Ask the Mods and FAQ

Your friendly neighbourhood mod is back!

This is eventually going to be an FAQ post. Only, as of right now, there aren't any FAQs. So go ahead and ask questions, and we will do our best to answer them. We will then compile the likely-looking questions into an FAQ, and continue answering the others as they crop up.

Have at it!

It's a tricky balance, is the short answer. I don't read all the fics posted, I will confess, trusting to members to use their judgement when posting. If the fic has hurt!Dean, then for it to count here I would expect the story to focus mainly on Sam and his emotional turmoil rather than on Dean's injuries/illness. I'm not at home now so you're getting a brief response, but I'll be happy to discuss this at greater length with you a little later.

Thanks for replying. Yeah that is a tricky balance. Unfortunately, I don't think some of the writers get it. If a fic is written specifically for a Dean h/c challenge, I am just not sure how it would satisfy a OhSam reader - but I could be wrong and everyone reads for different reasons :) Again, thanks for the response! I just get a bit protective of Sam in light of all the hurtDean out there. Poor kiddo :)
