From the very beginning of this series, I always had a pretty clear idea in my head where it was going. It was an attempt to pick and choose the bits of Season 4 that I most liked, and to ignore the bits I didn't – which of course, didn't work out too well. The show kinda comes as a whole, and while I had always anticipated this becoming more and more of an AU, I didn't expect it to diverge quite so much! It was pretty tricky, trying to balance the way Sam and Deans' relationship was going when this series didn't have the same trials for them that cannon did – chief amongst those being the fight for the seals and Sam's addiction. The seals and that part of the war do appear in this 'verse, but they ended up being far less important than the fight for the boys to overcome the impact of the Revenants and the Ghede and Sam's own increasing abilities.
I do have one final story planned in this series, concluding the arc and dealing with the Ghedes' plans and the problems Sam and Dean have faced so far but it's likely to be a while in coming. I'm planning (currently – I make no promises to this actually happening!) to deal a little more with what Sam's facing; the series to date has been heavily Dean-centric and I'd like to even things up.
Hope to see you there, and thank you for listening to me blathering on!
