Thank you all for voting in my poll about re-posting this. The response was overwhelming & so encouraging!
I've never been much of a fanfic writer, in fact in most cases I despise writing. But in the early years of the show it really inspired my Muse (who was truly obsessed w/Jensen - duh!) to write. A lot of the times these stories just spilled out of me within minutes to an hour or so.

Revisiting an old fanfic of mine... )

Not sure what the fandom/Livejournal rules are on such things so...

The other day I was looking through some papers and found a print-out of one of my WIP fics from years ago with my notes scribbled all over it.

Surprise! Yes, I write fanfic.
Occasionally.

He’d give a heavy sigh, maybe roll his eyes, but Sam always gave in. )

OMG People! Oh. My. God. sSc_eek3

I'm giddy! Was catching up on the tweets of J2 from VegasCon from yesterday and heard that Jensen rapped Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" as the boys left the stage.

Holy friggin' cow!!!!
Jensen just made a crack!fic that I wrote back in 2008 REAL!!!! happy dance

This was back when LJ was routinely losing comments (gee, some things never change, huh?). A friend and I kept saying that gremlins were eating everyone's comments. Who better to solve the problem than the Winchester boys!
The story: Gremlins are eating the comments in LJ. The fandom's only hope...Sam & Dean, of course, but is Dean willing to do what needs to be done to drive the gremlins out of LJ?

And what is it that Dean needs to do? Why sing "Ice Ice Baby" to drive away the gremlins...oh, and hold some cherry jello. LOL
So how cool is it, after all these years to not only hear Jensen actually sing it, but that he KNOWS THE WORDS! Heehee!!!!

Here, read: SPN Crack Fic: "Sam & Dean Meet The LJ Gremlins"

Video of Jensen making it a reality. Jump ahead to the 2 minute mark to skip the final panel question and get to the music. Thanks to Kelios for capturing it. :)

Sad to see 2 more of my Flisters leaving LJ today. I'm afraid this place will be a ghost town soon, with only me and a handful of others keeping the SPN community going. :(

Thought I'd list where I am online for those who want to follow me now that a new season of SPN is nearly upon us.

Title: What Is Truth? [Written for the Hunter's Journal Monthly Contest for June over at [livejournal.com profile] positively_spn.]
Word Count: 913
Summary: With hallucinations of Lucifer plaguing him, Sam struggles with the truth. But will there be collateral dammage?
Warnings: Spoilers for 7.02 "Hello, Cruel World".
Disclaimer: Still don't own Sam & Dean. Darn.

Author's Notes: This was written in hurry, over 2 days for the contest. Had no beta and only told one friend I was even doing this. *g* Probably not my best stuff, but the idea jumped in my head a few days ago and it was begging to be written. Basically an AU story for the warehouse scene in 7x02.


Anger and disbelief roared through him. 'No, no. It's not you! You're just trying to trick me again!' )

Been reading the very long (60 chapters!) SPN fanfic "The Darkness We Create" by bambers2. I have chapters 1-12 printed out, but not the rest.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3966929/1/The-Darkness-We-Create

I checked my own saved archive of fanfics but it's not there and to go through and save all 60 chapters...yikes. I'm hoping someone has already done the job.

Does anyone have this fic saved as a Doc. or PDF file?

I'd sure appreciate having a copy if anyone has one saved to their computer somewhere. Pretty please...*makes pitiful puppy eyes*


Problem solved!!!! Thanks everyone who helped and directed me to some online fanfic downloaders. Isn't the internet a wonderful place? You can find anything there! :D

This cap is from 3x16 "No Rest For The Wicked".
Click to see the full-sized cap.

Dean looked over his shoulder at his brother, no longer seeing the ghastly monster that was there a second ago. It was down to the last few hours. They'd find a way to save him, right? At least he wanted Sam to keep believing that.

