Lord Have Mercy

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah but I just now made it this far on my Big Bang:



Writing this month has been grueling, but less so than previously, probably because I took lots of days off, lol. Anyhow, the spn_j2_bigbang comm just posted a reminder that there's only 60 days left to go, which means that it's time to buckle down and get my shit together.

The plot is coming easier and I'm not absolutely loathing the story as much as I did at the beginning. Still, I'm hoping that it gets better because I'm not exactly in love with the whole thing. I figure I'm around a third to a half finished. Woo hoo!

Now I'm wondering if anyone will read the damn thing because it's a wildly AU RPF that will likely turn out to be GEN with a side of het. I think there are about two gen RPF pieces in all of fandom. Maybe three.

Oh, and a BIG FAT SORRY to you if I, in my dipshittedness, spoiled you for the SPN episode after failing to put a cut in my last post. It's in there now but I only remembered after a couple of you called me on it. DOH! My only excuse is that I wasn't thinking when I posted, a situation that unfortunately occurs quite often (the not thinking not the posting).

Yay! *runs and hides*

What are those 2 or 3 stories? Would love to check them out.

Don't sweat your story. It'll be what it'll be. That's what you writer types say, yes?

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just need to get the thing down on paper first, I guess. The focus now should be on actually writing something that people would even want to read, lol.

I haven't actually read any of the RPF Gen stories - I've just seen a few here and there linked in the newsletter. Do you get that? spnnewsletter

[kimmer1227.livejournal.com]

I do get the newsletter. All the RPF's I've seen are still basically slash, just without the sex. I'd love to see some J2 fics where they're just buds. Without benefits. :D Maybe too boring to write, I suppose.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I love the friendship stories as well. It's just that stories about sex are so intoxicating, lol! Gotta be in the mood for the others. The one I'm writing is pretty much an original historical story with the boys playing the lead parts.

That's great! I haven't even started and I think I'm gonna do what I ended up doing last year... not make it lol!

I guess I'm one of the lucky fans, wasn't on LJ this whole week so wasn't spoiled ;)

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Well, you're a busy girl with work and all. It's a big commitment of time and effort, that's for sure.

lol - yeah, staying away from LJ sometimes can be a good thing!

Well done on your 15k words so far.

I can't remember if I've read any RPF gen (although, I'm sure I must have done at some point), so I'm looking forward to reading yours . . . might have to skip the het bits though, sorry. ;)

I actually got spoiled for the last epi but not by you, first time this season too.

Hope you are well. x

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks, love! Yeah, I understand skipping the het bits. They are integral to the storyline so they have to be in there, but I definitely understand that they're not for everyone.

I am doing well, thank heavens. Hope things are looking up in your neck of the woods also. &hearts

Whoa! Great job on the 'fic! You're really kicking my butt.

[hi-falootin.livejournal.com]

I love that you're writing gen RPF! XD rock on!

[corbyinoz.livejournal.com]

This is a story I am really looking forward to (read: hanging out for big time!) Keep going, hon!
