I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this year's Big Bang. I wanted to give Sam DID and explore that. Wee!Sam, Stanford, Series, I wanted to do it all. But then I realized this fic wanted to be written in short bursts, because all of Sam's alters wanted to have their say, and I didn't know if I could keep it up for 20k.

Cue panicking when I realized I had no fucking idea what to do.

And somehow I decided on this. I don't remember exactly how, though I think it's safe to say that the people to blame include; [livejournal.com profile] waterofthemoon, [livejournal.com profile] ashley, [livejournal.com profile] unperfectwolf, [livejournal.com profile] gigglingkat and [livejournal.com profile] stephanometra.

So this is my fic, as it came to be. Sort of. The idea went along the lines of this:

Dean randomly realizes one day that Sam probably wouldn't think to tell someone about his deadly allergy to X. Cue freaking out. Dean sends postcards to Jess, telling her things like that and how to keep Sammy alive, well, and relatively happy. They become letters, which become phone calls.

I'd like to thank all my friends, but [livejournal.com profile] waterofthemoon specifically, because she's the only reason I didn't just give up several times.

I seem to have this thing about writing long fic in order, I wrote my Big Bang last year all out of order too. It tends to work in the end because my betas are fucking amazing and go so very far above and beyond their duties.

I'm glad you liked the details, I love putting them in. My favorite parts of fics are usually small details, like Sam tripping over his shoelaces or Dean only using a certain toothpaste.

I know the ending was kind of abrupt but I knew I had to make a very clean, clear break with this fic otherwise I never would've been able to finish it in time (and very nearly almost didn't).

As for more?
