I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

Hi, I am not okay, but as someone on Twitter said, I'm doing things I ordinarily enjoy because I don't know what else to do. (Other than volunteer for GOTV activities, which has been surprisingly heartening, though then again I am in a bright blue area.) I hope you all are as well as possible!

“By fans, for fans”: Gearing up for the DMCA hearings; have my fingers crossed that a new Register will still hear our voices.
Fic recs: First, Jayne L.'s Epilogue, which I was privileged to beta.  NC-17, Dean/2014Cas/Castiel, and permutations thereupon.  Warnings: 'The End'-verse, and all that entails.  Lucifer sends Cas back.

Second, malkingrey's Elsinore, SPN/ Hamlet fusion. It’s like it was written just for me! Demons! Winchester family drama! Sam with powers! Hamlet and Horatio as scholar-buddies! Murder most foul, as in the best it is! Also, best Sam and Dean aliases ever, which I’m now so tempted to appropriate for a story set in our time!
