Open letter to self

[ratherastory]

Dear Self,

Seriously, if you're going to write today, write your BigBang. Do NOT go and poke at ohsam and sharp_teeth for prompts.

*sigh*

No love,

Me

Dude, you're like a writing MACHINE lately; I can't keep up! ;D

Yay, BigBang! So many authors I love are doing it this year, yourself included, obvs.

Swear to God, Supernatural is eating. my. brain. It won't leave me alone and it keeps making me write.

I really don't get it, but hey, after years of writer's block, I am NOT complaining.

\o/

Send this letter to me, too, only switch ohsam and sharp_teeth with the Gabriel Kink Meme that has taken over my life, and tack on that I also need to work on help_haiti and pledge_a_thon stuff. *epic headdesk*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yes! Do as I say, not as I do, and go work on your writing commitments!

[morganoconner.livejournal.com]

But...but...so many good prompts... (Three of which I have bookmarked, one of which I'm already over 1000 words into.) *FACEPALM*

EVIL!!!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know. Trust me, I feel your pain.

The worst part is that about half the prompts I want are all by pkwench. I swear, it's like she has sole access to the big red button that says "GO WRITE NOW, DAPHNE. RIGHT THIS MINUTE!"

I need to not look at the memes anymore, but they're so awesome!

*tries to resist*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Huh. LJ ate my reply.

Anyway, I was waxing eloquent about how I feel your pain, because there are so many awesome prompts. The worst for me is that about half of the ones I want were all prompted by pkwench, who appears to have sole access to that big red button that says "GO WRITE NOW, DAPHNE! RIGHT THIS MINUTE!"

Sheesh.

*glares at BigBang text*

[morganoconner.livejournal.com]

I know! I keep finding these prompts that are like "OH MY GOD MORGAN, THAT IS FOR YOU, RIGHT NOW!". And when I'm not staring at the ones I want to write, I'm reading the awesome responses from other people. GAH!

*pets abandoned bigbang*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I didn't even bother mentioning the giant maelstrom of time-suck that is reading all the other awesome fiction that's coming out of the memes.

I'm never going to get anything else done at this rate. :P

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

You see, I'm torn on this issue. Part of me wants to say, now, Daphne, you BigBang will be a thing of glory and you should work on it. However, the other part of me is a little more wicked and would like to remind you that you write at the speed of light and one or two more days writing comment fic won't set you back hardly at all. Plus, well, when the prompts in quesiton are mine I feel ever so pleased! :p

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Your prompts are far too awesome to pass up. Jesus, woman, it's like to have a direct inroad into what makes my brain go "WRITE! WRITE! GO DO IT NOW!"

How the hell do you do it?

I still have a couple of months to write my BigBang, right? ;)

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

I'm a career daydreamer - ideas just happen. LOL And since I can't use but a fraction of them, prompting serves me well. I swear, I'm convinced that when I'm out of school and the show's over that I won't have any more ideas.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

That vampire apocalypse fic I wrote? I have acquired a co-writer and a sequel that is probably going to be at least ten thousand words long.

DAMN YOU FANDOMMMMMMMMMM

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Ha ha haaah!

*points and mocks*

Oh, wait. Me too.

*cries*

Fandom has broken us irreparably, hasn't it?

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

You see and I'm in the exact opposite place today. "I have no commitments and plan on avoiding doing anything that requires me to put on a bra or leave the house ... I can traipse through the prompts and play and play and play!"

Oh, fandom. ♥

Whatever did you decide to do for your BigBang project anyway? Or is it super secret? :D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It's not super secret. I was all gung-ho and totally going to write the Five Years That Never Happened, when I had an epiphany on the bus.

So now I'm writing an AU to the end of Season 2. I don't know, I swear.

*headdesk*

I have to take the cat to the vet first, though.

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

Oooh. I'm intruiged!

Yes, yes. Tend to kitty.

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Is your cat okay!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

The kitty is fine, thank you for asking! She's getting over an upper respiratory thing, so today it was backto the vet for a check-up and another shot of antibiotics. :)

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Those memes want to eat my brain, too, but I so do NOT have time for more fic commitments this month!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

I'm not writing, I'm reading, and I need to STOP!!! And start writing. *Cries over prompts that I want to fill, but don't because I keep reading other writer's awesomeness.*
