Hi. My name is Sarah. I am married (to my soul mate \O/ ) and have a daughter. We have 2 cats, 4 chooks and a number of fish. Oh and also 2 mice. I'm a teacher. I have a Bachelor of Education in Drama and Media Arts. I don't write (unfortunately) but I do make videos. I post them at my Live Journal site and also at YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/user/ash4897 I am somewhat obsessed with Supernatural. (And if you're reading this then you probably are to!?). I consider myself a Limp!Sam fan but I can't resist my hurt!Dean fics either. At the end of the day it's their bro love that gets me every time. :D I'm also a h/c junkie!! Things that bug me when reading fanfic: (keeping in mind I don't write, so take it with a grain of salt!) Writers who use "your" when they mean "you're". Bad spelling in the summary. Or "I suck at summaries" - meaning if you suck at summaries what hope do you have at writing a whole story! :) Sister fics. (just personal preference - they don't have a sister) When Sam calls Dean "Deanie" - my biggest switch off. No way would either John or Dean tolerate Sam using "baby" talk. Also - too whiny. First person Sam or Dean. Not sure why. Getting the "voice" right is extremely difficult. (though if it's really well written, I'm there - Like Skag Trendy's" Hunter of the Shadow" - excellent first person story). OFC's - (unless it's gaelic's Brenna) Thing I like: Good, believable, intelligent writing. (hee! I don't ask for much). Hurt boys - but not torture for torture's sake. Needs a plot. Writers who update (fairly) regularly. Tough I know. But I loose interest if it's months between updates. Writers who respond to comments. I know that's unfair, because RL can make that tough. But the joy of ff is connecting with people. I'm more likely to leave a comment if I know the writer is interested in receiving them. And my favourite authors. hugs I wish I could write. I manage the C2 called "SNFA Winners". They are stories that have won fanfiction awards. I have also posted a forum recommending some of my favourite writers. The results for SNFA awards can be found here:Supernatural Fanfiction Awards | |||||||||||||
