So Jared has this new business thingy, and they are doing a promotion whereby if you subscibe to their newsletter you get entered in a draw to win a zoom call with Jared. If you subscribe using my LINK HERE - I get an additional entry (and of course you get your entry too). So go on, be darlings and do me a tiny favour? If I win I get to add three others to the call too so - it could be you! LOL
Not that I ever win things, but still.

excoyote at Excoyote (brokenlittleboy, transgendersam, theo, etc.) is doing commissions + Patreon!
I’m running commissions because I recently got into the school of my dreams, Stanford, but I haven’t been given any financial aid. Without it, I can’t afford to go. I’m happy to create anything and everything to help raise money for college. I don’t know if my family’s situation will be the same in a year, so this money makes all the difference.
If it’s more your thing, I’m also running a Patreon page with goodies for pledgers!
My writing can be found here (fics, poems and misc.) and here (AO3). Some pieces you may know: Merry Sexmas, Sammy & Don’t Throw Me Overboard, Baby
My specialties include wincest, j2, and Sam-centric fanfiction, but I am willing to do everything! I’m capable of crack, smut, angst, fluff, realistic, AUs, etc. Any rating or content is fine with me. 1,000 words is $10 as a base price, any more words or plot specifics are negotiable. For example, a 20k Wincest fic Space AU with specific twists and kinks would be $45. I can deliver in chaptered installments or one final product, and it can be put on my AO3 or a private PDF. Under 5k can be completed in 24 hrs. Each additional 2k is +1 day. Longer pieces are better suited to installments because they take more time.
I have one book up on Amazon called Jay’s Epiphany. It’s realistic LGBT romance fiction and listed at 99 cents if anyone is interested. The rates and word counts for original fiction are the same as fanfiction. Original fiction I cannot publish on AO3 so it is only available as a doc or a PDF. The time needed for fiction is the same as fanfiction.
You can check out all of my work here, and my gifs here. Some pieces you may know: one, two, three. Individual gifs are $2, and gifsets, graphics, and playlists are between $4 and $15 depending on complexity. Everything can be completed within 24 hours unless I’m swamped, never more than 3 days.
Thank you SO MUCH for supporting me! I only accept PayPal, and inquiries and payments (upfront, please) can be sent to alpoling@wccnet.edu or my tumblr. I also accept donations <3. If you’re not interested in a commission, reblogging and liking this post supports me just as much. The commission request form is below the cut!
For someone who's been around in Fandom forever, and finds herself in dire straits.
I know it's a bad time of year to be asking for money, but what's #SPNfamily for if you can't ask for help when you need it.

a_phoenixdragon's family situation gets more dire by the day. Last month Mandy lost her job because they had an unexpected car breakdown which caused her to miss work. Her hubby was working but his salary alone wasn't enough to cover their regular expenses on top of the car repairs. Mandy has been trying to find work but the holidays are a tough time to be unemployed.amberdreams at Fanworks auction for bt_kady
herminekurotowa has started a fanworks auction as follows:bt_kady just had a hysterectomy, and they found tumors in the organs. Hopefully, the biopsy will show that it didn't spread yet. Nevertheless, Kathy has to expect a boatload of medical bills that she won't be able to pay. She has a Gofundme page where you can donate directly, or you can help by participating in the auction, and/or spreading the word among your friends.

I know we all appreciate the fabulous vidding skills of 
secretlytodream - she's got to be one of the best vidders around, and we have been blessed to have her skills feeding our SPN addictions for years. But she's had a bit of a disaster with her equipment, and is struggling to fund a replacement hard drive and pay for the retrieval service for all the data she's lost. So if anyone has any spare cash, please donate to help her out!
Her tumblr post is HERE.
In case you need a reminder - here's the vid she made for me - it's awesome
I've been meaning to watch Shawshank Redemption for years, and finally got round to it last night. Now I have to ask - what was so special about it? Seriously, I just don't understand. I've heard people talking about it as a classic, utterly brilliant film, not to be missed, etc etc. And I thought it was ok, it held my attention but didn't engage my emotions at all. Or at least not as much as I'd expected.
The violence and the injustice stung, of course - but I'd been much more moved by the Green Mile, and a hundred times more invested in Cool Hand Luke.
So I'm left wondering - why do people love it so much/rate it so highly? What did I miss?
