I'm super-excited that thursdaysisters and I got lucky enough to have the wonderfully talented sophiap snag our summary for spn-j2-bigbang. SUPER-EXCITED. She's already read it (and says she loves it! :D) and has already thrown some incredible ideas our way. So not only was the story super-fun to write, all mind-bendy and sexy with magic and UST and violence and Lovecraft, and thursdaysisters' spot-on, appropriately angsty and hilarious Dean voice, but I don't know if we could have found an artist better suited to the story ♥ SUPER-EXCITED, I SAY.

Here's the summary, if you're interested:

Title: Sam Winchester's Guide to Blood Magic, or How the Rockies Were Made
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Summary: The Apocalypse occurred in 2009 when Sam and Dean accidentally unsealed Lucifer's Cage. Or did it? Dean finds a battered journal recounting events he doesn't remember, Sam finds out that H. P. Lovecraft was a prophet, and this starts them on a path of mystery and mayhem that has them scouring secret government facilities and traveling to Arkham itself to find the answers of this past that never was. They find the answers, how they averted the Deep Ones' Apocalypse, how they destroyed Cthulhu himself and raised mountain ranges, how they once were together, as they fight robots and monsters and men and their own emerging memories and desires. Sam must fulfill Prophecy and become a Deep God in his own right before they can put things to rest. Set in (slightly alternate) Season 9 without mention of the MoC.
Warnings: constantly shifting POV, violence, gore, explicit sometimes rough sex, surreal elements, creepy children

I was also excited to see the reveals, and I can't wait to see all the wonderful art and fic that comes from the fest :D wendy is such a gift to fandom for putting this together.

Snagged from amber1960 because - positivity rules, dudes!

List 10 things you are loving, right now, this very moment:

1: It's finally (almost) fall. Temps are still in the 70s midday, but at night it's been getting down to the 40s and 50s. I can't wait to be able to wear my cold weather clothes, and to snuggle up in blankets.

2: Watching SPN with my mom. She's hilarious, and she totally gets into it, yelling at the screen and everything.

3: My cats are starting to grow in their winter coats, and they're getting all soft and silky.

4: spn-reversebang! I loved watching the claims, and I felt so flattered that several people wanted my art.

5: My LJ friends are so awesome and supportive.

6: I got a solid 4.5 hours of sleep last night. This is a big deal.

7: My mother-in-law send us 3 big boxes of food things. It's mostly snacks and some macaroni and spaghetti, but that's snacks and macaroni and spaghetti we don't have to buy. We have 12 pounds of Twizzlers, lol.

8: My nephews and I are finally getting close. They hug me when I go over to visit, and Jack has told me a few times that he loves me. He's also told my sister that he missed me when i didn't visit for a few days. They're adorable.

9: I feel like I can draw today. Gonna try to livestream later.

10: I'm reading Stephen King books again, and it's been so long that he's put out several new ones since last I read him. I look forward to reading them.

omg i have internet again :o :o :o

I've been without for two weeks, and it's so great to be able to log on again. I have so much catching up to do!!!

Starting with catching up on SPN. I haven't watched the last four episodes, and I'm trying to watch them now. Had to skip Bloodlines, because there was no sound? but I'm watching the King of Hell episode right now. I've already been (small) spoilered for the season finale because I was dumb enough to log into tumblr, lol, but I don't feel upset. It was my fault, oops.

I look forward to getting caught up on everything, and going through LJ and reading through what I might have missed. I hope I'll be able to anyway! And LJ had an update? I feel like I've been away for months, and everything's changed!

No need to reply to this, I'm just excited :)

This looks like fun, and everybody should totally sign up. It's open to all fandoms, and it's for writers and podficcers. It's a short little challenge, and I've just signed up - check it out and see if you want to as well! :D

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!
