Dear summergen writer...

SPN Bobby Awesome
Hi, and thanks for being part of Summergen!

And you got my prompts! I know, I'm the mod, but please don't let that bug you in any way. It kinda messes with the anonymity part of Summergen but that's all.

I know I'll love any story you write for my prompts. What matters most is that you have a blast writing it. So don't feel you need to stick too closely to my ideas if you find the muse is leading you elsewhere.

In terms of genre I'm very easy to please. I don't do well with comedy because I haven't got much of a sense of humour so I often don't get the joke, but gentle humour or out-and-out crack is okay. Beyond that, I have genre dislikes in slash but none of them apply to Summergen ;)

If you glance over my fic (it's all on AO3) to see what I like you'll find that as a writer I lean toward plotty, angsty stories with a side of dark. I have a 'thing' for character deaths (except John Winchester. Him I tend to resurrect a lot!). But as I reader I enjoy many genres I would never write myself.

I love Sam and Dean (Sam slightly more than his brother), but I do not insist on them being major characters in your story. They don't have to appear at all. I am completely in love with John and would love a fic that includes him, but I won't be disappointed if he doesn't appear. I am not a huge fan of Castiel, but as long as he's written in character I can enjoy him in fic. Really, I'm easy to please.

The only thing I really, seriously dislike is writing in the present tense. Unless there's a good reason to do it, present tense just reads to me like, well, lazy at best and illiterate at worst. It just puts me on edge. I have seen some beautifully written fics in the present tense, but it does make it harder for me to enjoy a story.

Oh, and I absolutely loathe RPF, but I think you'd be hard pushed to twist any of my prompts into that, so we should be safe there.

So take what you want of my prompts and just let yourself run with it. Have fun and I know I'll love the result.

love

Morgan

Fic: Hunter's Haven (Masterpost)

SPN John Grey

Title: Hunter's Haven
Author: Morgan Briarwood
Fandom: Haven/Supernatural
Wordcount: 24,500
Rating: Mature
Characters: Audrey Parker, Reverend Driscoll, Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos, John Winchester, Gabriel
Spoilers: Spoilers for Haven up to 2.10: Who, What, Where, Wendigo and for Supernatural up to 5.22: Swan Song
Notes: Thanks to [info]deadflowers5 for hosting [info]john_w_bigbang and to [info]bdrixhaettc for the amazing artwork. I swore off big bangs this year, but how could I resist one dedicated to John Winchester? I first started this story after the shape-shifter episode of Haven - it was so close to the Supernatural version of shape-shifters I couldn't resist. Then I got to thinking how someone like John would fit into Haven. This story is the result of those musings. I hope you enjoy it.

Summary: Haven, Maine is a town full of mysteries, but even among the weirdness, John Winchester is a puzzle. At first, Audrey Parker is only intrigued. When a series of strange deaths appears to involve him, she decides she needs to solve the puzzle soon. But John, too, is trying to solve one of Haven's mysteries, and this one involves Audrey herself.

SPN John Waiting
I have a story for [info]john_w_bigbang which is due for posting next week. First, I had the honour of creating the artwork to accompany [info]purple_carpets's story, Let's Not Call It A Game. Her John is a bit of a bastard, but never so much you can't understand where he's coming from, even if he is screwing up. It's a great pre-series fic.

Fic: Kingdom Come (Master Post)

SPN Mary

Title: Kingdom Come
Author: Morgan Briarwood
Fandom: Supernatural
Wordcount: 32,000 approx
Rating: Mature
Characters: Mary Winchester, John Winchester, Dean Winchester, Bobby Singer
Warning(s): (highlight to reveal) Some bloody violence (but not sexual violence)
Notes: Written for [community profile] ladiesbigbang, with thanks to the mods for organising and to [personal profile] bliumchik for beta help. This story is a prequel to Deliver Us From Evil, but the two stories stand alone and could be read in any order.

Summary: AU in which Mary lived and the Winchesters stayed in Lawrence, Kansas and never became hunters. On his 23rd birthday, Sam Winchester disappeared without a trace. His disappearance brings to light a secret Mary has kept for thirty years. If she has any hope of finding her son alive, she will have to reclaim the skills as a hunter that she left behind when she married. Even worse, she must lead Dean into that life.
