109? One hundred and freaking nine stories? I have fallen so hopelessly behind on my [livejournal.com profile] 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*
