I really really love 2003. I love time travel fics and yours is one of my favorites. I don’t normally follow authors after just reading one of their fics, but it was so good I immediately followed.
What’s the lore behind that one? Where did the idea come from? Why did you write it? How long did you think about it? What made you decide to write it?
omg that's so nice thank you!! I'm proud of that one for sure ❤️
I love time travel fics too, especially when they are bittersweet and don't actually fix anything, so I definitely got inspiration from ones like, Crossing Lines by sometimeswelose and Psalm 40:2 by unicornpoe, and I probably had watched Lebanon for the first time and thought about how disorienting it would be for Dean to be the one pulled through time– to have to meet his dad and recognize how much he'd changed but then being forced back into old patterns. It'd definitely been percolating in my head for a long time before I finally sat down and wrote it. It was the first fic I'd written since I was a teenager! I really just wanted to engage in fandom again because I'd remembered it being so fun.
The first version of it was only published for a few weeks before I took it down to re-do it, and I'm happy I did because I like the 2nd version more :)
yeah thank you this is so fun!!
