hells_half_acre | Urge to Write Rising....

I don't know what it is with me the last few days, but I suddenly want to write ALL THE THINGS. Except, I already have a few things on the go that I need to FINISH.

Today I was listening to Storyboard on Geek and Sundry over at YouTube while I worked - because there are some days where my job is so monotonous that if I don't have something to listen to, I go into a coma. Anyway, Storyboard is "Hangout" with a bunch of fantasy authors talking about writing, and it's something I can tune in and out of as required by my job...

But man, today it made me want to write the epic fantasy novel that I had an idea for ten years ago - so that's what I've been mentally doing for the past two hours, even though I have fanfic to finish... also, my epic fantasy novel doesn't have a plot, it just has a main character... and I don't even know his name or what he looks like, I just know who he is and I love him. So really, all I've been doing for the past two hours is thinking about an awesome guy that I made up ten years ago... and when I put it like that, it sounds rather pathetic.

In completely unrelated news: I follow some teenagers on tumblr who can't tell the difference between legitimate photos and manips... and it makes me want to weep for the future, because honestly, it should be pretty bloody obvious that that's Jensen's head on the body of a porn star. I feel like this should be taught in Junior High at some point: "Okay, Class, today, we're going to cover how to spot manips so that you don't look like an idiot on the internet - you'll thank me later."

Also, completely unrelated: Is it just me or has LJ been crazy quiet as of late? I feel like I even have less people chatting with me here. Maybe it's because I stopped writing epic Harry Potter crossovers? Maybe it's because people have moved on from the show? Maybe people have moved on from LJ? Maybe everyone is on tumblr reblogging manips? I don't know. Tumblr is far more narcissistic than LJ, which is I think part of the reason why I can't get into it that much. I basically only use it to look at pretty pictures of good-looking men... and to keep tabs on the Sherlock fandom.

Well, obviously this means that I just have to write more so that you can talk to me more often again. ;)

I don't have any plans at the moment for a post S7 SPN fic... probably the next demented'verse timestamp will be one, but I think that's a ways off (I'll have to check my demented'verse timeline again, but I think the earliest that I can write is this summer, and depending how they leave the storyline, I may have to wait until next year.)

And I have an idea for a bridging fic between S7-S8, but you don't need to watch S8 to read it... unless for some reason you don't want to be spoiled at all.

But yeah... you are totally allowed to still like Jared and Jensen and miss the shenanigans of the fandom and not particularly want to watch the show, so don't feel bad. I still like the actors in Doctor Who and enjoy seeing the gif-sets on Tumblr, but I don't watch it anymore.

And quite frankly, if S8 of Supernatural hadn't gotten better, I'd have probably drifted away from it as well...since I was REALLY unimpressed with S7. But the writers have turned it around for me, and seeing as how I'm enjoying it again and there's probably only two years left, I figure I may as well stick it out until the end.

Or that I...become more interesting? Hmm...

See this is the thing. Sometimes I think I want to start watching it again, cos all I'm missing is SE7EP22 and S8, so it's not like it'd take me forever. And I see Kevin and Linda Tran and sort of wish they had been around FOREVER (and oh my Kevin Tran is an attrative man. Osric? :/ His name is something like that). But the reviews of S8 that I've read have been very hit and miss, especially regarding Sam, so...

Haha, hey, it's not your fault that I'm not into sports. :P I can talk about hockey a little bit, but that's only because I'm Canadian and it seems to be a cultural requirement.

Osric Chau - and yes, he IS an attractive man, and thankfully older than his character so I don't have to feel too creepy thinking so. :P

I wouldn't pay too much attention to reviews. It's better just to check things out for yourself and form your own opinions. A lot of the time, I'm not even sure I'm watching the same show as other people... it's such a subjective thing.

Personally, I think Sam's storyline in the second half of the season is stronger than his storyline in the first half, but that's just proof that, at least in my opinion, it's only getting better.

But again, it's SO subjective that I wouldn't ask you to rely on my testimony either. If you get a chance, watch a couple of episodes and see what you think. If you still aren't interested in watching, fine, but just don't let other people's opinions dissuade you.

It has to be said, apart from rugby, I'm not into sports either. Though I think I could do ice hockey, because it too involves SMASHING. :P

Osric Chau. I will remember this. Because... reasons. :P

That is very very true. And I may try again, eventually. Because I really do miss it. I just... couldn't with the end half of S7. And it's a miracle I got to S7 anyway, because I have very very few fond memories of S6. *shrugs* We'll see. And if all else fails, I will always have the gag reels. :D

(no idea why that ended up where it did. Sorry.)

Oh man, the other week an Ottawa Sens player got his Achilles tendon severed by an ice skate. *shudder*

Yeah, S7 pissed me off too. I think they're doing a pretty good job this year of opening back up the mythology and getting supporting cast back on the show... there were some rough seas in the first half of the season, but so far I'm really liking the back half. We'll see though...

As you point out, there's plenty of ways to still enjoy aspects of fandom without watching the show. There's gag reels and convention videos...and if you've decided you don't care about spoilers, the occasional funny interview with one or both of the boys.

Eep. Well good luck to him, whoever he is.

I think finger and ankle injuries are more common in rugby actually. They ahve a great deal of rules to try and keep head injuries to a minimum. In fact, on average you get more serious injuries playing football (soccar) than you do in rugby. But rugby is more dangerous (people have died playing rugby).

I knew Charlie had come back. Woo! Hmm... this is getting more tempting. We'll see. I haven;t atucally watched a TV show since I stopped watching SPN. I just haven't felt like it. But if I get the urge, I think I will try this. Just a question, does anything important happen at the end of S7, other than Dean going to Purgatory?

I like some! Like the one abot the pennies, and the one with the time lag on the screens behind them. And the candy war one. :P OH and Misha's CV. Pffahaha. :D

YEY GAG REELS. I think the only gag reel that is better than SPNs is Firefly's. BEST. :D
