I'm thinking and thinking and thinking about doing Big Bang and I guess my greatest fear will be to sign up and then again fail.
I have written stories that long before. I've just written them in chunks so it doesn't seem to be that much and I was so disappointed in myself for not getting done last year. I have a couple of ideas but I think one I can't do because it's a story I've started and talked about and one the idea has been done before but I'm not sure exactly in this particular way.
I actually think the small town cops AU has the scope to be something this large, especially if I indulge in flashbacks etc. However I've talked about this story a couple of times so I don't think it's anonymous enough.
The other is a Mary doesn't die story, but with the canon it is now so she's aware of what happened and actually takes Sam away, giving what she thinks to John and Dean is a chance at a normal life. So John's obsession and eventually Dean's becomes hunting down his wife and the son she stole away rather than hunting down her killer. I think in the beginning he wouldn't exactly know why she left or only took one son and so the story will also be discovering this. Or perhaps getting the wrong end of the stick completely and hunting down Mary because he believes she is something other than human.
I kind of like the idea of John being destined to hunt no matter what the outcome of that night had been.
Into this story I'd probably have Mary training Sam to be her weapon against the yellow-eyed demon for destroying her life and killing her own mother and father. Bending his own blade back on himself. Perhaps she and Sam separate and Dean gets close to Sam with Sam not understanding who Dean is and therefore there's a confrontation...
No matter which way I think about it, this isn't going to be a happy story. I can see ways it might have a happy ending or at least a hopeful one but I think there's going to be a lot of scarring along the way.
I still have to ponder this awhile and might decide to do something completely different or throw up my hands and not do this at all because I don't really have time...
But I want to. :)

That's so intriguing! I really like your idea about him and Dean chasing her and Sam down!
I have a nagging feeling that if you write this, you'll break me into tiny little pieces...it'd be like Minor in action and The past always finds you all over again!

I think the reason I didn't get to the 50k this time around was because, this year, unlike the rest, I told myself I was going to get to bed at midnight or else. I remember once, about two years ago, spending the whole night writing, I was so far behind. *g*
I say, go for it. I know not getting there sucks big time, but it'll be worse if you don't sign up and then WISH you had. I think. *shrugs* Huggles either way.
