How I Lost My Shit: There was no plot to this fic. I went back and edited it several times over the years as I became more experienced, but I had no idea what to add.
How I Finished My Shit: I wanted to complete it so badly that I constructed an entire plot from scratch, in the end. It was half spite-fueled, with regards to the one bookmarker who tagged this fic as 'dead' (happy September Spite Month!), and half hope fueled, by all the kudos I'd still get years later and the one bookmarker who tagged it 'never gonna give you up'.

Summary:
Two-shot fusion:

Part One-- Dean joins a dating community and hits it off with a nerdy guy named Cas, but when their relationship expires according to the rules of the program, they have to find their way back to each other (again).

Part Two-- The angel Franklin is taken to the Empty for confessing his love, which he's happy to do if it helps stop Chuck from destroying everything in reality. Luckily for him, the love he feels is reciprocated by a very determined Amy Winchester.

Art Title: Art for "After Apple Picking"
Fandom: Supernatural

Warnings: N/A
Bragging Rights: This fic has Sam and Dean living in an old farmhouse with an apple orchard out back, so I tried to invoke a homey kitchen feel, with pictures of their loved ones around.

Warnings: nudity, imprisonment/medical abuse, coma, fic spoilers
Bragging Rights: This project broke my sewing machine and got glue everywhere but it's DONE and I personally think it looks cool, so here have a diorama, it was great working with Broken_Twisted_Lullabies on this and you should totally check out their fic!

Art Title: Art For "The Two Brothers"
Fandom: Supernatural/Once Upon A Time
Link: AO3 | Tumblr: Cover / Fanmix
Warnings: None
Bragging Rights: I think the hardest part of all of this was finding the book graphic (and patiently waiting for the chapter titles). The fanmix was put together pretty quickly from a list of tracks my author gave me, and the cover is part of the fanmix cover with Trenchcoat_Paradigm's name on it. The chapter titles use the same book graphic the back cover uses, just a little different with colorization and the manga textures I used. But I had a lot of fun with this.

Warnings: None for the art
Bragging Rights: I did some tweaking with the base image to make it look like it was snowing, and the dates were in a snowglobe. I think it came out well! The story already had a cover so I made chapter headers, each one with the date that the chapter takes place on. It was hard keeping everything straight, but I really love how these came out.

Story Title: The Angel's Broken Rapture
Fandom: Supernatural
Link: The Angel's Broken Rapture on AO3

Summary: Sam and Dean don't find Jimmy Novak in time before the demons corner him. But it isn't the demons who kill him.

After Jimmy's death, Sam and Dean's only connection to Castiel is through Claire Novak. A few years pass. When a 14-year old Claire has no place to go, Sam and Dean take her in and semi-retire from hunting. Thanks to Cas telling them about the Men of Letters Bunker during their first meeting with Claire, Sam and Dean can provide a more permanent home for her.

Shortly after her 18th birthday, Claire discovers an unnerving truth that she doesn't think even Sam and Dean can handle.

Warnings: Suicide/Intentional Self-Harm
Characters: Claire Novak, Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, Castiel, Jack Kline
Pairings:
Claire Novak/Jack Kline, Sam Winchester/Castiel (mostly at the end)
When I Started: I started this story in February 2021 or a little after that, not sure. This story is for a Supernatural writing challenge -- Supernatural Trope Celebration. I was glad to do a story with this kind of storyline. I think since I saw episode 10x09 where Castiel tries to help Claire, I wanted to explore their complicated bond.


How I Lost My Shit: I felt this story was experimental and I was nervous about posting it. I really needed some extra motivation to work on and complete this story. I was stuck on several scenes for some time. The story progress was going slower than I wanted.
How I Finished My Shit: I'm glad that I used this story for the WIP Big Bang. Knowing this story was in the two writing challenges was a great motivator. Also, the timed writing sprints on one of the Discord servers I'm in helped a ton in pushing me to complete this story.

Story Title: Turn The Page
Fandom: Supernatural 
Link(s): Story on AO3
Summary: Sam and Cas go to help Jimmy Novak from the other world when they learn that he’s dying. 

This different world is one where Sam didn't die at Cold Oak, so Dean never made the demon deal. The battle between Michael and Lucifer at Stull Cemetery never took place. And Castiel never officially met the brothers, remaining in Heaven for the most part.

Jimmy’s predicament is the cause of demons retaliating for Sam’s visit months ago. After all, Sam's presence led to two Archangels coming down to Earth. These demons strongly prefer the status quo: angels stay up in Heaven while demons face little threat from angels on Earth. 

