Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester
Summary:
Sam watched Dean hack up firewood with his hatchet. The magically-induced heat wave had his shirt soaked with sweat.
“Did you ever have a, uh… experimental phase?” Sam smacked his lips, trying to think of a diplomatic way to phrase it. “That kid—by which I mean you—has been staring. At me. Kind of a lot.”
(Sam and Dean get sent back to 1996 and go on a hunt with their teenaged selves. The kids don't know who they are.)

Subject Matter Disclaimer: This podfic contains adult material of a sexual and graphic nature. Listener discretion is advised, and be mindful of the tags. Feel free to hop out of the backseat if that’s not your thing. Dean won’t hold it against you. More than likely, he or Sam or some other SPN character or any number of character combinations will be too busy holding other things against others to give it a second thought. If you’ve buckled up and are ready for the drive, please check your Bluetooth connections and/or plug in those headphones before the engine starts.
By proceeding, you understand that Idling in the Impala is not responsible for any embarrassment, cringe, or adverse consequences that may occur as a result of the listener failing to conduct these checks.
Sam’s Supernatural Sexuality Spectrum
It’s taken the converging of two Supernatural podcasts, but Sandra and Kasey have finally done it. There’s a Sam-focused topic up for discussion on this episode! (Fear not, Dean lovers, the shorter brother gets plenty of attention, too.)
Supernatural Opinions Podcast hosts, KJ and Meredith, jumped into the IITI backseat for this chat. Sandra and Kasey have recorded two guest spots for Supernatural Opinions. They were fun and lively discussions. KJ, Meredith, and Kasey were basking in the collective glow of having people around to hold up the very heavy moose that is Sam Winchester. So, of course, they wanted to keep the Sam Love flowing.
Sam’s sexuality has been a topic Sandra and Kasey have visited and entertained. KJ and Meredith had their thoughts as well. Lucky listeners, you get to hear all about it in this episode!

(Gently) Taking Authors To Task - runawaydr3amer’s Sandman ‘verse
Excerpt from runawaydr3amer’s notes on Sandman:
“This whole thing is kinky and explicit AF. It's got a good whack of angst, especially at the start, but if you take a chance on me, I promise it's also schmoopy as all get-out. Despite the somewhat alarming tags, please note that I only write happy endings.
If you don't like men showing emotions in response to trauma, this is not the right place for you.”
This doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the Wincest epic that is the Sandman ‘verse. And it’s obvious many readers like men showing emotions in response to trauma—the series, which began in 2022 and was completed in 2023, currently has well over 30,000 hits and almost 1,000 kudos on AO3!
Sandra and Kasey talked to Dreamer about everything they could think of about this story: from inspiration to the writing and beta process and posting decisions when you’ve got a 311,000 word-count baby you want to share with the Supernatural FanFic world. It’s a lot! You’re gonna want to get comfy with a beverage for this one!
The Lights, Camera, Action! Fic by angelszn (artbabe) that inspired Sandman.

Dean Winchester/Reader
Summary:
Dean Winchester is the cocky, but well-respected Lieutenant at Firehouse 25. He leads by example, but he’s also known to break a few hearts. He’s starting to crave something he’s never had, though. Something stable. Something real.
That’s when he meets you, on a truly terrible day, trapped in a rickety old elevator.
Enjoy a Blast from the Past during Spring Break (Outtakes)
No toes in the sand for Kasey or Sandra, but they are taking a holiday break from recording. So, Sandra compiled some outtakes from back in early 2023. Enjoy a blast from the past!

Ramble On - Tell Me What's Wrong
Podfic Time – “Tell Me What’s Wrong” by ArthursKnight
Thanks to Arthur (ArthursKnight) for suggesting this rare pair fic — Ketch/Dean — of his to narrate. It’s a short little Omegaverse story with Omega!Dean and Alpha!Ketch. I ask that anyone who listens suspends their disbelief when you hear me as Ketch. I tried to go for more of the character tone than imitation (I am not the best at accents). My narration is merely an inspirational interpretation.
Please visit the fic (and all of Arthur’s work) on AO3 and give it a kudo and comment - it deserves a ton of praise!

Kasey wanted all the details on Sandra’s foray into the wild world of writing challenges in 2023. There was a lot of banging and a lot of filling. Not really. Sandra’s writing was pretty tame for her fic creations. They did have one thing in common, though. You’ll never guess.

