So, I fell asleep and then I woke up three hours later because of nightmares, so of course I'm craving horror. However, I've already read all of my horror books and ebooks, and I've listened to ALLLLL of pseudopod (if you're a fan of horror and podcasts, go and give them a listen! The host, Alisdair, is FANTASTIC, and while the stories are *sometimes* not super, the readers almost always are.) and I don't feel like combing through the garbage at r/nosleep to find something good. I'm not really in the mood for reading, anyway, even if it's something short. (There's a fic I wanted to read that seemed right up my alley, but I closed the tab and now I forgot the name of it or who wrote it, but it was too long for my current attention span.)

Plus, Halloween's coming up. Yay Halloween!

Long story short, I feel like trying to write some horror. Do you have any prompts for me? a couple of words, an outline, SPN, original, it doesn't matter. I don't know if I'll be successful at writing horror, but I'd love to try, I just can't think of where to start /o\

Thank yoooou!

Also I am EVEN MORE HEARTBROKEN that Silent Hills was cancelled, because I just found out that my favorite artist, Junji Ito, was working on the project. Oh, Woe! TT___TT

So I had a good two days of Thanksgiving, lots of turkey and lots of walks to offset the pie, lol. I hope you all had a good one too!

Then this morning I watched 9x08 and I am SALIVATING for some fic

( spoilers under the cut )

If you know of any fics dealing with these things, please, pleeeease link me to them! I will love you so hard, you don't even know.

I am super super lucky, because fantamae recorded my very first SPN fic And you would be a fool, a fic I wrote with such gleeeee, and have such loving memories of. And she did such an amazing job of it! :o I love it so much :D She makes it so FUN, I just keep listening to it. I'm so excited about this :D

It's so strange to have a relatively clean plate, art-wise. I think I'm gonna livestream tonight (starting pretty late), then draw one last thing I owe somebody, then kind of take a break on the art. If I want to draw something, I will, but if not, I'll go and play a game or read some horror manga or something \o/ I do believe there are some Junji Ito stories on the internet that are new to me, plus I have a few series I was reading. (If anyone shares my love for horror and guro, I would love some links. On tumblr, I watch hellyeahhorrormanga, and I find a lot of things through that blog. But I can't always find where to read them! lol)

Speaking of reading, I am SOOO BEHIND! When the bigbang season happened, I was so busy arting for my own things that I didn't really try to keep up with all the fic coming out. There was SO MUCH. I've got a lot of it bookmarked, and hopefully I can read a big chunk of that. I look forward to it; some of those summaries sounded amazing. lol Great Job, SPN Fandom! So many creative people, it's wonderful.

ALSO, years ago, I tried my hand at doing podfic as part of a self-esteem raising thing? Like, I was (and still kind of am) embarrassed of my voice and the way I speak, and I tried to conquer that by recording a few fics and (eep) sharing them with ~THE WORLD. Okay, so like 50 people total listened to my podfics. It helped though! I'm still a little insecure about it, but podficcing was fun, mistakes and mushmouth and all. I'd like to do it again (but by NO means at the same output level of my art, lol.) SOOOO I think it would be cool if a few people would link me to their own fics, and I could mangle record them :)

*Any rating works for me, but please nothing over 2000 words, and please stick to pairings/characters I already do.

*Give me a link to one or two stories please; I have trouble choosing if someone says "any of my stories would be great." Too much to process! :P

*I'll probably stop at the first five or six or something.

*There's no guarantee it'll get recorded--I've found that there are some writers whose rhythms or dialog just flummox me, and it has nothing to do with how good a fic is. I'm a novice, see, haha.

*Also, if aspects of the story are wildly outside of my interests, I'll... probably just skip it, sorry.

ETA: Thank you all! I think I've got enough experimental subjects, haha. Though if anyone wants to throw a Sam/Castiel fic my way to practice on, I'd be happy to give that one a try, too :)
