I figured some stuff out with my lovely Sweet Charity writers this weekend, and we are all in for some gorgeous, dense pieces of fic, courtesy of
dark_roast and quellefromage! Whoot!I've been working on my
spn_j2_bigbang fic, and I'm loving it. I think NaNo was a really bad experience for me, since I was producing so much but was happy with only a miniscule percentage of it. And the necessity of writing every day pushed that story into quite a strange shape - the Sam/Sarah bits wouldn't have gone on for nearly as long if I'd been confident I knew how to push the rest of the story ahead. Anyway, the bigbang story marks the first time since then that I've been really pleased with something I'm writing, and I have really missed that lovely feeling. Ahhhhhhhhh.I still need to revise that sprawling mess that is my NaNo draft, because I do think there's an interesting story buried somewhere in there.
Also, I need to stop punking out and just write scene eleven of my Ben/Dean series. However, I think that can wait a little while I'm still feeling all yay! about bigbang. And I've had an idea for a (hopefully) funny pre-series fic that I think should be fun to write. It's so nice to be back in the swing of things.
I hope you all are doing well too.
And lastly, I just wanted to mention this: The Valentine's Day Game, hosted by the marvelous
svmadelyn. Go! Say the nice things you've been meaning to say!
(Also, I have been trying to write scene eleven for weeks, but nothing's coming. V frustrating.)
AND VOTE.
DO BOTH.
NY votes today, y/n?
NY did vote yesterday, without me, due to too many stupid circumstances to enumerate.
And... I can't wait til June to read yours. I mean, I probably can. But if you want an extra random test reader at any time. *looks shifty*
PS.
Ben and Dean rule the world. When you're ready, naturally.
I might take you up on that! I'm forcing poor, defenseless
Ben and Dean rule the world. Hee! And they do it sexily, right? Dean insists that this is so.
Am I the gorgeous one, or the dense one? No, wait! Don't answer that. :D
Is it okay if I post in my LJ about what we discussed, or would you prefer to keep it a surprise? Thanks again for winning me, and I hope I don't disappoint. I haven't started writing yet. I'm a little nervous, this being my first time as a Charity Ho. Eep!
I'm totally cool with you posting whatever you want in your lj, but I'm not sure what the Sweet Charity rules are - I know I got emails saying that once the fic was written, if I were willing to share what I got, I had to enter a code into the site. So I don't know if there's something in the rules that keeps you from spilling the beans. But whatever you want to do is fine with me. I'm just happy you're writing me DEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAN! (Or have I said too much?)
Oh crap. You're someone who actually knows me IRL, aren't you? D:
(That horrified emoticon never, ever fails to make me laugh...)
Seriously... yes, I do know how you feel about my writing, but I am still so incredibly flattered that you bid on me, and that you're so excited about the story. Gleeee!
The Sweet Charity FAQ doesn't say one way or another re: talking about goodies -- but I think I will err on the side of caution and keep your request supah-seekrit until I'm done.
I'm just happy you're writing me DEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAN! (Or have I said too much?)
Well, you've probably disappointed my 1 or 2 fans who were hoping for a Logan fic. =D

Go write!
Oh... poopie!

Re: Oh... poopie!
It's my own fault, really. I've been praying to the SPN gods since S1 for a time-loop story. (I'm so terrible -- in the promo, Dean getting nailed by that falling safe[?] is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I cannot wait for next week.)
Re: Oh... poopie!
I'm sure you can manage both in a nice, long, plotty fic - whoot! Go write!
