Rather a Story

A few things:

1- Just got my BB confirmation email. Yay!

2- CANADIANS, GET YOUR BUTTS OUT THERE AND VOTE!

3- It's Sam's birthday! Now that Big Bang panic is over, everyone head on over to the comment-fic meme at ohsam and write comment-fic in order to detox! You know you want to. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMMY!

We're celebrating by inflicting pain and suffering on our boy! Because we are sick and twisted and wouldn't have it any other way. ;)






*goes back to frantically writing her Big Bang*

Come celebrate with us by committing comment-fic!



Oh, and feel free to spread the love!

Title: I My Loved Ones Watch Am Keeping
Prompt/Summary: From the hoodie_time Dean-focused h/c comment-fic meme, for a prompt by the lovely and talented nwspaprtaxis, which went thus: Dean went to Hell and was hauled out of Perdition only to be turned into a 4/5-year-old version of himself. Cut for length, because it was a prompt to rival rainylemons for length, but the original can be found here.
Characters: Sam, Dean, Ocs
Rating: PG-13 for language
Wordcount: 2,826
Disclaimer: If I had a wee!Dean of my own, I would not be sharing.
Warnings: Mild Season 4 spoilers, nothing else. Sick kid. Lots and lots of schmoop. Possibly diabetic-coma-inducing.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Written really fast and unbeta'd. Read at your own risk.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I didn't quite fill the prompt. It became less about post-hell!Dean, and more about wee!sick!Dean, but there are a few hints about that in the story.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: wee!sick!Dean is apparently my kryptonite. People who've read my Dean/Cas Big Bang will remember that I've already given Dean the croup before. I am a mean, heartless bitch. Poor Dean. They should confiscate him from me, because I clearly should not be allowed anywhere near him.
Neurotic Author's Note #4: Title is from the Welsh lullaby “All Through The Night.”

Title: Wake Me Up Inside
Prompt/Summary: Sam gets his soul back, and Dean is afraid. Written for the Hug Time Now comment-fic meme. Original prompt by the lovely and talented kate_mct can be found here.
Characters: Dean, Sam, Bobby
Rating: PG13
Wordcount: 2,379
Disclaimer: This is the very true story of how Sam Winchester might have gotten his soul back. Except that it never happened, which makes it fiction, and thus not real.
Warnings: Swearing. Aaaaaaaaaaangst! And manpain! Spoilers up to 6.11.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Okay, so the prompt asked for schmoop and cuddles, and instead poor kate_mct got angst and tears. But there is a hug, so I guess all isn't lost.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Comment-fic. No beta, no nothing. You know the drill. Please be forgiving of typos and occasionally wacky syntax.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: I'm sorry about the title. Truly. But it works in this context, I swear! No, I promise. Plus, I like the song. (Shh!)

( Wake Me Up Inside )

Okay everyone!

It's my birthday ! I am stuck at work, on a night shift, and I am sick. I think my birthday needs to be a lot more awesome than this, so I declare an impromptu comment-fic meme!

It's my LJ, so you guys know what I like. SPN, h/c, all that. BUT! If you have other fandoms you want to include, RPF, crossovers, whatever, then have at it!

Ground rules:

HAVE FUN!

Prompt as many times as you want! One prompt per comment. In the subject line specify the fandom and whatever else you want.

Please write to as many prompts as you want! Multiple fills per prompt are encouraged. Reply to the original prompt, and if you need multiple comment-boxes for your reply, please reply to the previous comment to keep linking simple. In the subject line write FILLED: [Your Title] and applicable warnings.

I will, naturally, compile a master list as we go.

lelaro: Sam teaches Dean about social networking.

pedal_blur: The boys hole up at Bobby's while Dean is sick. Sam pitches in to help around the house.

claudia_priscus: Sam help takes care of Bobby's zombie bunny problem.

wrath_n_raiths: Doc Benton succeeds in putting out Sam's eye.

mercuryblue144: Sam 'n' Dean try to fit on a twin bed, with dubious results.

harrigan: Pillow Talk. Or, Sam teaches Dean something. :)

ratherastory: The guys wrap up a case, and Danny finds out that Steve's been hiding an injury, all the while he's been running around and fighting like a ninja. He yells at Steve and takes care of him at the same time.

THERE IS COMMENT-FIC HAPPENING AND I CAN'T PARTICIPATE!

*cries*

I am way behind on my reverse big bang. I'm plugging away steadily at it, but I'm behind.

I'm also officially late on my Secret Lovers' Exchange. claudiapriscus is a rockstar who beta'd it overnight, but she pointed out (quite rightly) some serious structural issues with it that need to be rectified. The poor fic needs major surgery, so I'll be doing that tonight when I get home.

Anyway, there is comment-fic happening at hoodie_time and sharp_teeth. I task ALL OF YOU to go participate so that I can live through you vicariously, okay?

Then, when I have fulfilled my obligations, I am going to SWAN DIVE into the comment-fic. \o/

My shoulder recovered enough for me to start writing again in earnest, and so now I have spent the last two days working on a fic that's due for an exchange on the same day as the original Reverse Big Bang challenge. I'm hoping to have that done and out of the way by tonight, so that I can concentrate on the RBB all this weekend, and have something useful for my artist by Sunday night. The prompts I had were... umm... vague. Still, I think I've come up with something that will make my recipient happy while making me happy too. This is only the second time I've ever attempted writing Gabriel, and it's harder than I imagined. It's hard not writing him as a total caricature, especially since I'm attempting a more lighthearted fic. No, I swear, there's very little angst so far! Really!

This has been the weirdest, most random week ever. I don't even know where to start. There was overtime, and night shift, and stupid goddamn work politics that I want no part of and yet that keep landing in my lap because I'm trying to be freakin' Switzerland. Okay, so I'm a really snarky, opinionated Switzerland, but still. Being easy to talk to is a curse. Feh.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back in the writing saddle, so to speak. I feel bad that I haven't been able to write anything for the sharp_teeth meme, but hopefully once I've done the RBB I'll be able to devote some time to it. I'm hoping that it'll still be going strong around Hallowe'en.

I keep telling myself that I should give myself a one-month hiatus from all writing obligations, but then I look at my calendar and realize I've already committed to stuff all the way into January. *sigh* Oh, fandom, the things I do for the love of you. ;)

IT'S BACK!

I don't have time for a comment-fic meme, but when has that ever stopped me? \o/
