I'm done!!!! :D
Just getting this finished under the challenge deadline. Phew! :P
Keep in mind I haven't done a fanfic in a while AND this is my first ever fanfic for a challenge. *hides* I hope I did alright. I hope it qualifies as schmoop. *hopes*

( This way to brotherly cuddling... )

Not sure who'll be interested in this, just thought I'd post about it for general knowledge purposes.

( All the info this way... )

Stole this from bobbinrob. :D

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence.

:: There was nothing except for the upturned room and the red marks of his brother's blood.

:: "No matter what I do it's like I'm still there."


Only two, 'cause that's all I've got written out right now. The rest are all up in my head yet. *nudges muse* :P

I've been meaning to post this for several days now. My Crazy Muse needs some feedback. After all I've only got *eeep!* a month to two months approximately to get these two sequels for "Unwilling To Let Go" written and posted. Yikes! Time to buckle down and actually get these things typed up!

Just to catch everyone up with this fanfic series of mine...I wrote "Unwilling To Let Go" back in May of 2007. It was my take on how Dean was going to die and go to Hell....way before Season Three even began. I received numerous requests to continue the story, so I've been working on two sequels ever since. Part Two is called "Walking Through Hellfire" and Part Three is called "Blood and Bone and Fire". I posted a preview section of "Walking Through Hellfire" in April. I suggest reading those two posts first before you venture into this one. With this entry I'll give you taste of Part Three "Blood and Bone and Fire".

I can't seem to help myself. I've just got to post part of my sequel fic that I've got typed out. What can I say? My Muse needs feedback. Think of it as a sneak preview. I'm sure it will change as I type up the rest of the fic, so this is by no means set in stone. Hopefully, it won't spoil you for the rest of the story.

Forgive me if I ramble...I'm running on no sleep this morning. Not to worry...I'm sure I'll crash after lunch. LOL. I was supposed to make this post last night, but, well...let's just say I was detained by a relative.

What was & what is to come:

* Feb. 20th -- Made my first Just 'Cause cap post. I'm up to my 7th day of these and they're still popular.

* If you haven't had a chance, you can read my latest fanfic: "Sam & Dean Meet The LJ Gremlins". It's not my normal genre, but it was fun to write.

* Made my Mystery Spot animation of Dean going "Dude...Asia". I still smile whenever I look at it. :)

* Still having troubles with my new Vista PC. Yesterday I established that it's crashing exactly every hour. Weird. I'll be making a phone call about it sometime this week. I may very well end up going back to Windows XP.

* Because of my computer problems, I still haven't completely capped 3.12 yet, so my First Impressions post is still pending. Worst comes to worst, I'll just take a couple of caps here on the Mac and use them.

* Watched the Oscars Sunday night. I hadn't seen any of the nominated films, so I had no favorites, but I almost always watch the awards anyway, being the filmmaker/film geek that I am. :) Loved seeing all the fashions (how 'bout those red dresses?), George Clooney *swoons*, and Jon Stewart host a classy show.

* Can somebody slow down the week? I'm still trying to get my big Jensen birthday post done by Saturday. Made a little progress yesterday, but I still haven't typed up my post or really even decided what all I'm going to include.

* I'm going to get that UNC Achordants music post up this week, too. No more delays....it's getting posted!

* Still need to catch up on more comments, especially the older ones. *resolves to get more of them done today* :)


*hugs flist* Okay...lunch, nap, & then back to LJ.

This story came to me as I was looking through my caps from IMTOD a few weeks ago. All the feelings Dean was going through at the end of that episode pushed my Muse into action.

It soon became not just another angst-ridden fanfic, but a reflection of my own feelings over my dad's death last year.

Edit: Please don't be shy about leaving me comments for this fic. I really do want to know your opinion about it because it's sort of a departure from the normal way I write. - Thanks!


( Warning: very sad fic ahead -- keep those tissue boxes handy.... )

Things have been a little quiet around here for a couple of days, so it seems a little status report is in order. This will be a bit of a random post, so bear with me!


( All the latest news behind the cut )

I read a lot of fan fiction. Before SPN I read a lot of fan fiction for some of my favorite TV shows. My collection of SPN fan fiction numbers about 500 stories and I read some just about every day. I've even managed to write a few myself, but my writing muse doesn't kick in very often.

My point here, is that I'm quite the fanfic reader and over time I've run across several things that seem to repeatedly appear in SPN fan fiction and sometimes in fan fiction in general. Call them pet peeves if you like, but I see them so often in the fanfic I read that they've become major annoyances.
