SPN_XX: The women of Supernatural

Thanks to all who have taken part in the Women of Supernatural Gen Flashfic Challenge. We really appreciate all the fabulous stories that have been written for it!

Prompt wise, we are going on a hiatus. This doesn't mean the challenge is closed - please continue to write for all the old prompts and indeed, to write any gen stories based on the POV of a female character.

Please remember also that this community isn't just limited to the WOS Gen Flashfic Challenge. Fic of all genres and ratings featuring a central female character are welcome, so have at those too!

We look forward to reading your further stories!

SPOILER WARNING FOR 4x03.

You know what makes us sad? There are prompts in the flashfic challenge with no stories. *woeface* Imagine all those lonesome prompts.

BONUS CHALLENGE: write to one of the prior prompts. Don't worry if it already has a story or not -- the idea is to get more stories on the older prompts (if you want to poke through the comm to check if an older prompt you like has stories, feel free, but don't sweat it).
