How is everybody doing? I haven't posted in over a week, I think, and that feels like so long when for a while I was posting like, every other day.

I'm doing fine : ) Due to a schedule mixup, I have four days off in a row! \o/ I'm gonna be SWIMMING ALL THE TIME.

I've now managed to lose 13 pounds, through a combination of tracking my food on MyFitnessPal and exercising more. If you're on MFP and want to be friends, just friend me and I'll friend you back : )  My username there is imlikat. Or you could leave me your username here, and I'll go find you!

I've signed up for two stories for the wipbigbang. (I've already got work done on the first story, and I just now signed up for the second one and am waiting for conformation/draft) They're in fandoms I've never drawn for, so it's both scary and exciting. I just need to branch out a little bit, I think that there actually is such a thing as drawing too much SPN porn, lol. That, combined with my depression, pretty much killed my drive to draw. But it feels so good to be drawing again!

The wipbigbang still has something like 15 stories in various fandoms that need artists. They're on Round 5 (5!!!) of claiming, so if they don't get claimed now, they might not get art : ( You can go to this post here to check out summaries for stories that have yet to be claimed. Go! See if there's anything you might want to art for : )

My medication finally seems to be working like it's supposed to : D I've felt... actually kind of normal for the last few weeks. Not too depressed, not too manic, just somewhere in between. So, normal, lol. It's a nice feeling, and it's one I'm cherishing while it's here, because I know my diseases, and I know tomorrow could see me balls to the wall manic or deathly depressed with no warning. lol, balls to the wall, what kind of saying is that?

SO, how are you, f-list?

i'm having a tough time of it but i'll make a personal post later

For now though, some awesome people are putting together an awesome Bang!



It's a low key, DELICIOUSLY HORRIFIC fest, with small wordcount requirements (3k or more!) and it is in the genre most dear to my heart. Im sorely tempted to participate either as a writer or an artist OR BOTH, but I'll decide soon. Author signups start tomorrow and go on for about 10 days, so seriously consider entering this! I know I will be eating up the stories and art when they come around :)

You guys you guys quicky_bang is so great! I threw a couple of fics into the ring, and I was lucky enough that stargazingchola claimed two of them and did art for them!

In the Earth art is HERE

In This Depression art is HERE

Go check the art out and give stargazingchola some love! <3

You guys should go and join quicky-bang, they especially need artists, but more writers wouldn't go amiss, either :)

If you saw my last post, you probably saw this one coming, lol.

I've cowritten a fic for the spn_j2_bigbang with thursdaysisters, and the draft is finished.

We'd like someone who can look over it for plot continuity/errors, clarity, some SPAG, pacing, and general soundness of story.

If you're available, please let me know through PM or email (badbastion(at)gmail(dot)com) :) We'll be looking for more than one beta, because it's long and plotty and we'd like a couple of sets of eyes on it, plus we don't want the responsibility to rest solely one one person.


Thanks! :)

ETA: You guys are awesome. Thank you.

I've signed up for the spn_j2_bigbang.

As an author.

:o

Edit: Also signed up for this:


Cakebang, the SPN + SPN RPF podfic big bang, is back for ROUND TWO!
About | Podficcer Sign Ups | Artist Sign Ups

Very few people have signed up so far, so if you're interested, take a peek! There have been no artist sign-ups, and the minimum artists have to do is a podfic cover.

So yeah, I said I wasn't going to sign up for any art challenges this year. Guess my brain decided other challenges were a-okay!

Under the cut is a poll on a few parts on fandom etiquette, regarding fandom fest art and comments. Also a poll because I'm wondering why the comment section has not been as robust as it used to be.

( look at my pole lol )

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Hi! There was a bit of a delay on the posting of the story for my first RBB, but it's been up for a little while now! If you haven't seen it, go and give it a read - it's bloody and sexy and dark and everything I could have wished for and MORE.

Art Masterpost || Fic Masterpost

My flist is asquee with reversebang excitement, and rightfully so! Jesus, that was nuts. I refreshed the page at noon, no claims post. Refreshed it almost immediately after that, and the post was up with 60 comments.

I had two prompts, and they've both been claimed \o/ One was by an author I've immensely enjoyed working with before, and one is by someone (who is very friendly in emails) with an empty journal--so that's exciting, too. Mysterious! I've been in touch with both of them, and now I can relax and look forward to getting some rough draft action :3

Also, I miiiight livestream tonight--I might be working on some Sam/Kevin explicit stuff. I'll say so in my tracking journal post and when I post the notification on tumblr if it is, because I know that pairing is not everybody's cuppa.

Now, like a kid who had too much fun at the carnival, I need a nap. Maybe I'll see some of you later :)
