Just some random blah...

I'm getting excited about our spn_cinema entry. \o/ geckoholic has been sending me updates of her story and I've started to mess around with some ideas for the vid. This is a new thing for me and I LOVE doing new stuff. Ooooh... and the story is AWESOME!

I'm dreadfully jealous reading all the festivids letters. I would love to be taking part but after having to withdraw

It's funny but I have never once listened to a podfic. I mean to, but it just never occurs to me when I have the means to do so. What J2 are you listening to?

I hear you on the RL stuff. I'm home today from teaching unexpectedly with a sick (but not too sick!) kid. Because it's kind of a bonus day, I'm incredibly tempted to write something but two fics in a couple days seems like overkill. :/

Any vids coming any time soon, what with all the gorgeous eps we're getting? Not that I'm hinting or anything... :)

[harrigan]

No, it's not overkill!! (At least, to start another one.) I have to confess, I do like shangrilada's fic, which I saw you rec'ing here, and I am rec'ing her in the next spn_littlebro newsletter. (So, thanks for that!) But a lot of short similar fics are better spread out - as much as I liked them, I found I couldn't appreciate them as much when I read them all in one day as if I had read one every week or two.

So - start something new. You don't have to finish it asap!

(And ash48, sorry for hijacking the comment thread! LOL! In fact, let me invite you in it to ask - when do you listen to podfics? I only do when I'm driving out of town.)

[ash48]

Hey sweets.. never apologise for joining a discussion! <333

(I was wondering if we were too late to rec Deb's latest story. I'm thinking yes, but I will rec it on the comm anyway. Maybe next newsletter. :)

I listen to podfics when I drive to and from work, walk the dog and run my daughter around. I barely go a day without listening to something. With all the running around I do with my daughter I am in the car a lot. :)

[harrigan]

Yeah - you can add one more rec! (Since I agree with it and all *g*).

I just read Nun hat er nichts mehr lieb by honeylocusttree and would totally add that, except I found it on

[harrigan]

I'm interested in your discussion of porn in fanfic. I think! I probably don't feel comfortable participating in a public discussion (because my opinions might be unpopular, and to many that means the person holding that opinion should be unpopular, too), but I'd be interested in the topic! Depending on what it really was... *g*

[ash48]

Yeah.. this is the tricky part. How to hold a discussion when there will be many points of view and no doubt some sensitive issues. The focus would be on "morality" - (which is itself is tricky). More specifically writing and reading types of porn that in RL you'd never condone. (abuse fic for example) That kind of thing.

And whether it could possibly have a potential negative effect on people. There's the positives too, which is why I've been debating having a discussion.

Oh man.. it would be pretty heavy I think.

[sothcweden]

I'm guessing that you're listening to Everything Feels Like the End of the World, right? I think that I remember Missy from that... Sorry you're running out of podfics! I'm in the opposite camp right now - I've been stockpiling them for knitting season! And I'm so far behind, but I promise that I'll be finishing at least one new J2 AU podfic by the end of the year, so feel free to poke at me about it.

[ash48]

Yes! That's the one. :) I did rec it as such because I have only just started it and I don't know how it will go. I'm loving it so far.

And when you say finish a J2 AU podfic... you mean recording one? If so.. yeah. I'll poke ya about it. :)

[sothcweden]

Yep, recording one. I'm appallingly far behind on my podfic commitments, but I'm determined to finish the J2 AU one before the end of the year. I'd say sooner, but there are three other (shorter ones) ahead of it in the queue. They're not J2 or SPN, so probably not your cup o' tea.

[ash48]

I didn't know you made podifcs. Are there some SPN / J2 ones I've missed of yours? (in other words do you podfic under the same username?)

I really only listen to fics in my show. Man, I even tried some other pairings in the SPN 'verse (other than my OTP) but.. nah.. just couldn't do it.

[tiniowien]

*wistful sigh* A big SPN con in Aus would be brilliant. I'm planning on going to AHBL next year but so far neither of the boys are confirmed so it looks like secondary characters only. Still... One never knows so I have my fingers crossed in small hope. :P

[ash48]

A con would be pretty cool wouldn't it?! I went to AHBL a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I'm waiting to hear if the boys will be attending (or maybe even one?) to see if I'll go this time. Though... I might anyway. We'll see,

I'm a firm believer that Castiel does indeed love Dean canonically

Oh yes. I have no doubt Cas loves Dean. In his very angelic way. For me though it's purely non sexual. In fact, I see Cas as asexual. I think that's way I find it hard to buy Dean/Cas. I dunno... just doesn't do it for me or something.

But yes. Dean even admitting Cas is a good friend is quite something for him.

Though I do enjoy all the innuendo ;)

ETA: I just saw your edit. Thanks for the links. :) I've watched a few Dean/Cas vids and some have been awesome. <3

[tiniowien]

I um'd and ah'd about going to next year's AHBL (as I've never been to a con before) but in the end decided what the heck, it coincides perfectly with the end of my trip so I can jump across and see it. :D Now that I've made the decision, I'm getting pumped almost regardless of who makes an appearance.

In fact, I see Cas as asexual.

You know I totally and utterly did too (I missed all the googly eyes and insanely long stares etc), right up until S5 I think, when it seemed like I pretty much got hit in the face with the possibility of the pairing. It amuses me I guess, because I watch the episodes with an eye for Wincest and then go back and re-watch the ep a few days later with my mates and sometimes Dean/Cas things hit me, other times they slide right by until I read something that skews it that way.

The inuendo is hilarious. It just makes me love more this show that seems to cater for not just one, but several large chunks of it's fans.

And you're most welcome. :)

[ash48]

Oh it's totally worth going. Misha is a scream. He's very entertaining and he's go damn attractive. I left the auditorium at one point and wandered into the foyer and he was just there, waiting for everyone to come out for photo signing and I have the chance to just stop and stare... and stare...

The last one was very casual. I had a chance to chat to Sam Ferris. And all the actors were SO lovely. It was great to catch up with some fans also. :)

Which con are you going to? Melb or Sydney? If I go it will be the Sydney one as I have family there.

And yeah. Making this vid on Cas I get to see all those longing looks. :) I still haven't found a way to get to them as a pair though. Probably because it messes with my Sam/Dean. :) Though I've been reading a story with that pairing and they look after a sick Sam. I've been able to do that. :)
