Well, that's random.

I'm working on a giant speculation/meta post. Me!

I hated the episode last night so much my brain just runneth over. Ugh, I totally fail at keeping my mouth shut. If it's any consolation, I'm always wrong about these things.

But, I just wanted to warn you so when it pops up in a day or so (I'm actually not sure I should post it at all) you won't be like "Wow, THAT's random."

As for other writing stuffs, in case anyone's wondering.

The Overboard rewrite which was for whenboymeetsboy but is now NOT since the deadline is way passed is hovering around 18000 words or so, including what's in my notebook, and as I see it, probably only a third of the way into the second act, so this could be a 30000 plus word fic. But I'm having a ton of fun writing it. I just worry it's going to come off as stupid and corny... le sigh, but hey! Have you SEEN the movie? *shrugs*

Our bigbang is probably around 9000 words and barely into the second act. I'm starting to worry about this one, but I have learned the fine art of writing an entire scene in one or two sentences and hoping for late post date so that I can flesh it out in the rewrite. I wish I could give hints as to what it's about, but I really don't think we're supposed to. I also fear the subject matter will be so touchy by the time it's written that no one will want to read it.

My WIPs continue to languish. But for those of you wondering NO! I haven't dropped them. I really want to finish Sin Nombre in one chapter rather than two so the wait will be worthwhile and bring some closure to that scenario. Cracked is still in progress. I have no idea how long that one will be. Crop Circles is giving me fits as the original story plan was for something epic and greater than 50000 words, probably approaching novel length, but I think maybe that's too ambitious and if I'm going to commit that much time to it, I should just write it as original fiction. That being said, I will continue writing the J2, but it might not be quite as involved as I had originally imagined it.

Nightblindness verse continues to suck my soul. I really want that one to make the transition to original fiction. It's already over 30000 words, and I'm finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel, but right now bigbang is keeping me from tying that up as well. Oh, and then there's Wintersong. Crap!

But the good news is, show has been so depressing I have no desire to start new fiction to burden myself further. LOL.

Although Tracer gave me a good idea last night... DAMN!

Anyway, I'll post the meta in a day or so, and that might end up being the last thing I have to say about show until it's over, because really, I'm tired of the drama.

I saw in your immediate reaction post that some character totally ruined it for you--which one?

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

Zachariah pissed me off, but now that I think about it, I shouldn't be surprised. Angels are canonically dicks. We already know they don't give a damn about Dean. He's like the red-headed stepchild.

[tigriswolf]

I would've preferred the ep ending with Dean and Sam reuniting as Winchesters than another angel trying to send Dean's self-worth to negative million. If he was an angel, which I'm not so sure about.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

I personally think he was in cahoots with Uriel...

I wonder if they remember everything that happened when they were in the AU, like that Dean was smart and went to Stanford and whatnot. *ponders*

hey, at least your bigbang is actually getting written. I've pretty much given up on mine. Besides, you're an amazing writer, I'm sure it'll get done. If not, I'll come smack your muse around a little bit so you can finish all these things. I dunno how you write so much at once!

m'sorry you didn't like the episode. While I wasn't fond of its placement in relation to the rest of the season, I did find myself laughing and being very happy to be watching it. So, I think I didn't mind it.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

I was laughing along right up until then end, and then I wanted to bitchslap Zachariah and half of fandom for agreeing with him. But as I mentioned in the comment above yours I've had a little of an epiphany since then. And now I don't hate Zachariah anymore, though anyone that agrees with him is still on my bitch list.

THIS.

LOL, I ♥ you.

[sams1ra.livejournal.com]

You locked your reaction post, so I couldn't tell you how much I agreed. I pretty much knew this episode was going to suck as soon as I saw who wrote it. *glares at Sera*

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

Haha, I never pay attention to who wrote what. I know I used to enjoy Raelle Tucker's epis a lot. But now that it's been pointed out, yeah, Sera's kinda on my bitch list.

I think I'm glad that I wound up missing last night's episode. I saw the very beginning of it, noticed who wrote it and told my mom it wasn't going to be a good episode, and then I went to take care of some things during the commercial break and missed the rest of the episode.

At least you're writing something. As far as the Overboard retelling goes, don't worry about it coming across as corny because I really don't think it could be told without it being at least a little corny, and as long as you're having fun writing it I'm sure it will turn out fine.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

I think I'm kinda cheesy myself. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or a good thing.

And you should still watch the epi for the pretty. Just leave teh sound off.

Your bigbang has me curious, especially given the little tidbits about it you've dropped in the past. :) I guess I wouldn't worry about the subject matter. Plus, being a good writer goes a long way in turning something that might not be the most popular into something that's readable. Okay, that just sounds awkward, but basically: Good writing = good reading, and I have faith in you. *thumbs up*

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

Aww, you have too much faith in me, but I love ya for it. *smooooshes*

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

9000 words puts you at 7000 ahead of me *sigh* I'm feeling very uninspired.

*g* See, now you've gotten me ridiculously overexcited in anticipation of the Overboard fic. I'm reading stupid and corny as fun and sweet *bonce bounce bounce*
