It's almost like I'm an author!

Oh man guys! Look what sentra04 made:



It's Damned Demented Demons ... IN BOOK FORM.

LIke, it's actually THE SIZE OF A NOVEL...and I knew it was 100,000+ words, but for some reason actually SEEING it in bound in novel form is just astounding to me. And then I think that I wrote not one but TWO stories of that length, plus all the little individual stories and Seers, Souls, and Scotland...guys, I've basically wrote 2 novels and a book of related short-stories in 3 years.

And it has my NAME on it sort of...and and...franztastisch's lovely 'verse fan-art....and man, I am so thrilled. Let's look at it again:



You know, this makes me feel so damn accomplished, that it doesn't even matter that I don't have a job and I'm completely broke and I've been living below the poverty-line for the past four years.

sentra04 is going to make me a copy (she's also going to do Vile Violent Vacations and possibly the other stories and send me those too)...and I'm going to sit it on my shelf and when my original-fic novel is rejected by publishers, I'm going to look at it and think "Hey, at least the Supernatural Fandom loves me and thinks I write well, and they are the ONLY ONES WHO MATTER."

(It'll go on the shelf next to my Master's thesis, which is another thing that I'm quite proud of.)

(And yes, I realize that a lot of people in the Supernatural Fandom write novel-length fic/multiple novel-length fic every year....I'm just saying that MY GOODNESS WE ARE ALL AWESOME! DON'T YOU GUYS FEEL AWESOME?!)

I really have no idea. Maybe Euston? It wasn't anything particularly memorable, so I choose that one. I think otherwise I would have remembered it.

You need a car for Ireland. I'd probably be alright in the UK, but I found getting around Ireland without a car to be very difficult...especially if you want to see things outside of the major cities.

Eh, doesn't really matter anyway. :P Though you can tell easy depending on where you were coming from/going to.

Actually, true. I forgotten about that.

Oh, well, I was coming on an overnight train from Mallaig/Edinburgh, and I was leaving on a train to Liverpool.

[franztastisch]

Yup, Euston then. :P

Mystery solved! :)

[franztastisch]

Most boring mystery in the history of ever. :P

LOL ...so I guess we aren't the next Sherlock Holmes and John Watson then?

[franztastisch]

Well, I could be a John I guess. But a lot less awesome. nd less invalided. And less army-oriented. So really, I can't be a John. And there's no way I could be a Sherlock. So unless you are a master sleuth masquerading as an awesome fanfic writer I think we're going to have to find other career paths. Sad times.

I will cross that life-dream off the list then! :P
