Day 3

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.


Sandcastles in the Surf by [livejournal.com profile] ash_carpenter I love this. It was one of the first fics I read and it took my breath away. It's utterly beautiful, dreamy, hopeful and painful all at the same time. I just want to roll around in it and stay there forever.


Benny Knows Best by [livejournal.com profile] the_diggler This is unbelievably filthy and is responsible for leading me into the deep, dark Denny pit of filth which is especially filthy. Filth.


The Ballad of Jensen and Jared  -  Song by seedyapartment  -  Vid by jensenackles1978
It's ridiculous but makes me smile and I'm sure at least a third of the views it's had a from me : )




Apologies for the minimal entry. RL has decided to get horribly real, horribly quickly after the New Year x

Day One

Day One

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.



Are We Having Fun Yet? was the first thing I had written in a really long time and my first fic on LJ. I was voraciously reading my way through [livejournal.com profile] ash_carpenter's work when I read Distraction and it was so good, I started to badger her for a sequel. But then I figured the poor woman probably gets harrassed all the time and maybe I should give her a break and try it myself. So I wrote a thing. It wasn't horrible and I posted it! And then she read it...I've never been so scared in my life...and she didn't hate it! She liked it! So when I say that my being here and posting the kind of stuff that I do, is all her fault, I really, really mean it.


I am the Alpha and the Omega Part 2 was when I realised that my muse is a Sadist. I wrote something and figured it was quite sad but then all the commenters seemed to be dying of angst. I didn't set out to do that it just came out. I never imagined I could write something that affected people in that way and I was, and kinda still am, stunned that I could. I also really loved writing it. Especially the final image. It makes me teary thinking about it. Poor Baby.


Gods and Monsters I went through a spell of fighting my muse. I didn't really want to write the dark stuff. I really didn't want to be depressing and angsty. So my muse left and it was awful. When she came back, thanks mostly to [livejournal.com profile] skeletncloset knocking her into shape, I wrote this. It seemed to just fall out of my brain onto the page and it's dark and awful and fucked up and revolting and it turned my stomach writing it and I think it's the best thing I've ever written. I'm really proud of it. It's not perfect but it feels like progress. To me it's the story that's important and the p*rn bits are just a means to that. I really felt like I made a story with this. That I found my voice.
My muse has horns but we snuggle and she pets my head and reminds me it's all pretend and I don't feel so bad.


So that's my three. If you prefer something else of mine, let me know. Do the challenge so I can read yours too! x

END OF YEAR FEEDBACK MEME
my thread here


Apparently, this is a thing and as you're all so lovely to me all the time, I thought it's only fair for you to have a chance to vent your spleens and have at my muse in a way in which she deserves. I already intend to cry myself to sleep* so now's your chance! x

*not really : )

Recs

Some things I saw I liked.

This is a tumblr post of some of the sound effect subtitles on the show. See if you can spot the sound of the fandom in there : )

This broke my heart.

Tiny Plastic Flowers by [livejournal.com profile] homo_pink killed me. It's so...I can't even. Just read it. I would give internal organs to be able to write like her.

The Holy or the Broken Hallelujah by [livejournal.com profile] pinkwithoutplot is so good. Read parts one and two so you're addicted and then help me nag her to finish it as I just can't stand the suspense! J2 AU priest!kink

Also, on Christmas morning I usually watch It's a Wonderful Life but this year I opted for The Christmas Cottage. I love it and not just because Jared is in it. The wonderful [livejournal.com profile] brightly_lit wrote this lovely piece about it so if you haven't seen it you can check it out here.

I hope everyone survived the Holiday Season mostly intact. Just New Year to go and it'll all be over : ) x
alexisjane: (crazy jared)
Well, maybe recs by a wreck...forget writing, Christmas is hard!

Anyway, stuff I liked this week.

This picture...pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease (no spoilers)

This gif set of the different angel!Sam's The true Sammy smile of the last one kills me.

Vid recs are here. I added six new ones all at the top so just press play. Mostly angsty as usual but [livejournal.com profile] ash48's Sunshine Day is in there too to take the egde off. Always makes me smile.

When you touch me I die by [livejournal.com profile] king_wizard Holy hellfire porn about porn that blew my mind (yes, mind) J2 (what?)

I See You by [livejournal.com profile] amyww Ohsogood build up to firsttime.

Do It So It Feels Like Hell by [livejournal.com profile] anactoria I had the pleasure of betaing this so got to read it about twelve times and it was a pleasure every single time. Harsh concept beautifully written.

