Nope - I still follow the newsletter and as of even the most recent edition, Dean/Cas is listed as "other slash."

That's interesting though that you think that there's been more Dean/Cas fic than Sam/Dean. I'm relatively new to this fandom (since about 2011 or so) and I always wonder about people who say that Dean/Cas is just a vocal minority, and vice versa. Idk, fandom dynamics/history like that intrigue me.

Thanks for the info, though. None of that is really surprising, and I wondered why there was a separate Dean/Cas-only newsletter. That makes sense now.

ayrt

That's funny. The thing is, I'm not a D/C shipper and at the time this was all going down, I was adamantly in favor of a D/C subsection because I was sick of having to read through all the D/C titles when I was looking for non-D/C stories in Other Slash. I'm not as bothered by D/C these days but I'm also not subscribed to the newsletter either. XD

As for which has more, Sam/Dean or Dean/Cas, I think Sam/Dean probably still has more in terms of overall volume but that Dean/Cas likely has more in terms of output. It did for a very long time, anyway. Maybe that's switched and there's more Sam/Dean than Dean/Cas these days but I kinda doubt it. Sam/Dean has a much bigger representation in things like the SPNJ2BB but there's a lot more Dean/Cas than Sam/Dean on AO3 and that feels like where most fic is being posted these days.

Dean/Cas fans definitely aren't a vocal minority. I'd argue that people who like Sam, Dean, and Cas outweigh those who only like two of the three and hate the third. It depends on where you're active in fandom though as well, I guess. There are far more D/C fans on Tumblr it seems but there's still a sizable LJ presence for S/D. Overall though I'd guess that both shipping camps have roughly similar numbers, though both are always losing people and gaining new fans.
