Happy new year!

[caranfindel]

It's hard to believe 2014 was my first full calendar year in the SPN fandom. You've all made it a ridiculously fun experience.

Thanks to all of you who have participated in my sometimes ridiculous polls, and read/commented on my fic and reviews. And thanks for sharing your own reviews and fic and art and meta and everything. Being able to talk, and laugh, and complain, and speculate, and fangirl with you guys... I can't adequately explain what it means to me.

I don't make resolutions, but I do have some things I hope to accomplish in 2015.

1. Continue to have a poll for each episode of S10.
2. Continue to write a drabble for each episode of S10.
3. Fill out a row on my SPNspiration bingo card.
4. Finish the sequel to my version of what happened after 9.23 before it, too, is completely Kripke'd.
5. Participate in another Big Bang.
6. Maybe participate in Summergen? I don't know. This one scares me.

Anyway. I've got work to do. Happy new year, y'all!

Thank you! Spring fling does look interesting but most of it is slash... are people even interested in gen?

From memory there were quite a few gen entries last year. When you sign up you list three pairings and you can state if you want gen and/or what rating (for example last year I chose Sam and Dean, gen. AU Jared/Jensen or gen, but not NC-17. Sam and Jess or Sam/Jess, but not NC-17). You also get to list things that you 'can do' and things that you 'cannot do'. So if you want gen only, you can ask to receive that and write for that, and you will be matched accordingly.

Last year I was lucky and got a match on three of my pairings, so I could chose which one to write. You will always get at least one pairings match when your assignment is issued.

Another great thing about this challenge is that the fics are initially posted anonymously, so any one could be writing anything! This creates a lot of excitement and guess work. The authors are them revealed at a later date.

I really enjoyed the challenge last year. I ended up writing a pairing I'd never written for before and also a new trope. I hope this helps.
