Gabriel’s Past
A Written Prequel for our Favorite Archangel/Trickster
Ok, let’s do this! Let’s all come together and put together an amazing backstory for Gabriel.
I don’t know how I did it, but I’m rolling up on 2400 followers! And let me just say that I love and appreciate all of you! So, I’ve decided to put together a writing challenge for the milestone. An anthology of Gabriel’s past from his time in Heaven up to when the Winchesters dropped in on him in Crawford Hall (Tall Tales).
If it’s possible, and you guys like the idea, I’d like to do this as a staggered release. The first person writes their chapter, and then the next person will start right up where the last one ended, and so on. Each chapter is influenced by the one that proceeded it. And this seems like a wonderful idea to fill in the time until October, and season 14 starts.
There are no plots you have to follow, and no word limits. Angst or fluff, hurt/comfort? Write it! The only thing to remember is the setting. I think that 15 chapters is a good amount to aim for, and I have divided them around where Gabriel spent his time.

I spent the whole weekend trying to think of prompts for each chapter, but I think that it will be better when you guys plot it out as we go. I don’t want to limit where this story can go by telling you what to write. I also want to keep this semi canon compliant, so Sam and Dean can’t come in until the last chapter, but other angels and pagan demigods could.
There will be a two week deadline for you to turn in your chapter so the next person can start working on the next chapter.
No beta’s are required, and again, no word limit, but please use the “Keep Reading” feature if you go more than 500 words. I know it doesn’t always work, but, you know. We can try.
If more people sign up, I’ll extend the chapters. So send me a message or an ask for which chapter you want!
When you finish with your chapter, tag me and #gabriels past writing challenge, and be sure to post with your chapter number so we can keep them in order. I’ll start a post with links to all the chapters, and hopefully we can reblog all the chapters together, one after the other.
So, again, if this is right up your alley, join in all the trickster fun! It’s all for the love of Gabriel.
Tagging anyone who showed interest in the last post about this and whoever else I can think of, which isn’t too many…

@maximumsuckage I didn’t add you 😖 and I figured this might be up your alley. I just filled the last pagan slot but I’d add one for you.
Remember, you have two weeks to write a chapter. I’ll make an extension if needed, though. Tag me and #gabriels past writing challenge when you complete your chapter.
If anyone would still like to get in on this, let me know where you wanna be and I’ll be happy to add you in.
