Welcome to the Jungle

December 31st, 2037 (12:11 pm)
i reach out from: in the eyrie
i'm all about: accomplished
i can hear: the music of the spheres

::waves::
hi there! if you have found your way to this journal via my blog, or because i accosted you in a public place and twisted your arm gave you cookies in an effort to convince you to watch SHOW, a big and hearty welcome!! honestly, i am not as crazy as it may have appeared, except about Supernatural. however, i make no apologies for totally losing my head where SHOW is concerned. you will understand after you become addicted, too. seriously.

'cuz dudes. Supernatural is AWESOME. and i HATE TV. plus where show is concerned, i am sorta of the senior demographic, plus i have lots of degrees, so that should totally count for something.

anyhoo. glad you are here, please look around and make yourself to home. here i am entirely casual and introspective, even more so than on the blog, where i still try at least sometimes to post things of some intelligence. do check out my friends, cuz they are ALL awesome pie and are way cooler than me. here is my profile page, so you can read more about me than you will EVER want to know. maybe we share a few interests, maybe not. ::shrugs::

in addition to my normal activities and honest attempts at writing marketable works, i do also attempt to write fanfiction, mostly of the Gen and Het variety; not so racy as some, mind you, but readable and hopefully entertaining, or i wouldn't post it. these are listed in chronological episode order (not in the order i wrote them) in the right-hand sidebar. the usual disclaimers apply. all of my Supernatural Fanfics here are meant to either be missing scenes, codas, or missing episodes. therefore, the goal is to make it as realistic as possible to the characters, and parallel to canon. if something happens in canon that conflicts entirely with something in one of my fics, i'll change said fic to reflect what happened in the show. that said, there may be things in the stories that could not be aired on TV, even with the R rating that the network places on the show, because this is fiction, based on two characters whose "real lives" are probably not always PG rated. consider this your warning for violence and adult situations (i do flag per LJ's policy so if you are underage you will not be able to view adult material). that being said, it is not necessary to friend me in order to read my fics, as all are open to the public, as long as you are of the appropriate age in your jurisdiction.

ETA: If you do not normally read Het, before you write off my Het fics, READ THIS, and be assured i promise NEVER, EVER TO WRITE OOC.
If I do, you can nail me to the wall on it.

Also - occasionally i will post thinky-things and meta about show. i post alot of fic recs, and am a moderator at the LJ Dean & Layla community. [info]dean_layla is, in my humble opinion, THE OTP OF ALL ETERNITY. THE END. Kripke, ARE YOU LISTENING??? BRING BACK LAYLA. SHE IS DEAN'S ANGEL, SO STOP WITH THE BELA ALREADY. And besides, Mary always told him that Angels are watching over him. In conclusion, Layla.

Ok, so I'm a little crazy about this show. But ~ if you are still on the fence about Supernatural, please read the article i wrote awhile back for Helium. If that doesn't convince you to at least give SHOW a look, then I give up.
what else? like everybody, i love comments and feedback, so i've left this journal pretty much open to everyone; you don't have to friend me to read anything. i do have a private LJ for more private stuff, so if we get to know one another well, you will probably find out about that one at some point. also, if you friend me i'll probably friend you back, just 'cuz. *hugs all new frenz*

i do allow anonymous comments so if you don't have an lj account, you can still leave me feedback if you like. i give out winchester-shaped cookies for comments!

the writing space meme

April 26th, 2008 (09:11 am)
cheerful

i reach out from: in the back office
i'm all about: cheerful
i can hear: twittering birds outside the door

this started out mainly for [info]blacklid, but of course, some of my voyeuristic frenz thought this would make a nice meme. and not too long ago Writers' Digest had an interesting article on the writing spaces of famous writers, and i found it fascinating to see how simple most of them were.

not sure why, of course, 'cuz all you need is a pen, some paper, and a place to be.

here are pics of the cozy little space i call "the eyrie," which is where i craft my stories, poems, and highly-sought-after mostly ridiculous opinions. and a rose from the walk home. it smelled pretty heavenly. i hung up the phone from talking to [info]blacklid, looked down, and decided to snap pics.

a peek into my writing space )


and yet ANOTHER meme... this one specifically for writers. could not resist; ganked from <lj user= )

not tapping anyone, but any frenz who care to share their writing spaces, or do the Q&A meme, link me here in the comments and i'd love to come take a look.

All RIGHT Jensen Ackles... WTF

April 26th, 2008 (12:06 am)
bitchy

i reach out from: the back office
i'm all about: bitchy
i can hear: dave matthews: #41

Why is it that every time I see a decent movie nowadays I cannot watch it without constantly thinking, "Jensen would so do a better job" than whomever has the lead role. Because it's TRUE.

Tonight's Piss-offery? The Awesomeness that is Flyboys. Cut for spoilers for this movie )

JENSEN ACKLES. ONE DAY, WOULD YOU MIND TRYING OUT FOR A PART IN A MOVIE THAT IS WORTH YOUR GODDAMNED SALT? PLZKTHX.

Obviously, I am up past my bedtime and am grouchy and irritable.

