| Now is unearthed |
[Jul. 17th, 2009|02:12 pm] |
Feeling marginally more human today. I think I'm still only functioning at 67% but since that's over 50 I think I'm doing well.
I'm having a bizarrely busy July/August. I just looked at the calendar I started keeping (because I kept double-booking myself argh!) and I've got stuff written in for every weekend up to September! I'm not sure how this happened because usually I'm the person who's noodling around on a Friday night at about 6PM seeing if anyone wants to do stuff.
( Boring stuff about weight loss and the clothes I wear now )
I'm in an AU mood at the moment. My next ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) spnroundtable rec list is going to be ultra alternate universe stories so if anyone has any favourites let me know. I'm enjoying this guest reccing thing immensley and I love that community. If you aren't a member go check it out.
Also writing the Lorne/Novak snippet has made me miss writing them. I might have to think about knocking something out about them. Possibly not the 'verse I've already been writing because I kinda feel like writing about the beginning of a relationship.
I also keep circling back to my Jack/Daniel, Daniel/Cameron idea because I miss my SG-1. I know people are kinda falling out of the fandom as it goes more and more dormant but y'know... I still love it. It was my first fandom and it's hard letting go.
I love ficlets by request because I often write what I haven't in a long time and then remember why I loved it.
ETA: Okay, I hope no one saw that word I mispelled. Good lord, being a writer and spelling it writting. Hahahaa... |

Bleargh.
That sums up my last week or so. I was doing well, avoiding the black lung flu that had infested my office and brought down about 2/3 of the staff but being surrounded, my body finally relented, threw up its hands and said no more!
In short, being in a closed environment with a bunch of sick people who insist on coming into said enclosed environment to spread their plague makes you sick.
I haven't been able to do much of anything. I'm back at work but I've basically felt the same for the past three days, which is better than the three days before that but only marginally. I'm still waiting to feel human again.
I'm woefully behind on where I wanted to be for my spn_summergen story but I just haven't felt like doing much of anything for a week. If Big Bang told me anything though, it was that I could write 10k in about 3 days so I should be okay. I just need to wedge some writing into my pretty already chock-full weekend.
I just realised I didn't repost the second half of my request fics so I'll try and get that done at some point today... |

From everyone on my flist and I don't know if anyone would be interested...:
Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something tiny (e.g. "and then Fay chose silver glitter instead of gold") or big (e.g. "and then Rose was arrested instead of Jack") and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story. |

-- Completed fic --
Dorsum Ad Dorsum - spn_j2_bigbang fic - Gen, Mary lives but it's not the happy alternate universe that Dean envisioned for himself.
I'm Not Touching You - SPN, Gen.
-- In Progress --
1. Sweet Charity fic - SGA, AU, John/Rodney, Ronon.
Progress: I've actually worked on this. Not alot but there is definite progress!
( Snippet )
2. Keptverse fic - Jared/Justin Long, reference to Jensen/Jeff
Status: Still going.
( Snippet )
3. spn_summergen fic.
Status: Working, but since this is an anonymous exchange, there's no hints... :)
4. Small Town Cops SPN AU
Status: A little progress but not enough to make me happy.
-- Future Projects --
Again with the wishlist... it hasn't changed much.
1. Keptverse fic - RPS, Milo/Adrian. Prequel to And Paid For.
2. Something SGA John/Rodney 'cause I've got an undefined itch for it.
3. A followup to Do Winchesters Dream Of Electric Impalas.
4. The Mary lives fic I was going to write for Big Bang. The story I ended up with isn't what I initially started. I want to write the story where all four Winchesters stay together or at least try to. |

- I'm a reccer for spnroundtable this month but my problem isn't getting stories to rec, it's narrowing it down and deciding what I want to rec first. Heh. I need to categorise the big mess of links I've been keeping.
- Work is progressing slowly for my spn_summergen fic. However, it's pretty cool when *just* when the Big Bang fics will trickle off these ones will start posting. We're pretty spoiled as a fandom for these few months.
- I'm feeling a wee bit nostalgic. Give me some five!things fic prompts if you're so inclined. My boss is away so I need something to fill the day up with. |

It always awes and humbles me when people take something you wrote and make something else, like reading the fic is not just enough but that it inspires something else. I've had quite a lot of art made for my fic and some stories written based on it and I cherish every single piece.
Then there's the people who do something wholly just plain nice for you. I feel especially blessed with the people on my flist and those that lurk at the edges and those that drop by just to say hi every once in a while. I like the community feel, the giving just for the sake of giving.
Here is another example of that. The lovely ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) too_rational has made a PDF of the combined Doll!Dean fics that includes the wonderful and adorable art by muffinmuff and johanirae. With permission from the creator and the artists I'm offering it up to everyone because it's just too cute. :D
Doll!Verse PDF
I hope anyone that enjoyed the Doll!Dean fics will enjoy this. |

