So, I'm doing the cover letter thing for the New Writers' Scheme thing, and I have to say what genre Stumble Forward falls into.

M/M Romance doesn't seem quite right to me. Yes, it's technically that but given the level of angst and heartbreak, do you think that I should say it's M/M Romantic Drama...or some other kind of thing?

And yes, I am overthinking this. How can you tell? : )

I have no idea what I'm doing : ( xx

ETA I will shut up about this eventually, I promise xx

12th Dec: debauchedsock - Why don't you want to eat kale?

Okay, for those that haven't seen it, I have a tag - please don't make me eat kale.

The reasons are thusly.

  1. I think I made this tag when GISHWHES was coming up. Misha has a thing about kale and I was worried that one of the tasks would be kale related.

  2. I thought it sounded funny....

  3. ...especially if you imagine Dean's face confronted by a plate of kale : )

  4. I used to enjoy kale very much. We used to get an organic veggie box delivered each week and curly kale was one of the staples. It was a bitch to wash but then it would make a really excellent soup. One week after soaking the stuff for an hour and then washing each piece individually by hand, I made soup. I was putting the cooked veg into the blender when a piece flopped over the side. At least that's what it looked like. A piece of kale held on by a tendril, like a thread of stalk or something. Except on closer inspection it wasn't. It was a chrysalis. A kale-coloured chrysalis. So I took the cocoon and chucked it in the bin and then looked at the kale for a long time, wondering how many other pupating winged creatures were in there and what in the hell I was supposed to do with all that kale. So I did the only sensible thing. I whizzed up the rest of the soup and served it to my family. I had a salad.

  5. I will never, ever eat kale again.

Pick a date in December and give me something to talk about. Give me a question or topic-- I'm going to say anything goes, either fannish (TV, movies, books, comics, music, fandom, ships, fictional characters, actors, writing, arting) or real life (if you touch something I don't want to talk about, I'll tell you and you can pick something else).

I don't know what we ate but Lily and I have a tummy ache today so we've been sitting around watching Teen Wolf under a blanket. She finally ate something at 5pm so she must be feeling better. I feel like I wanna do stuff but I have the indigestion from hell...so I'm just going to stay here.

I did however just want to leave you guys this, as when I opened my tumblr it was just right there and oh god, how I squeed : ) Hope y'all had a lovely weekend : ) xx

Today is inbox day.

This morning the total stands at 1203

So expect some answers to messages/comments that you've probably forgotten you sent me from months ago and other randomness!

I'm also going to try and tackle my email too, so today should be fun!!


In other news, my friend had a baby last night.
I'm so happy.


Love your faces ♥

I've seen this everywhere but [livejournal.com profile] milly_gal asked for it so... : ) x


  1. How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for?
    I first found my way to the SPN Family and fanfic on LiveJournal last year. I read for a few months before writing something  and posting it with a huge amount of support from [livejournal.com profile] ash_carpenter and haven't stopped since : )

Blatherings.... )

Apparently, today is  EPSR Day! (everyone-post-something-random day...I may have just made that up...maybe...I didn't really put much thought into it to be fair...people said we have to post so I'm posting...I'm too tired to say 'no')

Tired and rambling random )

Okay...I think I've sufficiently recovered enough from 9.23 that I can start thinking about looking at things SPN again without bursting into tears and I want to start my watch through (Hellatus I usually start from the beginning...I know, I know but it wasn't such an mission in the days waiting for S4...now *gulps* I can do it, I can) BUT as always my brain is making life way more complicated than it needs to be.

Because I need screencaps for art refs, and because I need research for my MiniBang, and because I need shots for a vid, and because I want to write a meta thing about John, I figure this time I need to make some notes and stuff as I watch...except I'm not quite sure how to organise that or how to even begin to start to organise that. So I'm just not doing it. And I need to. Time is short and stuff like I need to watch the whole of S1 before I can start on my MiniBang makes it kinda urgent.

So if you have any organizational tips or just wanna give me a good 'ole kick in ass, I know you love that kinda thing ; )

And how do you keep track of your images or vid clips? Or are there any cool online resources for this sort of stuff that you've come across that help? I'm always amazed how some of you can just pull an image out of the air when it would take me twenty minutes just to find the right folder on my desktop.

Anyway...that's it really. Imma go vacuum now : ) x

You Call This Kale Salad? by Matt Hyams

"Are you serious? You expect me to believe this is kale salad? You think I was born yesterday? Or in 2009?...Is there even dressing on this thing? You philistine. You coward."
