lessee how memes go in this fandom, then. Though like, don't let that stop you... um, feel free to ask about any story i've written, regardless of fandom:

Ask me anything you want about any of my stories: how I thought of the idea, what I did to write it, what I was thinking when I wrote it, what I feel about it now, what I wish I'd done differently, etc. Or ask any of the characters from particular stories something you want to know, and get an answer from them. Or both.


and lets not talk about the fact that my first 'ctrl+v' attempt up there ended up with a url to an article on 'extreme yak sports'.

Hm. I suppose what inspired you to write the werewolf!Winchester two-parter. Uh. On The Banks of the Tiber and Feild of Mars. Yes. Inspiration for them?

[hope]

Short answer: I made a gleeful post about clichéd fanfiction crack tropes and how much I loved them; someone responded noting I’d left out the werewolf scenario. Mainly due to the fact that no one had written any! So I wrote some. It ended up a lot more serious than I’d originally intended (thus the spin off, Three Ways The Winchesters Were Never Werewolves, hee).

Longer answer: It ended up more serious than I originally intended because it tapped into a narrative that I find myself returning to again and again – that return to the primal, the stripping away of humanity (and society) and seeing what’s left beneath it. Coupled with an impervious environment, a raw kind of nature that demands the primal nature of the characters match it… yeah.

Field of Mars was because I couldn’t leave John out of the world of it… and because the first one was just a giant metaphor, I wanted to carry it out; but it turned into a different kind of metaphor. I think with that narrative I’m drawn to, often I have to follow it up with a continuing negation of traditional closure… because the whole thing is about how the ‘traditions’, per se, no longer apply. Or something.

Anyway :)
