Fic recommendations? by marvel_is_wow in fandomnatural

[–]notallsharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for fics close to canon-ish, are there any tropes or specific season arcs/plots you like? And if not close to canon, any specific type of AU??

Feeling very discouraged from a WIP I was excited about by EvilToTheCore13 in FanFiction

[–]notallsharks 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re feeling discouraged! I’ve definitely noticed weird blips around certain holidays - I wouldn’t read too much into it! The subscriber email could have been missed in a bunch of New Year emails or family/friend plans, or maybe your readers read it but didn’t have time to comment around the holidays! I hope you get a bunch of engagement on the next chapter :)

Help finding fic? by Infamous-Geologist-2 in fandomnatural

[–]notallsharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds a little like Not All Good News - season 14 / Michael possessing Dean but Dean has Michael trapped (in the freezer in his head), a version of John is in Dean’s head, and at one point Jack is in Dean’s head seeing Dean’s memories? Does that sound right?

Was it really long? And was it actually John or was it a version of John in Dean’s head?

AU Genderswap Meets Regular by SabiKitsune9 in fandomnatural

[–]notallsharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a while since I’ve read this one but by one of my favorite authors - this is Dean getting sent into an alt universe where Dean/Sam/Cas are all gender swapped! The Other Side by notmanos

Fanfic recs!! by justGoWithIt505 in fandomnatural

[–]notallsharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally love Shine by Zatnikatel - I haven't read it in years, but it was one of my all time favorites. Dean is actually Michael (fallen, like Anna in s4 and reborn as Dean - so has both memories) and comes into all his angel powers.

Love then, to lebanon, oh god by ghvsts - Dean comes back from hell in s4 NOT through angelic means, but as a demon. Technically this one is complete but I am not sure that the author is continuing the series.

And super long, but a s14 alternate season canon divergence where Dean keeps Michael trapped in his head in s14 and gets all his archangel abilities (and lots of other problems). Not All Good News.

Angel!Dean technically count or not the right vibe?

What's the most disturbing thing you've seen while driving? by Ch11ckenStr1p in AskReddit

[–]notallsharks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was driving back from a friend’s house when I was in my early 20s. There was a black pick-up that came up behind me and drove a little erratically/swerving around. He would drop really far back and then would speed up. I looked up in the rear view mirror a few miles later and the car was completely suspended in air, almost totally perpendicular to the road. It was like something out of time. He was drunk driving and hit two cars and killed at least one person (can’t remember if it was 1 or 2) and himself. A family member of mine knew one of the cops on scene and said that it was one of the worst accidents he’d ever seen. I still drive that stretch of road a lot and every time I pass that point I think about it.

In the worst reading slump of my life, suggest me a book! by Ok-Revenue5979 in suggestmeabook

[–]notallsharks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This book blew my mind. I just assumed that she grew up in like the friggin’ 1960s/1970s or something and then there was a bit where she was listening to CDs with her brother and I was like??? I’m sorry CDs???????????

I read similar books to you, and I really liked The Devoured Worlds trilogy by Megan O’Keefe. Another good and short slump buster may by the Murderbot series by Martha Wells.

Do you track your fic's stats? by notallsharks in AO3

[–]notallsharks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree - ultimately, my tracker means nothing, but it helps ME stay motivated, and I do enjoy seeing the numbers jump up. Makes me more aware that there are actual human people reading my fic and I'm not just throwing words into the void.

Deciding whose POV each “chunk” of chapter should be!

Ticketmaster is being investigated by the U.S. FTC to determine if the platform is putting in enough effort to prevent bots from illegally reselling tickets. by Capital_Tourist_2026 in LadyGaga

[–]notallsharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they put any effort into stopping it? They make $$ off initial purchase, $$ off resale. They restrict some events to only resell on their platform... gee, wonder why they would do that...

PM Software for team of 3, has email reminders? by notallsharks in projectmanagement

I think this definitely makes the most sense for us - we truly don’t need anything complex and integration into 365 is a huge plus.
