Bardic's Descant

Supernatural Fanfic Master Post

I don’t write nearly as many stories as other fanfic authors, but I have enough that I thought putting up a master post to provide easy access might help people find them, both the old and the new. So, in mostly reverse chronological order as written, here’s a master list of links to all my Supernatural fanfiction. I've begun to record my stories into MP3 podfic format; as I complete recordings, I'll be adding the podfic links here, under the description of each story.

Just so you know, I am strictly a canon writer (except for the stories set in the past on which I’ve been Kripke’d). There is no slash here. There are relationships that may include non-explicit sex, but all of them were established in show canon. Only one of them went farther in my story than in the show itself; pardon me for giving Bobby and Jody the chance to consummate a relationship before Bobby died. :)

Wow, it's been a long time since I've written any fiction. The idea for this one just came to me on a walk. With limited writing time and just one simple, crystal idea, I thought it would make an effective drabble, a 100-word story. You judge. I'll warn you, it's depressing.

Title: Paradise
Author: Bardicvoice
Characters: Bobby and Castiel, discussing Sam and Dean
Rating: G
Warnings: Umm, Winchester brothers being Winchester brothers, no matter what.
Word count: 100
Summary: "Each soul makes its own Heaven."

I must confess, I'm disappointed that none of my podfic recordings have generated even a single comment. I guess no one's listening. And I don't know how to change that, which is sad.

But I'm continuing anyway, because I need the practice in recording and editing audiobook work. The latest addition to my little collection is my story Civilians, set vaguely in season three, in which Sam and Dean save the lives of a married couple who have to deal with learning about the supernatural. The story runs about 3,400 words.

You can read the story at the link above, or listen to it or download it here. Please note that, if you're using Firefox, you may not be able to see the embedded player or download the MP3 of the story file: for some perverse reason, while the embedded player and coding for the download link work just fine in Chrome and IE, they don't seem to work in Firefox. Apologies, but I don't know how to cure that. The story runs about 24 minutes, and the file is about 21 MB.


 Please, if you do listen - give me some feedback, okay? Thanks.

To get some audiobook voiceover practice and sharpen my recording and editing skills, I've started recording my fan fiction in MP3 format. If I'm doing this right, this post should provide both embedded player and download links for two of my Supernatural stories, the mid-season-three introspective piece Breathing Lessons and the post-season-three 41 Days of Metallicar drabble collection.

Title: June 17, 1976: Stars and Stripes Forever (Chapter 10/4? of The Impala Chronicles (Forty-some Years in a Life))
Characters/Pairings: John/Mary
Words: ~1300
Rating: G
Spoilers: None beyond aired episodes 

Finally, at long last, here is the latest chapter in my chronicle of the Impala’s history, the collection of shorts I began last summer to place the Impala and the Winchester family into the canvas of real-world American history by doing one story for each year of the Impala’s existence. My first six stories – the ones spanning 1967 through 1972 – were turned into an alternate history by Eric Kripke’s script for Swan Song, with its story of her first owner Sal Moriarty and his Bibles, but I’m going to continue writing my version of the Winchester years.
 
It’s just going to take a lot longer than I thought it would back when I started. :)

I knew I'd miss days during this year's 42 Days of Metallicar countdown. This is day 8 for me, but it will go in day 10 of the ongoing countdown, since I'm running late. Sorry about that! I do still promise to write all 42 stories, one for each year, but they'll take longer this time around.
