( Random writing babble )

There was no point to that other that to mock myself a little.

That said, I will not get this done before the next SPN episode. Plus, I wrote this first part as the AU setup, and now I think I'll have to revise it heavily to fit with Dean's POV and the much starker, sparser tone of the rest of the story. So... here. Have a spoilery 4x03 SPN WIP snippet (gen and this legitimately comes with no warnings yet).

The Truest Type of Love
SPN Sam/Dean
NC-17
2800 words
Incest warning. Obviously. No other particular warnings, but this is not fluffy.
AN: For spn_nostalgia, prompt: Sam gets Dean back for the buttslap in Bugs. I think this prompt was probably asking for cute prank-warfare stuff, but I... didn't write it that way. Sorry.

( He had to stop this thing in its tracks now, before it ruined everything again. )

Obviously, I am going to become one of those writers who will shove their WIPs at anybody who doesn't run away fast enough. I really really miss being in school, when I used to AIM with friends constantly and we would draft papers together and copy-paste paragraphs to each other and talk about our writing endlessly. I don't know anybody like that in fandom now.

( These are the things I'm actively writing (as in, they're in my head ALL THE TIME and I'm pretty confident they'll get finished) )

( And these are the ones I've started but am not working on right this minute and may or may not happen. )

So, after all the huge talky-talky here and here I felt the need to write a big Dean's Deal fic. You know, my own little thesis on the "Vindication of Dean as a character," aka where I would go as a writer if I didn't have to worry about spinning out the show to a future season.

Except then, it ended up being Sam's POV. *headscratch* Oy, the muse, she is fickle. Anyway, I know where this goes. I don't know if it's Sam/Dean, but it sure as hell is Sam/Angst, which is almost as good, no? (this snippet only 300 words)

( My brother is going to hell, and I don’t know what to do. )

So now the question is... do I write it?

So there was meant to be a sixth vignette to Just a Hole in Arizona, set immediately post-deal-breaking, except I couldn't write it. Really, I tried like six times, and hated every attempt, and I only managed to come up with one tiny scenelet that I even liked for it and I couldn't write anymore for it and couldn't drag it back to the theme. But I feel the need to post this, just so it's officially Not A WIP. (400 words)

( Right afterward, Sam just drove. )

Title: Just a hole in Arizona
Characters, pairings: Sam/Dean, some John
Rating: Up to NC-17
Wordcount: 7,200
Warnings: Just incest. (Heh. Just. This fandom.)
Summary: Somewhere along the line, Sam got this idea that Dean really, really wanted to visit the Grand Canyon.

Notes: spn_holidays present for travesty_ , who requested "The boys go on vacation; no supernatural stuff involved" and also "Domestic Wincest, no fluff." I really, really hope this fits the bill, as it's the longest thing I've ever witten outside of school and I'm quite nervous.

Thanks to desertport for the fantastic beta.

I hope you like it, travesty_ , and I hope you had a fantastic holiday and go on to have a fantastic 2008!

( Dean had spent two solid weeks talking up the joys of America's greatest natural wonder to Sam. Sam was now convinced it was going to be absolutely epic, and Dean figured that was okay because it probably would be pretty cool. )

So, I got completely and utterly stuck on my spn_holidays   story. I need to go back to it soon, but I had to do something else, so I wandered about hunting for some kind of appealing prompy-thing, and I ended up at drabbles100  . I'm not gonna actually claim a table there or anything, because that feels very silly and performative to me and anyway it's not like I'm committing to finish anything (God no) but I liked their prompts and wrote a bunch.

I'm rather pleased, for a first experiment with the form. Question: Why is it easier to write five drabbles of a precise word count (that I'm rather pleased with) than, say, 300 words of a rough draft of my actual fic (that I'm not pleased with at all)? 

For the crossover drabble-a-thon, SPN/Numb3rs, 188 words, gen

( You've been out-geeked! )

I feel the need for some kind of prompty-type thing to prod along my writing. I've been thinking quite a lot about John recently, and a John table seems like just the thing. These will probably be largely gen, with some het or slash but no daddycest. I am going to try to stick to actual drabble length, 100 words, for a bit of a challenge. However, it's my first time trying to do that, so it may be quite rough.
