I could make a joke about my fandom dance card, but I'll spare you.

It's going to be a busy summer for me in terms of fandom.

First, I have Animazement which is HOLY SHIT in two weeks. I really need to a) find my camera b) find a suitcase and c) decide if I'm going to bring the laptop with me, which since I'll be on the train I probably should. azure_raven, aduial_peredhel I'd ask if you'd want me to bring any of my 10 thousand dvds, but ( Read more... )

wbb, tv, animazement, anime, prime suspect, family, grimm, nbc, fandom

AND NOW I'M WONDERING IF I SHOULD DO WWB AS WELL. I mean, my original plan was not to do it this year (and feel a little ashamed that I never got around to organising HWBB, but there's the Exchange and next year, right?). But now I'm thinking, well, I could always add another 20k to my current TL mod AU (and then realise that IT'LL BE AT LEAST 30K IN LENGTH, LOLWEEPING)

But, omg, Shan. I am so excited for what you will be writing for WBB. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS? I KNOW YOU'RE STILL FIGURING OUT ANY SOLID IDEAS, BUT WHAT OF VAGUE ONES?

Will re-read that ficlet! I caught it last night right before bed and reveled in the glory of Ray-Ray for a second before falling asleep (go self).

You should take a trip back up to NY sometime, when you manange. Y'know, without the requirement of stockings and heels.

I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT! (And you know that mod AU is going to be huge anyway, in for a penny, in for a pound I say!) (And the Exchange shall be awesome. As will a chance for the HWBB next year. I just hope more Pacific/BoB people show up for WBB this year.)

I have NO CLUE what I'll be writing. I know it will be AU, b/c of my whole "issues" and I really, really, want to showcase The Pacific crew, but know it will probably crossover with BoB. I've had one very vague idea about a Supernatural Cop AU thing, but I don't know if that will be too left field. I really need to have a brain storming session about it.

I always try to make plans to go up to NY and stay with my godmother, but something always falls through. At least least I passed by the area on the move down from Boston. Le sigh.

YOU KNOW I HAVE NO RESISTANCE WHEN IT COMES TO CAPS, SHAN /SIGNS UP. (And, hey, even if I don't get the entry finished, I think I'd be def close to wrapping up once it's over anyway, so win-win how's I see it.) (And def agreeing on more TP/BoB representation this year. At least I know there's you'n me!)

Supernatural Cop AU thing does sound pretty interesting. Kind of like, say, Dresden Files-esque? Either way, I know whatever you'll come up with'll be awesome and I can't wait.

Ah, well. It sucks, but one day, right!

ALL HAIL THE POWER OF THE CAPS LOCK. (Also, eeeeee!) And yeah, if you don't finish, at least you'll get a ton of work done on it.

See, I'm debating of doing something Dresden Files-esque, something Buffy-esque, or something that's just an Alt. World where magic and all those things is these norm and this is just your normal police force or something.

As I said, I still need to think/stew about it. I'm going to give myself until after I come back from the anime con weekend and then start plotting things out.

Thank you, bb! I am really, really leaning that way, because the idea has been swirling around my head for months now. I think I'm probably going to go for some alt verse where magic/monster is the norm, just to switch it up and not be TOO Dresden Files/Buffy/Being Human/Grimm-esque. Or maybe something vaguely 10th Kingdom-y or Tin Man/Alice-ish where someone gets sucked into an alt! world where this is the norm.

omg words cannot express my excitement properly enough THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SUPERNATURAL AU'S IN THE WORLLLLD :DDDDDD

and kalsjdfksd sadface at myself at the fact that i've never seen any of the shows you mentioned--i think it's time for me to find torrents y/y?

There really aren't enough Supernatural AUs and I know part of it is the horror/fantasy genre throws people off, but come on, Urban Fantasy can be awesome ( ... )

looking up grimm right now!

i think i've seen commercials for being human! i don't think i was that intrigued by the commercials tbh--maybe i'll look it up again and see xD

10th kingdom sounds really interesting! and a miniseries! i approve! i'll see what i can do about finding it :D :D

!!! for some reason, i can't see buck as a tin man at all. AM DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE TO AT LEAST YOUTUBE THIS! and whoaaaa at all of the bob/tp alum popping up all over the place--i keep seeing them guest starring everywhere--LIKE THE TIME JON SEDA WAS ON HAWAII FIVE-0 AND I HAD TO PAUSE TO MAKE SURE IT WAS HIM ON IMDB.

Grimm is starting in the fall, and I legit, cannot wait.

10th Kingdom owns my tiny little fairy tale loving heart. As I said, it's cheesetastic, but I can't help the love.

Well, in Tin Man, the tin man is more, like, a sheriff with a tin bage (a tin man, *ba dum bum*) but that's a whole other story.

I saw Jon Seda on Burn Notice, like, last season or something and I was the same way. I had to go right to imdb to figure out it was him.

HI CREEPING, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY DO WWB. =D

Reply

uniformly May 16 2011, 00:12:13 UTC
LOL, I totally am. I think the rest of my year in terms of fandom contribution will be this WBB entry, those prompts, and the Exchange.

HEY, ARE YOU GOING TO DO WBB? I mean, not as a writer. But you do make some badass fanmixes. Y'know, just sayin' /enables harder.

skylilies May 16 2011, 00:18:09 UTC
yes ♥ I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS. WRITIIING.

MAYBE SOME DAY IN MY FAR FUTURE I WILL BE ABLE TO DO WBB AS A WRITER. ....jenny totally did enable me into writing a 1400+ word TP fic (WHICH IS LONG FOR ME LMFAO. THE LAST TIME I WROTE A CHAPTERED FIC I WAS UM. FOURTEEN. AND IT WAS HORRIBLE, OKAY.) so ....maybe some day the length of my writing will increase =D and i didn't know you could do fanmixes for it! I DO ENJOY MY MIXING.

uniformly May 16 2011, 00:23:06 UTC
Jen's powers of enabling are an amazing thing, ngl. And I still have to read that fic. Ugh, why so behind, self?

You can def do fanmixes as a Crafter! Details are here, if you wanted to check it out 8D

...i have found i suddenly become more productive when i'm attempting to talk to her while she's writing. I DO BETTER AT WRITING AT SAME TIME AS OTHER PEOPLE? otherwise i tend to get annoyed with the fic and distracted, haha. and i think you commented on one of my fics a bit ago! (the leckie!centric one, maybe?)

...contemplating. i did a mix for help_japan so i'm a little more confident about my abilities to get it done on time/as a request =D OH MY GOD YOU ARE ALL ENABLERS.

rivlee May 16 2011, 00:38:24 UTC
Well, damn, you've figured out our enabling ways. ;)

I second, Nat on the fanmix enabling. Esp since you can do it BOTH for the exchange and WBB. Just throwing the idea out there. *whistles*
