Unofficial Rec Bulletin #174, Promo Edition, November -December, 2020

Hello guys! The show is over and we all hoped for some peace when we are done, but alas. 15x18 invigorated fandom and caused a creative outburst like nothing before. Season 16 is here and we all are winging it. Destielfanfic is bringing back our retired Unofficial Rec Bulletin to keep track of and to promote the latest fanndom events.

This survey is geared towards discovering less known fics. Every submission counts, every submitted fic will be added to The Destiel Fan Survey Favs Collection on AO3 which contains more than 2400 fics and 550 bookmarks that were chosen by destiel readers in previous surveys.

There’s still time to cast your vote for your favorite fanfic trope in Trope Voting 2020 organized by @destieltropecollection

The one and only, the oldest destiel fanfic challenge  DeanCas Big Bang 2020 organized by @deancasbigbang finished posting it’s 2020 round. Check out their Master List here on tumblr or wander off to DCBB 2020 collection on AO3.

How Supernatural Buried Its Gays by @some-people-call-it-tragic​ - a fan documentary born out of spite, made by a fan for all destiel fans. It features video clips from destiel fans sharing their experience about the show.

They call us .... destihellers. They meant to insult, we took it back. 2020 will be the year when destiel fandom reclaimed the insult destiheller and started wearing it with pride. We are all hellers now. We also have art and an entry in Urban Dictionary. ;)

to help fandom to keep up with all new episodes of season 16, a new blog was born to check all the facts - @destieldailynews. Give them a follow!

Happiness Isn’t In The Having - 15x18 coda fic rec list. Castiel’s confession inspired destiel writers to pour their hearts and souls into writing coda fics and this floodgate has not been closed yet. This rec list is just a small sample of hundreds upon hundreds of coda fics. I’m planning on posting at least one more coda rec list for 15x20, just give me time guys. 

Destiel Fic Starter Pack was created to help new fans to get around destiel fic and I’m absolutely floored by the love and attention it is getting. After 15x18 our blog is experiencing a hike in new follows and we are happy to welcome everyonne. You can learn more about the history of this blog by going through our Seasons Change tag. 

for absolutely no reason whatsoever I wanted to mention that we have a bartender Dean fic rec list Living That Dream which was recently updated with a fic about a bar owner and brewer Dean W. who brews new beers and names them after Castiel. No reason to mention it at all! Also, check out our Group Asks  #185 and #186. Quite a few lost fics have been found!

My First Destiel Fic survey - a fun little project where every destiel fan is welcome to share their first destiel fic experience. See this post for submission rules and check out this tag for all relevant posts! All submissions will will be posted, starting tomorrow.

Wattpad is sold to South Korean company Naver - see this post and its notes for fandom commentary on the situation; and since the source link goes to the article behind the paywall, here are some other articles - X, X, X. The fandom history teaches us that every time when a fic hosting platform is sold to new owners, the TOS will be changed and certain content can and will be deleted. Queer content is usually the first victim, but in the case of Wattpad there are legitimate concerns about the future of Real People Fiction (RPF) on the site. Side note - due to various reasons our blog has never recced fics that are hosted only on Wattpad, so this time our rec links are not affected.

We own the servers - AO3 - ever wondered how AO3 actually looks like? Now you can Just click on the link and see the mothership. <3

The 2021 Destiel Favs Survey had a successful run again and newly suggested fics are already added to the The Destiel Fan Survey Favs Collection on AO3. Check out the main post for the Rookies of the year list!

@destielficarchive - there’s a new destiel fic archive blog on the block! The Fic Archive Project seeks to find, preserve, and archive Destiel fics  with an emphasis on older, harder-to-find stories that have never been posted on AO3 and Works that have been deleted from AO3, LJ, FF.net, or any other platform. Check out their Introduction post and see if you can help in any way. The Archive is curated by destiel writer and Destiel Favs Survey creator @unforth. <3

@destieltropecollection is accepting the fic submissions for its Trope Collection rec lists, see this post for criteria. It’s time for some self promotion! (deadline April 25, 2021) Or check out the blog for their previous collections!

@destieldailynews - your one blog stop for all the latest destiel fandom news!
