I haven't been emailing you lately because mostly I've just been closing out of the stories I don't like in the first chapter or two, so I don't even have enough info for snark. (Though--that Parkour one? It's a J2 college AU, I forget the title. But you *know* a college fic that starts out by speculating a college prof could GROUND his students is going to be laughable, and not in a good way).
It's true that a lot of these stories end abruptly--I assume because the author ran out of time. On the other hand, there are some stories that are 100,000 words that could easily be 20,000 without losing anything.
I'm not sure I'm your best source for WIncest recs. So many of the summaries from the Wincest stories this year have turned me off (usually by suggesting they're big angstfests) that I haven't been reading a lot of them. E.g. that one where Sam takes a vow of silence--my thoughts were (a) kroki_refur already did that so well; why would anyone try to do better? and (b)too angsty, DNW! I'm kind of a wimp about Sam and Dean sometime--if I don't know for sure there's a happy ending, I don't want to read it.
I was also struck by the ending of Dictionary for a Dead Language--that was not where I was expecting it to go, honestly. (And isn't it more dangerous for Sam to run a bar? I mean, constant strangers always in danger of recognizing him?)
