omg omg dean writes himself as kirk 🥺 this is AWESOME and I love how much it hints at his life. I'm picturing Dean hunched over a computer in a local library, telling John he's doing research, but actually writing and posting star trek fanfiction. Amazing.
Yeah he does!!! He wants to be Kirk so bad... I’m so glad you’re enjoying it :D And yeah, I am actually surprised that you’re the first person to comment on like the logistics of it all because they are SO FUNNY to contemplate, like. When did he write, when did he post, how did he find time, how did he hide it from his dad and brother etc. Your description is literally EXACTLY what I imagined agjhddvjhff. Thanks so much for this lovely comment <3
Also I woke up this morning and thought more abt this so if it's cool I'm gonna dump those thoughts here:
1) the concept of Dean being some virtuoso writer and having no idea (since he generally has a lot of positive comments?). someone mentions beta readers one day and he's like what the hell is that. Does that make me an alpha
2) building on 1. Idr what ff.net posting stuff looked like but whatever it is I'm picturing the equivalent of writing straight into the -post work- section of the site
3) so final thing is wondering how he got started and in my brain rn, Ik he started writing as a teen so I'm picturing him with some girl after HS on one somewhat normal day and she's telling him "yeah, I really love writing. I wanna be am author someday but for now posting online is alright. It just feels like I can talk to someone, get all my feelings out, without having to talk to anyone at all-"
Dean "repression" Winchester taking notes: "wow, posting online you said?"
Haha yeah finally asking for a beta as growth! And oh god we have actually talked a lot about the implications of SPN the show not existing in-universe and how that would affect the development (or lack thereof) of a/b/o aidjsknfksjfnfn
I think that is how it worked, I never posted on ffn but I’d assume the same. So, did he have to write the whole thing in one sitting every time? Oof.
Omggg yeah I will be getting at least a little bit into Dean’s earlier fandom days so I don’t want to give anything away but !!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, these were fun to read!