Raise Some Noel by [livejournal.com profile] katstark Extremely Xmassy. Oh and what I wouldn't give...well, you'll see

This got me thinking about Xmassy fics and two of [livejournal.com profile] ash_carpenter's popped in my head.
Her Christmas Anti-Kink is just so funny. All season I've been having to bite my lip to stop guffawing everytime I see fairylights.
Also, Cinders. I know not technically Xmassy but it's like a 70k word Panto  explanation )   choc full of the mad, bad, twisted, funny stuff that Ash does so well. Made me feel festive. Gonna read it again with eggnog!

Anyway...x
alexisjane: (Lilith)
It finally happened.
After what feels like weeks of sitting here with a head of emptiness (no blonde jokes please) begging and pleading with my muse to stop mucking about while she cackled in the corner and horded the plot bunnies like toilet paper...I finally wrote something.

I'd like to take the credit for getting her to straighten up and fly right but I can't and won't.
It took [livejournal.com profile] skeletncloset to hold her down and in her best [livejournal.com profile] alexadean voice, exorcizamus te the shit out of her for which I am eternally and profoundly grateful.

And then I wrote something. And then it became clear that my muse hadn't been sick or mad or petulant...she was evolving into something else.

My muse has horns...and a long red tail, ending in a flint-sharp arrowhead that she flicks like a switchblade. And she's a hugger.

What was written is in a place so far beyond okay, I was nearly a little bit sick in my mouth. But then I realised that if this is what I write, this is what I write and you all don't have to read it if you don't want to.

So, words are coming, being beta'd as we speak.
So this is me, warning you, paraphrasing BW, that if it is wrong, then I've given up on wanting to be right and I just hope you all still respect me in the morning x
alexisjane: (my boys)
Mentioned this in a comment to [livejournal.com profile] brightly_lit and realised I hadn't watched it in a while.
Some of the best advice on creating, good words used beautifully, all wrapped up in Neil Gaiman's voice, which I could listen to forever.
If you haven't seen it, it's 20 minutes well spent x

Tuesday!

Dec. 10th, 2013 07:46 am
alexisjane: (Kissing)
Oh... : (
Neverrmind. Gonna start my S8/9 rewatch later while we wait.

So I had a thought last night.

Sam's Peen of Death + Dean dying approx 104 times ∴ are they trying to tell us that Wincest is canon?

Just saying ; ) x
alexisjane: (Dean looking down)
So I pop out to walk the dogs and pick up a something for work and by the time I get back the street is cordoned off.

As I'm trudging round to the other end of it with two tired dogs, an awkward heavy bag and the week long headache threatening to return, my 'oh man, hope we can get back into the house' turns somewhat abruptly into a 'oh man, do we really want to go back to the house' when the army bomb disposal rolls by.
So this happened... )

Anyway...*hugs you all*...enough of that x
alexisjane: (OPT)
Okay, it's taken me twelve hours to get it together enough to do an ep reaction for 9:09.
It's still incoherent.
And with swearing. Lots and lots of swearing. And way too many exclamation points.
Spoilers, threats of violence and cuss words here )

In other news, I thought Sam's hair looked nice.

I'm going for a lie down x
alexisjane: (crazy jared)
Finally...Tuesday! I thought you'd never get here.

It's been a long, slightly horrid week so very glad to make it to Tuesday.
Sooo looking forward to tonight's ep. Have managed to avoid any spoilers so have no clue what's going to happen but I'm assuming there may be some epic Ezekiel action, or at least that's what I'm hoping, cliff hanger and all.

Part of the reason this week has been icky has been my muse's steadfast refusal to put out. She has taken the plot bunnies and headed off to parts unknown, leaving a cryptic note that would take a prophet to decipher. I swear one of the words is 'falafel'.
Anyway, I expressed this state of affairs to a couple of folk and realised trying to come up with excuses for her being a lameass is actually kinda fun. Like the writer's block equivalent of 'Yo Mamma". I shall undoubtedly add more to this list until she gets her arse back in gear.
If you have any, send via comments! I need funnys.

My Muse... )

Recs...
Vid recs )

This is not SPN but it's beautiful. [livejournal.com profile] kalliel's 1327- Fast 6 Paul Walker's death, along with his friend's, broke a little piece of my brain at the weekend. Just when I stopped crying, she posted this and I started all over again. It's beautiful but agonising as you can feel her grief poured into it. Read it and then send her hugs.


On a happier note...I saw this thing...

If anyone fancies writing a fic or can rec one that's already been done about this, I'll be happy : )


Anyway.
Tuesday.

Thank god it's Tuesday x

PIE!

