In case you missed it, there was a mad frenzy of claiming for spn_j2_bigbang and I was lucky enough to grab TWO fics by two fabulous fabulous people. OMG SO EXCITED. I have ideas, people. BIG IDEAS.

and what I'm really excited about is this is the first real spark of creativity I've had in what seems like forever. I actually started sketching some ideas out - although I'd really like to wait until I see the drafts before solidifying anything AHEM AHEM - so there's that.

I've also started reading fic again, hoping that jumpstarts something. I started with going through the j2_everafter stories, and oh man, I have to rec this one: Put That Thing Back Where It Came From (or so help me) by vorpalblades. It's based off Monsters, Inc., which, yes, gave me pause, too, but trust me, it's fantastic. FANTASTIC.

What else did you claim besides that lame one with the cowboys? *g*

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

Some lame one about Jared being a merman. I mostly just felt sorry for both authors, that's why I took them. ;D

[benitle.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. Lameness all around! \o/ You're such a good soul for taking pity on those authors.

(WHOOHOOO! for inspiration though! :D)

oooh, I'll check that rec out, thanks! Also, the one based on WallE is PHENOMENAL. I was rereading it last night.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I've heard that about the Wall-E one! but I'm avoiding all robot!J2 fics until I figure out what I'm doing with mine. SIGH SIGH.

that Monsters Inc. fic might be one of the most original adaptions ever!!!

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

Wasn't it!? I really love it when people write fics inspired by movies and such rather than re-telling it. and that one was just too adorable and fun.

\o/ I am so happy for that! And not just because of what might seem the obvious reason.

There are things written. JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU NEED.

Charlie is especially excited about doing art for you. Lola is a little more unsure. She does not see the appeal in bullriding.

Send me the rough draft!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Tell Lola I believe in her! She'll come around. Bullriding is totes awesome.

OK.

I am so happy you're feeling inspired again!

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

It is a good feeling! Let's hope work doesn't suck it out of me.

HELLO HELLO HELLO!!! RL has been all pthbbbbbt, but I'm making a concerted effort to pay more attention to fandom because it really is a happy place for me. :D

[karabou.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! :D

I love the J2 Everafter challenge! I haven't read that one yet, so thanks for the rec. A couple that I have loved so far have been the Tuck Everlasting one, the one based on The Adventurers, and the ice skating one. Must read moar.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

ooh, I have the Tuck Everlasting one bookmarked to be read! Haven't read the Adventurers one because, um. I was only reading the porny ones. XD
