Writing woes

[renrenren3]

❧ For the first time in forever, I'm working on multiple fics at the same time. The material proof are the three drafts I have lying around my desk (it's good to have a desk again, btw). On the plus side, I almost feel like a writer. On the minus side, I don't because none of them is in any way close to finished.

❧ Both of my attempts at writing for the first challenge at thegameison_sh have so far been thwarted by Sherlock, who went off on a tangent with complete disregard for the word count. Typical of the man. I'm left wondering if it wouldn't be better to write about someone sane, like Lestrade, or John, or even Moriarty.

Wow that must have been... special...

It's strange to see actors change for the same character. It'd be tragic if it happened to Castiel. (Not that I think it'd happen, I read spoilers, but still.)

YES! I'M AT 2/10 NOW, WE CAN WIN THIS THING!

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

It was definitely an experience. He thought it was hilarious.

I hate when actors change! Luckily it doesn't happen too much. I think if they replaced Castiel, I'd cry. And cry. And Dean would cry, because someone took away his special angel.

I'M ON 2/10 AS WELL! Didn't get anything in the 2nd post. :(

[renrenren3]

Before Ruby I didn't care much, I hope it doesn't happen too often in the later series. Nooo, this settles it! You can't make Dean cry, because when Dean cries shit happens. Bad shit. So there, Castiel and Dean will live happily ever after. Or something.

YAY YOU! I'm at 3/10 after the 3rd draw, Vivian is my lucky girl x3

Dean does look very pretty when he cries though... But no! He and Castiel need a happy ending. Which for Dean is damn near impossible but I'm sure he can figure it out

EXTRA YAY TO YOU! Knew I should have picked her. Damn you Georgia Moffet! Why must you be so awesome. I totally meant to watch her episode of Doctor Who as well. Oops!

[renrenren3]

He does, but then again he looks pretty while he does anything. And sad!Dean makes me sad too so a happy ending is mandatory. I'm sure Castiel can manage on teeensy little miracle.

Georgia is so pretty it's ridiculous. It's set, I need to watch Doctor Who. How many episodes are there again?

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

I never saw the old timey doctor who, so i dunno if those are worth watching, but the newer version is up to series 5, 13 episodes in each. Series 1 is Christopher Eccelston, Series 2-4 are David Tennant [OMG I HEART HIM SO MUCH] and series 5 is Matt Smith [Never seen it, but my bff says its good]

Pretty much each series has a different companion, except Rose had series 1 and 2. Donna is my favourite, she's in series 4!

[renrenren3]

I wasn't really planning on watching 50 years worth of British series, just the newest ones. 13 eps is pretty short, I can marathon them!

Oh and I meant to ask you: do you have any non-spoilery recs for SPN fanfic? I have nothing much to do while I wait for bingo XD

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who Marathon! Oooh, if we're both online, we can watch together!

Hmm... not sure. there's deancastiel and you should be able to search through tags and stuff. But they update pretty frequently, so the non-spoilery ones will be wayyyy back. That's the only SPN place I've been sorry!

There's also spnstoryfinders with pretty big tag lists as well!

[renrenren3]

You'd have to wait until October until I finish SPN though, unless I go through the last series real quick XD;

*goes to hunt through tags*

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

I have all but series 1 on dvd. I can watch them over and over again! Do you have to download each episode of SPN?

Oh my bingo fails.

[renrenren3]

Yeah, at least until I get the DVDs, and I decided that I must get Merlin first anyway xD;
Darn, this year I got into a bunch of new series.

Wow, this round failed so much for me as well, 3 cards and nothing matches!

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

new series are fun! I love buying dvds more than downloading. I just like to see my overflowing dvd shelf. I did download SPN from series 4 through to the end every saturday after work!


I think I'm on 4/10 now! Thanks Uther.

[renrenren3]

Usually I don't care much for DVDs because I only watch shows once, but I'm making an exception this time! I could watch Merlin's cheekbones over and over.

6/10 now! Yay Merlin/Arthur!

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

Mmmm Colin, you are so fine.

You're beating me! Dang. I'm reading Merlin/Arthur atm. I love their fics. So good!

Oh My God, I can almost see the sun.

[renrenren3]

I swear I don't remember typing that about Colin's cheekbones... I think I'm being brainwashed, what between him and Cumberbatch.

Haha, just trying to pull a win for the team! Merlin/Arthur is my OTP, now if only I could finish my fic for merlin_muses...

Wow crazy, hope you get a bingo soon so you can sleep XD

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

I'm all focused on Merlin/Arthur right now. It was Dean/Castiel before that. There's this one D/C fic I'm still checking on-- it's long and they somehow get a baby [not mpreg] and it's just awesome. But Merlin/Arthur must have just finished their big bang or something, so I'm overloaded with fic! And I love it.

What's your fic about?

Mmmm sleep would be good! Pretty sure my family will be up soonish, it's 6.35 am.

[renrenren3]

Yeah paperlegends just finished, though I'm waiting until I'm done with some writing myself before getting started on them ♥
I can't say which prompt it is because it's secret until the reveal, but it's M/A from Arthur's POV and very much cracky XD

Mpreg absolutely squicks me out but I love fics in which Dean and Castiel have kids so... uhm whatever, I can accept that the kids just popped out of thin air or something XD

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

Nawww, I love Arthur view. He tries so hard.

I'm pretty sure in this one, they saved a fertility goddess from demons and she's all oh you two are cute HAVE A BABY! And this baby just appears.

[renrenren3]

Haha I can't say anything else without giving the plot away but IT'S SO TRUE! Poor Arthur, always trying to be best at everything.

That sounds so cute! ♥ Link please? *puppy eyes*

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

He has so much he thinks he needs to prove. Way to parent there Uther.

It is! But it's a bit spoilery. It's set halfway through series 5. Still want?

[renrenren3]

Poor Uther is such a failtastic parent... he tries, but he raised Arthur with so many issues!

Sure! I'm keeping a list of spoilery fic that I'll read once I'm done with the series XD

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

He tried that whole : Feelings? Ah, you don't need them little boy!

http://community.livejournal.com/ameonna1_writes/7198.html MASTER POST OF WIN

[renrenren3]

Poor Uther, him and his dysfunctional family! Luckily there's Merlin and Gaius who can put things right with the power of hugs!

YAY! Bookmarking and waiting for better times! Meanwhile I'm watching 4x15. I can't believe Tessa is in this, I liked her!

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

I know right?! A chick on SPN that no one hated! It was like, a first.

[renrenren3]

Maybe because she didn't try to hit on either Sam or Dean? XD I'm glad she's still alive. Shame for Pamela, I liked her too.

Castiel should show up for more than two minutes though. *pouts*
