Woah!

I found this on Wil Wheaton's twitter

Colour me impressed!

In other news I have kind of fallen in love with this fic I am writing. It's J2 AU and I suspect it will wind up being a bit longer than the 1k maximum I was going to have for my prompt fics.

Any chance I could have a beta on standby. Need it back by Thursday and it should be finished tomorrow. I don't expect it will be any longer than 2k

I really dislike the word talent because it's all relative really. People might say I'm talented at one thing but I see far more skilled people than me out there. Still, if I have to choose something I guess I'd say writing. It's certainly the skill I've been honing for the longest time. I still remember making up my own fairy tales when I was about eight years old

Monday Fic Recs

Dean/Castiel
Softer and More Beautiful
Christmas is a human celebration, and Castiel is with a couple of humans.
This is beautiful. A really sweet and tender look at Dean and Castiel's relationship as Cas deals with being cut off from heaven

The Ghosts in the Machine
Dean gets visited by ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. Sort of.
Oh, I loved this. A nice festive Dean/Cas story and it feels very real too.

On the Shores of the Great Lake
The problem with the war between Heaven and Hell is that it’s never actually over. The problem with being one of God’s chosen warriors is that you can always get called back into the fray.
This is a really neat idea. I loved it.

No Stranger in Your Dreams by aramleys_words
"What would you dream about, Castiel, I wonder?"
This is absolutely beautiful. A very realistic continuation of the events of 5.10.


Sam/Dean (I KNOW!)
How Many Floors to Realize by lazy_daze
AU from the end of It's A Terrible Life, in which Zachariah decides to keep stringing them along a little while longer, because damn if they aren't somewhat entertaining, right?
WOO HOO! This is exactly what I was going to write for big bang next year, only this is ten times better than anything I could do, so now I don't have to do it. LOL. Seriously, this is amazing. I loved it.


J2
We've Come a Long Way by gypsy_sunday
Growing up in a small town, Jared and Jensen form an unlikely friendship. But are they too different to make it last?
I keep telling myself that I'm not going to read any more high school AU fics because they're boring and samey and then something comes along to change my mind. Something like this. It's well written and lovely.

Dream

I had a dream last night that I went to an MCM Expo type even for Merlin and it was a total disaster. Colin and Bradley never showed up because they were busy filming. Katie was telling everyone not to take photos of her and Angel was just bored and aloof during the whole thing

Then one of the writers (I don't even know who it was supposed to be. It was a woman) said she was taking the show in an entirely new direction for the third season and they were going to make it a crossover with Robin Hood and introduce a whole load of original new characters too

I was most displeased

*clings to Merlin fandom*

Don't ever change

Things that have made me happy

My J2 AU wound up being over 2000 words. YAY! I kind of love it. Will post as soon as I get it back from beta

Watched the Top Gear Bolivia Special. Oh, boys! Taking Viagra to combat altitude sickness. LOL. The Africa one is still my favourite but this one was pretty good

I am now trying to score 100% on at least one song on Guitar Hero. I don't actually need to for the game. It's a personal challenge. Got to 99% a couple of times so will perservere

And my next prompt fic includes Misha! YAY! I am missing him.

WHEE!

Just scored 100% on this song. Had never even heard of it before I got the game. LOL! I like the video though. Reminds me of my teenage years in the 90s
