This month is nearly over! Where has it gone? May is right on the corner and all the things I was going to do are like smoke.

I did see Jensen live and in the flesh. That was a thrill! I swore this was going to be my last con, but maybe I might have one more in me, lol! It was nice to see I wasn't the oldest person there. Real life fandom is so forgiving, as opposed to Twitter fandom. The children of the bird all seem to think you should crawl off and die when you hit 25. Ha! Little do they know without these "oldsters", all stories would be aimless PWPs, and all art would feature woobified versions of the characters they claim to love.

Okay, no, that's not true, but sometimes I feel like it is.

So, how about these pirates in love? Is there going to be a major shift towards them, or a temporary one? What do we call it when a show drops, takes over the world and then quietly fizzles? Flash fandom? I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with these interesting fellows, but I'm still not motivated by anyone except Sam and Dean. We'll see! :D

I'm in a chatty mood today. I hope I can translate that into being chatty on my wip.

Ooh, you went to a con? Awesome, bb! :D
Snow and I were considering doing one that's actually going to be in Kansas City in September (they never come there!!), but we wouldn't see anybody, just hang out a bit and tour around the merch and such. We'll see.

I don't do fandom on Twitter at all, except for the occasional post you make, heh. I'm there mostly for news and politics and space stuff. Still stuck firmly into LJ/DW/AO3.

Omg, my entire AO3...sphere, I guess, is so gung ho on pirates in love right now!! Which is great, and I saw the kiss episode, and it looks like fun in a way, but.... Eh. :D I guess we'll see how long it lasts/how badly the show runners fuck up.

Good luck writing! *smishes* Hope you and yours are doing well.
*luffs hard*

I tell you, if you're going to SpN creation con, go for the guests. Otherwise, it's boring. Not like comic con at all!

I just killed my twitter account--I'm sick of all the stupid takes and the cruelty masquerading as social consciousness. I'm going to keep my ass right here, with occasional forays into facebook and keep @ roxy_roxy04, where I follow news slanted towards my preference and art. :D

It's fun, and I can't see them screwing up, but it's the same flavor as Good Omens--everywhere, and then, nowhere. :)

Much love!

Ah ha ha. Well, thing is, neither Snow nor I are particularly into the whole guest thing. Who knows! But I don't actually want to *meet* them.....

Ah, that sucks, bb - i'm sorry your niche of Twitter got crappy. Seems to be happening too much.

Hi!! Nice to hear from you, and glad you got to hit a con. I always think my con days are over, and maybe they are, but it would be so fun to go to one and meet some LJ peeps... sometimes I hold out hope for that. I typically find a lot of older people in SPN fandom; I don't think of it as a young fandom at all! As for Twitter *waves hand irritably* they can get off my lawn. :-P

What is this Pirates in Love you speak of? Sounds intriguing, but after a quick Google search I am none the wiser...

[roxy]

That is the fun part, meeting LJ folk!

I think for the most part, spn is gently aging, except for the weird pack of teens who thought that show was talking to them through lamps and color swatches and couldn't seem to grasp that shipping was just for grins, not a manifesto.

Twitter and I are on an extended break. Just too negative. I hate reading and grinding my teeth. I decided that I'm really not into torturing myself by biting my lip and all day long! ;D

Ah, let me link you to pirates! It was fun, but not as beautiful relationship wise as SpN. Stede is kind of adorable, I must say.

[septembers_coda]

Lamps and color swatches... LOL.

I can't get the link to work for me...

[roxy]

Ach! So sorry! I just saw this! I think I must have forgotten to include the link, so no fancy business, here it is, in case you haven't looked it up by now. :)

I'm so glad you had a good time. What envy (the good kind), to be able to go to one con and meet our boys! Awwww. I would love to, but unless they do something on this side of the Atlantic or I win the lottery, it will be difficult to me.

Not a huge fan of the bird, here. Too much drama for the hell of it. I don't have time or energy for kindergarten fights, haters, and poisonous species unless they are endangered and inhabit tropical rainforests. And there's life over the forties and beyond! An interesting one. Besides, I like best what happens at Ao3, LJ, and now here (it looks like everybody moved).

Pirates in love? I'm puzzled...

[roxy]

I managed it by only buying a ticket for one day, and I'd hoped to see Jared and Jensen in that day, but sadly, Jared cancelled because of the accident. It ended up being Misha and Jensen and though I know it's frowned upon to say this, it was actually rather nice. There was some drama over what was said, but I can only recall thinking "This is funny, they're goofs and they're going to get in so much trouble."

I gave up twitter tonight because it was getting so depressing. If it's not fun and happy making, why engage? Now I'll have time to finish my wips and read guilt-free! :D

Here's the link for the pirate show! It's really cute, in a weird kind of way. It's a very good cast!

Our Flag Means Death Youtube might have clips?

[enteselene]

Yeah, the car accident was scary, thank goodness Jared is fine.

I'm not a big fan of Misha, but I don't wish harm to him either. Sure it was fun to see them goofing around :)

And if you kicked twitter for real to feel happier and get more time to read and write... well it's great news for all of us who love your stories wholeheartedly ♥

Thanks for the link, I'll try to find something on Amazon or YouTube

Hugs

Oooo a con! Always meant to go and never quite got around to it. As for those pirates. I havent gotten brave enough to try it. I'll probably cry if it sucks. I am rewatching SPN again rn anyway so....

[roxy]

A con is godawful expensive, but it can really be fun!

Oh, the pirates were fun, much, much more fun than I expected them to be. I'm fond of the leads already. Not SpN fond, but that's not likely to ever happen for me again. :)

[jesseofthenorth]

Yes cons are expensive and I am a cheap_ass which is the real reason i have never gone. LOL Alas i doubt i'll ever fall in love with another show the way i did with SPN>
