Last day! I actually finished a meme, lol.

1) Planning on livestreaming today, which I love to do. I need to get some Wincest feels out of my system, then gonna try to make some progress on commissions. (If you've never been to a livestream, here's a post where I talk about it a little bit. It's a lot of fun when several people come - the chats can get pretty raunchy sometimes, but I keep an eye out for people being jerks and kick em if I have to.)

2) I'm about to finish Season 2 with my mom. I want to see her cryyyy. I'll probably cry too. I love it.

3) On that note, I'm falling in love with SPN again. There for a while I was really sad, because it had just lost the spark for me, but now I'm so looking forward to S10!

4) bonus! I'm really enjoying my clean, finally-decorated room. I've got my posters up - SPN, Walking Dead, Muse, Doctor Who, Picasso and Dali. I'm so too old for tacked-up posters, but who cares? I love em. I'm also planning on printing out some of my PG-13 and below pics to put up.

5) bonus! lol. It's walking weather! I'm gonna lose 50 pounds in a year. I can do it! I've got myfitnesspal and my fitbit, and last fall and winter I walked at least five miles a day, and I loved it. Got way off track with the move and then the brutal summer, but I'm ready to be back on track! If anyone's on MFP, let me know so we can be friends!

1) I finally cleaned my room up and put up all my posters. But that doesn't matter a bit to me right now because of

2) The Ballad of the Invisible Boy and

3) Two-Headed Boy

I'm actually gonna need to make a separate post about this, because I'm still shaking and fic-drunk and I can't even think much beyond, I actually feel like I'm in love, all overwhelmed and shaky and broken-hearted and joyful, and I'd forgotten that words on a screen could even come close to doing that to me.

I'm on a roll!

Grabbed from

dizzojay:

During the next five days, post three positive things about your day and ask three people to do the same so the positive attitude can gain some ground.

I may not get them done every day, but I'll do it on five days, whether they're spread out or not :)

When you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself publicly, then tag 10 of your friends!

HMMM!

1) I can recognize and forgive my own faults, usually

2) I have a few diverse talents - art, writing, guitar & singing (I was the lead singer in a band for awhile lol), maths and sciences (though it's been a while since I've put those into practice)

3) I help foster feelings of community, openness, creativity and enthusiasm

4) I am smart. S-M-R-T!

5) I look about ten years younger than I am

I'm actually kind of bad at these "list good things about yourself" memes, lol. Does this still count if I don't tag anyone? I don't want to pressure anyone, so do this if you like. It gave me a bit of a boost today, so I'm glad

dolnmoon tagged me :)

Day 3

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

I don't know if these are well-known or need comments, but I'm going the route of themed recs. Horror is my favorite genre, gory or suspenseful or psychological, and SPN has been the best fandom I've found so far in this regard. So!

1) The Crystal Ship by

autumn_lilacs.

Summary: Insanity has been explained as the act of repeating the same action over and over again and expecting a different result. Some might apply this definition to Sam Winchester, but they would be wrong. Sam has tried many different things in an attempt to get to the same result: he wanted to get back to Dean. The definition of insanity more accurately reflects those in charge who thought that a single guard was adequate coverage for a man who was once condemned to death by electric chair. Despite his size, people constantly underestimated what Sam Winchester was capable of.

One day, Sam decided to leave the hospital. So he did.

Wonderfully twisty-turny creepy AU that's not an AU. OR IS IT?

2) they read baudelaire in hell by

captainswank.

Summary: For the prompt: "Is growing flowers in somebody's heart a kink? Dean/Alastair."

Perfect Dean/Alistair: Disgusting and gory and painful and poetic with a very appropriate splash of humor.

3) Magpie, to the Seaside by

indiachick.

Summary: Him and Dean, a house trailer by the sea, peaceful mornings recuperating from being ensouled—Sam could live with this, if only it weren’t for the uninvited visitor knocking at their door at midnight, every night

Lovecraftian and lovely, jarring in all the right places. I've just recently stumbled across indiachick, and am absolutely infatuated with her prose.

