yakky time!

Help me oh three or four friends who read SpN fic and in particular, my SpN fic, and narrowing that down even more, comment on the damn things--tell me what I should work on?



1) a J2 AU set in the mid-fifties. Say, how much research do I have to do on city life back then? And can I fuzzy the city? Like, pretendlike it's New York or whatever and "just go along with me on this, guys". Can I do that? I long for black turtle necks and too tight striped polo shirts. Also, there would be a lot of na-na in this story.

2)The Public Enemy one--kind of a cross of Boondock Saints, only no divine mission and a whole lot of psychotic killers and general misbehaving with Warner Bros gangster movies and psycho killers--did I mention that? A little na-na in this one.

3)1) the vaguely western-cowboy-backstory on the Colt fic I've talked about for what, two years? In this story the guys aren't raised together and don't know they're brothers (yeah, cause that makes teh naughty stuff better. Almost totally na-na free, this one.

4) a weird kind of folktale, Manly Wade Wellman x-over but I want [livejournal.com profile] danceswithgary to steer me in the right direction with that one. Wincest with no sex. I know, I know, but not everything needs sticky bits. Ha! I know right???

I've got actual info for Not!Cowboy, vague memories and feelings and a couple of pretty pictures for Beat!J2, and nothing but a lot of love and some of the same info I used for East of The Sun for CrazyInLoveBoys.

I need to be poked and prodded into doing something. I have all these sorta done stories floating around, and I do have a bit more I'd like to do on that Dean/Cas story only trying to write het sex is screwing me up. (Odd, how hard it is to write, considering how much I love it.) RL is sucking the juice out of my brain but I miss being in a nice long story with lots of research and having fun with it.

Help a nice old lady out?

I vote for the '50s J2 AU cause it sounds totally different and fun and you do a great job with atmosphere in your fics, so I think you'd knock it out of the park.

*flails about*

OMG I WANT THEM ALL.
*cough*

No, really. How in freakin' hell am i supposed to *choooooooose*??? Gods, you are evol. EVOL, i say.

I don't know who Wade Wllman is. Um. I love the idea of Beat!j2. Psycho boys is also damn fun, so long as you don't make them all into torturing 24/7. I don't wanna read that.
*yes, all about meeeeeeeeeeee*

:)
*twirls you*

I second the Beat J2 AU because I too have a hankering for some black turtle necks, too tight striped polo shirts, *also* too tight straight leg pants and everybody smoking like a chimney.

*sigh*

*pokes you with blunted stick*

See? I'm nice about it kinda. . . *wink*

Honestly, though, those all sound extremely interesting and I think I can safely say that those of us who do read your SpN fic (and I bet there are more of us than you think, hon) will gladly read *any* of those stories. And I mean *gladly* gladly.

Hee!

not everything needs sticky bits

Ok... who are you and what have you done with Roxy?

If I were to number them 1-4, then my choices align with your order exactly. I'm starting to read more SpN and J2, but it's slow going. What I usually wind up doing is see a story on my flist and I say, "Oooo, that looks good. I'll copy and paste it into a Word doc so I can read it soon. Yeah, right. That file has done nothing but grow. No shrinkage at all.

You can have a fic without sticky bits?! Are you sure? You might want to check your information. I think you are mistaken or misguided. Either way, the belief needs to be corrected, now.

My lesson of the summer has been "Don't write the story that doesn't want to be written" so my question is Which story speaks to you the most?

3!

Oh, and a write-in... more from the Lodi!verse :)

I vote Beat poet J2 and psycho killers. After Dean and Cas. Do you know what I wish I was writing, but am totally never going to write? A Mists of Avalon kinda AU where Dean is Morgaine and Sam is Arthur.

If you hide my name behind an SPN cut, I'll likely miss your poking, silly.

My vote would obviously be the Manly Wade Wellman. I'd even consider a co-write, if you're interested. I have something of an outline on the bunny I had a while back and with a little research (like finishing re-reading the Silver John books) I could help with the characterization and such.
