Seems like a good idea to organize these things, so...


( Supernatural fic )
Also, not fic, but here is the Supernatural drinking game that sockkiah and I came up with. Enjoy!

( Supernatural/Glee crossover fic )

( Lord of the Rings Fic )

Srs bsns Cas/Dean porn was winning by a lot for a while there, but then Chuck!fic made a sudden leap forward so they were tied. Now it's Chuck!fic 7, srs bsns porn 6, everything else 2.

I'm calling it in favor of...

(drumroll)

BOTH CHUCK AND PORN!

(cheering)

Here's the deal: Chuck!fic is more tricky to plot and involves more brainstorming and short bursts of writing, while porn involves an evening or two of solid writing. I'm thinking I'll allow myself to dabble with Chuck on the side and at some point set aside a day or two for angel porn.

That last sentence makes my life sound super sexy. I like it.

I've been procrastinating hardcore on the novel revision I need to get done for class. Long story short, I have about 200 pages to revise (along with other, smaller assignments) in less than 3 weeks. I won't be writing a whole lot of fic until that's done.

Here's the list of fics I've got in progress in one way or another. I'm going to allow myself to work on one fic (or chapter of a fic) as a reward/distraction between now and the end of this revision. Everything else will have to wait until after the revision's done. But here's the kicker: me being the master procrastinator that I am, I'm sure I could turn the simple act of choosing a fic to work on into a week-long task. So, I'm leaving it to you.

Fics in progress:

A) Ten Inch Hero/Supernatural crossover (LOL CASTING JOKES). Sam and Dean investigate a mysterious sub shop in Santa Cruz where Dean was once deep undercover investigating a succubus. (I owe sockkiah this fic from a trade way back.)

B) "Wishful Thinking" fic. When little Audrey sees that her teddy bear is sick, she wishes for a guardian angel to watch over him. Castiel is overcome with the desire to smite lollypop disease. (I owe sockkiah this fic, too.)

C) Avatar/Supernatural crossover, with character illustrations. Between scenes in "Changing Channels," Sam and Dean find themselves cartoonified on the back of a flying bison, surrounded by Aang and the gang circa late season 3.

D) Cas/Dean srs bsns post-"Abandon All Hope" porn. Angst. Drunk!Dean. Castiel doesn't get it, but he's trying.

E) Chapter one of The Code of Chuck, a sequel to Apocrypha. Team Winchester is getting back on their feet and making plans. Chuck's starting to figure out his new writing process. A new evil rises in the west. (Or east. Chuck's not really good with directions.)

POLL TIME!

What would you most like to see in the next couple of weeks?

ETA: Wow, I remember writing bread!fic way back when and thinking, "Crack? How odd for me!" Now 3/5 of my to-be-written list is crack. LOLwhut.

I'm rewatching season 3 of Avatar instead of sleeping. This is maybe not a good idea for several reasons:

Reason 1: I have to get up early to cover a coworker's shift.

Reason 2: This show is too quotable for my sponge of a brain to handle. THE BOULDER IS CONFUSED.

Reason 3: My crossoveritis flares up after midnight, and now all I can think of is how "Changing Channels" made an easy starting point for crossing Supernatural with any other TV show in existence, and how awesome would it be to have Sam and Dean cartoonified and grumpily riding backseat on Appa with the Avatar gang? Sam could trade motherly nags with Katara, and Dean could angst with Aang about how it isn't really their fault they have to save the world, their ancestors started it!

Reason 4: "The Day of Black Sun" is fucking EPIC and I can't see it coming up on the episode list and not watch it, which...see reason 1.

Sigh. Gotta go change discs.

1. This alternate ending script for the new Star Trek movie. It made me tear up. It might have to become my personal canon, I love it so much.

2. This:



I could watch this video on loop for hours. Not even joking.

ILU, Shatner. &hearts

Dammit, now I've got Smiths stuck in my head.

Anyway, meme time. Doubling up, because I'm bored.

First:

( Ten things you probably didn't know about me (unless you're sockkiah, who wishes she didn't.) )

Then:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Also, unrelated to anything, I may have requested Dean/lamppost for shits and giggles at the SPN kink meme, and somebody actually wrote it.

I'm supposed to be asleep, but instead I've spent the last couple hours listening to my iTunes give me the crackiest random selection ever and fucking around in Photoshop. I saw _izu_'s fabulous speedpainting of Castiel from that firelit scene in 5.10, and it inspired me to try my own:



(Click once to embiggen, twice to make it really huge.) (That's what she said.)

Yarp.

ETA: And I made myself a new desktop. God, why do they even let me have caffeine after 5pm? Can't the waitstaff at Perkins just tell I won't be able to handle it? LIFE IS SO HARD.

Not much to say about 5.10 that I haven't already blathered on about elsewhere, except that I loved the way it worked tonally. Supernatural has this wonderful ability to hit that spot somewhere between dead serious and "LOL, J/K" where tragic or cracktastic events could happen and both would work. It's a great space to occupy, and I would argue that Supernatural is one of the few SF/fantasy/horror shows that manages to consistently stay in that space and keep its sense of humor intact even when the plot gets really dark. (You still get heavyhanded episodes like "Rapture" or "The End," but even those have "Was it a refreshing Coke?" and Dean's marvelous panty story.)

Anyway. Here's a video that showcases various ways the world could end, set to a cheery ditty.



If they finish this whole apocalypse plotline and Supernatural gets renewed for a sixth season, I hope that season is just a bunch of one-shot episodes of Sam and Dean fighting various apocalypses. I mean, where else can they go from here? It's THE APOCALYPSE.

I, for one, want to see Sam fight Ray Kurzweil.

