Fandom Update

There’s a Finnish saying: “Kukas kissan hännän nostais, ellei kissa itse.” It translates roughly to “Who’s going lift the cat’s tail, if not the cat herself?” which seems like an excellent excuse for some self-promotion…

Oh people I have thingies for you, yes indeedy! I have been busy…

• Posting Porny Music! Dirty, nasty songs just for you, go check it out. 

• Squeeing about Connotations!!! OMG people, I’m going! For reals! I’ve sent the registration form and cheque and booked the accommodation! pushkin666 and myself are sharing a cottage, because it’s much cheaper than the hotel. We need two other people to share, so if you think talking about slashy shows and slash-fic writing with meeeeeee (and a lot of other people) 12-14 October in Tynemouth sounds like a fantastic idea, go check out the con website… Sharing the cottage with pushkin666 and yours truly for three nights will only cost £50 plus whatever we spend on food/drinks. *tempts F-list*

• Sorting out the next four Themed Vid Recs of Doom, so you can anticipate a barrage of quality fanvids over the summer. I know a lot of you only d/l vids that are in the fandoms you know/follow, which while understandable, means you miss out on some fabulous stuff. Take a walk on the wild side! You might find something shiny…

• Flailing like a big flaily thing, and making noises that cause bats to change course on five-mile radius, because someone/s *eyes F-list suspiciously* went and nominated four of my stories for a sgdiverse_award. So, Atlantis Santa, Five Things Carson and Rodney Share (and never thought they would), Simple Pleasures, and Unfair are all in the running, and the voting starts on the 15th and lasts until 30th. I’m not telling you this because I want you to go and vote for my stories. No, I’m telling you because you should go and check out all the fantastic stories nominated. sgdiverse_award is for the rarer m/m, f/f, and various three- or moresome slash stories (i.e. no het as main pairing and no McKay/Sheppard) and aims to showcase the best the fandom has to offer in these less-known categories. Go broaden your horizons people!

• Finishing the last two of the meme answers. So, pushkin666 can expect to learn about my version of John Winchester and claudia_writes about hustler!Sam. I will post the answers over the next few days.

• Working on mine and razorxrosary’s new anywhere_road Verse. There’s not much there yet, except the Verse synopsis in the community User Info and FAQs but once we start posting fics, I’ll pimp it to high heaven, because it’s the BEST THING EVER OMG. Seriously. Possibly even better than chocolate.

• Writing fic! Really, really. Who knows, something may even get finished! o_O Currently I have five (yes, I counted: five. *facepalm*) Supernatural fics on the go and other smaller things in a variety of fandoms: SGA, House, Primeval (wtf, entangled_now I blame you), also maybe a little bit about the Doctor, Jack and the mysterious Unicorn… uhm, would anyone want to know more about that?

I’m all squeed out now (too much sugar first thing in the morning – mmmmm… pancakes…). I should possibly go write something suitably angsty and sad. Perhaps that SPN fic for the evil!Sam challenge where Dean has gone quietly crazy and lives imprisoned in a hotel room while the world is burning? Yeeeees… *rubs hands gleefully*

Fantastic. I'm not sure which I should be squeeing about the most, the meme, the stories, the music porn mix *g*. Oh I love your evil!Sam idea.

The fact that you've started writing Primeval fics is possibly the best news I have heard all week. If it is indeed entangled_now's doing, then she deserves some kind of shiny prize.

Also: you pimped anywhere_road! *victory arms*

So many shiny things to be excited about! Porny music, fic, vid recs of doom, me encouraging you to write Primeval stuff (I think I do deserve a shiny prize, I do!) I want to read them all...and yes even the Jack/Doctor/Unicorn fic.....and yes looking at the way I've just written that probably best not to take it as an actual pairing?

evil!Sam challenge where Dean has gone quietly crazy and lives imprisoned in a hotel room while the world is burning?

Yes, please write this, it would be beautiful and wrong and beautiful... *twitch*
