Roxy, Mizz Rose

So, the month is winding down, and summer is too. I'm taking the time to finally *really* look at the spn_heatwave art pieces. I'm astounded at what's possible, and I wish I knew how to do what they do! I just plug along all dinosaury-like, paper and pencil and lots and lots of erasers. MANY erasers, lol! Still, I'm happy with what I did, so I'm looking forward to seeing what ya'll think! :D


And in other news, DOG! Stop begging for ice cubes and dropping them willy-nilly all over the house!

I'm super pissed off about that--I really enjoyed coming home from work on Wednesday and screaming, "GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS???? IT'S WINCHESTER WEDNESDAY!!!!"

I know the Fam will miss it as well...no, really. They'll miss it.

I'm very nervous about tonight, like kind of nauseously nervous. I'm worried it won't be what I want, and then I'll have to wait until October to see if they make it better. I can't stand the thought that I have to wait that long for Show to come back, period. It's going to be a long hiatus, and I won't even have the fun of tin-hatting my way across the internets like I did last time because I discovered that it's not as much fun as I thought it was. Well, I have my summer art challenge to keep me busy, right?

I'm wishing us all luck, for tonight and for the coming season. X yer fingers and hopetagod the boys will be okay. ish. ;D

I was going to post about how while it's nice that everyone is happy about s11, it kind of irritates me too, but I read that post and decided to delete it because I already complained about stuff in my last post and I thought, "roxy, do you want to gain a reputation as a crabby old bitch who only posts to complain about shit?" and I thought, again to myself, probably not. I would rather be known as the happy, carefree spirit that I am...is that laughing? Am I hearing laughing?

(busting out an old school icon for this--younger days, lol!)

Leyla. You really should delete that address. (after having shipped us something she wanted for…well, we don't keep count how many times )

From Leyla:

No, I use it for Christmas shopping, which is right around the corner.

In fairness to ~*Me*~, I placed that order at the same time as the one that was just delivered, so I only made the mistake once. In the past 3 months.

I mean, what if you took your name off of it and put me or Uncle Ed's instead? Or make a fake name like, y'know, Chris M. Prezants, or Gif T. Sforfolks


From Leyla:

I can look at that...What about Mr. Stuf Yerstockn?

From Leyla:

But. Probably not at our christmas. Then again, it is OUR Christmas...and we're weird as hell...

From Leyla:

Sir Yerstockn in the house!

I'm home again, still dazed...what a weekend! What an eye-opener!

I spent the best weekend with blackrabbit42, tifaching, and firesign10, who are incredibly kind and just absolutely amazing women! Thanks you guys, for being so good to me! Thanks for keeping me from flying to bits, lol!!

This weekend was exciting, nerve-wracking, a little overwhelming but incredible! Guys, if you get a chance to go to a con, take it! even if you're terrified, take it! It's so worth it, and trust me, the folks around you will see you through! ;D

Remember when I said I was going to do that 30 day meme? And how I promptly forgot about it? I do have an excuse. I have this lingering intestinal thing that's kind of ugly...we won't go into detail. just...ew. and ow.

I've managed to drag myself off my...bed, let's say bed...and do five questions at once because no one's got time for 30 days of me blabbling. So here it is, the first 5!

Also, fanspired --LOL!! Soooo much fun!! :D *koff*

1 – How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?

I started reading BtVS fanfic—Angel/Spike, Spike/Xander…it made me want to write my version. I loved the Show so much, and I'm sure that if it was still on, I'd still be watching. The writers in that fandom back in the day--I swear, they were all fucking brilliant! In the beginning I read in a lot of fandoms, but Buffy was the one that made me feel the need to write. What pulled me in about Buffy? It was creepy but funny, my favorite flavor. It could make you cry at the same time it didn't take itself too seriously. I think that's the way life should be lived.

2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
The only fandom I write in now is SpN, more than likely the last fandom I'll write in. :)
I've written in BtVS, Smallville, SpN, I've written RPS featuring James Dean/Sal Mineo, a one-shot Beatles…a couple of Heroes ficlets, Batman, mostly SV crossovers and two Joker fics that I liked a lot but broke my brain to write.


3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?

BtVS: Angel, Xander, Spike. SV: Lex, Clark, Whitney, Wade, SpN: Sam, Dean, kind of obviously. The Smallville characters not as obviously--two of my characters had much less screen time than the show leads. And one of them in fact, was a one-shot guest star. Who turned up years later on SpN playing a bad guy and being very satisfying. Not, not Brady. ;D



4 – Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?

Whitney. Whitney pushed his way into almost every SV story I wrote, and in most of them he was supposed to only have a small cameo. Whitney was my muse because he made me look at Clark and Lex in different ways. I really, really enjoyed writing him. I miss him a lot. I've tried to write him into my SpN fic, but I just couldn't. On the other hand, I've had Clark turn up in a couple of SpN stories—actually, Tom Welling, the actor who played Clark Kent. If you guys liked Patrick in Lodi, then you liked Tom. *GGG*


5 –If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?

Let them go! I let them do what they want. Patrick from Lodi just kicked open the door and said, "Write about me, damn it!!" So I did. Whit of course, everywhere. Original characters, (or semi-original characters, like Patrick) sometimes take over a story and most of the time, the story is better for it, as far as I'm concerned. I *love* when folks write *GOOD* OCs into their stories. I think dimeliora is the master at that. OC doesn't immediately mean Mary-Sue, you know. Heck yeah!! Point lost! Who cares!

Please send some positive thoughts Mr R's way. His dad is nearing the end now, and my beloved needs support.

These are my children. Look at these women. They are our pride and joy. They make our entire lives worth living. We point at them and say, "I fucked up in a lot places, but not here."

Our beautiful graduate. Our lovely daughters.



( These women are our future, people. )

I'm on a train! Right now! Boy, this is hot stuff for an old broad! It's like...MAAAAAH-JICK!!!

Right now I'm passing silos and little towns, so not so magic but still, cool.

I can't wait to get home and tell you all about it and to read all the BBs I actually haven't been able to read. Also to post comments on all the fic I've read on my kindle and not been able to comment on. When I settle in, there will be recs!

Bye from roxy...ON A TRAIN. (man, I wish like crazy some of you were here with me now--we'd have such fun! :D )

I'm so nervous!! I'm relatively unspoiled and I'm worried! Worried that Show is going to break my heart--also worried that they will so stupid up the season ender it will make me want to gut a man. Please don't piss me off, Show!

All in all, I've enjoyed the season. Sometimes, I didn't understand an ep until after, when it is explained to me, tank yew. I know a lot of people were hurt that Dean didn't keep the black eyes all season but you know, he sort of *was* Demon!Dean all season long. I'm not sold on how DARK Sam was supposed to have gotten. Sam just seemed normal levels of Winchester "Keepin' Secrets For Your Own Good(Not Like That's Not Going To Backfire Spectacularly On Us)." Loved that over the top concern though--way to make us forget that last season Dean was chopped liver to Sam.

Not really, no.


So, I've wandered over to the Love Meme and have left some love. I've just started though, so I'm only on page 1. So much love! :D

And speaking of love, thank you so much, you guys! I haven't responded to everyone yet, but I hope you all know just how much I appreciate your well wishes! Sam agrees with me.
