TAKE ME! Submission post for Quickies Jan-Feb 2018

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

A NEW YEAR, A NEW ROUND OF QUICKIES!
Artists, get ready, because from today until the end of January, authors can offer up a story they would love to have illustrated! Art can be anything from a banner to a scene illustration and we welcome all media, from pencil sketches to digital designs. To avoid procrastination we have one rule: you have to set yourself a deadline within a month after claiming. Art can be posted until February 28th.

AUTHORS!
This is the place to submit SHORT stories that are already written! It doesn't matter if the fic is old or new, as long as it has less than 4000 words and there is no accompanying art, you can offer it up. Comment with your name, contact email and a link to your fic. Include a short snippet or summary to entice an artist! Describe visuals to seduce them:)
Sample code:
<b>Name:</b> <user site="livejournal.com" user="NAME"> <b>Email:</b> <b>Title:</b> <a href="LINK">TITLE</a> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Visuals: </b>
To give all authors equal space, you can only submit up to three fics here; make a new comment for each story, please!


ARTISTS
WANT TO GET CREATIVE? Check out the stories on offer in the comments below!
If you see a fic you would love to make art for, reply to the author to put a reservation on it. CONTACT the author privately to set up a timeline, so they can cheer you on and make sure you share your expectations! What rating did you have in mind? Do you welcome input or rather keep the art a surprise until posting? After your definite claim you have a month to create (or less if your muse is up for it;). Have fun!

Done? Post in the community with a story banner or a teaser image; this is an art-community after all, so we want to SEE at least a bit of it:) Whether you link to your artpost in your own journal or directly to the author's story is up to you. We do encourage you to promote each other's work!

No one has claimed yet - I'd be thrilled if you did!

I'm sure i've read it before because I remember the locks and Sam not throwing the keys away but I don't recall when it is set (season/year) right off the top of my head. I am definitely going to read it again before I start 'arting' but it'd help me if you could tell me what season you pictured when writing it.

So excited to get started!!!

OK, so it is set in season 9, post episode 15 (Thinman) and it all came to a head in my mind after the breakup of the Ghostfacers besties, Harry and Ed.

This is the dialogue from the script, which is where my mind started wandering down the path with the brothers on this idea:
HARRY
...You roll with a guy so many years, you start to think he's always gonna be next to you. Like, when you're old and you're drinking on the porch, he'll be in that other rocking chair. And then something happens, and you realize that other chair has gone empty.

[SAM and DEAN both have looks on their faces that tell us they are no longer hearing this story about ED and HARRY but are painfully aware of how this applies to the brother right beside them.]

Thank you. That helps me get a much better feel for the story than I had. Hopefully, I'll have something done by the end of the weekend.

I have the piece ready. Do you want to see it before it gets posted? Should I email it to you? Just let me know.

It's scheduled to post in about 5 mins or so. I don't know where you are but it'd be 9:00am CST. I'll also email it you so you can include it with the story if you like (no pressure!). Thank you so much for giving my the opportunity to do some art for a story I love.
