Writing is hard!

My shoulder recovered enough for me to start writing again in earnest, and so now I have spent the last two days working on a fic that's due for an exchange on the same day as the original Reverse Big Bang challenge. I'm hoping to have that done and out of the way by tonight, so that I can concentrate on the RBB all this weekend, and have something useful for my artist by Sunday night. The prompts I had were... umm... vague. Still, I think I've come up with something that will make my recipient happy while making me happy too. This is only the second time I've ever attempted writing Gabriel, and it's harder than I imagined. It's hard not writing him as a total caricature, especially since I'm attempting a more lighthearted fic. No, I swear, there's very little angst so far! Really!

This has been the weirdest, most random week ever. I don't even know where to start. There was overtime, and night shift, and stupid goddamn work politics that I want no part of and yet that keep landing in my lap because I'm trying to be freakin' Switzerland. Okay, so I'm a really snarky, opinionated Switzerland, but still. Being easy to talk to is a curse. Feh.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back in the writing saddle, so to speak. I feel bad that I haven't been able to write anything for the sharp_teeth meme, but hopefully once I've done the RBB I'll be able to devote some time to it. I'm hoping that it'll still be going strong around Hallowe'en.

I keep telling myself that I should give myself a one-month hiatus from all writing obligations, but then I look at my calendar and realize I've already committed to stuff all the way into January. *sigh* Oh, fandom, the things I do for the love of you. ;)

Beta request

Okay, folks. I am cutting this very close to the wire, especially since I haven't finished writing this thing yet.

Is anyone out there willing to do a quick beta of a fic of mine for the Team Free Love Secret Lovers' Exchange? It's basically a mostly lighthearted Dean-Sam-Cas-Gabe fic, based in early Season 6.

From the looks of it, it'll be around 5,000 words, and I just need someone to make sure it's readable and not a complete pile of dreck. I'm going to try to finish it tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest, and I'd send it right after.

The catch? I'd need it back Monday morning at the latest. *cringes* Sorry.

Anyone willing to help a gal out?

6.05 Episode reaction.

You know the drill by now, yes? Below the cut are spoilers and a lot of capslocking. :)

( Oh, Show, you bad thing, you! )
