Procrastination Technique #345

[queenklu]

Dear Self,

This is an intervention. You cannot keep writing two fics at once and expect to get either or both done before NaNo starts kicking your ass. You need to focus on the one for spn_j2_xmas, because that's a present, it's even a present for someone on your flist, and they will cry if, come Christmas morning, they have no fic in their digital

Don't stop there! I've been dying for Wincest abroad ever since the British fic you recced...*cries*

[queenklu]

I'm not stopping! I'm just stopping......for now. AUGH MY LIFE. *cries with you*

BRB, FLAILING ETERNALLY WHILE I WAIT FOR THIS FIC TO GET FINISHED.

Specifically I will be flailing over this:

Sam grunts and gives the machine a swift kick. Orange and cream colored tickets slip into the slot like an afterthought. Oh, did you really want tickets? Why didn’t you say, love? “God fucking-here.”

Dean fans them out like a deck of cards, looking confused. “Why are there five?”

Why didn't you say, love?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY, LOVE?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY, LOVE?One of my super bulletproof fic kinks is the frustration with public transportation trope. Like that one Star Trek AU where Kirk is new to NYC and gets so frustrated with the subway ticketing machines that he has to mentally restrain himself from using his arcane Midwestern cow-tipping skills on it. Moments like that. SO I WANT THIS SCOTLAND FIC. DECEMBER CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED

NOT GONNA LIE, THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME. (TWICE.) I HATE HATE HATE THOSE AUTOMATIC TICKET MACHINES. And i'm sure i've told you that my first omg-i'm-in-Scotland breakdown was because of the money? I WAS SO SURE I WOULD NEVER FIGURE THAT SHIT OUT.

So, ahem, also SamandDeanareonaHaggisTour. *COFF* >.>

(\O/ STAGE BEAUTY! OH, MY FAVORITE MOVIE. Shit, i think i've lost my post it--D:--but i remembered you gushing over copperbadge enough that i tore through all of his Torchwood fics the week i got back. UM. And anyway, i think Billy Crudup in drag confuses his own sexuality. ;D)

Haaa, yeah, I remember you saying that about the coins. The unbelievably annoying amount of change was the one thing about Britain I never quite got used to while I was over there. I missed paper money so much.

HAGGIS TOUR. <333333333333

I unhelpfully left my post-it at home (D:), but Stage Beauty just happened to finally come up on my Netflix queue after I put it there months ago. The part of the Faerie Queene I had to mainline for class was about Britomart, this lady knight who frequently gets mistaken for a dude, so I have been really feeling the genderqueer this week. Getting Stage Beauty was fate!

[queenklu]

And there's just so many different types, you know? Who the hell needs a two pence coin? NOBODY.

(I might sneak two girls on the bus who read the Gospel of Chuck and slash Sam and Dean. Undecided. Also: Flick. I think she should get eaten by something mythological, y/y?)

Haha, aaaaah i wish i wasn't squicked by genderswap. It would open a Whole New World of fic for me :(

[dodger_sister]

Hey! Just poking you to say I am also on the bandwagon for more of this - when you have time. It seems like awesome amounts of fun (as it will be, what with you writing it) and I look forward to more!

Also - I am totaly on-board with this - On Dean’s List of Things to Do in Britain, Sam is pretty sure it ranks just below Visit John Bonham’s Grave and right above Bang a Chick Wearing a Union Jack T-Shirt.

[queenklu]

I will definitely one day finish this! It might send me into a spiral of nostalgic semi-depression, BUT. THAT'S A PRICE I'M WILLING TO PAY.

...I may or may not wind up writing out Dean's entire List of Things to Do in Britain. He would be KICK ASS at Pub Quizes.
