and we frolicked about

Even though I'm not in SPN fandom anymore I obviously still hear what's going on. I'd have to live under a rock to not hear what went on this weekend and the resulting out pouring of sharing between people all around LJ as a result.

I'm not going to weigh in one way or another on what's been said or done or who's right and wrong because other people have said it far better than I ever could. I also can't comment on anything that has been shared or post anything personal because I have been unbelievably lucky throughout my 27 years to never be in a situation where I've felt or been threatened, assaulted or powerless so I feel very inadequate in understanding completely what many of you have gone through.

I just wanted to say thank you to the people who have shared their stories and who have been arguing and fighting through all of this to not only keep the reality of the situation on focus but for educating others, including myself, who I'm willing to bet did not previously realize that things they may have gone through in their lives were wrong and 100% not their fault. You're some of the smartest, strongest people I've ever known/heard of/read about and that everyone is standing up to protect their own is amazing. You're all the reason why this fandom is the smartest one I've ever been in.

I just got an email from "myself" (marishna @ LJ.com) with the subject "give it to her from behind" and this picture on the inside:

( there's no nudity but it's mildly nsfw )

So... yeah. I apparently did her from behind so hard that she lost her FACE.

Before I go sleep like the dead: new Katie pictures. I MISS YOU.

- kallysten is a writer who's had a bunch of things published through Alinar Publishing. Right now there's a Preditors and Editors poll going on for fics and writers of 2007. Her fic "Over the Edge" is up here and "Dare I?" is up here. Could you all take a few seconds out of your day to go vote for her? Voting ends on the 15th!

- The Futon Critic listed the best 50 episodes of 2007 (from January 7th, here) and SPN made the list! I'm not sure I necessarily agree with their choice but hey! It made a list! WOO!

45. "Supernatural: Hollywood Babylon" (the cw)
(originally aired: april 19, 2007)
Sure the in-jokes here alone are worth a spot on this list ("Boogeyman," "Gilmore Girls," etc.) but it's the zeal in which Dean (Jensen Ackles) embraces his undercover PA job that really seals the deal.

- WTF Tori Spelling on Smallville? I know I don't watch the show but you'd think I'd have noticed something as cracky as that.

- The fanmix requests from this post are coming slowly but also getting out of control. I have a fic started for one of them. :| I'm trying to work out the plans for how my abouttwoboys fic is going to go but I'm having issues with the characters. There will be a post coming up about that soon for help and opinions.

Aaaaand... that's all. I'll probably have caps later.

01) Dear SPN fandom (or any fandom, really):

If your GEN fic has a pairing significant enough to appear in your header? It's NO LONGER GEN.

Love n' hugs, Mari

02) So LJ's gone a little batshit again and now Ponderosa121 has been suspended. Hi, lame. If anything ever happens or if I finally shoot the shit out of this place like a rabid postal worker you can find me at:

Insane Journal || Journal Fen || Greatest Journal
Tumblr || Last.fm

Basically- just about ANYWHERE you can create a journal or profile for yourself I am Marishna. It's unlikely I'll ever be anything else. Feel free to friend away and I'll more than likely friend you back since there's really nothing overly personal on those sites yet. Go. Shoo! Friend!

03) I want to do those gift and love meme things but signing up for other people's means I have to reciprocate and I honestly don't know if I'll ever get around to it. I know I suck at those memes and although I really WANT to do them I don't know if I WOULD and that isn't fair. How about I just say that I love you all and love is my gift. Not death, though. Not today. Sorry. Come back tomorrow for that one.

04) "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5 is what I believe to be Sandy's song when she finds out Jared's cheating on her and I want to write that fic SO BADLY. In fact, I want to write a series of fics, of sorts, based on that whole CD. The next spn_fanmix challenge, perhaps? Go join.

05) I would, however, like to do that WIP snippet meme. Basically- you post a snippet from your WIPs. Sound simple? Yeah. Only I have something close to 40+ fics in varying stages of serious work right now. I start them and then leave them to kind of... mature. Ferment, if you will. And then I go back and write more or sometimes! SOMETIMES! I even finish them!

Anyway.

