Like mad. Seriously. I have this massive *flail-hands* plot that keeps getting more and more intricate (for me) and I just need to somehow get it all on paper.

It'll probably be a while before I can get it all down, but I think this may even turn out well. Sherlock/Inception. Who woulda thunk it?

I think I'll seriously need a Brit-pick though. It's times like these I realise Australians just mix up British and American words as they like. I never know which ones are which. Ha!

It seriously amuses me that John Watson's blog gets spam comments.

I have 800 more words of Sherlock/Inception and still no idea where it's going. *facepalm*

How are you all doing on this fine Saturday?

Hahaha! Brilliant! (It's by iwantpie.)

So, today I worked at cleaning some of the crap out of my room. Been at it most of the afternoon and, I have to say, you can't tell the difference. *facepalm* The joy of moving all the stuff from a small apartment into a bedroom. It just doesn't fit no matter how much crap I manage to throw out. And there's still a lot of stuff in here from my childhood that can't really be thrown out either.

I've decided to set a goal of 500 written words a week. It's small and manageable and maybe I can start writing something worth reading again. Who knows. I just want to get back into a habit of writing because it's enjoyable, rather than staring at a blank screen because everything I want to do is some HUGE project. I figure less than 100 words a day isn't going to freeze my muse. I can add to my wips or just write comment fic... maybe even write some original fiction again. Who knows. :)

In celebration of this, I'm seeking out good prompt communities that I can flick through when I'm stuck for something to write. Feel free to let me know of any you like using. I actually participated in a comment fic meme this weekend. Go me! :)

I wish tomorrow wasn't Monday. :(

Anyone around right now? I'm about to post to the H/C comment fic meme and if someone would read it quickly for me...? Never mind. I just posted it.

Ficlet this way --> Cave in and hurt boys (SPN, Gen, comment fic)

Okay, so here's the deal. I have two longer Supernatural case fic WIPs that are sitting about on my hard drive and I'd like to finish them. They're both set during the early seasons of Supernatural... pre-deal.

Anyway, I've decided to try to finish them both. It'll probably be that I write them in whatever order the muse ends up demanding, but hey can't hurt to ask and see right?!

So, click the poll below if you feel in the mood. After all, it'll be you guys that end up listening to me whine while I write. :P


[Poll #1448670]

It is done! I have finished the Sam!fic! \o/
I'll likely be posting it tomorrow night.

I also received my Sam fic already, so I feel very lucky. It was even a case!fic. :)

Everybody go read some of the Sam!awesome that is being posted over at summer_sam_love! *shoos you over there* There is already so much brilliant stuff. I don't know what to read first!

1) Is anyone else finding LJ comments are coming in very slowly at the moment or is it just me?

2) Updated my paranormal25 table today. In that I've been using the prompts in a lot of my stories but not updating the community or the table. Silly me. This is the first table I've filled out more than one square of. Go me! :)

I'm wondering if under author's choice I can put animal spirit (demonic white moose)? Hmmm

3) Just photocopied some journal articles. Haven't done that since the invention of the PDF... undergrad. I like the smell of the bound journals. :)
And apparently us students aren't allowed to request inter-library loans anymore. Had my sup sign the form instead. O_o

4) Moose fic cracked 3000 words last night. Should I fear for my sanity about now?

5) Have started vidding my SVS challenge vid, but it took me two nights to make 40 seconds and I don't like it much yet. *sigh*

6) Thesis? What thesis? This journal is about fun stuff. :)

Okay, so the ficfrenzy starts tomorrow and I'm writing my PhD thesis madly, so while I'll add bits to my wips here and there, I though it'd be more fun to write a few shorter fics that I can just write and post... you know?! (So I'm not thinking about them while writing the thesis of doom!)

Basically I'm more into writing SPN just at the moment, but other fandom ideas, especially SGA, will definitely be considered too.

Anyone want to prompt me, please? I don't write Wincest or PWP, but anything else is possible... A word, a song, a picture, a phrase, a missing scene from an episode you've wondered about... whatever you like. I'd like some inspiration for some short, probably less than 1000 word, fics.

Even if you aren't into my fandom/s, feel free to chuck me a random prompt. I'm just looking for a little inspiration.

Holy water. Needed to know about that for a fic.

Once blessed, more ordinary water can be added to the supply of holy water, and the entire quantity of water remains blessed provided that the amount added is less than the amount of water that was there.
That's kinda cute and I think it answers one of my questions, because if I have them bless the water in a fountain, which is continually moving, the rate of water moving into and out of the fountain will be fairly steady, so it'll likely remain blessed. Yay!

I love how you can look up one thing on Wiki and end up following links for an hour.

Yes I'm odd.

Goes back to fic ponderings in the background. Not that I'm writing, just pondering. :)

Where did today go? Honestly, I even got an extra hour, because of daylight savings, and I still didn't get anything done. One minute it was noon, the next it was 4pm and I don't honestly know what I did in between. *spooky* o_O

I think I'll try to write some thesis bits later tonight, because this weekend has been a bust in that respect completely. Why am I telling you this... guilty motivation. I have to do it now. *cheesy grin*

Hee! I love this icon! Beckett and his Exorcist comments over Rodney. Ah, that was a good episode. :)

Random question time for the fic I'm writing.

In Supernatural, what do they call a group of vampires? I remember they talked about finding the "nest," but do they use a specific name for a group of vamps? A clan maybe? Anyone know?

Also, anyone got a clue what kind of truck John Winchester drives? Or know where I could find out such crazy factoids...


Thanks
Me
