The Ship that lost its Soul - Part 1 of 3

The Ship that lost its Soul

                                                                                                     
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and place and reverberation
T.S Eliot – The Wasteland

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Emily Bronte

The Ship that lost its Soul - Sammy BB masterpost

Title: The Ship that Lost its Soul
Words: ~19600
Rating: R (mainly for swearing)
Pairings: Gen
Summary: Set in another universe where humanity is spread across the galaxy, the Winchesters roam far and wide in the American galaxy, hunting monsters in their spaceship, the Impala. Then Sam sacrificed himself in order to stop the apocalypse, steering Lucifer’s vessel into a black hole known as the Cage. Dean thinks Sam is lost to him forever, so it’s a mystery to be solved when Dean receives Sam’s frozen body in the post. Obviously Dean’s first priority is to unfreeze Sam, but nothing is ever that simple for the Winchesters.

For the 2017 sammybigbang. Big thanks go to my artist azziria for the lovely and perfectly appropriate art! You can check out the full set here – go and leave her all the love, because, like Sam, it's worth it.
And thanks also to my beta, jj1564 for the cheerleading as well as feedback and help spotting errors, and to excoyote who helped me out in early drafts! Any remaining cock ups are all mine.

For any aspiring authors looking to get published

This might be of interest/useful. I'm not entirely convinced myself, and definitely don't think i'm the kind of writer they are looking for (seeing that I lack the energy they are talking about, and the will to self promote). But I thought this approach might suit some of my flisties.

NB - amended to point to dear_tiger's comments below as a buyer-beware type warning...

Gary Lindberg February 9, 2017

Calumet Editions is always interested in publishing partnerships with authors who have been put out of print, and those who have had perennial “near misses” with books lauded by their agents.

We understand how irrational and sometimes ‘cut-throat’ the publishing industry can be. That’s why Lindberg & Leask started Calumet Editions. We do not cut throats. We are here to help authors develop their brands and build a readership for their books.

If you have a terrific product but publishers have cited those sad old rejection excuses—you know the ones: “there are too many like it in the market,” or “there aren’t enough like it in the market”—the good news is that near misses or books going out of print do not doom you to self-publishing. Instead, you can talk to us. And so can your agent.