(It occurs to me that I may not have actually commented on all of these, which is an oversight that I'll have to fix soon! Authors, if you got the notification of the link and are reading this, please know that I love your fic and will make sure to leave you all my thoughts ASAP.)

Day 4

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.

Will do!

Day One

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

( I'm writing about things that I feel like more people should read/listen to, because I feel like I did them very well, and because I know I already get plenty of attention for my art :) )

Day 2

In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

( Under the cut! )

Day 3 is for other recs, over which I'll have to stew for a while. I love so many fanworks!!! maybe I'll have to go with a theme or something.

but here I go! I could use some cheering up /o\ I've left some love, gonna leave some more later tonight, but let me know if you've got a thread up that I might miss <3

holiday love meme 2013
my thread here

Title: In the Earth
Artist:

badbastion
Pairing: none. Dean-centric gen
Spoilers: none
Wordcount: ~1800
Rating: PG-13 for horror
Warnings/Content: horror, mental images that make me uncomfortable, lol
Misc: I only found out about this meme last night, oh woe! This fic was written last night and given a lazy edit this morning.
Summary: Written for a prompt at the Something Wicked 2013 Horror Fanwork Meme for this prompt:

There's something under the ground, Dean can feel it. It had almost reached him when he pulled himself from his grave and now it's following him everywhere, just waiting for its chance to pull him back under the cold, dark earth and bury him forever.

( Dry, crumbling dirt coats his tongue )

Happy Halloween to all of you!

There are also lots of prompt memes hanging around. I think I've pimped most of them, except for this one:

(A Very) Sastiel & Mishalecki Fic/Art Meme!

Can't wait for December? Want more Sassy but not looking to commit to a Big Bang? If so, get your gears on and join in the fun in this Sastiel and Mishalecki fic/art meme!

*phew* That's a lotta art! Maybe one day I should try to fic on a minibang or something, haha. NOT TODAY! I hope I'll get to work with some of you :D

*So excited to see the art for

spn_reversebang! I probably won't be home when it goes up, but I'm sooo looking forward to it. *REFRESHES PAGE FOR AS LONG AS I'M HOME THIS MORNING*

*I'm currently having a lot of fun working on my art for the

samdean_otp minibang, yay!

*and working on little doodles for sassy week and samifer week on tumblr (I'm badbastion over there, so creative with my usernames. I'm also very bad at doing follow-backs. I just can't keep up with my dash, and I don't have time to look at everything I want to look at already :I)

*I caved and signed up for

spn_j2_xmas and jeeeeez, my signup comment was so long, haha. I hope it's more helpful than it is overwhelming, to have so many options.

*What are some other fun challenge type things going on around the fandom? I don't want to sign up for anything else where I'm required to have something finished by a deadline; two of those is exactly enough for me. I'd prefer things where participation is optional. Any suggestions? :)

*For some reason, I'm not getting email notifications from Livejournal. I checked all my settings, and I just don't know what's up. I'm thinking maybe it's all the free pandas being shared around that's gunking up the system, but another user told me they were getting notifications just fine. HMMM. So if I miss replying to a comment, I'm not ignoring you, I swear, haha.

An art-fill for the h/c comment meme (still ongoing!) at

ohsam for this prompt which is really quite more involved, and I sincerely hope someone does a fic fill for it, because I would read the shit out of that. [ETA:

27_jaredjensen has posted a fill here!] Other than that swear lol this post is totally SFW.

Here is thumbnail so I don't eat up my f-list:

Title: When Sammy was Twenty-Four
Rating: PG-13 for language and injuries
Warnings: injured!Dean, hurt/comfort
Timeline: S2, if All Hell Breaks Loose happened just a few months later.
Misc.: Gen. Sam&Dean. ~4k words. Unbeta'ed, will give another run-through edit later.
Summary: After being run down by a vengeful spirit, Dean is immobilized and must wait for Sam to find him. Dean refuses to go to the hospital, of course, so it's up to Sam to patch him up.
