There is no twelve step program for fandom

[livejournal.com profile] jimmybigbang progress:



Ugh, I hate asking for extensions. Final drafts were due yesterday but I couldn't grab anything close to the amount of writing time I'd hoped over the holidays. Also, signing up for three different challenges with due dates in Dec-Jan probably wasn't my brightest moment. Four, actually, counting [livejournal.com profile] fandom_stocking. God, it's like a sickness.

Speaking of, I did manage to write four little things for that, so I'll post one of those tomorrow night. Maybe the angsty one. And the [livejournal.com profile] deancas_xmas reveals are Saturday! *dances*

***

Now that I've admitted I have a sickness, [livejournal.com profile] sncross_bigbang sign-ups are Friday and I am tempted. If I sign up I think I'll go with my White Collar idea, where Neal's sold his soul and it causes all kinds of problems. Although Doctor Who is also tempting. And Human target. And ooh, my L4D2 idea I've rambled about where it's 5.04!verse and everyone goes to hell.

Seriously, if I was on the Legion of Superheroes my name would be Indecisive Lass and my power would be to baffle villains with my inability to make decisions.

Can someone come over and do my dishes? Please? What if I make puppy eyes? {puppy eyes}

*___*

I will read the shit out of that White Collar crossover. No lie, that would be AMAZING. Would it be slash? Gen? Crossover slash? *SO CURIOUS NOW*

I'm not allowed to sign up for the Crossover Big Bang, not with [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang sign-ups in four days and my [livejournal.com profile] gabriel_bigbang still in the process of shattering my soul. *headdesk*

Good luck with the rest of your Jimmy fic!! I hear you on not having nearly enough time to write over the holidays. And... *guilty foot shuffle* I'm sorry for contributing to all the madness of things that were due... Although I wouldn't take it back, because daaaaaammmmmnnnn, girl, your fic was too awesome for words!

*snuggles*

My lack of will power is not your fault!:)

I didn't know you liked White Collar! As it stands right now it would be...is there a term for slashy gen? I guess that's still gen. Mostly there would be hellhounds and dramatic rescues and El being awesome.

(I'm so excited for your [livejournal.com profile] gabriel_bigbang! I wish I had any ability to Gabriel, he's one of those voices I just can't pin down.)

I'm not allowed to sign up for the Crossover Big Bang, not with [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang sign-ups in four days

Ooh. I...I could write my highschool AU for that. Should I do that?

I adore White Collar!! Though I'm not an active part of the fandom, I still read fics for it that pop up on my flist. And I'm behind on the series because I watch it as it comes out on DVD. (I can't watch things on my computer, and I almost always work when it's airing. CURSES!) But, yes. LOVE THAT SHOW. \o/

The fic you have planned sounds all kinds of awesome, so I really really hope you decide to write it. I will totally play cheerleader for you! :D

Ooh. I...I could write my highschool AU for that. Should I do that?

I mean, do you REALLY expect me to answer this with anything other than "OMG YES OF COURSE YOU SHOULD, DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!"? Really? Because, that doesn't sound very characteristic of me. Just sayin'. :P

Awww, it's a huge challenge, but not scary at all! And it's probably the only reason I ever got Destinies finished, which ended up being pretty much my most favorite story that I've ever written. I'm hoping it does the same this year, helping me finish the Cas-is-a-Winchester fic I started for NaNo.

Because, apparently, this is The Year of Brothercest Brotherly Bonding in every big fic I write.

*facepalm*

A big fat YES PLEASE to mutual cheerleading!!! *\o/*

I'm kind of comically bad at finishing stories that aren't written FOR something, a prompt or a challenge or what have you. I think I need the extra deadline to push past the omg, this is terrible I should just set the whole thing on fire stage of writing.

And yay, I love that story! I was plotting a Cas-is-a-Winchester fic ages ago (Cas was in a fall-or-die situation and instead of being reborn as a baby he got written into the timeline, Dawn-from-Buffy style) but he and Dean started getting...um, inappropriate and I didn't know how to make it stop. Apparently writing them as gen for any lenght of time is beyond me. *hands*

Yeah, deadlines are pretty much the only reason I finish anything. I know some people can't work with them at all, and fail horribly at any challenge they sign up for, but I can't function without a deadline of some kind. /o\

LOL! I really don't know if this story is going to stay gen, in spite of my best intentions. The amount of cuddling and hair-stroking and love between these three already is...well. I never had siblings, but I doubt it would've been like that, anyway, if I had. >> Unfortunately, like you, writing long!fic gen between any of them seems to be an impossibility.

Oops.

I think if I ever revisit it I'll handwave all the tension as past life bleed and run with it, but it got pretty thick. Especially when Sam left for Stanford and Cas got all, well I would never leave, Dean! and it was just the two of them for four years. That's about the point where I took a step back and went waaaaiiit a second. I can write Dean and Sam gen just fine but Dean and Cas have to be all profound bond all the time.

Dearie, you take on soooo much more than I'd ever be brave enough to try. You're awesome. :) If you need any help bouncing ideas, let me know.

Good luck? <3

Side note: I think your superhero name should include some sort of "bring it on bitch" slogan.

Signing up for All The Things is self-delusion, not bravery.:) I'm like a magpie with fic challenges; it's all "ooh, shiny" and then it all turns into deadlines and panic.