Sam and Cas work to save Jimmy's life. Their time in the other reality takes an unexpected turn after Cas sacrifices himself. While Cas saves Jimmy from the brink of death, Sam can't bear losing Cas for good. Unfortunately, Sam also must sort out his conflicting feelings for the other Jimmy while being secretly in love with Cas.

 This story takes place shortly after SPN episode, 15x03 "The Rupture."
Warnings: None
Characters: Sam Winchester, Castiel, Jimmy Novak, Jack Kline, Claire Novak, Dean Winchester, Gabriel

When I Started: May 2020
How I Lost My Shit: Okay, I admit I started the story prior to the sign up deadline for the WIP BB this year. I was nervous about doing this story because it was a sequel. After all, it helps to be familiar with the previous installment to get a better understanding of the sequel. Though I try my best to fill in any necessary details for newcomers to the story universe.
How I Finished My Shit: Seeing the really nice response on the previous story (Fade to Black); I was motivated to return to the world of this story.
Upon seeing WIP BB return this year, I felt the sequel was the best story to do since I had an idea brewing for it. Having deadlines helps me a lot as well as the writing sprints on Discord. Everything came together to encourage me to finish this story.

Bragging Rights: I had a lot of fun working on these. I got two different requests for the banner and wallpaper, and after I found the pine tree picture at Pexels the wallpaper basically made itself. But I totally love the banner the most. Click the wallpaper for the full size!

Art Title: Fanmix For "Angel of the Morning"
Fandom: Supernatural
Warnings: None
Link: Fic | Art: Tumblr / AO3 | Music: 8tracks / Download
Bragging Rights: Doing art for OC-centric fics can be hard, but I lucked out with this one that Gabriel's wings play a huge part of the fic. Once I figured out how to do a decent gold gradient tint to the feathers on the wings, I think it was just perfect. Even though it's a simple looking set of covers, this is one of the ones I'm most proud of.

Summary: When Dean turns up on Jody's doorstop, injured and alone, Jody has to work with Bobby to figure out what happened and find Sam.
Warnings None
Characters: Jody Mills, Bobby Singer, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester
Pairings: None
When I Started: I wrote a version of this story years ago.
How I Lost My Shit: The original story I wrote used original characters from another fic writer's universe. I tried contacting them to ask if they minded me posting anyway and they never got back to me, so I never posted the story anywhere.
How I Finished My Shit I was catching up on the show and suddenly realised I could alter the story pretty easily to be about Jody, rather than the other characters, so I dug it out and rewrote it for the challenge, and now it will finally see the light of day!

Link(s): here
Summary: As Peter and Sam's relationship blossoms, new challenges arrive.
Warnings Canon typical violence, lots of hurt Sam.
Characters: Sam Winchester, Peter Parker, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov.
Pairings: Sam Winchester/Peter Parker
When I Started: I started to write the "sequel" to Interlude not long after WIPBB 2017 since I only wrote half of what I wanted at the time. Jokes on me.
How I Lost My Shit: I wrote 4k, and stopped. Then, there were exchanges and bingos. Months passed and I didn't continue it.
How I Finished My Shit I knew that if I didn't write now I would never do it. After finishing a bingo (yes, again), I took advantage of the Camp NaNoWriMo in April to write regugarly, and it worked! I thought the fic would end up somewhere around 20-25k. I was wrong. So, so wrong. This is only chapter 2 out of 5, but fear not, the others are ready, I just need to tweak them a little more.

Story Title: Only Human After All
Fandom: Teen Wolf/Supernatural Crossover

Link(s): Fic on AO3

She turns to hunting, knowing it's something she can do far away from Beacon Hills. Her dad's friend Rufus takes her under his wing, and she lets her grief and anger fuel her missions. And then Stiles shows up at a ghost hunt, and Allison's perspective changes. He might not be such a bad partner, but what would it mean to keep him in her life?

Warnings: Scott does not come back to life. Canon-typical violence.
Characters: Allison Argent, Stiles Stilinski, Rufus Turner, Lydia Martin, Chris Argent, OCs
Pairings: Allison/Stiles
When I Started: Sept 2015
How I Lost My Shit: Heroine BB kind of fell apart that year, so I did not have any motivation to finish it. I got caught up in other exchanges and BBs, and then Teen Wolf was coming to an end and I was emo about that.
How I Finished My Shit: This story was rolling around in my head for a long time, and WIP BB gave me the perfect excuse to finish it! Plus, the amazing art gave me the kick in the behind I needed.
