It's a little bit funny...

Regarding SPN stories - I always find myself writing in Dean POV - his voice just seems to come through loud and clear and it's funny because I'm still and probably always will be more partial to Sam. Maybe it's because I like the way Dean sees Sam, what Dean sees in Sam.

I want to practice my Sam voice though because I want to do a wing!fic piece from his POV. Anybody want to let me know a story of mine they want to see from Sam POV? (Obviously not any of the wing!fic pieces... :))

Sekrit message to estei, your birthday fic is horribly late but still on its way. !!

I find Dean's voice easier, too. I think it's because he's more obvious, in general. His emotions aren't as subtle because he always feels things 100%, he doesn't waver and question himself and those around him as much. His feelings are always all over his face. Sam is a little harder to figure out. We don't really KNOW how he feels about a lot of what's going on - we just know how he feels about Dean.

That's very true - I don't like to think of Dean as being all surface, but he certainly wears his heart on his sleeve much more. Even when he's hurting you can see it just because of the way he shuts down, whereas Sam shuts down for a miriad of reasons. It's getting harder and harder to predict how Sam will react in any given situation. I know there's been a progression of both characters but Dean's progression would look like a smooth arc whereas Sam's would be jagged like the lines of mountains.

But that's what's also fun about writing them... :D

That's funny. I am way more partial to Dean, but I find I tend to write from Sam POV. It's interesting how that works.

I wonder if being partial to a character means that we'd rather speak ABOUT him, rather than THROUGH him.

I think that is definitely part of it. Or at least it is true for some circumstances or the story one is trying to tell. But at least for me, I tend to write from characters I don't relate to as well. Not to say I am dean because yikes LOL But I can relate to a lot of his core traits and perhaps I like the distance of getting into a character's a head that I don't identify as much with. It makes for an interesting reflection.

That's very possible... :D

Hee! I would probably love anything you rewrite, or newwrite, or whatever, and I'm terrible at picking, but here's a few I'd especially be interested in:

Picture Perfect
My Daddy Didn't Have Days Like This
Sunday Morning Coming Down
The Road Less Travelled
Five Times Dean Winchester Tries to Leave
Five Times Dean Was Truly Afraid
