I managed to weedle my sister into seeing Avatar with me tonight - she wasn't really interested, but I've really wanted to see it.

TOTALLY WORTH IT.

GAH

It was beautiful, and epic, and the characters .... so much love for the characters. I mean okay it was a little predictable, but I didn't even care. It was just so cool, totally worth all the hype I'd been reading about it before it came out.

Also I finally finished my

spn_j2_xmas fic, I really wish I'd been able to write more on it, because the ending totally begs for more, but man. So hard to write. I didn't realize that before this fic I'd only written wincest like once before. It was painfully obvious though while I was writing. I might give it another go though, you know without a deadline hanging over my head.

Next on the agenda is the

apocabigbang fic. And I think I signed on for Star Trek in that one, a little Jim/Bones, which will be fun and omg scary. Though I still have time to work on that one - time to start mapping it out though. Ooo and there is Glee Big Bang art coming up at some point too (I need to add that to my TO DO list).

I want to see Avatar again.

you guys! You guys! YOU GUYS!

ugh I am failing at writing sam/dean.... I should know better than to sign up to write them. I should just stick to writing rps.

RAWR

mini_nanowrimo is over. I said I would write 200 words every day - well I failed at that, but I did manage at least 200 words on 24 days this past month.

My total goal was 6000 words this month. I managed just about 20,000 so just about 14k over what I'd pledged to write. Which is really nice to know considering how much I felt like I was failing over the month.

Of course most of that writing was on little random things that will never see the light of day - and I really need to finish my

spn_j2_xmas fic soon, so much do to and moving .... blehhhhhhhh.

We bought a house today guys. We get the keys tomorrow, and then we are getting the carpets clean and then we start moving in.

Hooray!

In other news:

I have google wave invites, 8 to be exact.

I am writing some advent drabbles, I'll likely post them in batches at the end of the week.

I have been dying of illness, and sleeping so much, I am hoping to be well tomorrow.

ummmmm....

mini_nanowrimo is over, and I missed a few days due to my own fail, but I think I made the overall word count for the month like I did last year. One day I will be able to do the writing every day. And then I'll work my way up to the real NaNoWriMo.

now bed.

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifty words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

1. Jeffrey Dean Morgan (RPF)
2. Artie Abrams (Glee)
3. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy (Star Trek)
4. Misha Collins (RPF)
5. Jensen Ackles (RPF)
6. Sirius Black (Harry Potter)
7. Sam Winchester (SPN)
8. John Mitchell (Being Human)
9. Edward Cullen (Twilight) - yes really
10. George Sands (Being Human)

( Heh random pairings shall be random )

Another day of the

mini_nanowrimo, I am starting to think that the 200 words a day commitment might just do me in. I've made it alright so far - but I am failing at actually writing the fic I want to be writing.

But hey I wrote a drabble! For the first time in forever. It's Dean/Castiel-ish. Actually it's like Sam/Dean with a pining Castiel.

( What it is to Want )

mini_nanowrimo has started. And I've gotten about 300 words written already. So I think I'm off to a good start. My plan is to work on my

spn_j2_xmas fic during all of this and if I keep trucking away, with my at least 200 words a day, I should be done well before the December 1 deadline.

In other news .... we've pretty much bought a house.

so the

spn_j2_xmas assignments went out today, :D

I'm really pretty happy with what I got this year, I really liked my prompt and the resulting fic last year, and I'm glad this year will be something pretty different. I hope I can make something I like just as much this year.

it's almost time for me to post my

rpf_big_bang art, next weekend, I'm kind of nervous and kind of excited. I really just want to get it over and done with, but I have a few more pieces to finish before I'm completely finished, but the end is in sight, and then I'll start on my

startrekbigbang art which I am really excited about.

Need me some moar Karl Urban in my life.

Gah, Planet Earth is on right now, Great Whites eating unsuspecting seals, and seals eating unsuspecting penguins!

The

spn_j2_xmas exchange is open! Go sign-up! I had a really fun time last year and I'm ready to make something new and fun this year.

Just a little bit longer and my

rpf_big_bang is going to go up, along with the art I've been making for another story. Lots of posting to come over the next few weeks - I'm excited.

