for all of you :)

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then repost this and spread the love.

I'm going to bed, so I won't get to these until tomorrow. But please, comment! Let me tell you how much I like y'all :)

a query and a poll

(Which I just typoed as 'pool', initially. Oi.)

So, Big Bang. I need to start getting started, and I thought I'd cemented in my mind what I was writing... and then annella comes along with her really cool idea, and now I'm torn. So, flist, help me figure it out. The ideas are as follows:

A. Pre-series-ish. Scenario is this: Mary didn't die. Sam and Dean are raised in a loving, stable home with two parents. When Sam is a senior in high school, the apocalypse comes. Happens. Whichever verb is applicable. Anyway, the sky rips open, fire rains down, zombies rise, all sorts of nifty things. Think... Red Dawn, but with zombies and the Croatoan virus. Kind of. Sam/Dean (does that need to be said?), definitely eventually; possibly from the start. So, in summary, a pre-series, non-series (a/u) apocalypse.


B. (This is annella's idea, taken with her blessing.) Post apocalypse. Both boys survive but Sam is seriously screwed up - the anger thing we saw in 5x11 plus, y'know, EVERYTHING ELSE. Dean finally acknowledges that he has to HELP his brother and that pushing it all down is the opposite of helpful. Sam ends up in a psychiatric ward where he actually gets HELPED. Because a lot of the actual apocalypse was extremely visible, he doesn't have much trouble getting doctors to believe him and they help him work through everything.

Dean doesn't tell Sam on his weekly visits, but he's started seeing a therapist too.

Both boys manage to work out their issues and live happily ever after in a small 2-bedroom apartment. Sam works at a library and Dean fixes cars. etc etc curtain fic. Also Sam/Dean, eventually. (And highly likely to get Joss'd/Kripke'd to hell and back -- no pun intended -- but whatever. To some extent everything we write is a/u, right? *g*)

So, ElJay. Help me decide what to write, because I am SERIOUSLY torn, here. I really kind of want to do both (and maybe will, who knows), but that's not feasible for right now.
