I know there are not many of us left over here but I just wanted to say - I am so grateful for all the beautiful, intelligent, quirky, talented and utterly fabulous women I've met on Live Journal and Dreamwidth, and in fandom generally.

I love you all.

Echoing

dizzojay - what a wonderful little get together in London we had today!

Thank you

herminekurotowa for the fabulous Dean shoulder bag - I still can't believe it's handmade, you should sell these on Etsy if you aren't already doing so. Even my hubby was really impressed!

Hopefully we will be able to do something like this again - it was really great to meet

big_heart_june,

alexisjane,

riyku in person! So sad

jj1564 didn't make it after all, and that

milly_gal couldn't come. Next time, ladies, next time!

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?

Hi y'all! Anyone got time to beta my summergen pinch hit #1? It's not very long (about 3k). Nothing controversial in this one, and obviously, it's gen! :D

I've done something I'm not at all sure about and I'd love someone to give it a look over... I'm wondering if it could/should be expanded, whether the premise works at all, is it too pretentious? Oh and does it kind of meet the prompts I've been given?
Screening replies just in case!

Update to say: THANKS to all the volunteers, you know who you are... I'm trying to email the first of you right now, but my email is playing silly buggers.

I know there have been a lot of appeals recently and the SPNfamily has been rallying around, but a lovely, kind and talented person needs financial and emotional support right now. Check out the appeal at

badbastion's journal, HERE.

She's offering a commission for your donation - and you know her art is fab! Give what you can...

Thank you, thank you everyone who's sent me birthday wishes today - i've been swamped in the lurve, and it's a beautiful thing. My LJ inbox was chocker, I had tweets, and Facebook goodies, and virtual gifts, and song spams and gifspams and all sorts of lushness and I am very grateful. Hopefully I have thanked each and every one of you individually, but in case I have not - THANK YOU!

I woke up this morning and could have made you a list of things NOT to do on your birthday - like

having a sniffle in the bathroom because you are missing your Dad, and then

weigh yourself on your Mum's bathroom scales and find you are two (yes TWO) stone heavier than you thought you were. (For you Americans, that's 28 pounds btw)

or end up waiting in most of the morning because the register office is incompetent and has mislaid your father's death certificates that are needed to finalise various financial affairs and they are supposed to be ringing you back...

So the stuff that y'all sent me was indeed a very cheering thing, as was the delicious mushroom pizza I had for lunch, and the big bar of Aero I scoffed this afternoon in definace of the bathroom scales' message of doom.

Tomorrow I return home and hope to be able to stay for longer than a couple of days this time. I need to have some down time so I can catch up on everything!

I've possibly finished my spnspiration ficlet for the April Fool's Challenge, and could do with a beta read (and a second opinion on whether to end it where I have done or not!).
It's a bit under 4,000 words at the moment.
It's a season 10 fic featuring mostly Dean and it's Gen. I can't say too much else as it's a gift fic!
Any volunteers?

A message of love and support that can apply to everyone - if you are feeling low, play this and believe it's about you, because it's true.

I always loved Abby on NCIS, and who'd have thought Tony could sing too?

Hello my lovelies, it's feel the lurve time. As part of

selenic76's Fandom Love Fest...
Until this morning I still wasn't sure what I was going to do to celebrate Fandom today but then I found a couple of things in my inbox and thought - yup. That there is two good reasons to love Fandom, I'm sure I can come up with eight more. So here we go

A very Happy Birthday to my lovely GISHWHES team captain and all round fabulous person dean_hugs_sammy. She has recently joined LJ and is posting all her stories on here and on AO3 after years on clunky old fanfiction.net - which means - tah dah! ART!
Teasers!

HERE'S MINE
If you ain't on there, go and do yourself a thread so I can pour anon-love over you and get you all sticky in a way that would make me utterly uncomfortable otherwise.
♥Being British and all.♥

Ok, we've opened art prompts up to a total of three per artist for people who've done an early bird submission and I've done 2 prompts so far but of COURSE I have to do a 3rd.

BUT WHAT?????

So far I'm toying with a

Merman J2 Au

Possibly something cowboys which could be J2 or Sam & Dean

US CIvil war SPN AU

Something else

Any ideas, votes, prompts???

Hello all you lovely peeps - I've kind of finished my spn_gen minibang and it's in need of a good ole beta'ing. It's just under 8900 words, and the summary is as follows:

Leaving Kevin alone in the Bunker with only Crowley for company was probably not the Winchester’s brightest idea. Compound the prophet’s paranoia with drug abuse and demonic stirring, add an unexpectedly early return to the Bat Cave after a chimera hunt gone a little bit awry and you've got yourself the recipe for a perfect Winchester storm.

You have crazed Kev, snarky Crowley, hurt!Dean and hurt!Sam - so if that floats your beta boat, let me know! Posting doesn't begin until 2nd October so there is plenty of time.

Cheers me dears.

Yay got me a volunteer so ignore me.

Hello flisties! I think I've finished my 3rd summergen and need someone to tell me that this is, in fact a correct assumption - while also doing the usual SPAG, concrit type thing that you awesome betas do. It isn't a long fic - currently stands around 2500 words, and it contains lots of hurt Dean and not much of anything else.
Any volunteers please?
Comments screened in case the proposed recipient should see this for any reason.

Wow thanks so much to all the folk who volunteered for this little job! I was so surprised to get so many responses! Anyhow, my fic is now in very good hands, so thanks again to you all. &hearts;

I've got a 11.5k draft for my

spn_cinema that needs a damn good beta'ing.

It's a World War I J2 AU, based on the quirky French English and German film King of Hearts. I'd rate it an R at the most because there is mention of boy sex but no graphic description of the act. This is a love story and pretty innocent really. The war is in the background of the story most of the time; there are deaths but not of the main characters.
Does anyone fancy giving it a go?

Timing wise - bags of time, my posting date isn't until 29th May!

Have a bad cartoon and bit of slushy drabbling, darlings!

Seasonal Cheer
***********
E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: bright & cheer
Warnings: None. I’m steadfastly ignoring the sad events of the last episode…
Summary: The King of Hell unsurprisingly doesn’t much like Christmas.
***********
Crowley frigging hates Christmas. So it’s just icing on the stale cake of his imprisonment to be woken bright and early on Christmas morning by Dean Winchester in a party hat.

Things go downhill from thereon in. Sam enters the dungeon, a giant redwood festooned with tinsel and wreathed in beatific smiles, Kevin trailing behind sporting the amiably glassy look of the inebriated.

“Aw, cheer up, y’majesty,” Dean slurs as he sloshes a measure of the finest Glenfiddich into a tumbler. “Kevin’s brought y’crown.”

Crowley groans as Kevin places the paper hat on his head.

Crowley really needs a drink.

***********

Meanwhile, outside a bit later that snowy Christmas Day, Castiel returns to play with the boys...

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everybody who sent me virtual gifts, jolly messages and even actual real cards and stuff too! You are all lovely jubbly peeps and made my day very special. Hopefully I will get round to thank you all individually but thought I'd throw out this fluffy blanket of love just in case I forget or accidentally miss someone out.
