Hi everybody. I'm sorry for the long silence; everybody who's left feedback for my fic that I haven't responded to: I'm truly apologetic and grateful that you've still said such nice things. And thank you,
estei , and
winterweathered , for asking after me, I'm sorry I fail at life and responding.
ANYWAY. To get depressing news out of the way, I ended up losing my job. But it's almost been a relief, because things at work were so frantic and panicky. I don't know. I've got a few leads on other things, and a couple interviews, but I hate the process of looking for a job. I was really looking forward to not doing this again, but, haha, I'm not entitled to job security anymore than anybody else is, so. Oh well. Gotta roll with the punches.
Also, I REALLY wanted to finish my story for Big Bang, but failed at that business, too. I thought if I gave up all fandom business except for writing, I could get that thing done, but no good. I'm paralyzed with it. I'll think about it on the drive home, and come up with all these scenarios and situations and bits of dialogue, and then when I sit down and reread the last paragraph so I'm in context, I freeze up. I'm committed to finishing it, though, and I guess the silver lining is that if I do soon, I can put it up without waiting until June.
Okay, hi! How have you guys been? I miss you, and missed you, a LOT.

Did anyone watch Kings?? Please say yes! It was so good! Um, definitely overreaching, sometimes? And the final image required a 100% buying into of the heavy-handedness and metaphorical weight, and even still there's a whiff of cheesiness, but, MAN. So ambitious and grand and INTERESTING. I had, like, three ideas for fic just watching the Pilot episode. I'm so thrilled.

Okay, I know I rec her stuff ALL THE TIME, and YES, it is only because she is my friend and I am hoping to get her to write me High School Musical RPS. I have a sick fascination, and DISNEY IS ALL THE RAGE NOWADAYS. ZANESSA, PLZ.
That is a bad summary. Mainly, this is the greatest story ever told about what would happen if everything in the universe was awesome. It might be one of my favorite things she's ever written. It's just incredibly SEXY; Jared is hot like fire: super confident of Jensen and flirtatious and funny. Jensen is shell-shocked the whole way through, managing to get off some sarcastic one-liners whilst swept along. It's romantic and sensual and hilarious. You should totally read it!
OKAY. It's pouring rain here. I'm going to get to that one meme, I promise. I'm just LAME and my big bang is at 10,000 words AND YET. Jared and Jensen aren't even FRIENDS. I'm unfamiliar with this thing you call progress.

Hi everyone! How's your Monday going? It is overwhelmingly rainy here and I also found out that my bank is nickel-and-diming me like no other. SIGH, SIGH.
Real quick, you should read this:
Real quick, you should read this:
title - If You Care To Stayrating - NC-17wordcount - ~14,000characters - Jared/Jensen, Chad/Sophia, Jensen/Misha, random other familiar faces.summary - Jensen's got a thing for his roommate... he just doesn't know which roommate.notes - Mywhenboymeetsboy fic, based on The Night We Never Met, an old Matthew Broderick movie. I appear to be the only person who's seen this movie, so, um, BLAME ANYTHING YOU DISLIKE ABOUT THIS STORY ON THE MOVIE. There may be a lot on that list. I'm not crazy about it myself. Also, this now has a soundtrack.
It's byhkath , and it's like, the whole reason
whenboymeetsboy was invented. A perfect little romantic comedy in fic form, where the boys are all adorably yuppies, and Jensen is a cheesemonger and Jared plays chess and builds planters! I have a thing for handy Jared! I have made him build planters in fic myself! It's super sweet, and fun, and just. All good things! And it's a super easy, fluid read. It makes me feel the way a really good episode of HIMYM makes me feel!
HAHA, okay this was a super weird rec, probably, but I liked the story a lot.

AU to the max. Written for
j2_everafter. Thank you to
light_up for making this the most fun I've ever had writing fic, and to
deirdre_c for making it the most rewarding. This would have been an incredibly different and lesser thing if it wasn't for you guys.
Based loosely on Disney/Pixar's Wall-E.
( So for those of you falling in love / Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right / Throw yourself in the midst of danger / But keep one eye open at night )Based loosely on Disney/Pixar's Wall-E.

AAAH. A REC:
Nisha is one of my favorite writers; she handles the guys expertly. Jared's in a post-breakup funk, with an adult kind of regret, and Jensen is brutally honest and unruffled by anything. Their relationship is hilarious and poignant and it comes together in fits and starts. Every bit of this is a joy. They're not in a bubble; they're two guys in the context of the world they live in, figuring out what's right for them.
ALSO, she is the QUEEN of memorable scenes set in BATHROOMS. READ ALL HER FIC.

destina . I hope it measures up. Jared has really broad shoulders. Jensen does, too. They're good to each other. A little schmoopy.
( At the end of the day, Jared follows Jensen to his trailer. They're quiet. It was long today. Jared feels a little slow, but Jensen's in front of him, putting one foot in front of the other, and it makes it easier, somehow, for Jared to do it, too. )

I signed up for Sweet Charity; offering a short story of at least 4000 words. No real parameters beyond that, except for the fact that I'm hoping to write in a fandom I'm familiar with. Haha. I'd have a little trouble trying to write, say, Two and a Half Men fic.
Still, there are some awesome people to bid on over at the site, and Invisible Children is a really great charity serving child soldiers in Uganda. They filmed a really moving, really heartbreaking documentary that I would recommend if you're interested in their purpose or just in a well-crafted doc about the turmoil in Uganda that's indicative of the troubles facing third world Africa today. You can visit Invisible Children's website here.
And put in bids at Sweet Charity, here!

( Jared keeps his bedroom door closed. The first two weeks, Jensen sits in the living room and doesn't stare at Jared's closed door. He reads scripts, Paula Deen chattering low in the background. He breaks eventually. )

This is slightly off the beaten path, but does anybody know anyone who's ever worked at Disneyland or Disney World? I would love to ask a few questions of people who've worked there in any capacity, but especially if they were a character there. Loads of thanks in advance!
I was going to write another 'long time, no see' apologetic remark here, but I think everyone who would read this kind of assumes that I am abjectly sorry for my flakiness anyway, yes? If not, please, assume so!

Jensen Ackles in slasher flick.
Whee. The boys automatically go hand in hand with guts and gore, apparently. There are worse things than watching Jensen Ackles spritzed down with faux-panic sweat on the big screen. SIGH. I AM STILL A GOOD FANGIRL, I SWEAR.
