hells_half_acreHow's everyone doing?
Question #1: Do you think I should try selling my Supernatural Pillow on etsy or something? I don't know... I'm trying to think of ways I can make a little extra money without leaving my house or doing anything that I don't want to do. The problem with this idea though is that the pillow takes a while to make... They'd also be like $50 BEFORE shipping, and shipping something pillow sized from Canada is ridiculous. On the other hand, I have the knowledge to turn ANY two-colour design into a pillow now... so I could make a lot of different things for different people and that might be fun, right?
Update #1: After a year of obsessively consuming Teen Wolf fic, my interest is finally starting to wane (in the fic, not the show), which means that I have a bit more time on my hands (because I'm not "wasting" it reading fic.) That being said, the latest Captain America movie has birthed a plethora of my absolute favourite kind of fic. The funny thing is that I haven't actually seen EITHER of the Captain America movies, but I don't even care - I just want all the Post-CA:WS fics. ALL OF THEM. I'm in love with horribly broken people who are never going to get better.
Questions #2: For those who like the demented'verse and/or Harry Potter - What profession do you think Teddy Lupin would go into? Also, can you think of a good demented'verse plot that would fit in well with either S8 or S9 of SPN? Because I can't.
Update #2: I'm super bored with my life... which makes sense. I've been living in Vancouver for nearly 5 years and living in this apartment for nearly 3 years. Is that right?! My god. I'm going to be dead before I know it.
Question/Update #3: I've finally started working on the fantasy novel idea that I started playing around with last year during my April Ficlet month. Let me know if anyone is interested in being readers/sounding-boards for whatever crap I manage to write every week or so. I won't be offended if no one does, however... maybe I don't need the pressure. Also, I know that the last novel project I tried didn't work out the best, because people prefer reading on a webpage and also the last 1/4 of the novel sucked donkey-balls. Though, in fairness, I did warn when the project started that there would be a good chance that the novel might end up sucking... this fantasy novel is no different, though I have HIGH HOPES (despite the fact that I haven't really worked out the plot completely yet.)
Update #4: I had a medical condition that I didn't realize I had because I acquired it slowly. Then I mentioned one of the symptoms to my best friend, because it was the best symptom ever and I was bragging... and he pulled the whole "Please see a doctor because I love you" card and I was super annoyed, because UGH BFF GUILT IS THE WORST.. and I didn't want to lose my super awesome symptom... BUT, then I got diagnosed and everything and it turned out that I actually had a bunch of not-awesome symptoms that had all snuck up on me... and as soon as the not-awesome symptoms started going away, I realized just how much better my life was without them... and basically, this is all a long winded way to say: Hey, guess what! I was kind of sick for probably the past whole year AT LEAST, but now I'm not anymore and it means that I have way more energy for things and I'm feeling pretty great!.. which is apparently how people are SUPPOSED to feel, but I had forgotten.
Question #5: Do you think I should do another ficlet month? I'm feeling a little uninspired when it comes to fanfiction recently... but I've been debating whether I just need to maybe do it anyway and maybe the juices will start flowing again? (That saying is so gross.) Anyway.. last year I did ficlets from vague non-fandom specific prompts.. but maybe if I did it again I could do requests? Or have like a schedule with a different fandom each day of the week or something? Anyway, let me know your thoughts.
Okay, that's it from me. Hope you all are well... and still around... so many people have migrated to tumblr, but I am not a good tumblrer.

Date: 2014-05-04 04:41 pm (UTC)Exactly! What you've written doesn't seem like the auror type. Another idea - St. Mungo's mindhealer? I seem to remember how he was with Nate in that last fic... or working with children? The fun with hair/metamorphagus stuff would be great with kids - and as the oldest of the Potter/Weasley horde.. dunno?
Sorry - the You've always heard it - that's kinda me too. "Go get that checked out" - turned out my husband had thyroid cancer!
:) I haven't seen any buffy stuff out of you - but they have a thing in August at twistedshorts that's fun..

Date: 2014-05-04 08:53 pm (UTC)Yeah, I was wondering about that when I first started hearing what happened in CA:WS - because I realized how LARGE an impact it would have on AoS.

Oh, healer is an interesting idea! They don't yet have a healer in the family... and I WAS leaning more towards having him be into herbology, which would translate well to healing in the Potter'verse, in my opinion.

Oh man! I hope your husband is okay! My thing wasn't all that bad, just a relatively minor thing that was easily corrected once caught. I mean, it wasn't killing me or anything, it was just making life more difficult than it had to be.

Sadly, I'm not a buffy fan (pause for shocked response and threats to kick me out of nerd/geek-subculture)... but if the thing can be twisted to suit other fandoms, that'd be cool. :)
I'll figure something out though... I'm wondering if I can find some prompt table and then rig-up a fandom randomization method using my D&D dice - because apparently writing fanfiction isn't nerdy enough on it's own. :P

Buffy - that's okay, nobody's perfect ;) It's a crossover site - Twisting the Hellmouth. It was just an idea. There's been quite a few Supernatural/Buffy crossovers :)
Your idea seems like a good one though!

Buffy - that's okay, nobody's perfect ;)
I will say that I think Buffy was an excellent show and I really appreciate the writing and everything it did for geek/nerd culture and good leading female characters and such... it just was an excellent show that wasn't my cup of tea. :)
