fandomyaye!

I have spent the last three hours looking for and then through Rhode Island death records and old newspaper obituaries for my fic. Do I win something? I love writing for this fandom, oh man.

So, in that vein, I have a few things to ask! Does anyone have a clear picture of Sam or Dean's actual handwriting? Also, anyone out there who's an American folklore buff, do you remember anything about the Mercy Brown legend? I have a book that talks about it and I know some myself, but I'm curious if there's more to it. And the Babcock-Smith house! I'm friends with the caretaker of that place, but she mostly thinks the paranormal is rubbish, so she wouldn't talk to me about its history. Do you know if there's any lore about it?

ONE LAST THING, I promise: what are considered to be witches' powers? Clearly there's the stereotypical flying on a broom and brewing newts eyes in a cauldron, but in actuality? I read about something involving sticking a knife in the wall and milking someone else's cow, though, um. Yeah. Cows?

Haaalp, pls. *grabby hands* Oh, and a teaser for your troubles:

“I don’t like this, Sam,” Dean hisses quietly, as soon as they round the corner. “What if she’s the one who sent that note? We shouldn’t be here.”

Sam bumps his shoulder against Dean’s, comfortingly, when they reach the table and sit down. “I don’t like it either, but we have to know what’s going on, right? If she has answers for us, this is important. Plus, you’ve got a gun sticking down the back of your pants.”

“True,” Dean allows. Their legs jostle under the small table for room. “Do you think she – God, you are seriously huge, Samsquatch. Move your freaking feet.”

“Screw you.” Sam tries to curl his legs up under his seat and nearly falls off the chair. Eventually, though, he manages to find a position that doesn’t make him look like a lunatic linebacker.

I knew an odd story about where witches broomsticks were supposed to come in, something about them er, using them to clean their, er, noonies after having naughty sex with someone they shouldn't.

I dunno where I found that little snippet of information, but I did see it somewhere.

That's about all I can help you with. :0P

*nuzzle* I think I've got it figured. Sort of. Um. A little. I spent most of the evening making icons.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA YOUR ICON IS SO APPROPRIATE.

Heh! Well, it was something along those lines. That's why witches ride broomsticks. They're not riding them, they're being gross on them. Then people'd be like, "SHE HAD NAUGHTY SEX, BURN HER BURN HER NOOOOOWWWW."

"What also floats?"
"A duck!"
"Right! So -"
"If she weighs the same as a duck, she must be a witch."
"It's a fair cop..."
