I haven’t participated in a zine in years, but when I heard about this one I knew I wanted to be a part of it ! As I thought of how I would have liked Supernatural to end, I realized I just wanted Dean and Cas to be able to settle down somewhere and fix up a place. They went through so much in the show, I definitely think they deserve the chance to take it easy.
I’m near the finish line for the new (gigantic) chapter ofFamily Secrets (it’s my longest update yet). I’m publishing this week, hopefully before the weekend but realistically, it’ll probably happen during the weekend. I’m sharing in this post all the art that I’ve commissioned specifically for Family Secrets in 2019 and this year, and that was drawn beautifully and gorgeously (and with so much heart) by Blind Sominium or Sam, so I can link to them from AO3.
These art pieces will appear throughout the new chapter on AO3. Some of them are conceptual, on theme with the Lupercalia – with Dean’s sketches channeling the god Faunus and Sam’s channeling Pan to symbolize the Greek and Roman gods honored at the Lupercalia festival, hence the horns. (Remember that in “Family Secrets” the Campbells and the Winchesters are both traditional but follow different denominations that are rooted in different mythologies).
If you’ve read Family Secrets, you know this is all symbolic. The story is not fantasy per se and there are no “creatures” in the story (it’s not a creature-fic!). The ancient god motifs present in the Lupercalia are used for inspiration and to signify different spiritual beliefs and traditions within the AU world of FS, but it’s all surface stuff – no different than Mardi Gras being a festival that precedes Lent but that still has balls and floats that honor Bacchus, the Greek god of wine. The Lupercalia is just a tiny step above that in the sense that the coming-of-age festival is less rooted in Christianity and is rather built around ancient Greek and Roman mythologies that are at home with human nature as half beast and half man, both divine and earthly.
I hate adding watermarks on original artwork because it ruins the look, imo, and takes away from the experience. So please share courteously and consciously, within the parameters outlined below, honoring the artist through respecting their copyright.
I can’t wait to share the new chapter with you and hear your feedback. I pray that you enjoy reading it too.
Sign-ups are now open for the 2022 Sam Winchester Big Bang!
We would love to have you join us to produce any kind of Sam-centric fic (we welcome any ships as well as fics with no ships at all; all we ask is that Sam be the central character).
We offer two lengths: a mini-bang (5k minimum) or big bang (15k minimum). You don’t have to commit to which one you’re doing until rough draft submission in July. Artists are expected to produce one piece for a mini bang or two pieces for a big.
Author rough drafts are due on 11 July, artist claims will happen on 16 July, and posting will start on 5 September. You can find a full timeline here and the bang rules here. We also have a dedicated Discord server for the bang and will be inviting all participants to join us there should they so wish. Any questions? Please feel free to ask them!
