Couldn't find anywhere to put this, so I figured I'd stick it here. As I love limpfied Sam (and it seems you do, too), I thought I'd add some of my old med/police fic resources to the list.
Note, these aren't fan fic recommendations, they're research sites for fan fic writers.
A site specifically created to help fan fic writers with that pesky medical lingo. Very helpful:
http://www.geocities.com/aemarshall99/medlinks.html
The first aid index, for brother-healing-brother scenes:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/FirstAidIndex/FirstAidIndex
Ah, one of the Winchesters shot in the shoulder again? Here's a how-to for writers specifically dealing with that injury:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/First-Aid-995/Gun-Shot-Wound-Shoulder-2.htm
A teeny pet peeve of mine...this is a fireman's carry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireman's_carry
Everything you wanted to know (and a bunch you didn't) for writing about forensics:
http://www.crimeandclues.com/
A ton of links for police procedures, statistics on crimes and criminals...for research!Sammy and the long arm of the law:
http://www.refdesk.com/crime.html
Just thought I'd share. If this isn't the right place for it, feel free to move or delete it.
Now, more limp fic! Please?

Snopes, for all those creepy urban legends. Hookhand, Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn On The Light (aka People Can Lick Too) and other fun things!

This link was posted in a thread a while ago and I thought I'd move it here so it would be easier to find.
It's got a ton of info on the weapons used on the show. Also, a link to an interesting article on using rock salt in shotguns.

I haven't had a reason to read this thread before, but since I've just started my first SPN fic (Limp!Sam ahead *G*) I've started checking it out.
This is gold, I'm so glad it's here, I'm going to be using it a lot!

Here's a cool site to find straigh up hauntings around the country, and what the typical happenings are.
Note the amount that are in Lawrence. That is one haunted town.

Okay, I have NO idea if I'm posting this query in the right section, so feel absolutely free to tell me to move it/delete it etc.
I've been working on my first Supernatural fanfic for what feels like eons now, and while I have the bulk of it done, I am having issues with the ending and basic continuity. I was wondering if anyone had the time or the inclincation to beta/or just give general advice to a first time fanfic writer? I would really appreciate any help, as I'm just getting frustrated and tempted to delete the whole thing at the moment!
If it helps (at all) the story is set beginning of season two (aka back when the angst was more enjoyable, and less one sided) and is an AU which deals with the possibility that Jo had stuck around and compounded the communication issues between the brothers.
Really, as this rambling post would indicate, I would be eternally grateful for any help what so ever!

I'm just back from Kazcon and I did a panel on research. I made a document of resourses and thought I'd share. It's a PDF, but if you want it in some other form, just let me know.
It's attached to this message so it can be downloaded.
