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 :)

*First off, the auction that [livejournal.com profile] fandomaid has put together as a fundraising campaign to help those who were affected by Superstorm Sandy is almost over; bidding ends Thursday, November 29th at 5 PM American EST/10 PM GMT. [livejournal.com profile] fandomaid's front page should have answers to any of your questions, and they have a post where you can ask questions, as well.

I have a thread up if you want to bid on an art from me. It is already much higher than I'd expected it to go, but it's for a good cause, so I'm really happy about it :)

*Continuing on: Have I missed anything? I've dumped stuff on tumblr and faved pretty things there, but haven't had time to really dig into my meatier f-page over here. Are there any posts that I need to see? Did you message or email me and I failed to respond? Did someone post something epic that my life would be incomplete without? lol, I am being kind of lazy with this, but I watch so many people and comms, there's no way I could catch up on my own.

(Still moving. Argh. Don't wanna talk about it, lol.)

*And then: People have been writing stories for my pictures. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that this happens. LOVE IT. I have absolutely no problem with multiple people writing their take on one piece; it's happened before, and I love seeing the different ways people go with the same image. I think it's really amazing. So if you have the urge to write for anything, please do! But if you would be uncomfortable knowing you may not be the only person writing for a pic, please keep that in mind.

Here's another thing that many of you may have already learned: my memory is HORRIBLE. Like, it takes me 15 minutes to get out the door because I keep forgetting things, and I can't remember if I've forgotten a thing, and I'll remember something I forgot halfway to the car, etc, lol. Names and agreements and obligations and emails and comments, I can totally forget. Now that I'm getting settled in, it'll be a little better, b/c I'll have my post-it notes once I find them, haha.

I think what I was saying was, if you've created something inspired my something I've done, you are FANTASTIC and I am really grateful. Aaaand it's likely that I don't have a link to it. So if you have, please leave the link here in the comments, because I do plan on making a post for these kinds of things. Thank youuuu!

Hope all of you had a good holiday weekend! :)

*So excited to see the art for [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

First off, welcome, new friends! I've gotten such a warm and slightly lascivious welcome to the fandom that I hardly know what to do with myself. SPN fandom and people in it, you are amazing.

I am just... overwhelmed, at the sheer volume of content this fandom produces. Not just content, but EXCELLENT content. I guess it doesn't help that I'm still going through the backlog; a lot of the classics are new to me. Which is kind of cool.

I swear, one day I'm gonna read ALL the Wincest fic, and all fic for the other pairings that have snagged my interest (Samifer, Sassy, why must you tempt me so? Guess I know who my fandom bicycle is. My fave will always be Sam/Dean, though ♥. Though bearded Ghostfacers dude/shy intern runs a close second, some days, and I'm not even sure if I'm kidding. So tragic, their love!) Oh yeah, and I'm going to write some more fic, too, because there are aspects of Sam/Dean that I'd love to get up to my elbows in and explore ;)

But right now, I have so many arts I want to art. Working on minibang art for an awesome story, need to post up a Samifer pic. Also, I want to do a series of the Bearded Men of Supernatural. I've already got a Chuck done, haha, now all I need are Bobby, John, Alistair, the Ghostfacers dude, Henrickson's sharp little beard... Crowley's got a beard, yeah? And does Lucifer? he's skirting the line. Castiel's skirting it even more. Am I forgetting any beards? Haha, I may end up with just the Chuck picture. GOOD ENOUGH! because Chuck is awesome. I'm actually considering a paid account just for more icon space so I can have icons for all these cool characters. I mean, I've already bought extra icons for my free account, lol, but I am a hoarder.

Additionally, I may start livestreaming when I draw in the near future. I've done it before; it's a lot of fun. I don't know if that's a thing in this fandom or not. If I do, I'll put up a journal about it, and maybe people will come, haha.
