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!

word count on the go:

(Some special symbols or html marks will screw it up, though.)

And CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

Nice! Congrats!

What's this summergen you speak of? *shifts eyes* sounds fascinating.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

That would be the summergen exchange:

It's gen only, though. No sexytiemz. ;)


And thank you!

*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*

[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. :)

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

Sounds awesome actually, but I'm still nervous and shy about writing to a deadline. Maybe eventually I'll try something like this.

Thanks for the info. Have a good night at work! And again, congrats. You rock!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Whoo hoo! Yay! Great job! Summergen, huh? Sounds interesting!

[klutzy-girl.livejournal.com]

Yay! I knew you could do it! Congratulations!

[fuzzytale.livejournal.com]

Woo for being done!

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.

[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]

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*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

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

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And yeah, summergen is pretty exciting!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I am ridiculously relieved.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Woo indeed!

[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!

[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]

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

[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".

[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]

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