An extremely late entry for @stunudo @stusbunker JAM BASKET CHALLENGE that was due like 6 months ago. I am a terrible friend. Anyways, I’ve stared at this too long and I have no idea if its rubbish or not but here you go.
Fucking hell, woman! This is painfully beautiful, and this is the magic of your writing - it hooks into me and leaves an impression I’ll feel for ages. So well done!
I wanted to say that I’m proud of you, and you’re doing great. No matter what, you will always matter, and if things seem impossible or too lost in the dark, I know there’s still a spark in you- it may just be a tiny ember, but even if all you did or do today is open your eyes, I am your loudest cheerleader, fucking rooting for you
Prompt: Demon!Dean in the dungeon with ice play and overstimulation.
Content Warnings: BDSM stuff, restraints, blindfolds, toys. Everything is consensual here. If you’re not into anything mentioned above, may want to sit this one out
WC: ~1300
A/N:Another ‘drabble’ that got away from me! I can’t help it, I love words too much. Thanks again @alleiradayne for the beta read!
And always, thank you to everyone reading and sharing. I had fun with this and I certainly hope you do too…
You’d always wondered what it’d be like.
As much as demons were a pain in the ass, you could never stop yourself from imagining what it’d be like to fuck one. It was a deep-seated fantasy, a filthy little secret that you’d never shared with anyone…not even Dean.
Selfish? Maybe.
Stupid? Probably.
But this was Dean. Even wrapped up in ‘lean, mean, Dean’, he was still the man you loved.
Hiiiiiii!! I’m Sam! (I promise, my name is Samantha. Hate it so I go by Sam) I’m new to all of this. I follow so many amazing blogs on my personal, so I decided to maybe give this a go. I’m hoping to meet some amazing people here so if anyone has any advice on navigating any of this I’d appreciate it. Been a fan for so long, just always been afraid to make a blog ❤️ Hopefully ya’ll like what I write, or at least enjoy me!
If you send me an ask containing links to Good Omens fan fiction you think I should read, I’ll delete it. Do it again and I’ll (regretfully) block you. This is a general blanket sort of thing – I don’t want to read it, legally I can’t read it, no I won’t make it into the next series, and, no matter how pure your motives, it’s crossing a line.
I’m reading a lot of baffled responses to this. People, I’m showrunning and co-writing the Good Omens TV series. I can’t legally read unsolicited plot ideas. Think of Netflix. Their terms of service include
8.2. Unsolicited Materials. Netflix does not accept unsolicited materials or ideas for Netflix content and is not responsible for the similarity of any of its content or programming in any media to materials or ideas transmitted to Netflix.
…and you’ll find similar clauses out there for other production entities. They are trying to safeguard themselves. There are people out there who are certain that a hit film or TV series is based on their stolen idea. The easiest way to avoid that is to make sure that their ideas can’t get to you.
It’s nothing to do with not approving of what you do. It’s about not putting me, the producers, the BBC or Prime Video at risk — or about having to throw away plans for the future because someone did that in fanfiction first. I can’t legally read unsolicited scripts or story proposals or manuscripts and sending me a link to your or someone else’s Good Omens fiction counts as those things. If I read your story and then did something close to it you could sue. So I’m not going to read it. There’s no emotional baggage in this. I’m definitely not telling you that what you are doing isn’t valid. (And If I wasn’t showrunning I wouldn’t be so Please Don’t and I Will Delete about it. But I am. So don’t. Thank you!)
Reminder that “By Any Means Necessary,” one of the best episodes of Babylon 5, nearly didn’t get made because some fan suggested a similar idea (a workers’ strike on the space station, dealing with workers’ safety and labor issues at a time when Star Trek: TNG was still on the air).
I can’t remember how far along the episode was in production — I think a rough draft of the script had been written —but showrunner J. Michael Straczynski had to pull the plug on the episode until they finally tracked down the fan who’d suggested a “workers’ strike” story on Usenet and get legal documents signed that the fan wouldn’t sue or ask for a cut of the proceeds. AND the documents had to be watertight enough that Warner Bros’ legal dept was satisfied all financial/legal risk had been eliminated. In other words, it wasn’t up to JMS to make the call.
Sadly, after that, he could no longer participate in the old Babylon 5 Usenet discussion list, where he used to interact directly with fans, answering questions. It was just safer if he stayed away, because that way nobody could accuse him of lifting ideas for the show. We don’t want Neil to have to pull back for the same reason.
A lot of creators avoid social media for the same reason. Those that are here @neil-gaiman,@dduane , have a hard and fast rule not to look at unasked solicitations.
And now that Babylon 5 might get a reboot, JMS has issued a similar request:
Reblogging for people who think I’m overreacting or whatever.
Honestly, I had no clue that this was a thing - the legality issue. As fans, it seems we sometimes forget that we’re experiencing a finished product. For books, we forget about the agents and editors and managers and PR (and probably a slew of other things I’m unaware of). The tv shows we see are the result of hundreds of hours of work, done by hundreds of different people, doing hundreds of different jobs - every single name that scrolls by on the credits is an integral piece of what we are about to (or have just) see or seen.
Alot goes into the production of entertainment that we know absolutely nothing about. Give the actors, writers, directors, and other headlining names a break - they’re employees doing a job at the direction of their boss, whose boss has told them how their bosses expect their bosses job to get done.
I came across something Scooby-Natural related and I had an epiphany:
That episode was ridiculous. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it…it was campy, quaint, and endearing and those aren’t bad things.
But there was something about it that never sat right with me, something cringy that I could never quite put my finger on. And I finally figured it out:
It was Dean.
They made Dean into a skeevy horn-dog who couldn’t think about anything but getting up Daphne’s skirt. They didn’t give him any game, je ne sais quoi or savoire-faire. They made him all “I gotta get me a piece of that”.
Dean was more suave, respectful, and chivalrous when he met his favorite pornstar for fucks sake…the sex was her idea!!
I mean, we all have our fanfic headcanons. But even canonically, this maybe would’ve worked with S1-S3 Dean, but not S13 Dean.
Anyway, I need to go think about something else for awhile
