Of fics

Did it ever happen to you that you read someone else's fic search and thought "What an awesome idea, I need to read that!"? And when the fic was found, you went and read it and after a paragraph or two, you had this look on your face - O.o? Where and we're, your and you're are two completely different things! Full-stops were invented for a reason! *shudders* I mean, the plot might be totally awesome but the way it's written is important too!

And Supernatural fic recs of course!
GEN:
"Like Father, Like Son" by [livejournal.com profile] ella_menno. John, Sam and Dean switch bodies :D Words: 5.000+

"Bloodlines" by MuffyMorrigan. When Dean gets a call from an old friend he and Sam head to Arizona to investigate a possible haunting. Along the way Sam begins to suspect his brother might not have told him everything he needs to know. Not the best story but I love the OFC! Words: 10.000+

"Run run run" by [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter. Jim Murphy and Bobby deal with an ethical problem. Dark, refers to underage non-con! Words: 1.000+

WINCEST:
"Our life will never end" by [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter. Sam is evil. But he still loves Dean. Very dark even though it doesn't seem so at the beginning. Words: -1.000

I read 'Run Run Run' earlier today and thought it was simply awesome. 'Our Life Will Never End' is kinda shocking. I totally didn't expect that!

but the way it's written is important too!

Totally agree with you. I've come across quite a number of fics where the premise is great but the writing is off. Such a pity. And I think that's where a good beta comes in!

And it's really not that hard to find a beta. I mean, it's not like you have to pay for it ;P

Yes! The "Our Life..." fic started so happy and then it took a 180° turn that left me quite like this: O.o