Mr. Sandman, Bring Me A Dreamer - Interview with runawaydr3amer, SPN FanFic Author
Kasey and Sandra are thrilled to share this lively conversation with a Wincest author who has run away with their collective hearts (and numerous marriage proposals). Known as runawaydr3amer, this former LiveJournal fic poster bestowed AO3 users with the gift of her older fics in 2022. Then, in 2023, she completed the legitimate epic that is the Sandman ‘verse. Dreamer is an amazing author who can provide details and nuances in every single ounce of angst and pining and fluff and smut when it comes to Sam and Dean.
Okay, so this interview took about three attempts to get recorded. Life and time zones continued to throw a spanner in the works. Over the course of those months, Kasey also had a name change (explained in the intro). But by Chuck, Kasey and Sandra were finally able to complete this fun and insightful chat with Dreamer. But don’t think they’re done yet. There’ll be a Gently Taking Authors To Task episode with Dreamer focusing on the Sandman ‘verse in the near future!
You can find all of runawaydr3amer’s works here on AO3.

Sandra and Kasey were enthralled (and at some points verging on violence) with the SPN conventions stories regaled by their guest, Jessica. Seriously, this talented artist has some awesome convention mojo regarding J2 interactions. Call it “The Jessica Effect.” They talked about CharlotteCon, HawaiiCon, the Pride art Jessica created for the podcast, and all the Jessica/Jared moments that stirred up some thoughts from Kasey.

“Sam Tops, Dean Bottoms” - How characterization, cinematic framing, and sexuality collide on Supernatural
Happy Unattached Drifter Christmas!
Sandra came across an amazing article by user frozen-delight on tumblr, with a theory that Dean is portrayed as the Female Other on Supernatural. After hearing about it, Kasey was fully on board to discuss it. Since a good portion of the article focused on sex scenes, well, you can guess where a large majority of the conversation was spent. You’re welcome!

Podfic Time – “Together We Are The Storm” by WinchesterWytch
Thanks to Kym (WinchesterWytch) for permission to narrate this electrifying Dean x Reader fic. The tension and the passion were off the charts in this story. I adored the reader telling Dean everything he deserved to hear towards the end.
Please visit the fic (and all of Kym’s work) on AO3 and give it a kudo and comment - it deserves a ton of praise!

Feel free to hop out of the backseat if that’s not your thing. Dean won’t hold it against you. More than likely, he or Sam or some other SPN character or any number of character combinations will be too busy holding other things against others to give it a second thought.

“It was supposed to be a one shot.” - Interview with Kym, SPN FanFic Author
Sandra and Karlee were put under a magic spell for this FanFic author interview. Known as WinchesterWytch on AO3, Kym has been posting Dean/Reader and Dean/OFC fics (AKA Dean Winchester’s Witch on tumblr) since 2019.
Self-proclaimed Dean Girl, Kym is also the creator and mod of Jacklesverse Bingo. Kym took the time to break all the bingo stuff down as well during the chat.
Want to learn more about Jacklesverse Bingo and participate? There's a second round open through mid-February, or you can get a card as a reader. You can find all the details here on tumblr.

Summary:
Sam watched Dean hack up firewood with his hatchet. The magically-induced heat wave had his shirt soaked with sweat.
“Did you ever have a, uh… experimental phase?” Sam smacked his lips, trying to think of a diplomatic way to phrase it. “That kid—by which I mean you—has been staring. At me. Kind of a lot.”
(Sam and Dean get sent back to 1996 and go on a hunt with their teenaged selves. The kids don't know who they are.)

Ramble On - Unless I Can't Resist, Part Two
Podfic Time – “Unless I Can’t Resist - Part Two” by runawaydr3amer
Ah! It’s here. It’s done! Finally! Oh, I hope I did this justice.
This is Part Four of a four-part series by the awesomely talented runawaydr3amer. Unless I Can’t Resist is the beefiest (smirk) part of the series; so much so, that it’s a two-parter. Lots of smut and angst and feels. As I’ve stated often, Dreamer’s take on Sam’s internal struggles and his coming to terms with his feelings for Dean will always stick with me long after I read this series.

Amy’s been posting fics on AO3 since 2011 and has a library of over 200 stories. She primarily writes RPF and Wincest, occasionally dabbling into other pairings. She’s responsible for a ton of wish fulfillment regarding her prompt stories. According to Karlee, Amy’s also responsible for a lot of fanfic blue balls. Have a listen to this great discussion on writing fanfic and the supportive community of creativity it can create.

