Stolen from half my flist.

The Works In Progress meme. Open your WIP file and post the names of all your documents, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Feel free to ask about anything and I'll tell you the premise or paste you a tidbit for any of these.

Everybody ready?

I'm also doing the gen_bigbang but I don't know if I can make it on time :( due to real life and a little bit of writer's block :(

Anyway, I want to know about
SPN- 10 and 11 (please say this is what I think it is- Hawaii=H50 :))

H50-3 (sounds intriguing!)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

God, I don't know if I'll make ANY of these on time, but I'm going to try!

SPN 10 is a casefic bigbang. The premise is simple: soulless!Sam and Dean go to investigate a series of mysterious deaths by radiation poisoning without any apparent cause. The case becomes a whole lot more personal when Sam begins exhibiting the same symptoms as the other victims, and it becomes a race against time to figure out just what's happening and put a stop to it before Sam becomes the latest victim of this curse, whatever it is.

SPN 11 is the crossover Big Bang, and I have tentative plans, yes, for a H50 crossover. Alas that I have no actual plot. It's pending some research on supernatural occurrences in Hawaii. I just want to see Danny and Dean mouth off at each other, frankly. ;)

H50 3 is yet another Big Bang. It's a hostage situation in a bank, and in theory Danny's going to be the one in the bank talking down the hostage-takers.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

SPN 10 was really piqueing my curiosity. Sounds delish! I'd love a list of all the BigBangs you're doing. (Stalking werds fer fun 'n profit...)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Actually, if you want a list of current projects, I have one here, including all the Big Bangs I'm working on.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

*insert subtle squeeeee here*

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Which BigBang is getting the casefic? (I'm planning a casefic for the SPN Gen BigBang, and since I'm a newb at Bangs AND 'serious' writing, I'm eager to see what you do.)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

casestory is getting the casefic, as it happens. If you're interested in what I do in terms of Big Bangs, I've written two before this that are published:

Nihil Inherit, which was last year's contribution to the spn_j2_bigbang.

The Bird That Feels The Light, which was written for the deancasbigbang.

Neither of those are casefics, though. I wrote a casefic for the Reverse Big Bang, though, as well as for spn_summergen, if that's what you're interested in specifically. Mind you, I'm not the be-all and end-all of casefic writers. There are a few out there who are VERY good at it. I've always been better at h/c. :)

[pinkphoenix1985.livejournal.com]

Sorry that this is late but RL managed to drop in on me :P

I don't know how you're doing it. I'm having trouble just having the one big bang. (Thanks again for the help recently!!)

Wow SPN 10 sounds intriguing! I haven't seen a lot of soulless!Sam fics so this has me interested. Btw I'm also writing a fic with soulless Sam XD what a coincidence!

Oh having Danny and Dean mouthing off to each other would be so great to read. I can also imagine how Steve and Dean would be all geeky over the different weaponry, etc with Sam and Danny sharing a knowing look.

H50 #3- sounds brilliant! I can imagine how Steve would be reacting to Danny being hold hostage!

Good luck with all of them!! :D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Hah, no worries. RL is kicking my ass as well.

I really hope I can get to all of them in time! I am having fun with H50 for sure. :)

[la-mariane.livejournal.com]

You know you want to work on Roses in December ... *pushy reader is pushy*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

It's getting worked on, I swear! It's one of the stories I have that I find the hardest to work on because I really want to get it *right* and so the installments take longer to produce than my other fic. But I love my story and it WILL get finished, I promise. :)

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

oo! Some nice little teasers in there! Write! Write! :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*writes furiously*

I've actually had a lousy writing week, but I'm trying to get back into the saddle and get these things going again.

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know how that goes. I'm supposed to write a paper because I attended a storytelling conference for college credit. It's been 20 years, and this paper is NOT COMING EASILY. *sigh*

[honeylocusttree.livejournal.com]

You know I want more alcoholic!Dean. ;)

*makes with the Bambi eyes*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Heh. It's getting worked on. :)

[shinysylver.livejournal.com]

H50 near-drowning sounds like a story I could get behind as I have a deep desire to see some mouth to mouth action. Any early details?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yup!

It's about 20k right now (God help me) and still not done. The near-drowning happens early on, and it's actually another shameless h/c fic with Danny developing pneumonia, Steve taking care of him, and then eventually there will be feeeeeliiiings. ;)

Mostly I have a thing for respiratory distress. I make no apologies. :D

[shinysylver.livejournal.com]

I make no apologies.

As well you shouldn't. :)

It sounds right up my alley and I love a good long fic. There just aren't enough in H50 yet. I'll be looking forward to it. :)

[saschi212.livejournal.com]

Please don't apologize. This sounds like everything I've ever wanted.

[nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com]

MOAR FUSION \o/ And by the way, the inner librarian in me is SQUEE-ing like mad over how you name your files....

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

There will be more Fusion. I'm toying with a hazy idea right now for a charity fic I need to write, but it's hazy, like I said.

What is it about the way I name my files that makes you squee? I name them mostly so I can remember what the hell it is I was trying to write about at the time. (You should see my folder names: everything gets categorizes, divided and subdivided to within an inch of its life!)

[nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com]

Mostly it's just the very specific name and using underscores (Can't tell you how many times I got that lecture in class and I still insist on using spaces...) And wow... your folders will probably make me smish you...

[nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com]

Also? What iz # 12? I'm assuming it has to do with psychic Pamela from S4...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yes it does! It's a plot bunny more than a WIP at this point, that I got while I was at L.A. Con. It's about Pamela's first love and her beginnings as a psychic.

[nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com]

\o/ PAMELA WAS AWESOME! Erratic, but awesome...

[4422shini.livejournal.com]

Holy crap! I have 4 WIP's and I thought that was a lot!

What's the MS!Sam about? I'm guessing he has MS? Can we see a sneak peek? Pleeeeease? :D

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was reading it as Mystery Spot Sam. Maybe Mystery Spot Sam with MS?

[nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com]

I was reading it as Multiple Sclerosis -- the disease.

Miss ratherastory, could you please clarify?

[4422shini.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I assumed Multiple Sclerosis.

LOL! I never thought MS could stand for mystery spot. I think I immediately went for hurt!Sam and was saying, 'yaaaaaaay!'

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I think I immediately went for hurt!Sam and was saying, 'yaaaaaaay!'

How well you know me. ;)

[4422shini.livejournal.com]

Heh, it's true. Well I'm glad it's MS, and not Mystery Spot. That story line is a bit over done in my opinion...

Hmm, I'm not a fan of wincest, but I will read it if the storyline is promising. So I hope you end up writing this fic! :D

Thanks for answering our questions!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

My pleasure! That's what the meme is for. ;)

Although I personally can't get enough Mystery Spot fics, but that's just me.

The wincest really won't be the main focus, I don't think. Besides, when I write sex it's never really about the sex... ;)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yep, the disease, not the Mystery Spot.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

No Mystery Spot, alas. It's the disease. :)

On the plus side, this will likely be my very first Wincest fic, so I'm thinking you might enjoy it anyway.

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

I will add it to my list of things to be excited about, along with radioactive!Sam, which I desire with a burning passion.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not so much radioactive!Sam as it is radiation!poisoning!Sam, but yes. I'm excited too! \o/

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

He does have MS. It's a plot bunny that's nagging me at the back of my head and only has a couple of sentences so far which will probably never see the light of day.

It also tells me that it wants to be a Wincest story, which is a line I personally thought I would never cross, but since fandom has had me saunter gleefully over every single boundary I thought I had, I can't say I'm surprised. :P

The Wincest is definitely not going to be the focus of the story, though. The basic idea is that Sam and Dean have been apart for a very long time, and Dean happens across Sam by accident, in a town where Sam has apparently settled down. The usual "You left and never called" argument happens, Dean storms off, only to realize that Sam never followed him, and never even stood up from where he was sitting. Cue revelation, and a sort of kind of curtain!fic, maybe.

That's about all I've got so far.

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

I can't tell which one is mine! Is it because it's already done, not a WIP? Is it because you haven't started? Is it because I suck at guessing?

And P.S. I flew to Boston this week to help my sister who fell on the ice and broke her hip in 9 places. And on the plane I picked up my iPod to listen to whatever podfic I happened to have handy, and it was WillYouServe! 'verse. It was awesome to hear your reading: you were great! (And the fic subject matter was uncanny!)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Damn, your poor sister. Hip injuries are terrible. :(


Your fic is actually NOT in that list, though I have been giving it a lot of thought. It doesn't have an open document for it yet. I'm toying with a Fusion!'verse story for you, but it hasn't quite come together in my head yet. I am optimistic about it, though. :)

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

Take your time! You're clearly working on lots of other fics I can enjoy in the meantime! (Plus - I may not even have internet access the first 2-3 weeks in March, so no rush to finish mine in that time frame. And *squee* about the Fusion!verse possibility - it was my first choice!)

I have two WIPs, myself. The first is loosely titled The Great Escape, and the second, like this charity fic of yours, is in a folder only in my brain.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yay for WIPs!

I'm sending you an email now, actually. :)

[werty30.livejournal.com]

Yay, so many cool ideas! A whole BigBang of radioactively poisoned Sam, and you keep mentioning J2 and Wincest, that`s exciting.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Hee!

It is exciting! I'm excited. :)
