skylar0grace: (Team Dawn (Sam/Dawn))
[personal profile] skylar0grace
My submission for the Crossover Ship Manifesto over at [livejournal.com profile] xoverland, a community I've just joined, for Team Dawn. GO TEAM DAWN!!! :D Below the cut are ten reasons why I ship the seemingly unpopular pairing of Sam/Dawn. It's a shame really. The unpopular-ness, not my reasons :P

Ten Reasons Why I Ship Sam/Dawn
(Apart from the fact that they're so cute together :P)

One – Both value the pursuit of knowledge as a means of defeating evil

Two – They both understand what it is like to be the younger/protected sibling

Three – Both have felt like they didn’t fit in, in their family

Four – They both had to grow up fast despite efforts by their family to keep their innocence

Five – They’ve both had a sibling literally die for them

Six – Both hardened after losing their family

Seven – But despite that, still retained some sense of childlike purity

Eight – Both have gone to great lengths to try to bring back a family member

Nine – They both were scared of who they really were

Ten – They both wanted a normal life but ended up accepting their roles


Now I know that there's not a whole lot of people out there that ship these two, and I can't really understand why, but I would like to give a shout out to some comms that allow us few to promote this AWESOME couple:

First of all, great picspam. Second of all, wheee, you've already done half the work for my manifesto, cause, I can just take 50% of yours and put the opposite and VOILA. LOL. (I'm doing Buffy/Dean, if that wasn't obvious already, hehe.)

Ooooh! I can't wait to see your manifesto. I'll never be converted but I love seeing things with my favourite rogue slayer :D And I'm glad you liked my reasons - I don't think there'll ever be too many :D

Yay for Sam/Dawn! I love them together! ♥

Thanks for mentioning 3 of my crossover communities! :-)

By the way, there is a Sam/Dawn community as well: [livejournal.com profile] samxdawn. Since you didn't mention it I guess you don't know it yet?

Anyway, awesome manifesto! If you want, feel free to crosspost or link to it in crossoverfans: http://community.livejournal.com/crossoverfans/6253.html ;-)

I added you as a friend by the way. Hope that's okay.

I ship Sam/Dawn really hard. If you can suggest me some fic recs I'd be eternally grateful. I've scanned FF.net and Twisting the Hellmouth but have only come up with one mostly complete story about them that I really liked.

Thanks for sharing the manifesto! It's very well done and accurate.

Sure! It IS hard to find fics for them. My absolute favourite has to be [livejournal.com profile] larilyn's A Typical Tuesday Night In November. I read it before I even found LJ and once I joined (which was a while later) I tracked it down and added it to memories so I'd always be able to link across. :D
