In which ratherastory is difficult and nit-picky

Everyone has their pet peeves, right? I have many.

The latest one to surface, and it's a recurring problem, but it's been twice in a couple of days now, and I'm officially peeved.

Vampires.

Vampires in pre-series stories.

Remember "Dead Man's Blood?" The boys and John are convinced vampires don't exist/are extinct right up until first season.

Even well-written stories get on my nerves, unless they're explicitly stated to be AU.

It's marring my enjoyment of those fics, which is really too bad. I need to learn to overlook it when they're well-written, I guess. But still. Gnarr.

Chicken Soup for the Hunter's Soul

Title: Chicken Soup for the Hunter's Soul
Summary: A quest for an artifact goes a little off-track with the addition of a new member to the team.
Prompt: Written for team_free_love's Secret Lovers challenge. My recipient was mizra, who wanted something to do with a cold and chicken soup, banter between the four characters, and “big brothers and their boyfriends.” I managed two out of three, which I hope is enough. :)
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Dean, Sam, Castiel, Gabriel
Spoilers: Spoilers through 6.03, just to be on the safe side
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 7,024
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I owe eternal and undying thanks to my two betas, claudiapriscus and yasminke, who are rockstars. They not only beta'd this on ridiculously short notice, but they performed elaborate reconstructive surgery on it and made into a story that was one hundred percent better than the one I originally had. You guys rock my world! *blows kisses*
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I have to confess that I am not super proud of this story. It took forever to get going, didn't flow right, and despite the heroic efforts of my betas, it's really not the best thing I've ever written. I am annoyed with myself, because I would have liked to write something better for my recipient. As it is, this story is one of the reasons I'm backing away from fic exchanges for a while.

[SPN Podfic] Will You Serve? by rainylemons

This is part of my ongoing quest to make the universe aware of the existence of rainylemons, who is probably one of the more brilliant and yet underappreciated gen writers of the Supernatural fandom.

Therefore, I have podficced one of her 'verses. There are three reasonably short stories, and I have included them separately and as a podbook.