I think this is slightly different to the one I've seen around...
List 10 platonic relationships on TV/Movies that you enjoy.
Rules:
1. They interact in canon, preferably in a significant (apply your own interpretation of such) way.
2. They are not related. They can, however, view each other as surrogate family.
3. Neither has confessed or implied romantic love for the other in canon.
4. They have not dated, been married, had sex, or made out in canon, on purpose, and of their own free will.
5. A popular fanon ship is ok (though preferably not your ship) but a canon pairing you wish were just friends is out.
6. Try to avoid using the same character or series twice.
( Boys and girls and boys and boys and girls and girls ) |

| Things to be done - Cause I never manage to get a To-Do list done so maybe a to-done list will work |
[Jun. 22nd, 2009|08:12 am] |
- Fic Rec lists. I now have an unbelievably long list of fics to rec so I'm going to go through it, try and make some kind of grouping and start posting them.
- Reposting fic on this journal - because there's some fic I've written that I never posted on here that was singly posted on either comms or ff.net. All of my Supernatural stuff is here, I'm talking Atlantis and Stargate fic. Watch out for upcoming 'from the archives' posts.
- Get my Dreamwidth up to date. What mystifies me is why Dreamwidth is blocked from my work but other than every now and again being mysteriously but only temporarily blocked, Livejournal remains open. I'm thinking some big wig in my company has an LJ and complains everytime security blocks the site. heh.
- Sweet Charity and spn_summergen fic. I want to get these knocked over so I won't feel guilty re-immersing myself in my WIP folders. I'm thinking I should sign up to pitch-hit for summergen because some of my best work has been written under pressure or under a few hours. My two favourite stories ever A World Of His Own Making and Snuffleupagus were written in a little over an hour.
- Master Lists to be updated. I really need to update them as I post stories but it never works out that way.
- My new laptop is still in its box. That's just a travesty. I continue to use the laptop that has no battery life and shocks me because I am LAZY with a capitol AZY. |

[Jun. 18th, 2009|12:45 pm] |
I think I need a brain!break. My muse is writing black poetry on black paper with a black pen (with pink feathers because she's still my lovely, legwarmer-wearing bubblehead) but I think my angst bone broke and I need to fix it before Summergen because I think my requestor wants a serious story (which may not happen anyway because I've had ideas...).
So, I'm taking ficlets by request to clear the pipes (dirty!!). No guarentees per usual because I'm crap but give me a:
- Prompt of a crack!fic or
- Prompt of something I wouldn't normally write or
- Prompt of a missing scene from something I've already written or
- Prompt of another POV of something I've already written or
- A combination of all of the above |

A wee bit late... I just realised I hadn't done one of these for May.
-- Completed fic --
Two Men Walk Into An Intergalactic Substation - SPN/STRB (Sam/Bones)
And All Things Nice - SPN, Gen.
-- In Progress --
1. Sweet Charity fic - SGA, AU, John/Rodney, Ronon.
Progress: None - but I read through what I've written so far and am actually now keen to get this done because John and Rodney were being such schmoos in the last section I wrote.
2. Keptverse fic - Jared/Justin Long, reference to Jensen/Jeff
Status: I'm having way too much fun with Chad (who doesn't?) and now I'm tempted to introduce Misha into this story... But then I might be being greedy because I've already claimed Neil Patrick Harris as my own.
3. spn_summergen fic.
Status: In an astounding lack of procrastination, I've actually already started this.
4. Small Town Cops SPN AU
Status: Stalled but I really want to get this thing done.
-- Future Projects --
Let's just be honest and call this my wishlist...
1. Keptverse fic - RPS, Milo/Adrian. Prequel to And Paid For.
2. Something SGA John/Rodney 'cause I've got an undefined itch for it.
3. A followup to Do Winchesters Dream Of Electric Impalas.
4. The Mary lives fic I was going to write for Big Bang. The story I ended up with isn't what I initially started. I want to write the story where all four Winchesters stay together or at least try to. |

Firstly, thank you for all the sweet as pie messages and birthday shout-outs. I feel very blessed having such a lovely circle of people. Especially, check out His Heart's Desire by deirdre_c.
Secondly, I feel amazingly blown away by the response to Dorsum Ad Dorsum. I just want to say thanks to those that took the time to comment and those that took the time to read and those that were far beyond lovely and recced. It was my first completed Big Bang so you were brave. *smiles*
Thirdly,
If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
Believe me, it's more.
I'm just feeling overfull of love today. |
