What a way to spend the hiatus

[ratherastory]

Apparently the way to survive six weeks without new episodes of Supernatural is to find comment-fic memes and write like there's no tomorrow!

\o/


The comment-fic meme at ohsam is still going. We have 23 stories, but LOTS and LOTS of prompts still going begging. Fangirls, to your keyboards! ;)

Speaking of which, the multi-fandom horror comment-fic meme over at sharp_teeth is EATING MY BRAIN. I haven't even answered any of the zombie prompts.

I am rediscovering my love for horror, after not writing any of it since the Zombie Novel of '06. (Okay, there was an abortive attempt last November, but the less said about that the better)

In related news, werty30 has given me my new favourite phrase of the day, possibly even the week or the year, concerning my writing: "Restorative crucifixion schmoop." How awesome is that? Even if it was ironic, I love the wording. It's very reminiscent of the Show itself. *bounces*

In other, only slightly-related news, I am working night shift and I am kind of brain dead and I've been leaving nonsense comments in people's LJs. It's a little sad, but luckily also hilarious. You'll have to forgive all my blond moments, because my attention span is SHOT and it's a miracle I know what day it is, let alone remember to whom I'm speaking at any given time.

LOOKIT THE SHINY NEW COMM!

Go Team Free Will!

The Spn stuff should thank us for lifting the fandom's spirit during this hiatus from hell!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

They SHOULD!

They won't though, mean ungrateful bastards.

Also, from what I've heard about the upcoming episodes, they're easing us back from hiatus by ripping our hearts out of our ribcages and lovingly stomping them into the ground.

Why do we do this to ourselves again?

[animotus.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare spoiling me!!!!!!!!!!
But....I had a feeling they were going to do that!*sighs*
And we SO LOVE to do this to ourselves!!!!!!!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

No no no, I am VERY CAREFUL about spoilers. Someone once spoiled me for CSI, and I was SO PISSED.

Let's just say we're going to be on fandom-wide suicide watch, from the sounds of it. I don't have major spoilers, just enough to know that it's going to HURT.

[animotus.livejournal.com]

Thank you!:D

I'm scared and excited at the same time!And this show should be studied as a phenomenon at school,they give us funny episodes and we're pissed because we want ANGST!They break our hearts....and we are sickly happy!*shakes head*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Hee! True!

I remember being annoyed that they never followed up on "And I think I have asthma," from "Swap Meat." :P

[animotus.livejournal.com]

Ohhh,so many wasted pretty things!!!!!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I was all "WHERE IS THE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS, DAMN YOU?!?"

Until I realized just how wrong that was. Then I said it quietly instead of yelling at the TV. ;)

[animotus.livejournal.com]

YES to yelling!!!Just think about the scene at the end of Jump the Shark,Sammy bleeding all over the place and I was all....YESYESYES,finally we will have a h/c scene....and then NOTHING!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!

Thank God for fanfic codas with blood loss and all that. I was waiting for Dean to get his act together and, I dunno, pet Sammy or at least half-carry him back to the Impala or something.

*cries*

[animotus.livejournal.com]

YES,just...I mean...something!!!!*cries*
But we have time,I'm hoping for something in the future!*grabby hands*

Time to go to bed hon!It was nice to talk to you,next time we use some kind of chat,it'll be easier!;D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Uh, yes. I'm so rarely on any kind of chat I keep forgetting they exist. Let me know which one you use and we'll figure something out.

I have to go to work now. Bleah.

Sleep well!

[animotus.livejournal.com]

When I'm enough awake...I'm going to talk to you about the magic of chats!:P

Have a good day/night at work!:P

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

Commentfic memes are gonna be the death of me, I swear. D:

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

You and me both!

I should be working on my BigBang, but NOOOOO, I went and wrote 10,000 words' worth of comment fic.

Christ.

This fandom is going to KILL ME.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

I SUSPECT I AM ALREADY DEAD. call the winchesters and have them salt and burn my corpse.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I am going to hell, because the first thing that popped into my mind was "They can come salt and burn my corpse anytime they want."

I am going to hell. Repeatedly.

I don't even really like men in that way.

*shakes fist at fandom*

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Dean? Yeah, it's me! I think my bed is haunted. You should come check it out. Bring the handcuffs."

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

ROFL

"Oh, bring Sam with you. As back-up. Y'know. Just in case."

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

The sharp_teeth meme is beginning to eat my brain, too. I promised myself I'd prompt, but not fill. I think I'm about to default. *Frowns* don't have time to write other fics.

You should not have turned me on to that brilliant community. I believe I am forever lost. Horror is my favorite genre. *Sigh* No, really, I'm glad you pointed me toward sharp_teeth. It's awesome!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

*Fill a prompt or two, you've got time!* Shamelessly shoves you toward the horror meme. The Cask of Amontillado by the way? Freakin' brilliant! Haven't read the story in years, but your prompt is eating my brain!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

You should go write it! It's trying to eat my brain too, and if I'm not careful I could see it turning into a casefic, and I don't have time for that sort of nonsense!

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

All this eating of brains. I think there are zombies about. Lol!

Oh, and yeah. Casefics are good!

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

You are quite shameless! But in an awesome way!

Please, pretty please write the Amontillado fic? . I would be extremely happy if you would.

P.S. I was thinking of the Tell-Tale Heart as well. Gotta love Poe.

Now, go write Sammy being buried alive...brick by brick. You know you want to!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I regret NOTHING.

Go write! Go write lots of stuff!

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

Lol! We'll see. Unfortunately, the prompt I wanted to write seems to have disappeared. The horror! The horror!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

WRITE IT ANYWAY!

I'm sure it's just buried in the comments somewhere on the page.

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

I hate that horror comment fic meme. There are so many prompts I want to respond to. And I indulged in one little one, and now it wants to turn into a whole story. So I have another open document on my desktop.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

WOOHOOHOO!

That is ridiculously good news! Which prompt is it? Inquiring minds want to know!

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

The Supernatural/Dexter one. I saw it, and it ate my brain.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

BRILLIANT! I saw that one too and was hoping somebody would write it. Isn't it just begging to be turned into a casefic?

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. But for some reason, I feel utterly compelled to completely write it from Dexter's point of view. (I can't help it! They boys are guaranteed to come back from the dead. That seems like the sort of thing that dexter would find vexing!)

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

This sounds totally cool! Dexter might end up recruiting them if they come back from the dead.

"Pardon me, would you go scare the shit out of him so that I may kill him?" Raised eyebrow.

Lol!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you see it that way! I would totally write if from Dexter's POV, too. He's such an amusing narrator. :)

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

The horror prompt meme is AWESOME! Creepy, eerie just plain scary fics. I love them so. And there are SO many I want to write, but so little time. The one I have filled so far wants to turn into something bigger damn it. I'm so glad I didn't do BigBang. Because I would never finish it and now I have time to write comment fic. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go to ohsam and fill a prompt or two there.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, God. I am neglecting my BigBang in favour of all these lovely prompts. *sigh*

YES! Go fill prompts at ohsam. Some of yours are still staring at me in a really creepy way, so I might have to write those too.

God, I'm DOOMED.

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

You are not doomed. There's plenty of time left for Big Bang. May right? You'll do great. Off to find some mean to Sam prompt to fill. Because I've got 8 days 'til my hoodietime prompt fic is due and it's not done yet, so hey, comment fic!

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

I haven't had a whole lot of time to read anything, but I'm dying to read your comment fic for the horror meme. Can't wait.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Procrastination is an art form.

[werty30.livejournal.com]

Oh you fluffy little schmoopster. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

You totally made my day. \o/
