This feeling - I do remember it - it`s... *snaps fingers* SQUEEEEEEE

109? One hundred and freaking nine stories? I have fallen so hopelessly behind on my spn_j2_bigbang reading, I counted the fics to see how much are still waiting for me. Biiiiig mistake. So far I read maybe a fifth. :/ I guess baby steps it is then. If any of you lovely writers gets a glowing comment to your bigbang around the time of Christmas, it will be me who only now got around to reading it. *g*

Interestingly enough, the majority is J2, with Wincest and Gen pretty evenly split in second place. Is it just me or has there been less Wincest overall in fic? I seem to remember that in the early days of fandom, there seemed to be so, so much of it.

Of course I feel in the latter half of Season 2 the show itself wobbled somewhat and in Season 3 went off the rails - and the level of criticism has been quite high there - while J2 got cuddlier and more squee-worthy so the inspiration shifted from show-related writing to RPS. At least that was my impression. And my personal experience.

Now the wheel might turn again in Season 4 because there appears to be some general excitement for the new Season, the likes of which there hasn`t been since the Season 1 Finale. God, I missed that feeling myself. Yeehaw. Will see if it lives up to the hype and if/how it might manifest in fic.

I`ve got to finish two other projects first but there is a certain itch in my fingers to write Sam and Dean - Wincest and/or Gen - in ways I haven`t felt in a long, long, long time. *cuddles rediscovered love*

See, I was cleaning up my to-be-saved folders yesterday and categorized the stories into J², gen or slash and there were so much more J² than I'd expected.

I was (still am) somewhat surprised at the lack of get-Dean-out-of-hell-stories this summer. Last year there was a lot of fiction and some really good ideas about how to break the deal. I was expecting similar stuff this time but I don't think I read even one story about that. The 'After'-stories I read only referred vaguely and some skipped it all together.

Of course, I don't read all that comes out - not even all the big-bang-fics.

LOL, I actually wrote a get Dean out of Hell fic, but it was scary dark.

And I'm in the same boat, hardly read any of the big bangs unless I had a direct connection to the author or the story. And I don't read a lot of wincest, not that I have anything against it. It's just easier to read RPS because there's no real canon to muck things up.

How my bigbang ended up being wincest is anyone's guess. I blame it on the music. *nods*
