samdean OTP minibang DRAFT SEND! and other news! :)

[soncnica]

So I just send in my draft for the samdean OTP minibang! :) YAY!!!!

AAAAAAND now the excruciating wait for an artist to pick my story begins; seriously this is like at gym when you're the fat/clumsy kid noooo one pics to play a team sport with. Okay that's a bad analogy, because I was never that kid, but in other ways, I know how it feels. *sigh*
AAAAAAND as it was with my j2-spn-bigbang, I wrote GEN again, which no one reads (or so it feels like to me) and no one writes (you really have to look for it with a flashlight) and once again I feel like the odd one out. Sex sells, I KNOW, but I just can't. I mean not that I can't write sex, because well obviously LOL, but I just can't write one if my brain wants to go in the other direction - general plotlines! Sooooo once again all the NC-17 rated stories are gonna get picked up ASAP and we PG-13/GEN losers are gonna be waiting in line watching all the cool kids walk away with their dates. *sigh* but if anything, I'm an optimist, glass always half full and all that and I WILL NOT BE BROUGHT TO MY KNEES! WORST CASE; I'll just do the damn art by myself. Again. And now that I finally send the draft, my brain is like: you totally should've written in that owl, you so should and have it always sit on Sam's shoulder and have it hoot in all the wrong places/inapproprite times, you so should, have it be all like hoot, hoot, hoot and Sam be all like shut up, already and the owl be like hoot, and Sam be like I'll eat you for dinner and the owl be like hoot. I don't even know anymore * shakes head*
*sigh*                                                                      

I think 'm PMSing, this post feels like a PMSing kinda post! *giggle-snorts*

So I am waiting for the 19th when artist will be able to make their choices known and I AM CONFIDENT THAT I WILL GET AN AMAZING ARTIST!!!! *fingers crossed* WOOOHOOOO!!! :) :) And MAYBE because this bigbang is allllll about Sam and Dean, there will be lots of GEN stories? Right? Because c'mon, some case!fic stories, yes? Right? Say yes! :) :) Maybe it's just J2 that no one writes GEN about, right!? Yes!? Say yes! :) :)



BUT IN HAPPIER NEWS: I finally will be able to post that J2 fic that has like 37 warnings/tags, so that's something, right?! I counted them, I had to do it three times, because *scratches head* I kinda got lost somewhere around 26, LOL and had to re-count, but yeah ... but I had to write them all down, because I don't want to trigger anyone with anything and I certainly don't wanna deal with comments that would scream at me why I didn't warn for a certain thing. I'm so not in the mood.

Stay awesome!!! :)

Ah, I didn't know you were such a lover of gen! I have the same issue with my fics not finding readership, because I've started to favor gen and even my slash isn't very porn-y. And I have the same weird/fat-kid-getting-picked-last-in-gym ear about challenges with artist claiming (and I actually WAS that kid, sooo)... But it's awesome that you have the power to illustrate your own if you want! I definitely don't. But in any case, I usually skip reading things like the SamDean OTP challenge because I am the loneliest person in SPN fandom in that I can't read wincest. :-D So your fic might be the only one I CAN read! I look forward to it. And I bet you will get just the right artist, and hope you will have a great experience!

Also, I like owls. I agree that Sam needs an owl. But there's always the next fic! <3

LOL about losing count of the tags... I was recently talking to someone about how to browse for porn, given that I'm a little more squeamish than most, and I told her how I discovered that if I don't know what a tag means, I DEFINITELY DON'T NEED TO READ ABOUT IT. ;-)

Keep on keepin' on, friend! It's great to hear from you! <3

What are you on about, petal. You are a nutcase. Of course someone will pick up your summary - hey, you never know, it might be me again and in that case I will be ready to tell you to take the draft back and write in that owl. *wink*

Oh and I've put my draft in too and my fic is also Gen. So nah.

I'm so looking forward to your fic! *bounces* You could write about cutlery in a drawer, and it would be awesome.

I like reading GEN as I read fics because of the story (if I don't read it because of the porn). When I'm not in da mood, I even skip the porn because ANOTHER rimming? *yawns*

Also looking forward to your J2. So many tags... O.O I tagged my big bang with everything I could, and now I think I disappoint the readers because there's less dirty porn than they hoped for. :)

I think 'm PMSing, this post feels like a PMSing kinda post! LMAO

Also...*waves like crazy, WAVES LIKE CRAZY* I'M GONNA READ IT LOL But that was probably nothing new to you. I'm tired so I just really confused read through that owl bit. LOL On the other hand, it's you. If someone can pull of writing a story where an owl sits on Sam's shoulder, it's you ;) AND you will get an artist, I'm sure of it!!

Oh my god, THAT FIC WITH THE 37 WANRINGS YOU TOLD ME ABOUT AGES AGO!!!!!!!! I SERIOUSLY CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT :D :D

Here I thought I was the only one who gets bored and skips over the sex parts to get back to the story...

[fanspired]

Look at it this way: when someone chooses your fic it'll be because they're a serious artist inspired by an interesting story, and not just because they want to draw porn :)

I love GEN and I am totally going to read the hell out of your story and adore it like always! :D I like slash and all that, but a nice GEN story is nice for me because I find there's not a lot of people who can write porn well. I think people decide that's what will get them readers, but poorly written slash is sooo awful to read.

I'm sure you're going to get an awesome artist to go with your fantastic story!
