I want a writing project!

[roxy]

So, there are two big bangs taking sign ups now, and I'm thinking about trying for one. There's a x-over bang, and I have a good idea, I think. This idea would be perfect for SpN or J2 AUs. It's crossing one of those worlds with Steven King's The Body. Actually, the movie based on the story, Stand By Me. The atmosphere lends itself perfectly well to SpN's world--it would be a piece of pie to throw a supernatural story line into that. But, there's the fun of using CW's actors in a movie x-over, and writing them as preteens. I thought about using Thomas and Mike--writing Mike should be fun. I considered bringing the time the movie was set in into the 90s, maybe or early 2000s. It would be interesting to write, and I like writing kids at that age. I have the ideas! On the other hand....

On the other hand, I thought it might be better not to get wrapped up in something until I finished my current WIP. I love that story and I want to finish that sucker something fierce! It doesn't help that at the moment, the only one talking to me is Sam, and hokey smokes he won't shut up!! On the oooooother, other hand....

On the third hand, I miss writing from Sam's POV and the new story would be that--or Jared's POV. Oh, and I'm imagining the whole beginning writer thing with Jared as the baby writer, telling the kids stories about a character he made up called Dean Winchester, named after James Dean who is the king of cool and the rifle, because, yeah, cool....gosh, this would be so much fun, at least for a couple of chapters before inevitably becoming mired in the muck that serves for my brains.

Suggestions? Questions? Candy?

Much candy, hon, as my brain is currently fried at the moment. Also, cheerleading and general pom-pomery will be forthcoming when (not if) you start writing awesome story-ness.

I looooooove the Stand By Me idea!!!!! WRITE THAT NOW!. Do. Eeeeet! XD

*headdesk*

damn it. woman, dooooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!! God I love the idea of The Body as starting point. <3

I think you can do both. :) *has faith*

*massages your brain*

I'll make a deal with myself--if I can get past the sticking point in my current story, then I'll start on this one. Also, if I can figure out how to do it--RPS or SpN.

*pokes you* whaddya think, hunh? Hunh? Hunh? Hunh?

*stares at you like you're the holy grail*

I'm torn between the J2 style and Sam/Dean style. I'd love to have an actual monster pop up--but damn, the idea of Jared telling Jensen stories about "Sam and Dean, brothers and monster killers" keeps poking me in the brain....

Most of the big bangs I'm familiar with don't have a penalty if you sign up and then have to withdraw - if you do it before art assignments are sent out. So, you can always sign up, and then see how things go. If you aren't where you want to be when it comes time to submit your summary for an artist to pick, just withdraw. That's what I've done, anyway. Because I'm at least signed up if things work well, instead of missing the deadline and then wishing I hadn't.

Just my two cents. Good luck with the decision.

how can you respond to me like I'm a sane person? remember all the horrible whining I did with the SVBB? Banging my head on my desktop and crying in the shower...I must be crazy to even contemplate signing up, sheez!

roxy..... ;)

[twinsarein.livejournal.com]

Because, after all the whining, crying and head-banging, I remember how good your SVBB was. If that's your insanity, then sign up.

Whoa! That is some icon. Is that supposed to be Lex? He looks almost Indian there - like Krishna, maybe.

[askellington.livejournal.com]

LOL! Okay, I think I'll sign up for one of them, at least. :)

It's not really Lex--I think it's Lillian Luthor, suffering the side effects of chemo. At least I think so. But it makes a pretty Lex figure. :)

Candy!

I love a Sam pov. Or a Jared pov wherein he's talking about 'Dean Winchester'.

And then...Dean is real! And Jared is in love!!
*hearts*

Um.
Anyway - yes. I signed up for the spn_j2_bigbang and am eyeing the xover one but i dunno if i've got two fics that long in me in the next six months.

Oh, really? That's great!

*FAKES BEING ALL COOL AND LAID BACK ABOUT IT*

BWAhhahhhaaha.

I just have to....you know.....get part two of the Spangel story done and then get more of my spn_j2_bigbang done and try to work on that, too....

*stares at you like you're the holy grail*

But- but, that's how I stare at *you*! No wonder we suffer such fic-hardships! We are so awesomely codependent. :) But, hey, two things:

1.) Send me anything to "beta" anytime, hon--including ideas you just want company to brainstorm or random musings. I'm always here for you

2.) That being said, could I send *you* a teensy section from That Hawk Is Dead? I can't decide whether or not to cut it. . . *stares at you like you're the holy grail*

XD

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, please miss! Send me a bitlet. :)
