Bored and Writer's Block isn't helping...
Mar. 24th, 2011 04:30 pm...I'm stuck in the fic I'm working on right now. Well, actually I'm stuck on all the fics I'm working on, but that's neither here nor there. I'm just trying to work on the fills for the prompt entry I posted a little while back and the one I'm focused on at the moment is being mean and I can't get anything else out of it right now. Which sucks because nothing's been resolved yet. *sigh*
I tried working one another fill instead and wasn't even able to get a full sentence written yet. The whole point of asking for prompts was to help jog my writer's block and write some short ficlets. The only one I've managed to finish ended up at 2700 words, I think. This one is looking like it'll be just as long. And I can't even get anything written for the other ones I've got to fill.
And now I'm just bored because I want to read fic, but there haven't been any new Sam/Gabriel fics I can read posted recently. There have been a few posted for the Gabriel Big Bang, and I've read some of them. But there are still quite a few I can't because of content that bugs me. Not that they'd be bad fics, because I'm sure they're awesome. But my squicks won't let me read them and that is soooo annoying. Why do I have to squick so easily?!?!?! And a lot of the J2 and Sam/Dean fics I've seen being posted just aren't holding my interest. WTH?! I even tried branching out into another fandom (Criminal Minds), but can't even finish half the fics I start reading because they aren't Supernatural. >_<;;;
I need, like, deadlines or something. That would help me write, it's always helped me before. But personal deadlines mean nothing to my muse, because they're so easily broken. grrrr...
*pouts*
Sorry for the really weird, random rant. D:

on 2011-03-24 11:35 pm (UTC)I'm almost done with the new chapter of bb. Like, seriously this time. Probably within the next five minutes. Though it sounds like you're in a Sam/Gabriel mood so J2 probably won't help satisfy you. D:

on 2011-03-25 12:05 am (UTC)Still! My plan... right? Right. So... say we have... until um... Sunday night er... wait. *grumbles* Fecking timezones. Right, so say Midnight on Sunday night GMT (which gives us exactly three days) we both have something to post? I dunno... I'm kinda scraping the barrel and sort of begging you to give me motivation. *grin*
I think it's both a good plan and a blatant misuse of your plea! *snicker* See? Skills. Admittedly selfish and twisted skills, but skills all the same. I'm also kinda fatigued and sort of falling asleep as I type, so there is a high chance none of this makes sense...
Um... Fic Swapsies?
...
I'm sure there could be a better name for it... but Fic Swapsies kinda sounds amusing to me. But then... Googamooga sounds amusing to me right this moment.
Hey! There ya go! Should you decide to just ignore my crazed ramblings and just give up on writing, you can try and think of a better name than Fic Swapsies! That's like... what? Two words! And the sense of satisfaction afterwards will feel like you've written a whole novel.
Sorta.
Possibly.
Yeah... going to bed now.

on 2011-03-25 02:52 am (UTC)I think I realized part of my problem with the G/S/C fic. I have it set up as G. POV, C. POV, then S. POV, right? It goes in that order twice. And the next part of the pattern is G. But I'm stuck. So I think I need the rest of it to be in S's instead. Because he and I get along way better than anyone else. lol. I just didn't want to break the pattern. But that'll have to be done.
And: EEEEEE!!! I read this comment a couple hours ago but couldn't comment back because we were in a rush to leave. But I'm sooo excited for Chapter 4. I just saw that it was in my email. ^___________________^ *happy dance*
So, yeah. If you want to give me a prompt/pairing, I'll try to fill it in 100 words. *bites nails*

on 2011-03-25 02:57 am (UTC)Skills, for sure. ^-^
hehehe, Fic Swapsies. That made me giggle when I first read it. LOL. And I flat out laughed at Googamooga. ROFL.
So, yesh. Let's give each other motivation! Sunday night we should both have something to post. If it works out, we can keep it up when we need to write something. *nod*
*SMISHES*

on 2011-03-25 11:05 am (UTC)And, YAY! /o/ I'm glad you're excited about the new chapter!! I'm excited for it to be over, but I'm afraid I'm going to need handholding to make me feel AWESOME about it. I just hope I can rediscover my humor during the editing process. *headdesk x5*