I did it, I finished my big bang fic :D

Over 25k, and my god the editing the thing is going to need, but I finished it and I am so happy with how it turned out

Hooray!

Now bed

I took a little break from writing this evening to play around in photoshop. I decided I needed a new header for the ol' lj. And I decided Karl Urban the object of my ever increasing desire was a lovely subject for the new header, also new icons for the side bad as well. (

acquiescence_ a handy link should you want to see the pretties)

In other news the big bang has reached big bang proportions. Now the only question will be can I actually finish it before the deadline, which is looming.

I'm at 17,500 right now, I think I'll try to add another 1-2k before I head off to sleep tonight and then more writing tomorrow. I finally figured out how I sort of want the rest of the fic to go. I had it all planned out until about the middle of the story and then there was supposed to be an ending but nothing to get from the middle to the end. But I think I've managed to plot out how I want that to go so it should make the writing of it much easier.

It keeps getting longer which is a little mind boggling. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make it to 15k for a long time, and then I was like okay 15k is reachable but it'll probably end at like 17k, and then was like no maybe it'll reach 20k, and now I'm thinking it'll be closer to 25k. It just keeps growing!

But it's fun in any case and I'm really glad I'll have a month in which to edit this too, because I'm kind of feeling like a lot of it is crap, but mostly this has been about getting the whole thing down and then I'll go back later and iron out the details and such.

ficfinishing, I am hoping it'll help me get my shit together and actually finish my big bang... so far I think it's helped and it's only day one. Hoorays.

Made polenta with shallots and portabella mushrooms tonight, plus round two of the molten chocolate cakes, they actually came out of their cups and got do to the real molten lava thing - success!

Note: Karl Urban is fan-freaking-tastically hot in Doom - silly movie, but totally worth it to watch him, I think the Rock was billed as the main character, but it's a lie, it's really Karl, and I'm not being biased at all.

Finally: bed.

There was more cooking tonight, though a bit spur of the moment, still fun to try out some new recipes though :D

We were at the store and we had to get something for dinner, I suggested my old stand by - stir fry, and my sisters revolted, apparently I've been feeding them too much stir fry lately. They wanted spaghetti, bleh. I'm not a fan, especially the way my family seems to like it best. It's like eating some noodles with a piece of meatloaf on top, lol.

So stir fry was out and spaghetti was out.

We browsed around the store, me making suggestions all the while, which were all turned down by my very picking siblings. Until finally we settled on chicken parmesan, and eggplant parmesan for me. So I just sort of winged it on both of those tonight, and they both turned out pretty well I think, we had it with angel hair, and green beans and corn - because apparent if you have green beans you have to have corn in it no matter how silly that seems.

And seeing as I was doing some cooking tonight, I made these little molten chocolate cakes as well. They were pretty durn good, though they could have used another few minutes in the oven and they would have been better if they'd actually come out of the cups I baked them in so you could really get the whole lava effect.

Alas.

Working on big bang tonight, goodness I really want to make the deadline. I just feel really stuck, I sort of lost momentum with it after those 2 weeks up in Indiana with no time to write and now that I do have time I can't seem to make it work :(

I wanted to do this again because I'm on my main computer now so I have a few other WIPs I didn't get to share earlier ... plus it inspires me to write again and I need a bit of a kick in the pants.

Also - I like run on sentences.

The WIP meme: post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.

1. So he sat outside, the air still cool, the sun just coming up over the mountains in the distance, like the world didn't realize what had happened that night – like it didn't know or care about all the people they'd lost, all the friends, lovers, family … brothers.

2. They said the world would end with a whimper, or was it a bang? Hell, he couldn't remember anymore, not like it matter one way or the other.

3. Charlie licked his lips, eyes roving over the body spread out in front of him, taking in ever bit of bare skin as he circled slowly.

4. So that was how Chris ended up with a picture of Karl lips wrapped around a microphone arms spread wide like he was proud as fuck that he'd managed to fellate the damn thing in front of so many people.

5. "Sure it is; I still say it looks fucking painful," Jensen slouched further into Misha's couch, as if asserting that he was the normal one – this was how normal people relaxed, they didn't fold themselves into fucking pretzels.

