Big Bang

I've always want to write a Big Bang. I came close to signing up to spn_J2 big bang a couple of times but I've never had a plot bunny that would produce a 20k fic nor the confidence in my writing ability. Then I saw the post for this:



I really want to sign up. It opens February 1st so I should have plenty of time do decide which of the two plot bunnies I'm nurturing can make a 30,000 word fic. I think both of them could reach 30k so it'll be a tough decision.

Overcoming my insecurities about my writing might be a different matter. I'm normally fine with posting my fic because none of them are too long. I've not invested a huge chunk of time in it, I've just written to amuse myself and if others enjoy it then that's great. But for a fic that is going to dominate about 6 months of my writing time? That's a lot of investment for people not to like. I know it shouldn't matter and feedback is not why I want to do this but there's a little voice whispering what if nobody likes it?.

Can anyone tell me how to shut that voice up?

My Fiction

So, I think I may have enough fic to justify one of these. I'm not sure anyone will be interested enough to browse it; I'm still very much a novice writer. At the very least it will be useful to me.

If you are interested, here's a list of my fic posted to date (18/03/09).

ETA: I'm going to rearrange this when I get the time. I'm not happy with the current layout which is just a list that's more or less chronological.

Two Drabbles

pinkphoenix1985 prompted me with the words: water, cream, and sleep. My first thought was humour, the second angst. I wrote both. I hope you enjoy them pinkphoenix1985! Also, my internet has been fritzing out today so if I'm slow to reply it's because I'm waiting for it to come back.

Reviews are much appreciated even for little drabbles, they make me happy and spur on the muse. :)

If you would also like to prompt me then go here. One more person is guaranteed a drabble, after that you're at the mercy of my fickle muse.

Prompt Me!

I've gotten a respectable number of words of my dissertation done today and now that I feel like I have the time to breathe I want to write. But the muse seems to have packed up and left, or is drowning under all the Winchester angst. All I know is that she hasn't been seen for a while.

I have a Dark Angel fic that is a handful of scenes close to finishing and some more of Safe Haven to write not to mention quite a number of one shots that are in various states of finish. The inspiration to write just isn't quite there, it's like it's too much effort. Like running 5 miles when you haven't even gone for a jog in months.

However, in the past I've found that writing drabbles helps. They don't have to be amazing epics or incredibly complex they're just 100 words of creativity. So with that in mind...

Prompt Me!

Please prompt me 3 words or a phrase. Anything goes (so if you're not up to date on episodes either don't read the comments or send me prompts in a PM) except for the genres I don't write (Wincest and RPS). First 3 people to prompt are guaranteed a drabble, everyone else depends on the fickle nature of my muse and what you bribe me with. ;)

Have at it!
