she's a hurricane in all kinds of weather
Late this afternoon, I suddenly realized that tomorrow is Dean's birthday, and I don't really have a story ready. I should have saved the one I posted today, I guess. So now I am looking at the wsip and trying to figure out what I could do quickly and yet well, and the choices seem to come down to some girl!Sam porn, which I'm pretty sure I could bang out in a few hours, or the Dean/Kaylee story I've been meaning to write for ages. The girl!Sam idea is new, so it's kind of like a bonus; everything else I've thought of is stuff that's already on the list. Hmm...
But I did post fic today:
100,000 Airplanes
Supernatural; Sam and Dean; g; 1,700 words
According to Japanese folklore, a person who folds a thousand cranes will have their wish granted.
I've had this story idea for a long time, possibly even before I started the whole West Wing title thingy, but I didn't feel capable of writing it, because in the original conception, it was from John's POV, and i just have no handle on him or his voice at all. But on Saturday, as amberlynne and I wandered through the Met, I told her about it, and she said, "Well, tell it from Dean's POV, via flashback." And last night, I went to dinner with fleurdeleo, and I was telling her about it, and then when I was getting ready to shut the computer down and go to bed, it hit me. Well, after three or four false starts. And I stayed up until 3am last night writing it, which meant my brain was pretty much day-old banana pudding today. But I don't know if it was the exhaustion or the sangria, but this is one of the rare times one of my own stories has made me sniffly, and this one did while I was writing. I'm glad other people found it moving, as well. Thank you.
And last week, I also posted Sports Night fic - and I actually included Casey in it! It's not that I don't like Casey? I just... get very resentful on Dan's behalf. Um. When I watch the show, I do love Casey, but when I am far away from it, I kind of don't.
*waves hands*
Anyway. fic:
Slow News Day
Sports Night; Dan/Dana/Casey; adult; 1,015 words
They all know it's a mistake, but where Dan is expecting awkwardness in the morning, there's just them.
Now I need to go take a shower, and then get to writing.
