I have the biggest hankering to write an epic Supernatural AU with a chronological scope that runs from World War I to some time in the Roaring Twenties (unless I'm feeling kind enough to let them live into the Great Depression).

So.

Hunters or bootleggers?

Also, I'm cringing at the amount of research I'm going to have to do for this, because I know next to nothing about WWI (except that there were trench warfare and flyboys). Any ideas where to start? Any film or book suggestions? Documentaries are love as well.

Knit Club - "The first rule of Knit Club: Don't talk about Knit Club." A fluffy story of an odd assortment of high school boys and their ragtag knitting circle and all the scarves, socks, and sweaters they make along the way. Friendship, romance, and yarn.

THIS idea has been plaguing me since last night. In the small town, five minutes from where I live (which is a ~~notso spooky-unless-you're-Tuesday~~ farmhouse), there's a publishing house, which specializes in knitting, crochet, and nostalgic "good ol' days" magazines. They have a job opening, which I'm eying, but I know next to nothing about knitting. I tried it once and failed miserably, so just never tried again.

Anyhow, for some reason, I was thinking of knitting and this job while at my other job, and somehow this story slowly took form in my mind, and has been hounding me since. (I don't do fluffy high school romances!)

Apparently, I've been sucked into the Snail Mail Free-for-all going on with

everysecondtuesday. I should reciprocate with art and badly written fiction. Maybe I'll extend my end of the offer to people on my dreamroll....

Second, I'm reading this original slash fic that's gloriously indulgent when it comes to building the relationship and maddeningly mindful of the pace it sets. How many long chapters in and only now [SPOILER]? Also, the writer's female characters are interesting and less flat than a lot of the female characters I've read in origi-slash fic. And it's indulgently hurt-comfort. Bingo.

I've been reading this story for a week and I've only now hit the fourth part.

Kei's Gift by Ann Somerville. - When the worlds of a young, idealistic healer and an embittered, duty-bound general collide, their lives are changed forever. (from author's site) Read with care; there might be a few things that ping readers in a few areas. Otherwise, it's a compelling read.

( Different results for different stories! )

Apparently, I write like men?