Nov. 29th, 2013 11:56 am
alexisjane: (LOL)
So [livejournal.com profile] toratio wrote a thing over at [livejournal.com profile] spn_bunker and then I said a thing and then she wrote this comment fic that had me rolling on the floor laughing!

Dean thinks Sam is pie.

Hands down one of the funniest things I read in a while mainly as I can so see and hear Dean yelling like this!

I like me some pie x
alexisjane: (Dean looking down)
Well, I know it isn't Tuesday...of any kind...but I'm a bit delayed in all things this week.
My fic is all sticky (not in a good way) and my muse has run off with my plot bunny, so I'm feeling a little...meh

However : )

As far as 9:08 went..

9:08 )

So after next week there's way too many days til the following ep so I shall probably rewatch S8 and 9 so far and maybe S7 depending on how much Festive stuff I can get out of. I find it much easier to take in the story when I watch it in chunks and get to see all the lovely sub text too. Just warning you there may be eggnog fueled babbling...as opposed to the regular kind : )

Wanted to rec some stuff I've seen this week.

Don't you cry no more is a super fic by sixtysevenimpalaThe first time Sam gets hurt on a hunt. Really loved this take on Dean keeping Sam safe. The tone is great. I read it as gen though it says wincest in the warnings. Teen and up / 3000

When Memory Fades by [livejournal.com profile] ephermeralk is just fab. Really good story, brilliantly told. Made me all sad and happy and sad...really loved it. Wincest / NC-17 / 3800

Hard-Won Inches by [livejournal.com profile] bewaretheides15
This is the first of this author's I read and it's most definitely not for everyone. It's Weecest.
Which usually squicks the hell out of me but this is so well written, just so beautifully done...there is sex stuff but not in a creepy way...and gives a whole new dimension to the whole amulet story. I will never be able to look at it in the same way again! NC-17 / 3800
Anyway, I love her writing style, even when there's very little dialogue, she has the voice and tone down amazingly well, the stories are really well crafted. I'm working my way through them.
If you can find something she's written in your wheelhouse, read it.
Another great one is Nothing Like a Bad Idea (Sam is 16) which is fun but also really clever and well observed...and porn but hey... NC-17 / 3800

This is a great gif set of the faces of Dean, that I really liked. It's missing the lovely Brock and Dylan but it has some of his best facial expressions and moments.

These are pictures of Dean/Jensen's naked self...well, naked bits of him...well, his naked belly. Just sooo bite-able...grrr

And finally, I saw this on Pinterest and was surprised at just how many sounded like SPN episodes!
I'm sure there's a psychological lesson in there somewhere.
I think I might use them as story prompts in the future but I wanted to share them as they made me laugh so hard!

funny-list-books-kids-school

That's it. Not Tuesday. Just similar.
Peace out Bitches x
alexisjane: (crazy jared)
I have a genuine query about Sam's hair and how it relates to the fandom but I don't want to upset anyone so I've put it beneath the cut. It involves the one time that scissors might win : /
There a cool pic though to make up for it : ) x

Hair Thoughts )title or description

Tuesday

Nov. 26th, 2013 01:08 pm
alexisjane: (LOL)
It's Tuesday.

I have nothing really to say...except does anyone else get really sad looking at all the fab Con stuff that people put up?
I do but not because I want to be there. I just know if I was there I'd be a dribbling wreck and I'm so profoundly uncool I could never go to one of these things.
Seriously.
I once passed Anthony Hopkins on the street in New York and nearly passed out. Maybe its a medical thing.

Anyway...

Tuesday! I was doing my Tuesday dance (no, I'm not showing you) and someone was asking me about Tuesday and I was happily telling them how awesome it is when I remembered this fic, Tuesday : ( It was one of the first fanfics I read and one of the reasons I stuck around. It's seriously f*cked up. No surprises as to who wrote it : ) It will change your Tuesdays forever (also Mystery Spot! One of my favs!)

Also...

If you haven't already, come join [livejournal.com profile] spn_bunker
It's nice there. Just a place to rec anything you like about the show in general, strictly spoilers under the cut, and ship-neutral.
I like it. You might.

That's it. Looking forward to the next ep. I'm imagining it'll hit the...spot...one way or another : )
Have a lovely Tuesday x
alexisjane: (crazy jared)
Just came across this - here - on youtube and thought it would be just perfect to show someone if they asked what the show was like. Perfect clips but cut so quick doesn't really give anything away.

Then I thought ,'Well that's not the whole story' so I think I'd include this one too - here - as I think it sums up the other side of SPN...including the stupid music!

See. Told you it was quick x
alexisjane: (hugs)
...'Cause my mind wanders...

Talking about and around the show upto 9:06 )

It was a long shower x