But I feel like writing poetry, and you may have to suffer through that in a bit. Somehow, I feel as if I should apologize, but no. I'm not.

sigh... where's the impala when you need it? oh, wait. that's right. HIATUS. it's time for wank!

i finally did it - have removed myself from all the beta communities as of this morning. if you are on my f-list and/or sent me something in the past couple of days to beta, i am on it and can/will still beta for you as time allows. but since i am a committed member of [info]nostairway as a technical screener, and the health has ceased to cooperate, not to mention RL and the fact that at any given moment i have several works of my own in progress, i needed to do this. sorry if anyone was planning to use me in the future. i'm sure there are lots of other good betas out there who will be glad to help - check out [info]spn_beta and [info]fandom_betas for that.

a poem a day.... right

tired

i reach out from: in the eyrie
i'm all about: tired
i can hear: rent: seasons of love

well.

of course, the way to ensure that i DON'T do something, is to say i WILL do it. or even that i will TRY HARD to do it.

national poetry month daily postings are hereby defunct due to health issues.

i will, however, in lieu of that direct you to my post today at this blog community: The RUGFarm Chronicles

The RUG stands for "Really Unknown Group." It is a very eclectic poetry group that I've belonged to for several years. We started posting at this blog about a month or so ago. At some point we'll get the older stuff, that was distributed solely by emails, up there. It's kind of awesome.

Ennyhoo. Enjoy.

National Poetry Month

amused

i reach out from: in my tree
i'm all about: amused
i can hear: riley smith: stay

In honor thereof, I am going to try to post a poem a day - but with a twist. There are alot of peeps on my flist who are doing just that, but by their favorite poets.

I'ma gonna be egotistical and share things I wrote with you. See. First I was a poet, then a short story writer, and then I wrote articles and plays. I started a novel and finally completed it after 18 years. I'm working on 5 others. And you all know about the fanfic both here and at my other LJ... so. Some of these are pretty old, some i'll link to at my blog, still. You may find them interesting or amusing or meh. Concrit is always welcome!

Here's another part of me. )

hey - i have another awsum recc.

March 31st, 2008 (01:35 pm)
chipper

i reach out from: in my happy place
i'm all about: chipper
i can hear: pat benatar: love is a battlefield

i am totally made of fail, flail, whatever today.

i was supposed to do work and type up FIC that is done but all in longhand.

i am spending the entire day commenting and posting, apparently. \0/

there are worse ways to spend a day.

Last week, I beta'd an awesome Sammessiah Fic. It is by [info]fannishliss. And I meant to recc it, but then --well, RL kicked in and gave me some ick to deal with, and I plain forgot.

So. Here be it:
Title: Who Do You Say That I Am?
Rated: Gen - but don't let that stop you.
Pairing: none
Characters: Sam, Dean, Ruby
Summary: Sam figures out who the demons think he is.


Go Forth and Read. Because she is relatively new at this, and it's tons of awesome and the ending totally blew me away. And besides, LJ is totally how we should ALL be spending our day. Beats the heck out of working, that's for sure!

[info]fannishliss, *hugs and kisses*

this fic totally deserves more than just a drive-by recc'ing

March 31st, 2008 (10:57 am)
i reach out from: in my happy place
i'm all about: enthralled
i can hear: pat benatar: love is a battlefield

I was NOT going to post today - but then I read this fic.

You see that little list of awesome people down the left-hand side of my LJ?

That list is of people who have touched my soul, who have totally made me cry, or squee, who have reached out thru the blind oblivion of vapor-like connections that is the internetz and made me believe they are real, honest to god human beings.

I must update that list.

This is a woman I've only known for a few weeks. She lives on the other side of the planet - but she has touched my heart so many, many times now I jump every time I see her name on the screen. And I RUN as often as I can to see what she's done lately, because she's shy and so damn self-effacing and has a brain the size of Jupiter. Everything that spills from her keyboard is pure. GOLD.

[info]blincolin? YOU TOTALLY DESERVE MY SQUEE THIS MORNING. YOU MADE THE HUSBAND STOP WORK AND READ THIS FIC. I TOLD YOU - HE DOESN'T EVEN READ MY FICS.

On the Edge of a Burning Light
[Sam/OFC, NC-17, 1700wds]
She had thin, broken stretch marks along the tops of her legs, the purple lines standing out on the creamy texture of her flesh.
Warnings: future!fic, implied death!fic and het.
A/N: My first time writing het. Forgive me any sins.

Baby. LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD. I can't believe this was your first het. THERE ARE NO SINS TO BE FORGIVEN.

THIS IS TONS OF AWESOME.


MY ENTIRE F-LIST NEEDS TO RUN, NOW AND READ THIS FIC. MY CAPSLOCK BUTTON IS FLAILING.

The. End.

songs i wanna hear jensen sing meme

March 30th, 2008 (10:05 am)
i reach out from: in the eyrie
i'm all about: indescribable
i can hear: J and J: Crazy Love

hi all,

i think we can all agree that it is necessary to add to the list of things we love about Jensen Ackles, in addition to the freckles and the shyness and the bowlegs and the Ackting and the intelligence and all-around good-natured awesomeness of Himself:

The Voice. The VOICE, guys.

It is melting honey-sweet deep bass tones. Smooth tenor backnotes. He has a marvelous range. And we heard it YESTERDAY. OMG.

Picking myself up off the floor, in response to the amazing sound of that voice, I have a meme. Add to it in the comments or start your own at your LJ.