Three quick things before I stop poking the Post button on LJ:

1) krisreinke left me drive-by comment!fic in The Apocrypha of Chuck! Making a Prophet - go read it. Go read it RIGHT NOW. It made my night.

2) I have a new life goal. It is to be as fierce as this guy. Look at that magnificent bastard. He owns this joint. You wish you had his confidence.

Also his shades.

Okay, I lied. This was technically a comment!fic, but it got a little out of hand and I love it an unreasonable amount, so I'm giving it its own entry.

Title: Hug It Out, Bitch.
Characters: Sam/Castiel, Dean, Ellen, Bobby, Rufus, Zachariah, Chuck, Chuck's poor molested throw pillow.
Ratings/Warnings: PG/Spoiler for 5.08 "Changing Channels"
Word Count: 1700
Summary: Written for the Stay Sassy prompt "Sam makes the mistake of giving Castiel a hug then refusing to hug him again. Castiel becomes a total hug-slut until someone finally decrees Sam damn well give Castiel hugs when he needs them."

( Sam’s eyes kept flicking up to the rearview mirror, watching Castiel’s face as the angel rode silently in the backseat. )

I've been writing comment!fic lately. Here's all of it from the last month. Some of it is in capslock because it's from a land where casplock is customary. Some of it is in capslock because I was up at 6am writing about HELICOPTERS. Some of it is not in capslock at all; sucks to be it.

In chronological order, with no promise of sanity...

From a random comment thread at mishaland: ( FIC ABOUT SAM AND CAS MAKING OUT )

From another random comment thread at mishaland where people were throwing out ship suggestions: ( DEAN/HIS DAD'S JOURNAL )

From the superglee comment!fic meme, ( Sue Sylvester/Uriel )

From the Stay Sassy Sam/Castiel comment!fic meme (which is GLORIOUS): ( Sam teaches Castiel to fly A HELICOPTER )

From the mishaland ClaspCon "Storytime" post (spoiler for 5.08 "Changing Channels"): ( GABRIEL GETTING CAS TO HELP HIM PLAY PRANKS ON THE OTHER ARCHANGELS )

And that be the lot of 'em. Now I need to stop writing comment!fic for a while and focus on not failing at school. And writing dick jokes in Chuck!fic. Y'know, the necessities.

OH! AND! AND!

emerald_embers filled my request in the Stay Sassy meme, which totally made my day today! The prompt was "Sam gets trapped in another trickster time loop. This time, every time things between him and Castiel start to heat up, he comes in his pants and the day starts over." Because I am classiness incarnate.

Title: Hate on Me
Characters: Dean, Sam, Castiel, Ellen, Jo, Bobby, Rufus, Lucifer, backup singers
Ratings/Warnings: PG/Spoilers for early season 5 Supernatural
Word Count: 2200
Summary: Dean wants to stop the apocalypse, but everyone around him is preoccupied with singing along to the Glee soundtrack. (This is apparently what happens when I listen to that soundtrack on repeat. I regret nothing.)

( It started in the parking lot of the Jaybird Motel just outside Louisville, Kentucky )

Watching the duet of "Defying Gravity" on last week's Glee, all I wanted was to see Kurt sing it solo. I just found Chris Colfer's studio solo. LET THE BASKING COMMENCE.



I'm picturing Chris Colfer walking into his audition, casually belting out a song like that, and being like, "Any questions?" while the casting directors sit there with their hair blown straight backwards and their glasses cracked.

Now, where's the Castiel fanvid to this song? C'mon, fandom, you know it'd be perfect.

I just finished season one of True Blood, so I'm gonna yell about True Blood some more.

Cool? Cool.

( SOOKEH! SOOKEH, C'MERE NOW AND WATCH ME PLAY WII GOLF! (Spoilers) (...for True Blood, not Wii Golf.) )

John Barrowman (AKA Captain Jack Harkness) dancing to "Single Ladies":



To quote sockkiah, "Why don't all celebrities do this?"

And then there's this little piece of gloriousness:



Doesn't your life feel more complete now? I know mine does.

Two questions.

Re: fic writing/posting etiquette: is it okay to repost comment-fics I've written for other comms/memes/etc. in my own LJ?

Re: utterly tasteless bullshit: Photobucket has deleted my dong angels drawing. Seeing as the dong angels were clothed and therefore not nudity, clearly they must have fallen under "blatantly offensive" to somebody. I've posted far more offensive crap on my account, as well as stuff I'm sure would count as copyright violation if the site really cared, so I can only conclude that Zachariah is secretly in charge of Photobucket and took offense at the way I so truthfully captured his character.

The question being...anybody know an image hosting site that wouldn't take offense to dong angels and similar drawings?

I've been Netflixing True Blood to watch with sockkiah. The hype I'd heard about it has proven to be pretty true - it's thoroughly entertaining, and I do find every single character engaging (some for reasons unknown - I mean, Jason? He spends 90% of his screen time having embarrassing sexual encounters. WTF.).

But it's also one of those shows that incites sockkiah and I to MOCK IT MERCILESSLY while we watch it, in spite of the love.

( A quick list of observations about Bill Compton. )

I normally don't do episode reaction posts, but...

( Here be flailing. You might wanna wear a cup. )

Title: All-in
Characters: Castiel/Patrick
Ratings/Warnings: NC-17/Spoilers for 5.07
Word Count: 2800
Summary: An angel and a warlock sit down for a friendly game of poker..that gets a little more than friendly.
Notes: Thanks to ibroketuesday for inspiring, peer-pressuring, and betaing this.

( Patrick had tried everything to forget her, but it seemed a week stretched out just as long with nine hundred years under your belt as it did with a mere coupla decades. )

The crowning achievement of my day today was getting the shine right on a drawing of a bright purple dildo, and I blame you, Supernatural fandom.
