Awwwww! The season is almost over and we'll have to wait a whole year for more summer xmas!

On the whole, it was a pretty good season, taking all things into consideration. I was disapointed that a few folks I'd hoped to see again were not here, thrilled to see the folks I wait for all year.

I left most of my comments on LJ because I like leaving comments here better than AO3. It's more intimate, which is goofy because it's not true, just feels like it. I felt no embarrassment about going on and on if I liked a story--ha! I'm improving. :D Plus, at this point, when folks see my name, they know I'm about to flail some on their page, right?

New folks--good job for finishing a tough challenge, keep writing, find a tough beta. Unless you're like me, then just lurk around looking sad until some one is willing to help you *and* cater to your doughy soft interior. Remember, whenever you write something so beautiful it just makes your heart soar and is guaranteed to make the reader burst into tears of joy, it's probably crap. I'm not kidding.

Folks who have been writing forever, thank you for showing us how it's done. I'll be stealing shit from you studying how you do it in a bid to be better myself, for as long as I write.

wendy, a million thanks for all you do to keep this challenge going. You're a champion, and also, an incredibly nice--and I can swear to this-- *patient* person.

*waves little flag* Yay for another great season! I love you all! I don't know, I'm overcome with love today--quick, hugs and kisses before I become my normal self again!!

This season's BB has been a great one for SF lovers. Gaaaaaah—hate saying sci-fi!! Ack! It's hard for us come up in the 60s. It used to be a way to tell the posers from the trufans 'cause only posers said sci-fi. Dang, children—I'm old. And kinda crabby, and totally off topic….


Here are some recs of what I've read so far, in no particular order. Read! Enjoy! Whenever I can, I include a link to the work posted on LJ. If you do read the fic on LJ, please leave a comment there! I'll add stories as I read them. ;D

Summary: Ever since Dean pushed Sam away and into a normal life, Dean's been spiraling downwards. He's screwing up on the job. He's never gotten over his dad's death. He's not sure he loves his girlfriend anymore. Sam hates his guts and with good reason, what kind of jerk sleeps with their little brother's prom date? He's backslid and fallen off the wagon, he's worrying his mom to death. The problem is he doesn't really remember living this miserable life….

Notes/Warnings: written for the spn_j2_bigbang. underage, infidelity, non-graphic reference to drug use, alcoholism. Sam is a bit of an asshole at the beginning, but he has his reasons.

For more specific warnings, this will be posted and thoroughly tagged at AO3, very soon!

The ending of my BB has turned into straight porn, hundreds upon hundreds of words of porn. So far, I'm okay with it. Kind of surprised, but hey, what the heck. I'm going with the flow. and now I'm wanting to ladle in some more porn elsewhere. It always takes me a bit but once I get going...porn is good. Also, thanks so much to big_heart_june for the lovely inspiration she provides daily. :D

I'm so yakky today--I was a terror at work, all friendly and affirming to the folks cluttering up my fitting room. "Yass, darling--buy that bathing suit. Show those tattas while they're still showable--what are you, fifty? You've got a good ten years to flash the goods, get on that."

See? Affirming. I also very politely put a stop to a shoplifter, snagged their swag and saved the store, well, not much, about fifty bucks--but still! I WAS BATMAN.
Remind me to tell you some shoplifter stories some day. They're pretty damn amusing.

Okay, back to shoving Sam's dick in Dean's ass. ( I just lost a ton of potential readers, didn't I?)

So, new plan vis-à-vis my Big Bang--I'm gonna cut the last section and call it good. Huzzah! Good plan! Yes! So much win!

*settles back with ice-cream and a sense of accomplishment* Shhhh! Don't ruin this for me with logic!

So, here she is, Soap Opera Supernatural!

and my artist is writer786. I look forward to working with you! :)

Wishing all the moms on my list a happy day!

I'm in Virginia, visiting my brother so it will be hit and miss for me today. I see that not only is it Mother's Day but it's also Choosing Day. Good luck to all the BB participants and I hope you get paired with lovely artists/writers. Also, please lord let someone pick me. Poor old SOS, you've gone through the struggle, you deserve someone to be nice to you. ;D

Answering comments when I can. Thank you so much guys, your well-wishes and hugs mean so much to us! ♥

I have a title!! Finally!! It's so freaking hard to come up with a title! After calling Soap Opera SpN SOS for the longest time and then calling it something else and then wondering why the hell I was calling it that, this kind of popped up and it's perfect! Or as perfect as a title ever gets, y'know.

So, I bowed to peer pressure and the weight of the world and got a smart phone because my other phone...well, at least it had a pretty face. What have I learned since getting this brand new phone? I am an idiot.

I've seen many, many elderly people with their phones and they seem to be doing more than squinting at them and yelling, "WHAT? WHAT? I JUST WANT TO MAKE A FUCKING CALL!" so I have hope for myself. One day, my friends, and soon....

My SpNJ2BB, henceforth to be know as "The Soap Opera Fic", is coming along pretty well. We are at a bit more than 7000 words and tonight I plan to add at least 1000 more. *shakes pom-poms for self*

BG is home for the weekend. She has tried to help me with my phone, but after a while, she claimed that the president was calling and she just had to take that call, ciao, mother. I suspect that was an untruth....

This afternoon, we had lunch at Wegmans Food, one of those grocery stores that imagines it's much more than it is. They do have a nice deli section and seating area. I had a bunch of different little salads just to play it safe--no possibility of dairy or bad fats--and we had a really nice time together. Lots of giggling over nothing.

Last night, I talked to The Niece and got to talk about SpN to my heart's content. It's always fun talking to her--she's so funny and smart, it's a joy, and it's fantastic that we share a lot of fandom loves. I ran my BDSM/slave story idea past her and she loved it, so I really have to gather some info together for that.

Look! A post totally free of whining! Miraculous! :D
