Maybe next month...
Jan. 27th, 2012 10:38 pmI've pretty much given up on actually accomplishing anything this month. I blame it on a stressful November and December from which I am only just recovering. I'm just spending most of my spare time watching through eight and a half seasons of NCIS.
I have, however, finally joined twitter (I don't think that really counts as an accomplishment). I only joined because I was regularly checking the twitter accounts of three different people and decided I might as well just give in and follow them. So, I am under days_of_light, if anyone wants to follow me. I'm not sure I'm actually going to tweet anything, but you can follow me anyway in case I randomly decided to one day. But I would like to follow people on my f-list if you have twitter and welcome any suggestions of interesting people to follow. I'm currently following starandrea, Misha Collins, Mathew Gray Gubler, and someone who posts weird summaries of episodes from an imaginary season 8 of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

[PRIS Fanvid] I Will Go On
Dec. 23rd, 2011 10:28 pmJust when I was starting to worry I'd grown out of power rangers, I finally managed to finish off this video (which I apparently started February 8, 2008)
Title: I Will Go On
Music: "Until the End" by Breaking Benjamin
Rating: PG for violence and one swear
Characters: Andros plus various friends and enemies
Summary: Andros continuing on through all the universe throws at him.

These two fics sort of go together. It was actually supposed to be one fic. I was feeling really down in mid November and felt the need to write something really angsty with a happy ending, but when I wrote it, it kind of split in two. So now you can read the happy ending without the angst or the angst without the happy ending, or simply read both.
Title: When All Is Lost
Characters: Dean, Sam
Rating/Warnings: PG for minor swearing
Genre: Angst, Drama, Hurt/Comfort
Word Count: 1575
Spoilers: Up to and including 7x10
Summary: Everything that's happened recently finally hits Dean.

Title: Good Things Do Happen
Characters: Dean, Castiel, Sam
Rating/Warnings: PG for minor swearing
Genre: Drama, Family, Friendship
Word Count: 1060
Spoilers: Up to and including 7x10, then ultimately becoming AU
Summary: For the first time in a long time, something good happens to Dean Winchester.

So there's only a couple hours left and despite the giant sprint forward of the past week, I'm obviously not going to get out the 15,000 more words I need to win, but I'm currently looking at it this way: 35,000 is much better than the 2,500 words I wrote last year which was much better than the year before that when I signed up but wrote nothing which was better than the year before that when I did nothing at all. At this rate hopefully, I'll win next year.
Congratulations to everyone who did win. You are awesome and amazing!!
( Things I learned from doing NaNoWriMo )
The story I wrote is actually almost done. I still alternate between thinking its crap and thinking it's pretty good so I don't know if I'll get around to posting it or not. I'd still need to finish it off and then do some editing (I have a list of things that I need to go back and change). Unfortunately, my brain was taken over by another rabid plot bunny yesterday, so I just spent the past couple hours writing 1000 words of something completely different.

Plot Bunny of the Day
Nov. 21st, 2011 08:24 pmI adore Criminal Minds/Supernatural crossovers, but I'm too scared to write one because I don't know how I'd actually manage the whole profiling aspect of it. So this is the plot of a Criminal Minds/Supernatural crossover I'd write if I was actually brave enough to write it.

I am apparently motivated by cute kittenness.
Has anyone else tried Written Kitten? It rewards you with a new cat photo for every 100 words you write and I think it might have actually cured my writer's block. I didn't think I'd be able to write anything today and suddenly I have a 1000 words.

This is me trying to create a moment in time, and not a very happy one. This is me trying to draw a picture with words, because I'm not so good with a pencil. This is me playing with repetition because I've always loved the use of it in storytelling. But mostly, this is me skiving off writing more of my NaNo stuff as I get further and further behind in my word count. It's really all the plot bunnies' fault though. They come in the night and whisper words into my ears.

Characters: Castiel, Sam, Dean
Rating/Warnings: PG
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
Word Count: 493
Spoilers: None unless you don't know who Castiel is
Summary: There's an angel asleep on the couch.

So I'm about 3000 words behind schedule and can't seem to manage more than about 1000 words most days, but considering I'm normally such a slow writer, 7000 words in a week is better than anything I've managed before and much better than I expected to be doing so I'm happy.
Supernatural Plot Bunny of the Day
Nov. 3rd, 2011 08:27 pmDean acquires a pet rock and insists on taking it everywhere with him. Sam is unsurprisingly very confused.
(I may have admittedly been slightly feverish when I came up with this idea.)
(I may have admittedly been slightly feverish when I came up with this idea.)
After much debate, I've decided at the last minute that I will attempt NaNo again this year. I wasn't sure after what happened last year, but I had this idea a few weeks ago that I thought would be good for NaNo and I spent much of today at work thinking about it and before I knew it I had the second part of the plot and a possible title. It's unsurprisingly a Supernatural fanfic and I probably should have done some research ahead of time but it's a little late now.
So, I am HERE for anyone who wants to be buddies.

[Supernatural Fic] Up or Down
Oct. 22nd, 2011 10:47 amThis is my attempt at doing something creepy and slightly surreal. I've been working on it on and off for a year. I finished it almost two weeks ago, but I've been perfectionist nitpicking again. Hopefully, I haven't over edited. Sometimes, I have to post in order to make myself stop.

[Supernatural Fic] At the Roadside
Oct. 18th, 2011 08:43 pmMy plot bunnies are going through a small population explosion at the moment. I've started three fics in the past week and have ideas for three more that I really, really want to write. This always happens at the start of a new season. New episodes make for really good plot bunny food. So much for hoping I'd actually finish the stuff I started a year ago when this last happened. All I've managed to finish so far is this drabblish thing.
Title: At the Roadside
Characters: Sam, Dean
Rating/Warnings: G
Genre: Character Study, Drabble
Word Count: 223
Spoilers: None
Summary: Roadside confessions and Winchester denial.

Bizarre Question of the Day
Oct. 13th, 2011 02:31 pmWhat do you think the angels on Supernatural would use when discussing the weather, Fahrenheit or Celsius? (specifically Balthazar)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oct. 10th, 2011 03:05 pmWishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving even if they're not celebrating it until next month (or not at all) My family wasn't really in the mood to make or eat our traditional turkey dinner, so we'll be having Thanksgiving sushi! We'll be having it at my brother's place which should be interesting as his girlfriend is moving in at the end of the month and they just started integrating cats.
[Supernatural Fic] You Have to Carry Me
Oct. 9th, 2011 08:01 amI finally finished the draft of a 3000+ word fic that I've been working on on and off for a year, but instead of editing it, a plot bunny leaps at me and I write this.

Genre: Hurt Comfort, Humour, Family Fluff
Word Count: 712
