Why do I do this to myself?

[ratherastory]

I think I may be a little bit in love with podficcing, now that I've dipped one toe into the water.

I totally don't have time for another major psychotic obsession. I really don't.

...

Who am I kidding, right? It's a good thing I love all this. :D

If I ever do make it into the RCMP, I am going to go through serious fandom withdrawal when I go for my six months of training. Egads.

Woman, I don't know how you keep all of your balls in the air. Er, wait... ANYWAY, more podfic is grand. As for withdrawal from fandom, we'll just have to send off with an ereader loaded with fic.

YAY! I thought you did a great job and I can't wait for more. I feel I've run through all the SPN podfic currently archived, so I'm going to enable the hell out of you.

RCMP?! FULL COOL! ::thinks dreamily of Fraser/Thatcher UST and Fraser/Kowalski hoyay::

Alas, I look NOTHING like Paul Gross. ;)

That's a LOT of podfic to go through! I am impressed.

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

But maybe all the guys will. (Hey, a girl can dream!)

I'm a civilian member of the RCMP. We have a lot of pretty good-looking guys, but most of them fall short of the Paul Gross Standard of Pretty™. ;)

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, that's a pretty high standard. Falling short is still worth an honorable mention.

You're going to go through withdrawal? What about the rest of us? What will we do without our fix from our ridiculously prolific resident genius?


You'll be off having adventures and doing awesome stuff...you'll not even miss it, I'm sure ;)

*blushes crimson*

*basks shamelessly in the glow of your praise*

I'll totally miss it. Hell, I think about it during my workdays, that's how badly I'm hooked!

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

It's awful, isn't it?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Horrendous.

I love it. :D

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* me too.

You can't be a supernatural fan and go through RCMP training? No computers? No paper and pen? No e-mails? REALLY???

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It's six months of training at a facility in Saskatchewan.

There *are* computers, but the days are VERY long and it's super, super intensive. So much so that everyone I've talked to who's gone through it says you can barely make it through your days, let alone find the time to email your friends and family more than a couple of times a week.

There's also a line-up for the few computers that have internet access. So it tends to be a bare-minimum kind of thing.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? I may not even be able to watch the show during that time! *wails*

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

You take a pen, and some paper, and you write down all of your ideas and send us a message when you can. This is your dream, and it will be worth it.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. I mean, I love fandom and all you guys, but it's just six months, and it's what I really want to do with my life. :)

Six months?!

*brb...sobbing*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Don't cry, bb! I'm still only starting the application process. It'll be minimum a year before that becomes an issue. :)

*sniffles and clings* 'kay...

(RCMP? That's pretty fucking awesome BTW...I should have said that earlier but I was too busy being a moo-face because your life choices ARE ALL ABOUT MEEEEE obviously.)