What do you think? A little idea I had - write a mini-fic for a cap. It's not even a Drabble. :P
Life is about to get very busy...in so many ways. Really hoping to start posting my VanCon photos later today. It's time to get them out in the world. But first...sleep.
Have a good Saturday folks. *hugs*

Last week my Crazy Muse got it into her head to work on this WIP fic. A sudden bit of inspiration when I went to bed and she was off! LOL

Anyway, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] wynefred and [livejournal.com profile] judithyaffa for their invaluable help on this one and for being awesome betas.

This is super sad, I gotta warn ya. It's a death fic. Have some kleenex ready. ;)

Call it a hunter’s intuition, but there are some things you just feel with your gut. Like when you’re about to be ambushed and there’s no way out. )

Been seeing this meme floating around on my flist over the past week or so and figured what the hell...let's see if this motivates me back into writing.

Naturally, I'm modifying the rules to fit me better. *iz a rebel* :P

Post the first sentence (or three) 5 sentences from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!

Lots and lots of bits and pieces of fics within...enter at your own peril. Heh. )

Been reading through some old SPN fanfics that I've got printed out and found one that's going straight into the recycle bin.

I sometimes wonder how much people know the show before they start writing these things? The Impala is not a manual transmission. You ever seen Dean shifting gears all the time while driving? Nope, 'cause it's an automatic. And the boys don't stay in hotels. They don't have to use a key card to get into any room. The places they stay at are old, run down, and use old fashioned keys in the door locks.

*sigh*

On top of that the characterizations were off a bit. Sam telling Dean to "Shut the cake-hole, that's an order"? Uh, I don't think so. The other way around I would buy, but not coming from Sam. I don't care how out of it he is after "Mystery Spot".

I couldn't even finish reading the thing by this point. I'm done. Out it goes.

Sorry, just had to rant a bit there.

This little plot popped into my head the other day and today it wouldn't let me go. Since I don't actually write all that much anymore I still feel pretty rusty at it.
I must admit, it feels good to actually act on one of my story ideas so quick. You should see all the other stories I'm "working" on! :P

This is short. A little scene I felt was needed during that commercial break from when Dean called 911 and the ambulance ride. Enjoy. :)

A cut hand Dean could patch up, he was good at that, but this? How could he fix the damage going on in Sam's mind? )

raloria: (Default)
Um, I literally just wrote this in about 15 min. When My Crazy Muse gets an idea I've gotta go with it. :P

Dean remembered the last time he and Sam had sat like this... )

raloria: (Default)
I mentioned the other day that I was thinking of writing a fanfic for the opening of last week's episode, so here it is. :)

If you're like me, that opening scene left you wanting a bit more. Hopefully this helps, though somehow brotherly cuddling didn't make it into the fic (sorry!). I know that was an easy place to go, but Dean's urgency took over instead. My Muse writes what she feels. *shrugs*

The seizure was over, but Sam wasn't stirring, no matter how much Dean called out or shook him. )

raloria: (Default)


Yeah, I took a look and signed up for 6 prompts! o_O
I gotta be out of my mind, but there were so many good ideas I had to jump on some of them.

I'm already busy and I've got my own fics I'm in various stages of writing, but this looked fun and I'm already getting good ideas.
C'mon Crazy Muse, let's go! :D

I'm in the long laborious process of going through my printed out SPN FanFic, looking them up online, and saving them as a rtf file. I know, I know...shoulda done that when I printed them off online in the first place. Believe me, I will from now on. Over the past year or so I got a bit lazy & sloppy and now I'm paying the price.

Anyhoo...I came across my printout of [livejournal.com profile] nwhepcat's "Apothesis Of Wile E. Coyote". All parts are linked: HERE (Watch out some are listed out of order). A great fanfic, but good golly it's LONG! Thirty-one chapters. o.O I've only got some of it saved in a rtf file so...

I was wondering if someone out there already has this fanfic saved in it's entirety. I'll take it as a rtf file, doc, PDF, whatever. I'd just like it in one file so I can print it out in the future.

