Widdershins (3parts complete)
By angstslashhope - Supernatural. John, Dean and Sam. Gen (pre-series). Rated R for horror themes. 22,000+ words. Iowa. October 1984.)

Personally, Im not sure why exactly it has an R-rating. I must look at these things differently, because I would have said maybe Teen. *shrugs*

Anyway, this is just an awesome fic, with everything just connecting in a circular way that makes my mind boggle.

John comes across as such a loving father, dealing with harsh circumstances and trying to look after a 5 yr old Dean and baby Sam. The boys are so gentle with each other and it's interesting to see a story set with them at such a young age.

That said, this story is really about John, the love for his children and the life he leads. Truly delightful, lovely and descriptive in a non-boring way and the supernatural elements will keep you guessing until the very end (at which point you'll want to read it again).

Go read. Seriously!

From the fics I've been reading lately, I don't think I can write SPN. The authors in this fandom are just way too good.

I can just sit back and read.

Oh, dude, I already found so many errors in the story I sent you last night. *facepalm* I just really wanted to get rid of it. It was supposed to be short. Short I tell you. :(

*cuddles you tightly*

Of course you can bloody well write in this fandom! You're a good writer.

Look, I enjoyed what you'd previously sent me immensely, of that story.

*commands you to stop doubting your fic abilities*

*huggles you tightly*

Thank you for the rec!

I always feel a little uncertain when it comes to rating gen stories, different people seem to take different things into account. for some folks, ratings only relate to the amount of sex in the story. or gore. I don't know, i'm used to the Australian over-zealous ratings system and rate for horror more than anything in my gen stories.

You're welcome.
I'm the same when I rate my own stories. I usually pick a higher rating than it truly deserves if I'm worried. I was just pointing out my own opinion, not judging. :)

For some reason, I relate R with seriously over the top horror/blood/gore/ick or really kinky sex. Certainly on Ausralian TV, I notice there is a lot of violence (to the point I don't want to watch it) that only rates an M, but maybe I'm too sensitive.

I'm wandering through your journal, avoiding the wincest though, so if I suddenly leave a flurry of comments, don't feel obliged to answer them all. *grins*
SPN is my new obsession. :)
