Updates, etc
Time for more updates! Because I'm bored and realized I like writing shit down. *le gasp!* On today's agenda: 2 current fanfic projects, 2 future fanfic projects, and life/school stuff. Hooray!
Current projects:
I'm writing inanna_maat's art-prompt fic and making good progress in my head - and even on the page! (for a refresher on this topic, see this post) I'm really enjoying getting into the world I'm creating for it. I just wrote in the epically awesome Danneel Harris (I'm sorry for anything stupid and small-minded I ever said about her in the past, I was being ridiculous - she's AWESOME!!), which makes me happy, and I've really gotten into freaking Chad Michael Murray's head lately (apparently in my fic, he's originally from Oklahoma...I think I'm gonna change that, though. Stupid brain), which is both terrifying and tragic, because Chad...he's apparently just a lonely little boy!! When did THAT happen?!? lol :) But yeah, everything is going pretty well in my head - only one more obstacle to overcome, and it's not THAT big a deal...well, actually, yeah it is...it's kind of a huge deal, would affect the way most of the story progressed at one point....we'll see what happens :) *nervous nervous*
I'm also getting ready to write a fic for corri_kun, from a fic he started but couldn't finish. It deals with the EPICALLY SAD ENDING of Supernatural episode 5.16, "Dark Side of the Moon" ****SPOILERS***** when Dean threw away his amulet. Apparently, like everyone with a soul, that episode really fucked with Corri's head, so he tried writing an epilogue to it to make himself feel better, but couldn't bring himself to finish it, so he has enlisted ME to try to write it for him. What he's already written is pretty bomb (sad as FUCK, but bomb), and I'm excited to get started on making it my own. To those of you who care: it will be sad, maybe even break a few hearts (besides Sam and Dean's), but it has a simply BEAUTIFUL ending (in my head), so I'm excited to start it. Even though I haven't started it yet, I'm counting it as a current project because a) Corri already started it, b) it's constantly in my head and fucking with me, and c) because I don't want to think of inanna_maat's fic as my only project, because that will scare me and make me want to shut down. Hehe. Isn't my brain fun? ;D
Future projects:
I just recently discovered spn_30snapshots, a drabble community in which you sign up for a table of prompts, usually one word each, and write fanfic based on the prompts. I don't want to sign up now, because I know with my curent projects and other obligations, I won't get (m)any done anytime soon, and I'd hate to just have the table sitting in my journal being unfilled. It would make me sad and discourage me, and I REALLY wanna participate! So yeah...that's in the FUUUTURE!!
Lastly, I fully intend, at some point to write a Poets of the Fall Wincest 'verse, because GODDAMN IT every single one of their songs reminds me IN SOME WAY of Sam and Dean!! Which isn't to say most things in life don't (it's an all-consuming fandom, what can I say?), but there is something about the music and lyrics of Poets of the Fall that just makes me think of them...even songs that may be better suited to other subject matter, songs that are OBVIOUSLY written about something else entirely, are just THEM in my head. I've had many a sad, happy, and/or porny daydream thanks to PotF songs, and they're ALWAYS about Sam and Dean. I'm not sure yet whether I want the 'verse to have an interconnecting storyline, or if it's going to just be my own 'snapshots' thing...but either way, I'm gonna do it. I love Supernatural, Wincest, and Poets of the Fall too much to keep letting it all just stew in my head. When I finally do get around to doing this (coz it's not gonna be soon), I'll be sure to link the lyrics or an audio track or something of the song in question with every fic I post. If nothing else, I'm pimping their music, right? It's REALLY unfortunate that, just because they happen to be Finnish, they don't get the kind of coverage and fame they deserve in the US, and maybe just linking them all over the place will help? (but then, I don't want them just labelled as enablers of freaky, gay-incest-shippers either...hmmm.) Whatever. The point is, it's gonna happen!
Life/School:
It was my birthday on Saturday! :D I had an awesome party with my AWESOME friends and had an awesome time!! I'm still kind of riding a high from that day, actually :) hehehe... It was seriously tons of fun, one of the best birthdays I've ever had. Good times, good times. (damn you, Led Zeppelin, get out of my head! >.<)
I'm currently attending summer classes, taking Physical Science and Fundamentals of Music. The first is to fulfill lab-science class requirements, the second is for funsies ;) I'm in class a long time during the day, and when I'm not in class I'm just wandering around on campus (I stopped wandering to play on the Intenet in the library today...fun, huh? lol), so I'll be away from home a lot for the next 6 weeks. Should be interesting...I'm looking forward to every minute. But then again, I've always loved school, loved learning and yearning and striving - I haven't really been doing any of that very much in the last few years, but I've got a good feeling about this semester...wish me luck!! :D
Anywho, that's all I got for today, I should probably get that writing done that I actually came in here to do. Ha! I promise you, Nuria, I'm working on it!! :D

PS: Jesus CHRIST I use a lot of fucking sideways smiley-dudes...gotta cut that shit out, makes me look LAME!
