the last post, I think I’ll look back into it, now that I have a format that looks good on posts that I use on the main story masterpost page (link only works on desktops). 

I’ll see what I can come up with over the weekend when I’m not busy, and maybe a post or two for the older stories, like the original Brothers Apart. We love if people reblog our posts! Getting the word out is the main goal of this blog, but we rarely see reblogs, mostly likes.

A kofi link?

I’ll try and get some HTML over the weekend to put the ko-fi link up on the header. I’ve been putting it off. The ko-fi page is here, if anyone’s interested before I have the time to get it up, to support the art for the stories and/or broke creator of BA.

A link to a commissions page

I don’t have a completely organized page for the commissions, but we do have a tag for them on the tumblr. It’s hard because not all of them are posted on this site, especially if we got them for story parts that aren’t published yet. If you want to see the deviantart commissions, check out the folder I have on Deviantart, and browse the commissoned art tag on tumblr

Of course, reblogging the commissions we’ve gotten supports both us and the original artist! 

A page that lists all the related authors and betas and artists so I can follow all of them

I actually had this like, half under construction before life went nuts and things got busy. I’ll get to finishing it! *Puts back on to-do list*

also maybe a record of contest winners of old

I think I had one before, I’ll dig around the older posts to see, and make one if not.

schedule of events for the year including contest and when each new survey for the next published story will be

I haven’t done this yet because it’s hard to know for sure when the next story will post, but I guess I can just change the dates if something comes up?? Maybe. Will consider options for a calendar.

links to BA on every platform

Got this on the main tumblr page (a deep abiding hatred for tumblr mobile, which renders all of this work unreachable):

image

There are links to all platforms, and if any links ever break, send me a message or ask and I’ll fix them!

There is also a page like this on my deviantart, which is visible on phones. *Shakes fist at tumblr*

a pretty theme

I did recently update the main tumblr theme, but the mobile one isn’t as friendly for changes. Did anyone have any ideas? I wanted to stick close to the darker colors to keep the foreboding Supernatural atmoshpere we have going.

(The survey is still going, be sure to participate here)

Grand Prize Winner

@wolfie180gwith Brothers Transposed entered into the tumblr contest, and The Dragon at Knights Inn in the deviantart contest!

Just one of these stories might have won on their own, but together they make a perfect storyline of fun for Sam and Dean as they travel through both body-swapping shenanigans followed up by a visit to their friend Oscar’s motel, where a certain dragon from Dragon!Dean is still scared of heights makes his first (and hopefully not last!) visit to the Brothers Apart multiverse! All these stories are accentuated by the artwork done for them by wolfie as well, and so they take the gold! A must-read for any BA fan.

Winchesters’ Travels, by stargazer100!

Another story that brings the brothers on a journey, Winchesters’ Travels visits one of my favorite settings in g/t history with a modern upgrade! Dean gets to be Gulliver while Sam finally fits in, and these two will find their way through a politically demonic mess to help the kingdom of Lilliput before they’re sent to war with their neighbors. 

Switched, by Indigo Masquerade97!

This was a ride from start to finish! When Dean wakes up with Sam missing, and Sam wakes up in a completely unknown place, things get tense and Sam will be fighting to stay alive from the get-go! With a very diverse group of characters, I hope to learn more about them in the future :3

Deviantart Winners

New Heights by theskylarksings!

The first entry with a giant AU (with prior approval from @nightmares06), this story definitely won me over! Dean is a giant that Sam’s on the hunt for, and they have no idea who the other person is as they circle each other.

If We Don’t Talk About It, It Didn’t Happen by weeglyfeesh!

The final winner I get to choose picked a different route. We’ve got some brotherly fluff to close out my picks, and a moment Sam and Dean certainly won’t ever talk about again– but they’ll remember it to the end of their days! 

Poll Winners

Last but not least, those entrants the poll chose for winners! Before the poll was calculated, all winners were removed (along with one entrant whose entry was withdrawn from the prizes), leaving us with our poll winners!

Tumblr winner–

The AU Lounge by @paigethefiremage!

A great artwork done in honor of the creation of the relaxing AU Lounge for all the AUs to hang out together between stories, this artwork gets to take home the prize!

Deviantart winner–

Lich of Sense Triptych by @creatorofuniverses!

This art brings you on a trip through the first cowritten story in the BA multiverse, A Lich of Sense, all the way to when wolves stalked the Wellwood and Sam and Dean had only just met a certain rascally sprite!
