:D :D :D    •    4.01 Lazarus Rising -- my favorite season opener.  The long silent sequence where Dean claws himself out of the grave and finds his way back to Bobby and Sam -- it's SO GOOD.  And then everything about it.  I love it.  One of my favorite of all eps for sure.
:D :D    •    4.02 Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester -- all the great Witnessing spirits, including Meg and Ronald Resnick and Henriksen.  wow!
:D :D     •    4.03 In the Beginning -- going back in time to meet Samuel, Deanna, young John, young Mary, with bonus the Impala!  excellent.
o_o  •    4.04 Metamorphosis -- the rugaru, a little heavy handed but not terrible...
:D    •    4.05 Monster Movie  -- not only the black and white,  but the  LEDERHOSEN.  plus I love anything with shifters.
  :)  •    4.06 Yellow Fever -- the ep that gave us Eye of the Tiger can't be all bad, even tho, as often with Dabb and Loflin, there is an element that bothers me a whole lot -- here, the way they destroy the ghost.  extremely awful.  I'm torn about this ep...
:)    •    4.07 It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester -- Uriel, Cas on a bench, and Sam using his powers.  I like it.  :)
 :D   •    4.08 Wishful Thinking -- There is the issue of non-con in this ep, which ought to kill it, but as is usual with Edlund, for me, the overall story works.  Kneel before Todd!
 :D   •    4.09 I Know What You Did Last Summer -- so many great moments in this ep, not the least was the church window stunt -- amazing!
:D    •    4.10 Heaven and Hell -- a very well plotted ep and one that had me riveted for the hiatus.  I really loved Ruby and the long game in this.  wow!
 :)   •    4.11 Family Remains -- heartbreaking ep about humans being the monster.  very well done I thought.
 :D   •    4.12 Criss Angel Is a Douchebag -- an interesting ep, and one does have to give them credit for seeing what would happen with a different actor playing Old Dean.  Didn't quite work for me tho.
 :D :D   •    4.13 After School Special -- crucial ep for learning who Sam and Dean were as kids.
 :D   •    4.14 Sex and Violence -- the siren ep, so hearbreaking!
 o_o   •    4.15 Death Takes a Holiday -- the one where they become ghosts.  there are some problems with this ep, but not dire.
  :D :D :D  •    4.16 On the Head of a Pin -- another of my favorite eps of all time.  If only the show had kept up with their judgment on Torture.
 :D :D :D   •    4.17 It's a Terrible Life  -- SMITH AND WESSON.  so much awesome!!
 :D :D :D   •    4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book  - CHUCK!!
 :D   •    4.19 Jump the Shark  -- I really like the character of Adam, and what it meant to Dean and Sam, so I am pro this ep.
:D :D   •    4.20 The Rapture -- the Jimmy and Clare ep!!  I loved it.  The horrors of being a vessel.  wah.
 :D   •    4.21 When the Levee Breaks -- omg, poor Sam,  so horrible
 :D   •    4.22 Lucifer Rising -- this ep is awesome in every detail.  So amazing SPN.

I set quite a few challenges for myself in 2009 and made a big leap forward in terms of numbers of stories and words posted.
Thanks so very much to all who commented!  I know some people say "you write for yourself" but personally, I write to communicate my ideas to others.  I am honestly very interested in whatever you have to say, be it positive or politely negative.

72 pieces, includings stories, ficlets, poems and drabbles  (77,000 words)

plus Seven Substantial Metas.

And a Song!! :)

LOVE IS COMMENTS.  :)

I honestly don't know whether I'll write this much again in 2010, as my goal is to do more personal writing in my private journal, which has fallen by the wayside in recent years, and to write more poems and songs about real life. 

I'll also be posting that roundup meme.  Cheers to you, flist!  Happy New Year!

TITLE: "angels fall like rain"

PAIRING, RATING:  This piece is Gen, but it is about Dean and Castiel.

WARNINGS:  not so much, except it is written as a prose poem and does not divide evenly into 100 word chunks  :)  angst, light literary allusion, heavy use of consonants.

SPOILERS:  for situation through 4.20

NOTES: This fic is for roguebitch , who bit when I offered the Demand a Drabble meme.  However, this Fic is Not a Drabble.  It is an experimental prose/poem form. The title is from "Ghost in You" by Psychedelic Furs, a beautiful, serene, and celestial song, very different from this angsty fic. Thanks Cassie! hope you like it!!

COMMENTS:  strongly desired -- also, Demand a Drabble!

DISCLAIMER:  do not own; no money made; this is a transformative work.

I drafted these drabbles listening to songs on itunes, and then honed them to precise 100 word drabbles.
Thanks to bowtrunckle , tahirire  and samidha  for reading and commenting on the previous drafts!

This contains Speculation only, and reviews of the situation through 4.18, in response to lemmings_ post over at spn_heavymeta.

I'm always about Redemption.  So in my fantasy, Dean will have to make a choice being spilling blood and having mercy, and by having mercy, he will win.
( (but it probably won't feel that way to him). )

MY RESPONSE TO 4.17,
WITH LINGERING RESPONSES TO 4.16,
AND EVEN 4.15!
AND THE BRILLIANCE OF SAM IN S4 IN GENERAL.

This is a lot of different trains of thought, drawn from my comments to lots of folks' awesome meta posts -- so sorry if it's a bit of a ramble!  I'm trying to talk about Sam and his motivations in recent episodes, and how much I love him in s4.

As a starryeyed deangrrl, s4 has convinced me wholeheartedly to love Sam.

His arc this season follows perfectly from the Sammy we first came to know and love in Mystery Spot -- this really is the hunter Sam becomes.  Remember Jus in Bello, how Sam watched and protected Dean, after he finally understood how breakable his invincible big brother could be.

S4 brings all that into play, and more.   What's at stake in this season is the Hunter Sam will become, and whether Dean will ever see himself as a Hero again.

susannaheanes  in a fit of MISHA MISHA MISHA challenged for this. 
I did my best.
1. Castiel gets his freak on with Dean
2. This is set between the mid s4 and the s5 series finale.
3. Castiel attempts to heal Dean heartbroken over Sam.
4. It all happens in a Monastery.
5.  Dedicated to a Rogue Gnostic Episcopalian, because Sex should be a religious experience. \0/
6.  Bonus! misappropriation of Christian scripture.

No angel!peen, no deen!peen.  Sorry!  This is PG rated Angelic ecstasy.
Kripke, please avert your eyes, while I mess around with the pretty, pretty men.