Fact Versus Fiction - Consent
Today’s topic is a bit heavier: Consent. What is it? What are the ways it’s given to a sexual partner, and what are some common misconceptions?
Trigger warning - we’ll be discussing sexual assault and non-con. If you think this is something you cannot listen to, take care of you, click off and we will see you next time.
Disclaimer - This topic instructor gets very passionate about the topic. Some squeak and ick in the discussion may be uncomfortable for listeners. The discussion is meant for entertainment and fanfic writing purposes only.
You can check out Karlee’s class materials here.

Nope, Sandra and Karlee just can’t keep well enough alone when it comes to their thoughts on each other’s favorite iterations of Sam and Dean.
They’ve swapped lists for this episode. Karlee ranks Sandra’s Fave Deans, and Sandra ranks Karlee’s Fave Sams.
Listen to see if there are any surprises. We can share no podcast co-host was harmed in the making of this episode.

Ramble On - Pine Sweat (Want - Chapter 3)
Podfic Time – “Pine sweat (WANT)” by applecrumbledore

Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester
Summary:
Sam watched Dean hack up firewood with his hatchet. The magically-induced heat wave had his shirt soaked with sweat.
“Did you ever have a, uh… experimental phase?” Sam smacked his lips, trying to think of a diplomatic way to phrase it. “That kid—by which I mean you—has been staring. At me. Kind of a lot.”
(Sam and Dean get sent back to 1996 and go on a hunt with their teenaged selves. The kids don't know who they are.)
Happy Every Day of the Week for the Winchesters! - Mint Condition Rewatch/Discussion
Happy Halloween to everyone but Sam, who does not enjoy or participate in celebrating. Dean, however, will be lining up for the tricks and treats.
Karlee and Sandra decided to rewatch “Mint Condition” and discuss all the greatness of this Halloween-themed episode.
Mentions/Reference: Batman and Robin scene - Only Fools and Horses
Enjoy!

AO3 Tips and Tricks - Part Two
Sandra and Karlee discussed their fanfic journey some weeks back. That led them to want to delve into AO3 and provide some tips and tricks they’ve learned over the years as users. Lucky you - they made a video. Maybe lucky you - they had to break the episode into two parts because there was so much to discuss.

Gone to DC Con, Be Back Soon - Enjoy Some Outtakes
Don’t mind Sandra’s scatterbrained intro and inability to schedule episodes properly. When this episode drops, Sandra is preparing to leave for the Creation Con in DC in a couple of days.
Will you be attending the con? She’ll be wearing some Idling merch, so she should be relatively easy to spot. If you are a podcast listener, stop her and say hello. Her introverted self will open up (even if she’s masked up)!
Enjoy some outtakes while Karlee gets saddled with holding down the podcast fort.

Taking Authors To Task - Self-Inflicted Word Count Challenge
Sandra’s been doing this thing lately with her fanfic writing. She’ll get an idea for a one-shot, but before you know it, the story has gotten all plotty, and the word count has run wild. So, Karlee gave her a challenge. Write a one-shot, one-scene, and keep it under 3K. But Karlee, the ever-loving friend that they are, agreed to have a go with the challenge as well. Then, Karlee’s beta, runawaydr3amer, provided a prompt, all agreed on the terms… and now here they are to talk about the fallout… um, fruits of their labor.
This is the episode for you if you are a fellow angsty writer who likes to punish themselves. If you are a fellow reader who wants to hear about a writer’s angst and self-punishment in pursuit of a completed work, this is the episode for you. And, yeah, they may have given themselves a short word count, but nobody said anything about keeping this episode at a respectable length.
The Fics (Wincest - yes, you read that right, they are both Wincest - NSFW):
- Reach Out And Touch Someone (Sandra)
- Take Me Higher Than I’ve Ever Been (Karlee)

SPN Masquerade - Explore Your Kinky Side!
Have you been curious about Prompt Memes? Especially the kinky ones? Sandra and Karlee came across SPN Masquerade’s Sultry Summer Swing and had to find out more. Two of the SPN Masquerade moderators, Amy and Ash, graciously came on for a chat about kinky prompts. The SPN Masquerade has been around for a while. They create a safe online inclusive space without fear of shame and promote exploring your kinky, creative side under a mask of anonymity. An excellent discussion was had about fanfiction, fandom, and paramount questions like everyone’s stance on Jensen’s mustache debut at NCcon.
Find out more about SPN Masquerade and contact the mods with any questions on tumblr.
