hello to all 5 of my LTLI readers this one is for you :)

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

i have a kendall/roman/mencken idea but I'm stupid as fuck, so.

17. What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?

nothing you learned in your research is useless. Even if it doesn't end up in writing --- maybe the reference didn't quite work, or the tone changed and you don't need that story about them slipping on ice anymore --- it still informs the character. Even if you're the only one who knows about it. I'd like to think of it as thrifting with your characters. Maybe they changed their mind about the coat. It will still be in their closet. They will think about it when it's cold.

there are no weird questions

23. How do you choose where to end a chapter (if you have multi-chapter works)?

sometimes I end up writing the ending first so it's quite easy if that's the case. i only have one multi-chapter fic to show for and with ltli i'd like to think each chapter invokes a different tone or feeling so this kind of directed the narrative too. I don't know if this makes sense!

Summary: Tess Sands has spent the majority of her adult life in search of the Men of Letters Bunker; a fortress filled to the brim with all the supernatural knowledge one could think of, as her father had often described it to her. After years of searching (and killing monsters along the way), Tess has finally found the bunker, and she has every intention of making it her new home. That is, until she finds out that it’s already occupied. 

Characters: Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Tess Sands (OFC), SPN side characters, OCs

Tags: fluff, angst, smut, crack, romance, action, adventure, this thing is going to be full to the brim with whatever I can pack into it, the tags will vary chapter-to-chapter

Status: INCOMPLETE

I haven't had the chance to make "physical" media for my fic in a long long time (or updated my fic either but we wont talk about that) and I had the visual of June being really big on christmas cards and decided i had to illustrate that IMMEDIATELY.

Hi 😳

Anyways. For 3: im gonna say this bit in the new chapter im writing because its not super plot relevant so i feel like i can share it lol and i like it like damn im killing myself about this fr (cw for kind of gross stuff idk lol)

For 11: i really like exploring grief irt aced with this fic because it has genuinely helped me so much with processing my own bullshit like i project onto aced SO MUCH its kind of crazy lol and also i like the domestic horror aspect of my fic, i wanna lean more into domestic horrors for this fic in future chapters i fink

3 dabloons (LTLI art)

The first two … i redesigned ira and their mommy (Junebug) a bit . I like the idea of them identifying more as Creole and both of them being multiracial, so i edited their designs to reflect that better…. I think the racial ambiguity of junebug reads better but her hair throws me off a bit (it used to be curly but she bleached and straightened it to shit lol)
