Honey, you're gonna swell my head. Thank you!!! (But I'm sure it's not that good.)

Even though there must be a lot of research and plotting, it really feels natural to the readers

I usually do reams of research for my fics, but in this case I'm drawing on a story I already knew a lot about... Um. No, I can't say right now as that's a spoiler for the next chapter. But suffice to say I picked a legend I'm fairly sure Kripke, with his Americana obsession, won't touch (*g*). But I can have fun with it!

I guess that's the best way to do these things: start with a familiar place.

As for plotting...I think my biggest challenge with this one is keeping it gen. It's really making me see how much I use slash as a shortcut at times. Without that emotional subtext I have to look for other reasons and motivations for the characters and...I guess I'm a tad rusty :-)

Thanks again!
