First of all, I just want to say that the reason I make posts like this so rarely is because I'm not good at writing long segments about myself. Now you know.
Anyway.
I have just sent chapter 6 of Burn so Brightly to my beta. Yaaaay! She's on vacation, but might find the time to look at it anyway. It's a short chapter, but that's alright since it functions mostly as a breather and a bridge between 5 and 7, which are both heavy on the action and plot-development. In chapter 7 there will be actual moving action as well, not just sitting-on-our-asses-in-Bobby's-living-room-talking type action. :P
Season 7 ended with possibly the smallest bang of all the seasons so far, but I am mucho excited to see Dean and Cas' adventures in Purgatory come season 8, and I hope that Sam teams up with Jodie and Garth, because they are awesome.
Speaking of Jodie and Garth, I went to Asylum 8 in Birmingham in May, and it was amazing. I already knew that I loved these actors and actresses, but my adoration just hit the ceiling when I got to hear them speak, and even got to speak to a couple of them. Seeing Misha Collins up close was like a dream.
For those of you who were there, I was the idiot who suggested Mark Sheppard be an "extra" on BBC's Merlin. I meant "guest star", but my mind was just blank. I got to apologise later, though, and he'd forgotten all about it. If you want to you can watch me humiliate myself
here.
I really want to go to Asylum 9, see Richard and Sebastian and Rob.
Back to the season 7 finale, am I the only one who laughed when I found out that it was written by Sera Gamble? After all the abuse she's been given by the fans, she gives us a finale full of delicious, heart-breaking Destiel. She also wrote "Death's Door" (7x10) and "The born-again identity" (7x17), two of the best episodes this season. I'm not saying I would have voted for her as showrunner of season 8, but I don't think she deserved half of the criticism she got.
And then a final service announcement: I have a
tumblr! Don't be discouraged by the amount of Merlin I've been reblogging recently. ;P
