I self censor, which isn't always a good thing to do when puking out the first draft.
That sounds somehow familiar. :) I keep getting hung up on details, and if there's even the slightest problem with them, I can't continue. Which is probably why I'm more productive during the late hours when my brain has mellowed out a bit. ;) Ugh, free form writing (if I understand the term correctly) is something my control freak self has never liked.
*continues with the off-topic discussion* You know the movie?! Because, you know, sadelyrate has done some wonderful hand holding and read the story to see how it fits with the tone of the movie...
The reel_spn had its deadline long ago, but I didn't want to ditch the partially written story because of that, so I'm just going with the format and posting the story when it's done. If all goes well, it'll pop up on your flist one day... Unless you I can offer you something rewarding enough to beta it/read it through. *bats eyelashes* ...But, seriously, I don't want to force you into doing that and I'll understand if you'd rather skip that part and go straight to reading the finished story.

Yeah, free associating blah blah ... I pretty much just write stuff and then delete it. It's supposed to be just an exercise, like doing warm-up scales on the piano. After my writing course I became much less productive because I was trying to employ everything I learned right then and there and that disabled me. So I guess right now you could say I'm in physiotherapy, trying to get back on my feet. One of these days I'll hopefully turn out another fic just for fun.

I should try that. Maybe if I didn't care at all what I wrote, I might actually write something lol.

Hehee. How about you don't completely close down the possibility of writing more meta? *evil grin* I'd be willing to give it a read through for sure. :) It's been ages since I watched the movie, so if you're looking for me to remark on the parallels in depth, I'd have to rewatch the film (which really wouldn't be a problem). And really, who doesn't love more renegade Sam and Dean with gun fics? ;) Oo, is it a Sam/Dean fic or a Sam, Dean fic?

I don't think that I could stop writing meta completely anyway. :) *is currently rewatching 3x02 for ideas* Hmm, at the moment I'm pretty comfortable with how the fic is following/not following the movie, so it's probably not necessary for you to watch it. Mostly, I'm just ripping the story and throwing the boys into that world. And yes, it's a Sam/Dean fic, though not explicit. At least not yet. ;)

*breathes a HUGE sigh of relief* I'm so happy to hear you say that. :) Thinky thoughts are no fun if there's nobody else to think around with. Yes, I'm totally selfish. *smooshes you*
