This Journal Protected by Rock Salt and Winchesters

Heellooo!. *listens to the echo rebounding around the internet*

Well my copy of HP & TDH came yesterday at 10am. Hubby had first dibs. The man took the book read until 5pm. Then took a nap to recharge and finished the damn thing at 3am. I don't know what I find more amazing: That he read it that fast or that he needed a nap to continue his marathon reading session.

Now I have to wait for Seth to finish before I get my turn. Here's hoping he feels like a marathon read

Today,is the one month anniversary of my Live Journal. I just wanted to thank all of you who helped me get started and who encouraged me to participate. I want to thank everyone who has ever read one of my stories and especially if you have taken to time to let me know what you think. You guys rock!

I am having a blast. I said it before and I'll say it again - Why did I wait so long. I was a lurker for too long. So, I say to all you lurkers out there. Tell me who you are, let me know you and freind you. Call it "pay it forward." Come join the party

I finally watched the season finale of Stargate:Atlantis. The silliest thing made me happy especially at 1am. They called Chuck the Canadian tech guy, Chuck. I love when fandom becomes canon in silly ways like this.

I have found that the one draw back to writing my own fiction is that I am not reading as much of everyone else's. So far behind.
Time to sleep I have to be up at 6:30 am. I'm an idiot and a bit of an insomniac.

So, I started the new job on Monday. The one where I get paid to watch paint dry as my son says. Actually, I'm more of an engineer.
Huge new office with a door, Yea! But someone else's crap everywhere They were fired so I guess I shouldn't bitch about cleaning the space out myself. Filled two dumpsters full of junk. Hope no one needed that stuff.

It is impossible to remember the names of 40 people who introduce themselves all at once. I've met at least 6 Daves and 5 Jeffs. I am going with one of those if I can't remember and play the odds. Very stressful.

Very little time to write which adds to the stress. My multi-chapter fic is up to 8 chapters and 10,000words. It is by far the longest thing I've ever tried to write and I'm kind of blocked.

I thought random stream of conscience here would get me going again. Off now to beat my muse into submission. Thanks for listening

I haven't written anything more than one chapter but I have begun a longer fiction. I just started chapter 4.

So, I am looking for some advise.
When you are working on a long multichapter fiction, do you post as each chapter as it is finished or do you wait till the whole thing is written? Do you always know where its going because I can see my ending but not clearly?
Should I post any way.

If you post each chapter before the whole fic is done what if something changes further down the line?

I realize that everyone has different things that work for them.

I want to start posting this story but I have some concerns that the story may never be finished or that I write myself into a corner and can't finish.

So just thought I'd ask.

Insta rec. Pay attention.

ignipes has gone a written a sequel to her Cartography in Empty Spaces called The Edge of the Known World I consider the first story to be a classic. The sequel does the 'verse proud. If you haven't read these WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR

lyra_wing wrote the most amazing American Gods/Supernatural crossover called Dust In The Wind. She captures the idea of Myth as Gods as if it were part of his story. In addition, American Gods by Neil Gaimen is just the most amazing book and one of my all time favorites.

Request for fiction:
My husband has been very supportive of my new writing hobby. Reading the finished product etc.

A few days ago, he made a request for a story. He wants a SPN/Sponge Bob crossover. Now, I know he's not on crack and I think he may have been kidding but I kinda would like to see this story.

I have no way of even beginning to meet his request. No plot bunnies have wondered into my field of view. So, I was just wondering if there was anything like that out there or if someone was interested in helping me grant his fiction request.

Can I add that I would owe you big time.

Who knew they were hiding the stargate in a Mini-golf course in Canada.


I should be working but instead I am playing with my Journal. Considering this is my last week here before the new job, nobody really expects too much. Yep, so new Job. I am going to head the quality control group for a company that makes Industrial Paint. And along the lines of "kids say the darnedest things", my older son asks if my new job is watching paint dry. Which, sadly is part of it because, you know the whole quality testing thing. But on the plus side, big raise and an office with a door. So, to all you cubicle dwellers out there - have hope.


I suppose not every post has to have a rec in it but I still have to figure out how to code these things correctly so I might as well practice on the next set of recs. I think I figured out how to put the title in the link thing. (thanks for the help bluevsgrey )

wynter_rebel wrote When Its Over. (SPN GEN)So sad i don't think I have stopped crying and there is Character death be warned.

One more just to make sure I know what I'm doing
From TTH a SPN/BtVS - Sam/Dawn & Dean/Faith by Bee Once More With Feeling A great idea for pairing Sam and Dawn. Its A WIP but doesn't leave you hanging where it ends. I always like Dean with Faith Better than Dean with Buffy. Minority me, I know.

My friend and i have decided that all things odd happen in Kansas as opposed to the idea that Kansas is the most normal place in the world.  Hence the expression "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" to identify the weird.  But we have decided that the correct expression for identifying when things are not normal is  "That is so Kansas" because it is nothing but weird there

First it seems every time they want to Nuke this country they drop the bomb on Kansas.

1.  In 1983, the movie  "The Day After"  the enemy nuked Lawrence Ks (good thing the Winchesters got out)
   
2. Jericho also nuked Kansas

Then there are the people from Kansas who grew up to know the weird

1. Our Boys Sam and Dean Winchester are from Lawrence, Ks
   
2. Clark Kent and all the meteor stricken freaks of Smallville, Ks
3. Colonel Mitchell of SG-1 is also from Kansas
   
4. Dorothy and her crew who started it all

Not to mention that stull cemetery http://www.prairieghosts.com/stull.html is considered a gateway to hell and located, gee,  just 10 miles from Lawrence Ks.

Our poor Winchesters never had a chance.  And is it wrong that i talk about them like they are real