Can anyone help a fellow SPN fanfic fan out, please? *makes Sammy puppy eyes*

The idea for this fic came to me last week and I scribbled down the beginnings of it, finishing it up late last night. Wanted to get it posted before this week's new eppy, so here it is...such as it is. Not one of my greatest works, but I liked the idea. Still not sure about the ending, but the time crunch is on.

Now I can get back to that other fic I'm currently working on. ;)

Dean in 'Dead In The Water': Oh, I used to love these things. )

:: Flist, I owe you an update about the past weekend & what's been going on of late. It's coming, I promise, but probably not until this coming weekend.

:: I'm hanging in there. Sleep is all over, eating habits are bad, & my weight is up. *sigh* My life is due for a major overhaul. With any luck, come February, things will calm down a little into normal territory.

:: Still working on one fanfic that I began back in December, but I've hit a little dry spell on it at the moment. Not to worry, though, I still plan on finishing it. Meanwhile, the other day I was struck with inspiration on a new little ficlet. It kind of picks up where 6x11 left off, so I'm eager to get it done & posted before the show returns on the 28th. It's already over halfway done. I think you'll all like it. :)

:: If I'm ever home for more than one day at a time I might actually get back to posting some things. I've got eppy reviews to do, VanCon reports to finish, episodes to cap, and more. I wanna get these done so I can move onto other things.

:: I miss SPN a lot, as we all are in these last days of the hiatus. Lately, I'm been behind on my other shows. Got downloads of several already that are waiting for some spare time for me to watch them. Yeah, the weekend, no doubt. Have read all the spoilers for upcoming SPN eppies and I'm excited at what's coming down the pike!

*hugs flist* ♥

Tried to post this last night, but my internet went out on me.

Been reading a lot of SPN fanfic lately. (Ok, honestly, when don't I?) :P

Pardon me while I rant a bit...

* One fanfic, which was awesome and angsty & full of the hurt/comfort that I love so much...left me empty when the ending fell totally flat. I wanted a resolution and there wasn't any. No nice, "this feels like an ending" moment. A final scene with Dean and Cas (who was barely in the fic to begin with) and "The End". Wha???? o_O

* Great hurt/comfort author. Love her stuff, but is it possible for her to finish a fic before she starts a new one? I don't know how many of her stories have been left in limbo. Many of them are really very good, but they've been left unfinished for a couple of years now. I highly doubt she'll ever return to them.

* Another author...well I can say they tried. One thing that will turn me off a fic is if the characterization of the boys is off. Dean sounded more like a despicable younger Bobby. He was so obnoxious I didn't finish reading the 2 fics I'd printed out. And Sam, who was better represented, seemed to shout nearly all his dialog. There were exclamation points at the end of nearly every line of his. There was also too much of him calling Dean "bro". Once or twice is fine, but you can tell from the show that they don't use it that much.

And while I'm ranting...a few fanfic pet-peeves:

:: Dean calling Sam "Samantha". Ick. Please...don't.
:: Anyone calling Dean "Deano". Again...just don't.
:: Mixing up breath (as in "To take a breath") with breathe (as in "I wanted to breathe in some fresh air.").
:: Overuse of phrases such as "let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding" and "sadness (or pain, heat, or whatever) coming off of him in waves". Ugh. If I had a dollar for every time I've read these in fanfics I'd be rich by now. That 2nd one shows up in practically every single story I read. No joke.
:: WIP that are obviously abandoned.
:: Using hotel instead of motel. Hotels are fancy and expensive. Motels are on the lower end of the lodgings chain.

Thought I'd challenge myself and break out of my comfy fanfic-writing box and try my hand at some drabbles and ficlets.

My plan is to write a drabble or ficlet for each SPN in order. I'm really unsure if I'll be able to make this work, so...please be kind. :)

Something he can't really describe... )