6. The sun shone in through the dusty window, its rays diffused as they passed through the glass.

7. In between her conversations with Ricardo over the vast superiority of Return of the Jedi when compared to The Emperor Strikes Back or the various flaws in book to film titles, she spent her time comforting the customers

The WIP meme: post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.

1. He could see her face, contorted in fear as she was pulled away from him, lips no longer curled in that easy teasing smile, but contorted with fear the silent shape of his name there instead, and he couldn’t do anything, couldn’t reach her, couldn’t save her, couldn’t stop this.

2. The first slap came quickly and without warning, Charlie could feel Dennis tense beneath his hand.

3. So when he started staring at the picture on his desktop with something more than just amusement – well Chris wasn't sure what to think, other than his mother might have been right when she called him a little bit strange.

4. Jim knew better than to get in the way while Bones was working, he’d been jabbed with far too many hyposprays for getting in the way in the past to make that mistake again.

Well I only got a few hundred words added to the big bang tonight, mostly tonight was spent fact checking and doing more to map out the fic and up coming characters and things. I am still feeling like I might scrap all the work I did yesterday, I'll probably send it to a friend to read first since I generally think most of what I write isn't that great until the whole thing is finished. So we'll see.

In other news, that hate meme?

I was just hearing about it on a few other journals on my flist, but really it only seemed like it happened in passing and stuff. I think I heard more about it on twitter than here on lj. But I was silly and went to find it because you know I hear about SPN wank and craziness all the time but I've never really seen any evidence to support those sorts of things.

Honestly it was mostly full of lulz, but seriously if people have the time to sit around talking about how much they hate people they've never met on the internet then there is something seriously wrong with them. Maybe they ought to take a walk or something instead. I just think it's silly, name calling and spreading rumors about people you'll most likely never meet, what's the point?

Whatevs.

SPN has still been the greatest most welcoming and awesome fandom I've ever been a part of, and I loves it for all the great fic, writers, artists, and comms that it's introduced me to. I love the show, with all it's faults, and I love all the actors .... ever single one of them. So yay SPN!

I forgot about this little website until tonight .... going to have to make more use of it in the very near future.

I may or may not have been inspired to start writing a Chris Pine/Karl Urban fic tonight.

I blame

sparkysparky. We were talking about that mic pic and I just could not get the idea that Chris uses it as a wallpaper on his computer out of my head.... and well ... It had to be written, don't judge me.

So big bang writing is going ... I'm feeling very productive about all of that. Decided maybe I would map out characters tonight, since I have reached a stopping point in the writing. Trying to decide if I want to expand the group of "good guys" or not, maybe, though only in the flashbacks. Who are people JDM is friends with? IDK.

I was silly and signed up as an artist for

startrekbigbang. This is the first time I've signed up as an artist for anything, so it'll be interesting but I think I can do it.

Speaking of art, look at my sidebar (

acquiescence). It's filled with GQMFs and I loves it.

Torchwood tonight, not quite as epic as last night, but still.... I need to know what is happening with them dang creepy kids. But I am just so happy with this show.

And now I guess it's bedtime.

No I am not silly enough to sign up for

startrekbigbang no matter how tempting it is. I am having enough trouble with my

rpf_big_bang to do something like that, though I am tempted to sign up as an artist - which would be a first, but I think that is something I could handle. But everyone else should sign up to write for it so I can read all the great fic that will happen. I'm still working my way through a lot of the

spn_j2_bigbang fic, there are not enough hours in the day I tell you - which is probably why I am still awake at 4am.

Urgh, I really want to write my bigbang, I've got a lot of really good ideas for it, I have it pretty well mapped out the problem seems to be connecting the dots and filling in the blank spaces - plus I'm completely stuck on the beginning. I feel like I should just move past that scene and go back to it later, but apparently I am dumb and don't know how to go about moving forward in the story without that bit more solidified.

Still have a pretty decent amount of time before the drafts are due so I am still feeling like I can make this work, I just need a kick in the pants or something to get going on it. It shall happen, I have hope.
