Writing update and other things in my fandom world

[strangevisitor7]

Since most of my flist likes the crossovers, I wanted to let ya'll know that the crossover_news community is back up and running with a weekly compilation of all that is posted in the crossover world. Yours truly is one of the worker bees. Check out all the stories from all over fandom. Also, be sure to let us know about any missing communitites or stories we should know about.

I wanted to thank clarksmuse and idontlikegravy for their recs of my crack fic A Muse Explains It All. I am so overwhelmed with the response this story has gotten. Thank you all for your lovely comments and feedback!

The next Immortal!Dean is close to being finished. I'm 17,000 word in and its just burning a hole in my pocket. It's almost done but you never know - you've met my muse. Still i have been feeding her lots of cheese so it should be done soon.

So I need to know should I start posting the beta'd chapters now or wait until it's complete?.

LOL - Thanks!

Oh! Yay!! I'm so excited to hear about a crossover newsletter! I miss so much and this way, I can try and keep better track of the fics I'm... well... keeping track of! *lol*

Thanks for undertaking it!

I was motivated by my own need to keep current with everything everyone is writing.

While I was compliling my part this weekend I kept getting distracted by stuff I wanted to read. [g]

[wizefics.livejournal.com]

You found new chapters to the Ispwich Hunt... LOL. I had to force myself to stop reading those long enough to thank you.

Thank you. *bows humbly*

And if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. :)

If you want to help, leave a message to dhfreak. She our fearless leader. Glad that the site has already helped you find things you were looking for :D

Abstaining from the poll, since I've already read what's written.

It's good to be the beta.

Even better to be the other writer of the shared world. XD

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Yep you do have an advantage. My mind was in WV all week - Time to get back to the story and finish it up.

[pen37.livejournal.com]

*nods* Can't wait. XD
Speaking of finishing stories.
Yeah, I should get on mine.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Today is a good day for writing. i will do my stuff and get to special projects from you for sure

[pen37.livejournal.com]

No hurry. I still have to finish the darn thing.
*grumbles*

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

No pressure... but, you know... posting soon-ish? *grins*

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

I hope to get the last of this story done soon but i don't think it will be the end obviously; Immortal Dean goes on and on. So sometimes it's hard to know where is a good place to stop and regroup.

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

I do so know what you mean, my friend. And here's the super cool thing about having a series that can go onward into infinity: find some kind of stopping point for the main story... and then you can make little ficlets periodically for other storylines.

At least, this is what I have planned for Jo and Chloe.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

There is something weird about a story that blocks your brain. i want to post it but i can't seem to finish this last chapter. i feel very much in a catch-22.

look forward to the many adventure of C&J but you know that

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

Do you think it's because you're trying to end this storyline/the series? I know I've struggled with that in the past myself.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

I think it's because this section (17,00 words in)has a natural ending but doesn't answer the underlying mystery i set up. So I can't decide if i should keep going or call this the end for the moment. i think it is a very satisfying place to stop and sets the stage for the next arc. but I'm torn if it shouldn't be one long story

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

Personally, if your gut is telling you that this is the end, then that's what it should be. One thing I've learned is to follow your instinct. So go for it. ;)

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

I think I will. Because the thought of going past where I am is what is blocking me for the moment. i know there is a lot more story to tell - I just haven't worked it all out.

how's you break going - feeling refreshed?

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

Because the thought of going past where I am is what is blocking me for the moment.

So there you go. ;) And you know you can always email me later if/when you need help with teh brainstorming.

Break is great! ♥ Feeling quite refreshed and productive!

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm feeling that I can push through the "last" chapter now

*hee* my Icon of Inspiration (must not think of crossroads demon as muse)

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

well, i love Immortal!Dean.... but i myself wait until the fic is done or mostly done to post... but that's just me....

:D

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Yeah - I'm feeling the wait and post vibe from the flist. This story seems to be blocking all others so i guess i better finish it before it requires all my cheese

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

oh i know what that's like......

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

I know and i'm running out of cheese. [g]

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

hmmm... that could be an issue....

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Since, i am feeling revived from my weekend of gambling in WV. I'm ready to give it some real focus tomorrow and get to the end ..I hope. ;p

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

awesome!

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

This is also why i like poles - no real answer but it is nice to work through the block and know that people are waiting for the story and being supportive

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

heheh yeah.....