( Jared/Jensen, titled 'Jared's married'. Because I'm creative like that )

( Sam/Chris 1. Actually, this fic is finished. But I've been working on the other parts to this and wanting to get a start on those before I posted the first part. It was written for Gwen because she asked for it in a meme or something and it kind of took on a life of its own )

( Sam/Chris 2. I've been hoping to get parts 2 and 3 knocked out all this time )

( Jared/Jensen // Slashfest fic 2, for Wendy that hasn't quite gotten finished yet. I WILL, THOUGH! )

( Sam/Dean // what if the apocalypse came before Dean could get to Sam in the pilot? - this fic is something that I've been working on for months now and I love it like a loving thing. It's got a couple parts to it, maybe three, I think. And I've been writing in all of them which is why it's not finished in any way at all. But I LOVE this fic. Is it right to love your own fic so much? )

( Jared/Jensen // This one is titled 'Jared's a virgin' in my google docs )

( Jared/Jensen // basically- Jared buys a house in Vancouver. Blame Wendy, it's all her fault'. )

( Dean/Jessica // titled 'WIaWSNB fic Dean/Jessica' in Google Docs )

( Jared/Jensen // titled 'Jared and Jensen meet in a bar' (I know, how creative am I?) I love this fic too. I have the whole thing plotted out in my plot bunnies doc on Google. Said plotbunnies doc? 48 items long and doesn't include everything I have started within the Docs thing )

( Girl!Sam 2 // sequel/second part to the first girl!Sam fic I did a while back )

( Gen? // Five Times Dean was naked in the Impala- started this a looooooooong time ago when I did the five things meme last fall. Yeah. I rescued it from languishing as a doc on my computer and now it's languishing as a doc on Google )

( Jared/Jensen // Titled 'Virginia's plotbunny' because seedyapartment threw a plotbunny out there back in like... February? Yeah. :| :| Sorry. )

( Sam/Dean? // 'Sam's in the army, Dean's captured'. I LOVE this fic, too. I started it earlier this year and I have this one planned out pretty well, too.  )

I have to stop there. There's just too many. Jared and Jensen get stoned, more of the office!verse I started earlier this year, gap fillers, a wing!fic... yeah. I have TOTAL ADD when it comes to writing. I'm amazed I get anything done at all. To be fair, though, BigBang took up A LOT of my attention for the first 6 months of the year. It's pretty much the only thing I did for a while there.

TGIF!

When you see this on your flist, make a post and quote Supernatural in your journal.

"House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole."

*pumps fist in air*

*trudges off to work*

LESS THAN 12 HOURS!

( Cut for rambling/semi ranting about fics and questions about the classification of them )

( spn_fridayfive )

I've signed up for too many fic challenges, I can already tell. svmadelyn's Kink and Cliche ficathon, dooooooom, a fic for the person who won me for Sweet Charity, I REALLY want to do sevenfists Evil!Sam ficathon and oxoniensis Hugs, Kisses and Cuddles fic thing, I'm still contemplating the spn_summergen ficathon and I have the sinking suspicion I signed up for something else but I can't remem- oh, right. I signed up for two requests at slashfest. OH. AND highwaymiles just re-opened. AND AND AND I have this little thing called spn_j2_bigbang happening. super_summer has to be started somewhere in the midst of all these due dates, too. [ETA] Riiiiiight. AND I signed up for the apocalyptothon. Yeeeah.

Um.

I HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF. Oh, fuck.

LOVE MEME over at jellicle's! Pimp this mofo out, eh?

HI BEST MANIPS EVA! *squishes lostt1*

ALSO! spn_iconathon participants! Please to be getting your icons in ASAP, mmkay?

Hi.

How's it going? What 'cha doin'? What'd you have for dinner? Anything interesting happen to you today? Excited for hump day tomorrow?

Anyone want to have a little drabble off or something? I prompt you so you write something and then you prompt me and so forth? Anyone? Bueller?

I'll just put these out here and y'all can take a stab if you want:

Sam & Dean and the Harry Potter books
or
Jared & Jensen and Jared's awesome lunch

Wincest or J2 optional.

My aunt and uncle are going to watch The Departed on Pay-Per-View but they talk through movies and I might end up killing them. So I guess I'll opt out this time.

I posted a tutorial here for the icon I'm using right now. Go check it out!

Also, I got hit with overwhelming excitement for the new episode. *sits on hands and tries to make time pass faster* I can't even explain what it is that's made me so excited for it all of a sudden. Whee!

Hey, has anyone else see this Jared Padalecki interview with IfMagazine.com? I don't know what it says because I fear spoilers like nothing else [READ: There could be spoilers I have received word from the Fcukers that it IS spoilery] but as far as I can remember I haven't seen anyone post it. And it's dated today. New? COULD BE.

I might try and post icons later tonight. I have a crap load piling up so it's time to get them up, I think.

Also, seedyapartment? The plot bunny has attached itself to my leg and is currently humping me. :| Thanks.

Do you ever find something out and this something feels like a huge slap in the face but you're worried you could be overreacting about it so you don't want to say anything to cause any disturbance? Yeah, I'm there right now. I feel kind of... I wouldn't say attacked but like I'm being looked down on for something that I shouldn't be. And I hate that.

I bought diabetic chocolate covered mint patties at the drug store today. I'm sticking to my no-sugar thing for Lent like WHOA! (And no, I'm not Catholic. Just weird).
