She is perhaps best known for two of her [[Supernatural and J-Squared Big Bang Challenge!|Supernatural Big Bang]] stories: [[Do I Seem Bulletproof To You?]]<ref>"[[Do I Seem Bulletproof To You?]]" won an [http://spn-award.livejournal.com/tag/the%20winners!2010 SPN Award] for 'Best RPS Big Bang."</ref> and [[The Incestuous Courtship of the Antichrist's Bride]]. Both stories illustrate her wide range in subject matter and tone. | |||
[[Do I Seem Bulletproof To You?|Do I Seem Bulletproof]] is a [[J2]] [[RPS]] [[AU]] which has [[Jared Padalecki|Jared]] taking a job as driver and bodyguard to [[Jensen Ackles|Jensen]], who is an extremely expensive prostitute with a bad habit of attracting crazy people. The story's themes weigh heavily towards drug abuse, self-worth, love and betrayal. | |||
[[The Incestuous Courtship]] is a humorous tongue in cheek [[Wincest]] tale of [[Sam Winchester]] accepting his role (reluctantly) as the Anti-Christ. In doing so, he inadvertently signs up his brother [[Dean Winchester|Dean]] to be his consort/bride. Match-making angels and demons, ritualistic sex on altars and drunk dialing phone calls to Satan are some of the more popular plot-points from the story. | |||
Other popular and often recommended stories include [[J2]] spy [[AU]] [[Someone You Might Have Been]]<ref>The story has been partially translated into Russsian [http://www.liveinternet.ru/community/spnslashstories/post106122285/ here], accessed November 11, 2011 and Chinese [http://payaki.blog.163.com/blog/static/3326270720094505854647/ here]. Numerous other stories by fleshflutter have been - or are in process - being translated into Russian. More [http://www.crossroad-blues.net/other/fandom/translations.php here]; [http://www.webcitation.org/638IGvOZI WebCite].</ref> and the unfinished [[WIP]] [[J2]] [[AU]] [[Rule 26]], and [[Sam/Dean]] fic [[The Firefly That Loved Metallica]]. | |||

In 2008, | In 2008, Fleshflutter participated in "Ask The Author" at the [[spnroundtable]] and talked about her interest in in [[Supernatural]] and her writing: {{Quotation|I came into SPN fandom in May 2007, just after watching Wendigo for the first time. Previous fandom history includes [[Harry Potter]], [[Final Fantasy VII]], [[Star Wars]], and [[Neverwinter Nights]]. Both my older sister and older brother wrote, though not fanfiction, and both were into genre tv shows, [[rpgs]], dungeons and dragons and all related geekery, so I feel like I've been standing on the edge of fandom since I was tiny. | ||
I watched the SPN pilot when it was first aired on UK television and dismissed it as pretty dreadful. I gave it a second go a few months later and it was transformed in my eyes. I latched on to SPN as my new fandom very quickly, though it took me a while to get into the right headspace to write any fanfic for it. But I devoured every bit of fanfic I could find and found myself hooked in about a week or so. | I watched the SPN pilot when it was first aired on UK television and dismissed it as pretty dreadful.
