Family don’t end in blood. And, apparently, family doesn’t end when you talk a relative’s ear off about Supernatural. Sandra and Kasey had a great time discussing Season 1 of Supernatural with first-time watcher, Joey. Oh, and Ted was along for the ride to provide a slightly less obsessive take on the Family Business.   ~~~ We're taking you for a spin in Baby's backseat.

Podfic Time – “And She Was” by quickreaver It’s kind of unfair how talented quickreaver is to be honest. Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is also an extremely talented writer. Once I got permission to narrate her stuff, I have to admit that I couldn’t decide. So, I ended up picking two. Here’s my second pick, “And She Was.” This one is less high stakes, more magic ~ Dean being Dean, Sam being so over him, per usual. The voices of the characters really ring authentic in this short supernatural story.  Please visit the fic on AO3 and give it a kudo and comment - it deserves a ton of praise! ~ Sandra ~~~~~ Supernatural Fandom Rated Teen Gen (No Pairing) Summary: The one where Sam has cause to hate witches as much as Dean does.

Podfic Time – “Rabbits Scream” by quickreaver It’s kind of unfair how talented quickreaver is to be honest. Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is also an extremely talented writer. Once I got permission to narrate her stuff, I admit I couldn’t decide. So, I ended up picking two. First up is Rabbits Scream.

Add another check to the Sam column! Sandra and Kasey had the privilege of talking to the awesomely accomplished Cris, known as quickreaver in the SPN fandom. Cris describes herself as Sam-centric and Dean-flavored. With over 75 works on AO3, consisting of both written and digital art, she’s been creating in the Supernatural community since the heyday of LiveJournal. Sandra and Kasey were in awe of this legend and talent. Listen, and you will be blown away as well. You can find Cris on AO3 and tumblr. ~~~ We're taking you for a spin in Baby's backseat.

Sandra and Kasey were excited to welcome back BJ, darali_starscream on AO3, to talk about her current in-progress/posted work, Double Booked.  The Sam/Reader/Dean fic summary on AO3 reads: “A non-chronological log of various encounters, incidents, and exchanges of things. Mostly kinky. Mind the tags please.” This brief summary doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the themes and characterizations lying in wait for a reader to uncover under mind-blowing smut. It’s blown up on AO3 with over 17,000 hits at the time of recording. It seemed like a great time to gently take this author to task. Luckily, BJ agreed.
