Author: lovesrain44
Story Rating: PG
Genre: Slash
Word Count: 47, 654
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Warnings: Angst, emo, h/c, incest, terrible weather, touristy local tidbits, and far too many descriptions about food.
Summary: Sam and Dean are on the road, saving people and hunting things, like they always do. Dean discovers that Sam is attempting to turn himself into a monk, and so he does his best to get Sam laid. Sam resists because, of course, who needs to have sex with a girl when Dean’s around? It's about going on a roadtrip with your brother. It's about the food you eat, and the maps you follow. It's about the things you carry with you. (Takes place some time after Heart.)

The Art:

My artist was radishface , however, there is no master art post. I put the art in my story to use as illustrations.

Then, I got a wild hair and created my own story banner:



And then I created this one, too, because one is never enough.

The problem with this PDF is that it's missing author and title metadata...I don't suppose you could update the fields? Um, I'm now thinking I should have made a PDF too along with the other formats. :) It's just I normally use my work computer to create PDFs because I have Adobe Acrobat Professional there where as at home it's more complex since I don't have the program.

*scratch head* I'm guessing you are talking about something beyond my technical understanding here. I don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional. The PDF is generated from Microsoft Word. I used the fic's banner image author provided as the cover page. The image itself contains the title and author info. The second page of the document also has the fic title and author listed as well as fic summary, disclaimer, etc., plus the TOC that shows the chapter pages as well as the original link which points back to the author's master post here.

But you are talking about something else here in regard to the metadata, aren't you? I truly have no idea how to add the missing fields, or else I'd be happy to make the necessary correction. If you can take the time to teach me, that will be great, and I'll make the update. If not, here's the DL for the original docx file I used to create the PDF. Sorry I can't be more assistance at this instant. *facepalm*

In Adobe Acrobat Professional you have to go to File - Document Properties - and in the Title/Author fields add the title and author. Otherwise I think it fills the file name into the title and there is no author listed or in this PDF example 2010. What happens is that if anyone were to load this to a Kindle for example they'd get 2010 as the author and Lovesrain44 as the title. It makes it a bit difficult to navigate at that point.

I had to find this out myself when I first started loading docs to portable devices so I'm more cautious about this. :)

I hope this explanation helped. And it's all cool. I had time to make a PDF tonight. Earlier this week I ran out of time and hadn't realized many people would prefer PDF otherwise I would have made one the next day.
