smallfandomfest is taking prompts again. I had so much fun with this the last time I did it, and I hope you guys are interested, too. So far I've submitted prompts for The Fast and the Furious, The Lost Boys, and Lilo & Stitch, though I'll probably add some Baby-sitters Club and maybe Blue Crush later.

Yay! musesfool is running the Remix Redux again this year! Along with Yuletide, this is one of my favorite ficathons in which to participate, and I look forward to it every year. (You know, there was a time when I never did ficathons, ever. These days, that's about the only thing I do, at least when it comes to writing fic [though I guess that's been changing since I went back to school and fear writing to a deadline]. It's funny to look at how my fandom life has changed over the years.)

I encourage you guys to participate once sign-ups go life (tomorrow, I think). It's a lot of fun. Hard work, don't get me wrong, but a lot of fun.

I think, despite my work tonight, my spn_50states is going to be late and not posted tomorrow.

On the other hand, I've just watched Blue Crush again, for maybe the five hundredth time, and as always, I am filled with glee at the end. Not where she has that super cheesy perfect wave ending, or where she and the football player kiss, but where she strokes Eden's face and then kisses her! Sure, it's on the cheek (or the temple, depending on the exact angle) but it's still a caress and a kiss. She knows who really loves her.

Yes, this is research for the spn_50states story, I swear. Which continues to be an awesome idea, though the execution is weak, as usual.

At a coffee shop. Have a giant iced tea, just finished a bagel, and am writing.

Current files open:

+ "eden in the morning" (working title) - A Blue Crush fic about, shockingly, Eden in the mornings. I think I've finally figured out how to write it.
+ "Snake in the Grass (Wearing Dog Skin)" - A The Breed fic for a ficathon.
+ two beta copies of "Snake in the Grass (Wearing Dog Skin)"
+ "The Marching Band Refused to Yield" (working title) - A Bring It On alternate universe about cheerleaders, marching bands, and the way Missy and Torrance love each other.

It's a shame messenger seems to be down right now. I could use some company.

You would think, after writing nikitangel's birthday story, I would swear off new fandoms for awhile. You would think I would learn. You would be wrong, but, you know, that would be logical.

I really want to write The Breed girl slash.

I'm going to have to price it locally tomorrow and see if anyone can beat Amazon. Not likely, considering there's only about one option in town, but I would really like to get started on this story (it's for the Twice Told Fandom challenge), instead of the one I already started for it.

I just have the perfect scenario. Damn it. Another new fandom in less than a month? I used to be a one fandom woman, you know. I swear. About ten years ago, but still.

Edited to Add: Okay, it is going to be very hard to write this, because the character's name is spelled Sara and it needs an h, people. Just ask thestalkycop. I've typed Sarah so many billions of times I don't know if I'll be able to make the switch.

So I just got my dream assignment for this year's spn_50states (you can sign up for states here), which is Hawaii. Yay Hawaii. Now I just have to narrow it down because off the top of my head I have approximately fifty different legends I could tweak for the SPN universe.

So much fun! Obviously I am trying to get lots of fic writing done before I leave for school and no longer have any free time.

Apparently smallfandomfest is taking prompts for its small fandom, er, fest. I have, of course, posted The Fast and the Furious prompts so far, pushing Letty/Mia, but I plan to add more later. These prompts can later be claimed for fic or art purposes, and I think it's a good way to get smaller fandoms together.

Post your prompts here.

+ The Apocalyptothon is taking fandom suggestions for the next ficathon. You don't have to intend to sign up for it to vote, so go list the things you'd love to read, if nothing else.

I love "normal" fandoms hit by an apocalypse myself. I'd love to see Blue Crush or The Fast and the Furious during an apocalypse. (In fact, I may have to write these anyway -- I just had a Blue Crush apocalypse idea.)

+ cofax7 has an interesting post defending John Winchester. I, personally, am a big fan of Daddy Winchester, and do not understand why so much of fandom hates him.

Before I went to the gym, J. came to get me because Billy Wirth's American Gladiators appearance was on tv during some marathon. This was back in the days of long hair and strong upper body. Yum. He still looked a lot like Dwayne then.

"A quiet guy who the fans really like." Yeah, that sounds about right.

This has been sitting here all evening. I should hit post. Also, as usual, I am really far behind on livejournal, and am reading sporadically whenever I get the chance.

Oh, people, do you know how much I love my remix redux assignment? A lot. A whole lot. I love it like a burning thing, which is actually a nice, clever word play based on the situation, but unfortunately none of you can know about that yet. Just know that I am beyond thrilled, I am absolutely giddy and filled with glee, both by the story I just chose to remix and by the actual assignment itself. You'll see why I'm amused and pleased.

That being said, here's a quick letter to whomever received me as an assignment.

Dear Remixer,

I'm sorry my stories aren't all located in one place. I hope between Escritoire Azul's automated fic archive and the older stories at Of Luv and Blood, you'll be able to find what you need. (Any story written since I started this livejournal can also be found in the memories, under FIC:[fandom].)

I am of the mind that the remixer should get as much freedom as possible, so really, whatever you want to do will be fine. I love to see how my stories are changed, twisted, dark corners brought into light, and I have never disliked how a remixer has treated my work.

I am already thankful that you chose to participate and that you received my name. The most important thing is I want you to have fun with whatever you do.

femslash07 is taking sign-ups here now.

I quite love my sign-up, and I really love a lot of the others. I feel all inspired to write, both for the ficathon itself, and on my own.

(Of course, the tenyearsofbuffy prompt list is inspiring me to write, too. I don't know if I'll sign up for a promt, because I don't know if I can choose just one, but I may write some, anyway. Actually, I've already started on one which Sarah liked.)
