This is my brain, and not even on drugs.

I signed up for GISHWES! At least, I think I did; I had to edit the email and resubmit it, and there's always the possibility I failed the essay portion of the exam. But nothing is being announced until the 18th from what I gather, so we'll see if I managed to do this right.

These two were my favorite of Misha's countdown tweets today:

@mishacollins: Registration closes in 4 hours. i'm afraid, very afraid. A sh*t load of people have signed up. it's going to be mayhem.

@mishacollins: Less than 3 hours to register. This was a bad idea. it'll take hundreds of hours to review submissions. I have a family.

It is killing me that dc_dystopia's time frame is exactly the same as jimmybigbang's (the rough drafts are literally due within days of each other) because it hit me that would be the perfect excuse to write the SPN/24 crossover I've been kicking around the past few months.

OR! Or my 2014!Cas-does-drugs-because-Lucifer-keeps-walking-through-his-dreams idea! That would also work! Why does everything cool have to go on at the same time?!?

So last night I had a dream where I was watching Human Target (God, I miss my show) where the case wound up taking a decidedly supernatural turn. The team all brainstormed what to when Guerrero walked in, heard the story, said, "I know a guy" and called up Bobby (because Guerrero and Bobby both know everyone.) Bobby sent in Sam and Dean with Cas along for the ride; when they all walked in Guerrero took one look at Cas and said, "Hey bro, been a while," just as cool as you please. Apparently Guerrero had pulled a Gabriel, only instead of an angel pretending to be a trickster he was an angel slumming it as a human assassin.

That was as far as I got before Lexi in all her grace knocked something over and woke me up, and I'm not sure how I feel about my brain coming up with that. On hand, the concept that Guerrero essentially fell for Chance the way Cas fell for Dean amuses me, and I like the image of the two of them sighing over their pain in the ass humans. On the other hand, one of the things I like most about Guerrero is that he has a kid, and I don't even know if vesseled angels can do that. I mean, Jesse Turner being conceived in a demon-possessed body made him the antichrist.

Although the idea that Guerrero's son might be the Second Coming is hilarious.

Back to writing. I will have this deancas_xmas fic done and in beta shape tonight if it kills me.

Well, it's not public mockery!

I am full of hibachi. Mmmm, hibachi.

I guess I didn't mess things up too badly, because this was in my inbox after dinner:

GISHWHESHEANS,

Unfortunately, many of you thought it would be hilarious when you were registering to enter "imaginary" friends into the requested teammate field including "Misha Collins", "the Queen of England" and "Sherlock Holmes".

Congratulations on your little database implosion experiment. It worked. We had intended to use our automated team-formation program, but now we must manually sort the 6000 of you into teams of 10.

We are posting the Rules of The Hunt now. However, we aren't going to post the Items List until we have finished assigning you all to teams which should be very soon.

As soon as everyone has been assigned to a team, the items list will be posted and you can go hog-wild.



On other fronts:

1. Read the Rules and Regulations VERY CAREFULLY. This is your Bible for the next week and a half. You must follow all of the rules, so don't skim.
2. Be sure to check this page at least once every 24 hours during The Hunt, per the rules and regulations. It is your "update" page for all things important to the Hunt.
3. It is your responsibility to communicate with your teammates.
4. We suggest using phone, email, skype, and backpackit (they have a 30-day free trial) to manage your hunt.
5. If you have a problem with one or more of your teammates, that's life, work it out, don't complain to us.
6. Submit your items on our submit page per the Rules and Regulations.

Now i know some of you are chomping at the bit to get started, so without telling you exactly what the items are, i'm going to let you know a few of the ingredients that will be going into some of the items to give you a head start. You might want to start assembling some of the following: Socks, beer cozies, cotton candy, a comptometer, A Nobel Prize winner, sock monkey hats, an Eye of The Tiger LP, yoga students, mannequins, kale, mathematicians and most importantly, caffeinated beverages.

Drink the Kool-Aid, it's delicious.

Misha

I don't know what amuses me more, that enough people reverted back to being seventh graders passing around an attendance sheet to break the database or that no one seems to have seen that coming.:)

(6000 people!)

Is this a bad time to admit that I'm not very good at scavenger hunts?

Because fandom is crazy and awesome, that's why.

Guys. GUYS! The fic that just got posted on spn_reversebang is a Misha/Jared/Jensen AU Thundercats fusion.

I am not even kidding. Look!

I fucking love fandom so much.
