Author:  space_raider182 
Reader:  cookiemom6067 
Fandom:  Supernatural
Pairing:  Sam/Dean
Warnings:  wincest, alcoholism, child neglect/abuse
Rating:  R for language, angst, sexual situations, weecest dialogue

Summary:  Dean's got a fast car. Sam's always had a plan to get them out of here.
An AU look at the boys growing up in the Impala

Reader's Notes:  Tracy Chapman's Fast Car is a haunting song, not only for its ubiquitous guitar strain throughout, but also for the glimpse into the life of the narrator, the child of an alcoholic, who feels trapped in a situation until she meets someone with a fast car.  I have always loved the song for those reasons, but had not applied any of the lyrics to the Winchesters.  space_raider182  not only applied it, and applied it well, but wrote an equally haunting story to go with it.  I am grateful to the author for the opportunity to record this lovely, atmospheric piece.

Wonderful (and you're right about the song--I bought the album when it first came out). I'll get on this asap. :-)

Well, while we're on the subject - ahem!

I want to post a corrected part of Woobie part I and also someone pointed out an error in Fast Car. What is the best way to go about getting the "right" versions out there?

Also, what are the requirements (dimensions, tags, etc) that are needed to do a cover? The artist that is working with me on one of my upcoming podfics has never done one, although she's done tons of banners and so forth.

Just upload the correct version and change the URL in your post with a note about it. I'll pick it up and recompile and upload the podbook and correct the archive versions. Also post a new entry indicating the changes so people will know to redownload.

I personally prefer square covers as they look best in iTunes and the text is most visible. To fill the art area completely, 3 in X 3 in at 72dpi is good. The only tag I use for covers is the artist's name (Cover Artist) under the Composer tag in iTunes Everyone does tagging their own way, though.

Now that I have had a chance to listen... I must say that I really enjoyed the use of the song in the story! It was nicely read not rushed... You did a great job
