You're right, I just need to compensate with fluff to assuage the muse guilt. XD Which characters do you RP with the most?
I think my fascination with angels has a lot to do with sitting in church when I was younger and trying to find ways to amuse myself. I was that kid who wrote horror stories, read Goosebumps and gothic literature, was more interested in big bangs, big drama, so rather than disciples, apostles, kings and soldiers, the angels were a more appealing focus. I was reading Revelations when I was supposed to be reading the four gospels. Then I saw films like The Prophecy, which made them relatable, but still more than human. They were tragic, willful, but loyal and capable of great and/or terrible things. But they still hurt like us and they had failings. They could have been any kind of empowered creature, but because they were angels and I had that earlier association, that reverence that was ingrained from an early age for God, Heaven and the Trinity, I was fascinated.
You have no idea how long it took me to work up the nerve to write about Lucifer (I had nightmares). XD Now, I'm like, hey, they're all fiction anyway! The angels I write about are not the angels I grew up reading about. These angels are specific inventions of SPN with their own rules, quirks, and hang-ups; they're a broken family and I *love* writing about families.
