The Wanting Comes In Waves

Do you feel like you have to "warn" for who tops or bottoms in your slash stories?
I don't, but am I supposed to? Should I be?
I'd honestly have to go back and re-read all of my stories to tell you who tops or bottoms in each one, really and truly.
I don't keep track and it's not usually the main point of the story.

I knew I forgot to do something! In all the hub-bub of moving back to the States in the last couple of weeks, I completely forgot that I needed to find a beta for my Sam/Dean mini-bang story.
Anyone out there up for beta-ing for me?  We're scheduled for posting on the first day, 10/27. Thank you so very very muchly.

This looked like a fun way to start off the new year in a fannish sort of style! (seen most recently at firesign10 )

So to get on with the catching up,
Day One

So excited to be participating in spnj2_bigbang again this year, all those summaries and the excitement of artist choosing day got me all revved up about it.
Perhaps I wrote a slightly better summary this year because I got claimed the first day this time (pshew!) by the wonderful yanyann .  How cool, she's already on my f-list.  I spent the weekend adding and subtracting and just sent her my draft without too much teeth-gnashing involved. I can't wait to see what she comes up with for art.  Writing a story this long means the images have been sitting in my brain and are really clear and real to me, now to see if that came through in what I wrote for someone else...


July 18th is our posting day!

A lot to do between now and then because this thing is already 42k and there's more to add to the story.,, 

Add this to the you learn something new everyday file.
I cannot believe that I truly did not know this, apparently because I learned to type on a typewriter (back in the day), one is no longer supposed to use two spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. It all has to do with proportional fonts. And the funny thing is I love fonts, but I guess I don't really know much about them.

But from here on out, there will be less spaces in my writing. And wow is this ever a challenge. I've been typing since 7th grade, I was twelve, that's 36 years of typing. When they brought in PC's to high school my senior year, those of us who knew how to type had an advantage. But no one ever mentioned all this business about proportional fonts.

So I apologize, for all of my online writings being WRONG. You were all so nice not to mention it too, very polite, thank you. No I am not going to go back and edit them all.

Well, I couldn't resist.  They were so cute, and pretty, and I liked the font (I'm a sucker for nice fonts).

Yes! I took the plunge and signed up for    spn_j2_bigbang  !  It was so fun last year writing such a long story and getting such wonderful art to accompany it.  The whole experience was a good one.  I hope you'll sign up too.  The more fic the better in my opinion! The sign-up deadline is February 1.
I'm trying to decide between a few different story ideas, but it will all come down to Sam/Dean no doubt.  Possibly case!fic once again, since I liked writing that for the   spn_reversebang  But maybe another AU like last year's effort.  I never know whether it is better to have too many ideas or wish I only had one.  Better than having none at all I suppose.

I am toying with the idea of signing up for trope-bingo but it's on dreamwidth, which I haven't used yet.  It's honestly the only thing holding me back from signing up.  Do I need yet another venue where I'm participating in fandom? LJ, AO3, Tumblr already take up so much of my time.  Any of you use dreamwidth? Is it better than LJ?

Working on a couple things for   spnpairingbingo   one of which will also double as my entry for the     (writer signups end 1/31, so go sign up!).  The story I'm halfway through with is Ruby2/Anna...and so far so good.  This is my very first time writing something for SPN that isn't all Sam/Dean or Samn'Dean.  Let's just say my love for Anna is getting me through writing about Ruby2.  Another pairingbingo story I'm working on is a Krissy Chambers/Claire Novak,  writing such a funky pairing and SPN het for the first time is a challenge, but I'm liking how it's turning out so far...

I have yet another post 8.09 Sam/Dean story which I hope to post tomorrow if I can manage it, before it gets completely jossed by 8.10 (woohoo hiatus is almost over!).  It's h/c and also fix!it for season 8 so far.  So far,amazingly enough, neither the Samulet nor the Green Cooler have made an appearance (pshew).

Someday when I grow up I hope I can write dialogue a quarter as well as Quentin Tarantino, absolutely blown away by Django Unchained this weekend, as well as a re-watch of Inglorious Basterds.
