I think I may be suicidal

Is it really crazy of me to think that spn_j2_bigbang sounds like a fantastic idea?

I've done spn_j2_bigbang for two years running. Both years I freaked out, both years I changed fics in, like, early April, both years I thought I was insane . . . and both years it was awesome.

Can't hurt to try!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I'm doomed. Then again, I've done NaNoWriMo successfully for years, so why should this be any different, right?

[bellatemple]

Dude, this gives you much more time with a much lower word count. And art!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

True, but no one requires that a NaNo work be finished: it just has to hit 50K. It's also allowed to suck. ;)

Art is a pretty awesome motivator, though.

I'M DOING IT YOU SHOULD TOO.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

You are?!?

BOOYAH! *does a dance of joy*


Do they take anyone, or do I have to somehow qualify? (I am looking over the community now and can't find anything specific...)

[lelaro.livejournal.com]

do it!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It's looking dangerously like I might just do that.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? :P

[animotus.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!!!
You must sign-up!You will surely freak out and get depressed and then get all excited and all that jazz,but it's an awesome experience!!!I did it last year as a graphic maker and I can assure it is FUN!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

I'm almost sold. I'm waiting for wendy to make that post she promised on Monday, because I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to sign up. If I'm not, well, it's not like I won't be writing fic in the meantime. ;)

Thanks for the encouragement!

[animotus.livejournal.com]

You're cracking me up!:P
You're not allowed uh?There's no such thing like "qualified/not qualified" bb,anyone can sign up!And you are a very good writer so don't even think about having doubts!On monday,when the post is ready,you go and sign up,you just have to be prepared about what you wanna write,Gen or J2 or whatever!;D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Hey, how am I supposed to know? :D

wendy replied to my friendly query with "wait for Monday when we'll post the rules," so I was being good and waiting!

Knowing me, it'll be gen. Writing sex scenes frightens me. ;)

I think whatever you write will be fantastic. So, you must. And 20k? Pft. I know you can write 8 in a day without blinking. You'll have oodles of time. Might require something of an epic story, though. Something with teeth.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I have two ideas rattling around in my head for that, actually. (I can do 8K in a day, yes, but only if I have the whole day off, am really inspired, and have a LOT of of coffee. NaNoWriMo is more my speed: 1,500 to 2,000 words a day is my usual limit)

The first idea is a riff off of Dante's Inferno, and the other is that Five Years That Never Happened that's been kicking around in my head.

So, yeah. I think it can be done. :)

Thanks for the encouragement!

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's easier to kick it out when you're really feeling it, that's for sure. But this time frame seems really workable. I say if it fits in with your schedule and what you've going on, go for it!

Both ideas would rock. You know how I'm partial to the five years in question, so I won't comment!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Yeah. Part of me really wants to write those five years, but so far they're rattling around in my head in the form of vignettes, so I'm not sure it'll work. I'm going to write it no matter what, though.

Actually, your cave prompt might end up being promising, depending on which way I take it.

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

DO EEEEEEEEEEEEET! *rapid-fire poking*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

So far people seem pretty adamant that I sign up. I'm just waiting for confirmation from wendy that I am indeed allowed to sign up. :)

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

No, no, no, absolutely anyone can join! It's an open challenge. Plus, you can drop out if the pressure's getting to ya. Not that I'll let you. <3

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

Go for it! You and your fics are awesome! Can't wait to see what you do with the bigbang. No pressure or anything ;-)

If you need a sounding board, feel free to give me a holler!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will probably take you up on that. Luckily people seem to be excited about my potentially participating. :D

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

I'm with the people who say you should totally do this. Of course, I have no idea what the bigbang actually entails, other than that it provides me with all sorts of amazing stories to read. I think the missing five years story would be awesome for this. Go for it!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

You people are all shameless enablers, you know that? ;)

As far as I can tell, bigbang is a challenge to produce a story of a minimum of 20,000 words by the month of May. Then an artist picks your story (you hope) and produces art to go with it.

It's pretty exciting, all told.

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

I see you were the very first one to sign up for the bigbang! LOL. I guess you ARE pretty excited about this. It sounds like a lot of fun. If I can come up with an epic storyline, I may give it a try myself.
