Fic: And There's That Pesky Thing Called Reality - Master Post

[fandomcorner]

Title: And There's That Pesky Thing Called Reality
Author name: hils
Artist name: jord_el
Fandom: CWRPS
Genre: Slash
Pairings: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 29,000
Summary: Jared wishes he had the life of Sam and Dean Winchester but unfortunately they are fictional characters in a series of books. Instead he's stuck working at the library with only his imagination for company. When he breaks his leg in an accident his life goes from mundane to just plain boring, until he finds himself in posession of a computer. Pretty soon he's fully immersed in the crazy world of Supernatural fandom. It's just lucky for him he has resident BNF Jensen to hold his hand through it all. Now if they could just get over the fact that Jared thinks Jensen is a girl everything would be awesome.

Acknowledgments/Thanks:

First of all I have to thank isarae who was my sounding board and alpha reader throughout this. She talked me down whenever I wanted to quit, read draft after draft and offered suggestions whenever I got stuck. I can honestly say this fic wouldn't even exist without her

Secondly thanks to kitty_poker1, hsapiens and kaylbunny who all did beta work in various different capacities and again stopped me freaking out too much when I convinced myself no one would want to read this.

And, of course, thanks to jord_el for creating the art to go with this fic

And finally thanks to all my friends on LJ and Twitter who put up with all my whining, angsting and flailing for the months it took me to to get to this point. You guys are awesome!

I'm so excited that people are losing sleep to read your fic because it's SO worth it. I'm sorry that they're sleep deprived, truly, but you deserve all the love that will be coming your way. I'm so excited that you have posted. *throws confetti*

I'm now off to ogle the artwork and upload the final copy to my Reader.

CONFETTI! IT'S A PARADE!

Thanks bb! You are amazing *hugs*

Damn, I wish I'd thought of that one. Obviously my brain isn't yet firing. I'm not the one who wrote this beauty. I'm happy to have a bit part in your success -- but it's all yours. ♥ ♥ ♥

Oh my god, babe. That was AMAZING. I couldn't read it fast enough, but at the same time I never ever wanted it to end. You should be RIDICULOUSLY proud, hon. You did an absolutely amazing job. ♥

Once I have slept-- and am a wee bit more coherent-- I am so reccing the hell out of this in j2_recs.

Wheeee! It's finally posted!!! I'm actually totally off to read this now (no, I never did read through the final copy you sent me...I just skimmed it for potential chapter breaks.)

And honestly? It was my pleasure!
