Stick a fork in me...

I'm done. I'm at work, so no useful wordcount, but I'll edit this post tomorrow with the wordcount meter. The end is rushed and needs re-working, but BY GOD, I FINISHED!

Aaaand I promptly signed up for summergen. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

I need alcohol. Alas, I am at work, and alcohol on the job is generally frowned upon. Will have a fizzy drink instead.

In other news: WOOHOOHOO!


:::ETA:::

All righty. Wordcount meter time! Current total stands at 69,718. This number will likely be very different when it comes to the final draft.

68718 / 68000 words. 101% done!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

and yeah, I'll probably sign up for summergen, too. Which . . . I've never done before. Won't THAT be interesting?

Fizzy drink, FTW!

*does a little dance*

Yay summergen!

I noticed that the summergen posts aren't anonymous. I wonder if that means we get to know who is writing our fic for us, too,.

*waffles anxiously*

[bellatemple]

I think maybe just the prompts are public? Which is a little odd, I almost wonder if they forgot to screen comments.

I think I backed out of doing summergen last year because I was afraid of trying to come up with three prompts (without trying to write them myself). This year, I even gathered prompts in my head in preparation! Now I can't remember what they were/worry they're pretentious!

Asking for an apocalypse based on a South African indie song lyric isn't pretentious, right?

Er.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

I'm sure it's fine. :D

I *suck* at prompts. I love getting them, can never think of prompts to give, because that's NEVER how I write my own stories.

My own stories come to me as either first or last sentences of the fic, or, more rarely, a single line of dialogue.

Yes, I'm a freak. *shrug*

[bellatemple]

I've decided to keep "So you swear you just saw a feathery woman carry a blindfolded man through the streets" to myself to work with. *is greedy*

Okay, I've got four fic prompts, an art prompt, and a vid prompt:

1. [Fic] Crossover with Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, either book or miniseries -- Dean (with or without Sam) gets lost in the world Below
2. [Fic] "Six thousand years, six billion people, six days in the back of your mind!" -- Molalatladi by BLK JKS
The Apocalypse, Winchester style
3. [Fic] Double amputee Dean ala Aimee Mullins (I know, I ask for all the easy stuff, right?)
4. [Fic] Pre-Abandon All Hope, how Jo, Ellen, Rufus, and any other hunters with no crazy destiny handled going up against seals, omens, and the Apocalypse
5. [Art] Banner/wallpaper/whathaveyou: postcard(s) from Americana. Sam and Dean (and/or Castiel) end up actually visiting some road side attractions while hunting spooks.
6. [Vid] Supernatural set to They Might Be Giants. I'm not really particular about which TMBG song, though something off the Dial-A-Song compilation album would be sweet.

One of those might get swapped out for my "Dean's hunting injuries draw too much attention -- from a teacher who's a witch and not interested in contacting CPS"

Also, roque_clasique's 3rd prompt made me laugh like a freak.

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Jeez! I'd write the Neverwhere one for you too! I'm definitely signing up!

[bellatemple]

That one totally came from looking at my DVDs going "what crossovers could I write?" and then going "OMG SOMEONE NEEDS TO WRITE THIS".

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Hell, I'd write that too! Now I need to re-read Neverwhere...

[bellatemple]

Oh great, now I feel bad about prompting it.

You couldnt' all pile onto the Aimee Mullins thing? ;D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I can't weigh in on that until I'm at home and can peruse links with impunity. Let me get back to you on that. ;)

[bellatemple]

*salutes*

That one is off the roster for prompting at Summergen -- partially because I totes want the excuse to further research Aimee Mullins.

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Maybe? And if whoever gets you in the exchange doesn't do Neverwhere, you might just get a few different takes on it afterwards!

[bellatemple]

Clearly.

It's done been prompted, yo. Woo!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Neverwhere is one of my favorite books ever and I saw the DVD a few years ago. A crossover with SPN would totally rock!

[bellatemple]

Plus, you could easily get away with just using the Neverwhere universe, since getting the boys to London would be weird.

Though Hunter did mention fighting off alligators in New York Below. . . .

[bellatemple]

Can one of my prompts be "look, just beat the crap out of Dean for awhile, then let him push himself painfully to his feet and blow the crap-beater away, okay?"

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

There are in fact prompts that closely resemble that. I think you're safe. ;)

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

I love that prompt! Awesome!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

I'd write that one for you! I may have to go there and sign up!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Except I really suck at prompts too. Oh, well, two weeks to think of some, right?

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they don't have to be too long and involved. You could definitely come up with a few. I'd love it if you wrote that fic. *Grabs pom-poms* YIPPEE!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO!

*dances some more*

I'm still enjoying the NRE of being new to fandom, so I'm jumping in whenever I see challenges and the like, just for the hell of it. :)
