random things my dad emails me:
(He saw this in someone's window on his work's campus.)
Okay, so. Due dates. And stuff. …this is mostly because I know I'm going to have to drop kink_bigbang, and I'm having A Day, meaning, "I'm being whiny and ridiculous and I hate everything I'm writing, wah, why do I even bother."
…also, I want to sell my soul to the epic AU of crazy that I'm working on because temporalranger is an enabling whore BECAUSE temporalranger GAVE ME A GREAT IDEA AND GOSH SHE'S AWESOME I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
(I actually do love her. But she is still an enabling whore.) …Clearly, this calls for one of my, "lol how do you organization" posts and much abuse of my collection of The Prophet Chuck icons.
October 14th: big_bigbang: Hipsters!AU. …and I don't want to drop it, because I actually still like hipster!AU. But… I'm getting all, "wah, actual fic, you don't live up to my idealized head-version of fic and and and and WHINE." …so I guess what I'm getting at is, "I want to drop out and take EVEN MORE TIME to work on hipster!AU and find some place for it to go later." …so. probably dropped.
October 31st: cwbigbang: …the fact that I didn't even remember signing up for this is telling. uhm. Dropped.
November 2nd: journeystory: too many ideas, not enough time or faith in myself. Dropped. …Yep.
November 7th: polybigbang: …the sad thing is, I'm like 3,000 words into the Jensen/Misha/Vicki (costarring: Jared, the biggest, dorkiest puppy in the world; McFassy, Jensen's douchebag bosses who commit a ton of "acceptable office behavior" violations; JDM, Misha's seriously put upon university disciplinary board-appointed psychiatrist; JGL, Tom Hardy, and Ellen Page as a rascally trio of pot dealers; half of the Glee cast, Jim Parsons, Amanda Palmer/Neil Gaiman, and a bunch of other people as Misha and Vicki's amazing cast of sex-friends) … and I'm just like, "fuck this, why did I think it was a good idea."
I suspect a lot of this has to do with how I randomly wound up writing some monster RPF thing because of a chubwinchesters meme prompt I liked and… I like Jensen/Misha(/Vicki) more than I like Jensen/Jared, Misha/RSJ, Danneel/Genevieve, and like, all of the past Misha-ships going on in this fic (…though the fact that Misha has accidentally joined Blaise Zabini and Santana Lopez on my list of shipping bicycles amuses me terribly). …but I have an outline, and like 4,000 words of notes, and… FML, I really like my little monster. …which is probably why I wound up writing a 4,000 word scene that I could've summarized as, "And then Jensen got himself off while having mildly explicit sexual fantasies that involved Jared - who is in England, doing a semester abroad and pretending to be Charles Xavier because HE STUDIES MICROBIOLOGY AND HE'S GOING TO OXFORD YAY - doing things Jensen didn't think would turn him on, except they do."
…which is all awesome, but there's only so much RPF I can handle writing without pushing too hard against my personal squick level.
…I kind of think I might drop. Or write something about Dean and Castiel instead. Or like… polyamorous ponies. (…don't look at me like that, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is hella interesting if you substitute Twilight Sparkle's, "learning about the magic of friendship," motivation with, "trying to make Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash into her personal harem." …so, basically, polyamorous ponies totally inspired by this list, and a little bit by the REAL Vicki Vantoch's REAL book on polyamory, which is possibly the best thing I ever lied about and told my parents I needed for classwork. And the moral of the story is that Twilight needs to learn to share her sexual partners instead of hoarding them, that bitch. …it might also be a humans AU so I don't actually have to think that hard about how lesbian horses would have sex.)
December 10th: femmeslash_bang: Supernatural. high school AU. Cas is on the swim team and a closet bad girl; Deanna is the former soccer team stud, who quit when she got outed. There is possibly a Glee crossover, mostly so Deanna and Santana Lopez can have ALL OF THE HATE!SEX. Deanna wants to play with Cas's nipple rings. THERE ARE NO SUPERPOWERS OR MAGIC OR FORMER KGB AGENTS STALKING PEOPLE OR SECRET ALIEN CONSPIRACIES OR CRYSTAL SKULLS OR WHATEVER THE FUCK I TRY TO TELL MYSELF I NEED. IT IS JUST A VANILLA HIGH SCHOOL AU ABOUT GIRLS WHO LIKE FUCKING OTHER GIRLS. THE END.
February 1st: lovebites_bigb: …I still have time to figure out what the fuck I want to do with this one. Mostly, I'm pretty sure it's going to be some ridonkulous domestic rom-com where Luna gets turned into a vampire, Hermione is trying to fight ALL THE CAUSES (and drag Draco kicking and screaming out of the closet if it's the last thing she does), Ron is still kind of awkward about how he and Hermione both wound up being gay and HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BE GAY HERMIONE FIX IIIIIIIT, and Harry… is just really excited about the fact that OMG HE AND GINNY HAD A BABY, LOOK GUYS, IT'S A BABY, LOOK AT HIS LITTLE PUDGY BABY TOES KDSFHWH BABY :D :D :D
…… yes, Harry Potter is the most unintentionally obnoxious new parent ever. Ginny mostly doesn't mind because, hey, Harry being really preoccupied with bb!James Sirius and wanting to play stay-at-home dad means she gets to still have a career… but Harry still randomly derails conversations to talk about his awesome baby, and like. harasses the portrait of Severus he put in the den (so Snape could have somewhere to go when Hogwarts was being annoying) at like two in the morning, being all, "OH MY GOD SEVERUS ISN'T THE BABY LIKE TOTALLY PRECIOUS WE'RE NAMING THE NEXT ONE AFTER YOU IF IT'S A BOY :D :D :D :D :D" …Harry basically exists to be comic relief in this idea. …yep.
