I can't express how much I love spn_summergen!!! Not only is it celebrating gen (which is my jam), but I always enjoy writing my entry, and then we get daily fics to help sooth the hiatus hell. And then, just to top it off, it would seem that every year the bar is raised, and the quality and variety of fanworks is just magical. I urge you to check out all the glorious 2018 entries - I promise you, they won't disappoint!

Every year my shortlist gets longer and crammed with goodies! In no order whatsoever, here's just 10 of my fic highlights from this years entries (I've tried to give you a taster of the wide variety available, or ones that I felt deserved more attention, or just made me squee) which will remain anonymous until reveals:

Scorched Earth
Those Who Can't Do...
Crossed Paths
Aces and Eights
These Are the Days of Miracle and Wonder (This is the Long Distance Call)
Saints Preserve Us
It's an Experience
Fledgling
Scenes from a Highway at the Edge of Night
Misplaced

I also used finchandsparrow's rec list here to help me narrow down my list, so pop over there too if you're hungry for more. I've already posted a squee rec for my gift fic, but I'll give it another shout out because it deserves it; Riptide.

It's a tough job narrowing down this list so please visit spn_summergen and praise the creators and mods with all the love and support they deserve. Huge congratulations to everyone involved in this challenge for yet another successful year!!! ♥

EDIT: for those of you who are hungry for more recs, marciaelena and amberdreams have also collated a few. Links are in the comments below.

It's that time of year again!!!! Sign ups for spn_j2_xmas open on September 1st for a week...who's going to join me?!!!!

Forgive me as I try (and probably fail) to contain my squee, but amberdreams and I have signed up to do a fic and art collab as part of this years spn_cinema! How exciting is that?! I've been wanting to work with her for ages, and now it's happening. For real.

I sort of twisted amberdreams's arm as she isn't familiar with the movie, but we've chosen A Quiet Place which is a wonderful movie that I'd recommend to anyone. It's a tense watch, but very well executed in every way. Here's the trailer to whet your appetite;



Anyway, I'd better get planning this fic, and bothering amberdreams with way too many emails ;)
