SN Author - Bambers2

Before I had even joined the fandom, myself, my best friend told me that I had to read the work of an author by the name of Bambers2. When I finally made my way to the profile of this talented author, I found a smorgasbord of brilliantly written tales.

Easily one of the most talented writers of any fandom, Bambers' writing brilliantly covers the entire spectrum of genres: gen, angst, humor, suspense - even the occasional bit of romance. I highly recommend her tale So Not Following the Yellow Brick Road and her AU series (after the conclusion of season 3) Angels and Demons.

Few people possess the talent of Bambers2 - and I'm not necessarily speaking only of fanfic writers. Her stories are truly a must-read for Supernatural fans everywhere.

SN Fic - Sneeze

It started with a sneeze. Then another. And another. And... well, let's just say that this delightful drabble collection has been affectionately dubbed Snot Without Plot (SWP) by the author, Mad Server.

Now, with more than 30 hilarious little... well,
sneezes, mostly on the part of Dean, but some good contributions from Sam, these drabbles never fail to bring a smile to my face. (Along with the more-than-occasional 'Ew.... Gross!') So, give 'em a read - and be sure to bring some tissues!

Fanvidder: Samus McAslan

While on the dGeek forum (on David Hewlett's website for his movie A Dog's Breakfast), I made the acquaintance of one Samus McAslan. She writes a bit of fanfiction, but her main specialty is fanvideos - which she does for multiple fandoms, including Stargate Atlantis, Harry Potter, and I do believe I saw a couple Star Trek ones amidst several others.

With a unique talent for matching the scenes to the lyrics, Samus is certainly one of the most talented vidmakers on the web. Below are a few of my favorites and a link to her livejournal where the rest of her vids can be found.

Cats Fic - A Passion of Loneliness

Two or three years back, likely during the last time I was writing Cats fanfiction, I came across an supportive fellow author by the name of Aevany Storm. As I do with many who review my own fanfiction, I read many of hers, among which I found a story I especially loved.

Exotica, the young cat ever on the fringes of Jellicle life, has long grown accustomed to being alone. In fact, it has become a passion, this loneliness, something to which she tenaciously clings. When Macavity defects, after swearing revenge against the tribe, Exotica follows him, for reasons all her own - this is her story...

While the author of this tale has since changed her name to Maudey,
A Passion of Loneliness remains, in my mind, a lovely, bittersweet tale well-worthy of its place as this week's Fandom Pick.
