So hello!

I’m pretty new to the #SPN fandom (finally binged the whole series during COVID). I watched nearly all of it without dipping a toe into fandom. I only started toward the end because I was just fascinated by the relationship between Sam and Dean, and I was curious if it extended to Jared and Jensen — which it obviously did, which sent me down a rabbit hole of convention vids and lore and then SamDean dissertations and HCs and endless fanfic (some of which is flat brilliant) and anyway…

I finally want to dip my toe into writing for this fandom but I’m kind of at a loss where to start. I love all the epic sagas and sprawling AUs but I want to start small. I also see holes in every season and plot line, see endless potential in the boys’ dysfunctional relationship, and it’s almost too much to process. So I figured if anyone is reading this (and no one may be, given it’s my first post and all) maybe they’ve got a plot bunny or scene I could give a whirl. Or maybe suggestions for accounts with story prompts?

Above all I love the SamDean soulmateism, whether it’s platonic (or not). I also love their very twisted and complicated childhood even outside the supernatural. I have zero issue (and have come to really enjoy) Wincest but might want to build up to that since it’s out of my wheelhouse. (Though if the muse hits…) I am a writer, but I haven’t written a lot of fanfic and never for this fandom. I like most of the supporting characters so no issues with including them in some capacity.

I love them both. As the oldest sibling I identify more with Dean, but I find myself more emotionally connected with Sam just because he breaks my heart on the regular. Well, they both do, but the tragedy of Sam calls to me.

Anyway, I have itchy fingers and no clear direction so figured I’d scream into the void. I’m older than my 20s so not on TikTok, Twitter is a hellscape, I don’t understand Discord (but willing to give it a shot) and zero interest in fandom drama. I like what I like and no one’s changing my mind. 😉
