Time is all I've got

...Wow, it's been a while! Because I sort of suck, but there's also been tons going on. I think I might've mentioned some things before, although I may have locked them, but I'm keeping this open. But I've been spending a lot of time working (new job!) and, unfortunately, visiting people in hospitals. I've got a close relative and a friend who really need to get better, and it's been a lot to deal/keep up with. 2010 has been pretty busy, and not necessarily in a good way, but I'm still happy it's the Christmas season! And I've still been lurking and looking in on the flist, even if I haven't been commenting.

I ♥ you all, and I hope things are going well for you! Hope you're enjoying the holidays!! :D

Also, I do still have, like, a bajillion unfinished fics to finish that I've sort of been working on (some that I think I actually owe people, which makes me feel bad). But, if you want to prompt me to do something, anyway, I'd still appreciate it. It might get my ass back in gear!

...I need to get Christmas icons back on this thing.

I just saw a link to this on Facebook.

So, obviously, the title stood out to me. And then in the description, I see this:

The Jensen Project — a secret community of geniuses conducting advanced underground research to solve the world’s most difficult problems.

Does this scream "FANFICTION" to anyone else?? Jensen as the head of a secret community of geniuses? Anyone? XD

Big Bang: 27,205 and counting!

Honestly? When I first came up with the idea for it, I liked the idea, but I wasn't happy with the way it was coming out. I wasn't happy with the way I was writing it. Which is probably why it took me so long to get it going. I was even worried about making it to 20K. But then I hit this stride, and I actually really like what I've done now. I'm kinda proud. There are certain things about it that I kind of worry about seeming maybe overdone or like I'm falling into a pattern with my writing, but I guess that's what betas are for! itskaylie has already promised to mark the hell out of it, hahaha. Lovingly, of course. I was gonna finish it up tonight, but RL stuff happened, and I'm pretty tired. But I think I'll be wrapping it up within the next couple of days. Then I'll go through it myself to do some editing, and then I'll send it off to be beta'd. I guess I'll send it off as a first draft, too, before the beta job is done. That would probably make sense. I really didn't think I'd finish this soon, but this all happened pretty quickly!

Anybody else participating in BB thinking it'll drive them crazy to not be able to post until June? :P

Pointless post! Just dropping in to say hi. I got way behind on this flist and comments. I think I might still have some comments buried in my email. I will get to those!

I've been...sort of working on Big Bang? But...not really? When I first signed up, it was like, "Oh, this'll be EASY!" Because I've written long fics in a much shorter time span. But now...I'm a little worried, haha. I wish I could just revive my NaNo, but then I remembered I posted some of it here. And I was gonna be like, "Hey, guys! Forget that ever happened!" But, uh, I don't wanna go through all that and then get chewed out for it already being posted. If anyone found out, that is... XD

Thing is, I already have 11K+ of that fic. And this one I have for BB...it could be long, but I wrote a little more of it today, and I'm slightly worried about making it to 20K with it. Which, that's stupid, because I tend to make things longer than they need to be, anyway. But I guess I'm just a little paranoid. I also need to stop getting distracted and get into a writing mood again, dammit. I had it for a bit when I got the random angel!fic in my head. But other than that...I've been...off, lately.

I still have one more help_haiti fic to do, and I have a song prompt, too. Ugh. Come on, brain. Work!

Anybody else making progress??

I shall get back into writing myself soon, but in the meantime, you should all read these:

Born Upon the Tide by neros_violin
Written for j2_everafter, neros_violin took Pirates of the Caribbean, twisted it, and made it a J2 fic. And it's amazing.

Trying to Hold Back This Feeling by dugindeep
Um. There's a picture involved. And there's Jensen. In jeans. In a car. With Jared. And, seriously? I feel Jared's pain.

Bad Kings by sansday
I don't read much Dean/Castiel, but sucuri recced this one, and it's just really well written. And it's an interesting look at both characters, dealing with both of their issues after Heaven and after Hell.

I feel weird for not posting fic on here for so long. How are you guys??

So, there was some crazy wank yesterday that I honestly can't talk about anymore, because if I do, the absurdity of it will make my brain explode. I'm opting to just forget about it, which I'm sure we all will, anyway, and move on. The love meme certainly helps with that! You guys (and J2) are ♥. But, wait! There's more!

A little while ago, there was this comment thread in one of my entries. In this comment thread, me, dugindeep, and neros_violin somehow ended up coming up with superhero names for ourselves. Don't ask, I don't even know. The names all came from our fic/online habits/comments/whatever. dugindeep was Dirtybird, neros_violin was Sapmonster, and I was the Pornmaster. Which I thought sounded more like a villain's name, so we went with that.

neros_violin then posted a comment fic that went a little something like this:


( The Adventures of Dirtybird and Sapmonster, Part I )

neros_violin is amazing. ♥

I opted to write the second part, and it's taken me this long to do it. Shame on me! But, finally, here it is! :D



( The Adventures of Dirtybird and Sapmonster, Part Deux )

That's right, Dirtybird! The rest is up to you now!

I'm a bit late on this, but MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all! I ♥ you!

I'm a bit late on this, but thanks to stacyleanne for the snowflake cookie! :D If only LJ would let us send more of them out. *pout*

Also, I don't think I've pimped this yet...but holy shit, you have to read it. Anything You Want by neros_violin. I seriously can't even describe it. You just have to read it. It's one of the hottest things I've ever read...if not the hottest. SERIOUSLY. Go!

I should be posting fic soon, I'm just waiting for dugindeep to confirm that it doesn't suck. And I have to, like, put an actual ending on it. And I'm still working on my non-NaNo that I really have to title. Sort of. I really need to finish that thing. And all the other fics/ideas I have written down. Yikes!

So, the past few days, I've been pretty busy with RL stuff, and I haven't had much time to come on here and check out my flist. And you, flist, move pretty swiftly, so I know I need to get caught up and not be out of the loop. And I will come back and do that!

But this post right now is just a thank you! Because, after not being on this thing for a bit, I finally check my email and such, and I have gifts! And it's all Christmasy and wonderful, and you guys are awesome!

Thank you applepie_x0, aldehyde, maerhys, and enablelove for the snowflake cookies!! And, while I have yet to really comb through my flist, thank you tigerstriped86 for the sweet post and the fic gift!! I will get to catching up with you guys and reading the fic ASAP!

Hugs to the flist! ♥!

dugindeep tagged me, so I have to do this, yo. And I'm pretty sure the "rules" say you have to tag eight people, and you can't just leave it up to whoever wants to do it...but that's what I'm doing.
