News of the Morning: A Nom for Me and a Rec for You
Now that I've slept (fourteen hour workdays are good for no one and it's a good thing my boss is in another part of the state today because otherwise homicide was a very strong possibility for the morning), I have a couple of fun things to post.
First, Booster and I have been nominated over at the Something Wicked Awards for the latest part of our crossover cliffhanger saga, Old Friends, New Adventures (he's got additional awesome and was also nominated for one of his gen stories). If you're not familiar with our A Girl and Her Time Lord series, it features Dawn, the Tenth Doctor, a seven-foot tall lisping lizard, a vole, as well as many others, and it gets wonderful comments that repeatedly question our sanity. Possibly because it's co-authored, it's one of very few stories of mine that I'll reread simply to cheer myself up. The first part is Things to Do When the Universe Ends.
Second, a fic rec! If you like Supernatural gen-fic at all, I strongly suggest you give Denyce's The Fate and Damnation of One Man's Legacy a shot. Denyce does an exceptional job of using John's POV in the days following the 1983 fire to rehabilitate the character after all of the bashing he's received in canon for the last couple seasons, as well as really bringing John and Mary's marriage to life while making John's grief following her death palpable and believable. It was a beautiful story before I started beta-ing it and she took my notes and made it even better. It's heartbreaking but with funny bits, which is one of my more favorite kind of stories.

I'm just so grateful you responded to my post, and appreciate everything you did- especially all the minute stuff and your graciousness when T came aboard. Your levelness through my stress and hand-holding, so much ♥ for you bb, thank you :) I am very proud on how it turned, and you're a big part of that ;)

The anon-meme seems pretty positive on the story so far, aside from some confusion about the title - which you never did explain to me. What is it all about?

For the title - It just seemed to fit when I was playing around with title ideas, but after having to write/see it a zillion times *shrugs* if I had no art with the title prominently displayed I probably would've changed it at the last minute to One Man's Fate or One Man’s Legacy –live and learn.
