FIRST and most importantly as well! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, zempasuchil . I hope it is a fabulous one. :D I would write you things, but I am afraid that I am too busy. <33333 I shall make do with good wishes and cheer! LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS.

Speaking of busy: this Saturday my mom leaves for New Zealand. She'll be gone for a week attending my sister's wedding. My older sister is out West skiing with her boyfriend and his family. Essentially, this means that I'm in charge of meals, cleaning, school, and getting everyone (including me) to school/baseball/other places on time for a week. This will Not Be Fun, especially because both of my younger siblings are kind of jerks when it comes to cleaning. I do almost all of the cleaning in the house - they do some yard work on Saturdays and make lots of messes. (Yesterday night I found molded over steak in the back of the stove, which I had had no occasion to use or clean since last Friday. I had mistakenly assumed that others weren't just dumping dirty frying pans and plates in there.) When I ask them to clean, they don't. When I get angry at them because of that, they yell and say that I never do anything. At which point I go really quiet and kind of scary. It is not fun.

Also: ScriptFrenzy and Remix, same time. I can... totally do this? Uh. TOTALLY. well, I can, but it'll be tough. but I am SO PLEASED to be writing Cabin Fever, SO PLEASED you have no idea. I have been needing a new original fic project to distract me from wanting to turn to go nowhere with you into a whole 'verse.

Three tests recently - one today, one last Tuesday, one take-home due next Tuesday. Got a 61% on the Biology test, which is killing me inside. I just. GAH. It's definitely my fault, there. *facepalm*

Okay time for happy things. happy things like writing memes! TWO OF THEM. an old favorite and one picked up from fahye.

Ask me a question about one of my fics -- characters, plot, what happened before or after, what the writing process was like, what scenes I cut or changed, other ways the fic could have gone, relevant bits of backstory/headcanon/worldbuilding, what a certain line or scene meant or was in reference to, what various characters were doing offscreen, or anything else you can think of. Questions can be as silly/serious/sexy as you like.

+

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

ETA: THAT'S IT I'M GOING HOME AND MAKING SOMETHING WITH SUGAR OR AT LEAST VAGUELY SWEET AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME I SWEAR TO GOD. *glitter rage meltdown* Shit, I knew I was heading towards this. It's what I was trying to avoid with cathartic sad TV, which worked but not as long as I'd hoped. Now I'm tired and crying in the school library for NO REASON whatsoever. goddamnit. I have a driving test tomorrow and I cannot fail it and. I just.

going home. making sugar. doing writing memes and fixing Pevensies/Winchester of Doom and I am going to HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.

I absolutely adored the SamnDean in "Beat the Devil's Tattoo" even though they're never even in the same scene till the end. They're so broken when they're apart. And they're soulmates and it's gen and I don't even have words for how that makes me go flaily.

the song I am thinking of is free over thisaway and lyrics are here

I am still head over heels in love with your SPN/Narnia crossover 'Orthopraxy' because Anna/Susan. I mean, that should be reason enough, right? Sexy ladies bonding over getting kicked out of heaven for daring to love the world. What about that doesn't scream 'best ever'? And gosh, the make-outs were already keysmash, but then you brought in familyyyyy and yeah go on and break my heart okay. Please break my heart forever.

I was up for almost an extra hour last night reading tons of your Narnia fic and reveling in its awesomeness, so hope that is happy-making! Otherwise I prescribe cookies, lots and lots of cookies.

And, for the "story you never wrote" meme:

I loved "an orchestra of bones", Peter's story parallel to the Zombie!angst of "this temporary flesh and bone" because oh, Peter. Everyone thinks of him as being the brightness to balance Susan and Edmund, but even brightness needs the darkness and &hearts

<3333 thank you!!! it is totally cool if you do not write something because honestly I could not write something either if someone had a birthday right now. life is crazy! and yours sounds pretty darn crazy! writing projects like crazy oh man! but go you for taking them on! that is brave. and I know you'll do great on your driving test! (ALSO. What is Pevensies/Winchester of Doom and HOW SOON CAN I FLAIL OVER IT OMG)

MEMETIEMS: HEY DUDE I loved that Winchester gen you wrote, it was dark but not hopeless!!, and there was ROADTRIPPING PRANK SHENANIGANS YES, and SWEET TUNES, and I just really liked them being BROTHERS. Oh and of course the lyrics shoutout of the title, "Surely heaven waits for me." it was JUST what I needed when i was worrying about them changing to be too different from each other in season 4!

Oh, Betsy. *hugs* I'm really sorry. I hope everything gets better! *offers love and support*

And, um, for the two memes!

(1) Revolutionverse? How's that coming along? I especially remember how you said Cedric/Holland popped up at one point, how did that happen?

(2) And I absolutely LOVED the Twilight-meets-Narnia you did, with Mary and the Pevensies and the fact that they just took her crazy background in stride. SO GREAT. <333

I just adored All Dressed Up And Nowhere to Go when Edmund found Jack in that Dr. Who Star Wars Cantina and wrecked Jack's planned pick up and conquest for the evening by sauntering up, slapping Jack, and shouting, "You gave me a disease, you freak, that cannot be cured without full body irradiation." And then, Edmund punched Jack and said, "That's for Ianto." So awesome.

I loved "Our Discontent" with Edmund and Sam both dreaming about the worlds they left behind. It's so cool that Edmund became a lawyer, it really seems to fit him. And the lines about "women I have dreamed of" was the most chilling thing I've read for a long time. Aww, Sam and Edmund just want their older brothers to take care of them, but they're in a different place. And the end when he looked out over the vista and it blurred in his mind whether he was looking at Narnia or England, I honestly didn't know if I should cry or be relieved for him.

HEHEHEHE.

I loved that fic whose name I can't remember in which Edmund and Ianto called in one Dr Daniel Jackson for a consultation on a strange form of alien writing that neither of them could identify. I think my favorite bit - how to choose! - was Edmund and Teal'c's discussion of betrayal and redemption. :)

Feel better, and good luck on your driving test!

I loooooved the conversation Edmund and Lucy have "Be the End of Days" concerning the apocalypse, and how you bring to light all the issues inherent in destroying a world, even if it is for something better, and how dead are they really?

<333333333 I hope things are all better