on 2011-03-25 12:53 pm (UTC)Sweet Googoamooga it's a Fic Swapsie!! *giggles like a fool* What made me giggle even more is that I just noticed that I actually wrote Dic Swapsies... *snort* That's something completely different... Oh god, make me stop before I quite possibly scar us all for life.
Woo! See? Now we both have motivation! Yep! I just need to think about what I want to write... Hmm... The limerick fic? Something else? *head desk* This is why I never get any writing done. *snort*
*smishes back*
Sam/Gabriel - Ankle
on 2011-03-26 01:19 am (UTC)* * *
It seems an odd fit. Much like them, in that aspect. He slides his hand down the skin of Sam's leg, curls his fingers right above his foot. His thumb fits perfectly, like a puzzle piece, in the groove of Sam's ankle. It's a favorite position of Gabriel's, his human lying on his back across a newly snapped up couch, resting after long hours and rough hunts, feet plopped gracelessly into his lap. A stroke across sensitive skin, a tender squeeze, and his hunter finally tumbles into a restful sleep. Precious few hours of peace in their world of chaos.

on 2011-03-26 01:50 am (UTC)Very good job! I think Shot Swapsies are gonna be FUN!! /o/
Well, you could prompt me here? That way it's all together? But I like things to be together so that could just be me. I could post an entry at my lj and you could prompt there, if you would prefer? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Oh. And you could prompt me any pairing you would like. I mean, yeah, Sam/Dean and J2 are love, but I'm not opposed to trying out others you would like to see!! :) Just so yah know!
Re: Sam/Gabriel - Ankle
on 2011-03-26 02:04 am (UTC)Yay! Pairing choices! I'm gonna be taking shameless advantage, just so you know. <3
I'll post the prompt in another reply to this comment. I just wanted to say thanks! And that way, it is still all together. :D
New Prompt (for real this time)

It’s only when Jared’s asleep, when his knowing eyes are steeped in dreams, does Jeff touch and remember. Jared’s lying on top of him, a naked and lanky tattoo. He feels the sour, scarred bullet hole too close to Jared’s spine. With the puckered skin pressed like Braille beneath his fingertip Jeff hears a scream, a whisper, a prayer. Not too long ago. Not long enough.
Jared wakes, hazel so coated with sleep Jeff can see the dreams playing there like a silent film. Even asleep, Jared knows. He doesn’t speak but he kisses, sweet sleep-dry lips replacing the sour.

Re: JDM/Jared, remember
on 2011-03-26 03:00 am (UTC)I'll hopefully get started on the Sam/Cas one here soon. Just chillin' with my sister and niece in between this. ^____________^
Again, I looooove it!
Re: JDM/Jared, remember
on 2011-03-26 03:05 am (UTC)Oops! I gave you another prompt cause I thought... IDEK what I thought. LOL. I just won't prompt you again until you fill them, I guess. :P
I'm writing some. It's a kick ass scene, but my attention span has been pretty shity lately. D:
Yay for chillaxin', dude. I should probably go to bed (everyone else has) but I'll be up for another hour or so. Can't wait for more from you!!! /o/
Re: JDM/Jared, remember
on 2011-03-26 03:24 am (UTC)No, dude. Another prompt is awesome. You filled one, so you gave another one. It made sense to me, anyways. LOL
Going to sleep sounds awesome, but I have to wait another hour before I can go to my room (I've gotta help get my niece ready for bed then). :D
YAY! Writing! <3 That ish teh awesomeness.

Dean was the righteous man. And John before him. Sam knows that he will never be in league with the rest of his family. It's not a surprise and it doesn't hurt quite like it did when he was 18 and the black sheep of a fractured family. There's no sting and if there were, Castiel's lips pressed to the nape of his neck, Gabriel's fingertips sweeping trails down his chest would melt the ache away. Replace it with something deeper, burning low, pooling in his spine as tongues tangle, hands grip, legs entwine. The only place he's ever truly belonged.
