Why hello there, lj.

Long time, no see.

I am, in fact, alive. And term has begun again! I am excited because the summer was kind of desolate and boring and I need structure in my life.

And I, uh, have a request to make: I need help in finishing this thing that I've owed nightrider101 since the beginning of this year, because dammit I don't know how to go on, and what's more, my spn muse has completely run dry. So to any of you who are still avid fans and can instill me with your enthusiasm, I would appreciate anything from a cheerleader to a beta reader. It's about wings and profound bonds and also some problematic rips in reality that happen after the apocalypse-that-wasn't. I have a little over 7k written out of probably 10k total, which is way more than I was planning on doing, but apparently I'm incapable of writing anything less than weirdly convoluted plotty things or something? I think I'm going to post the first half of it very soon, with the hopes that this will pressure me into finishing the rest of it in something resembling a timely manner. But seriously, I keep staring at it, willing words to appear, but they just don't. So...yeah. Help?

On the flip side, though, I have been sucked into loving the Avengers hard core. I don't really read comics all that often, but I am totally behind the films and it's making me take Wikipedia crash courses on the the canon material like woah. Seriously, this movie has already ruined me, and it hasn't even come out yet. As a result, I am utterly lost to Steve/Tony right now. It's a disease, almost as bad as Charles/Erik, except worse because whereas Charles and Erik make me want to write them into badass adventures, Steve and Tony make me want to just read utter sap about how they made up after Civil War and got married and fought crime together. Argh. Stop it you bastards I hate you. Also my personal theme song for them is now 'Teenage Dream' because Tumblr is a terrible influence on me and I am a terrible person and it makes me laugh uncontrollably. STEVE IS TOTALLY TONY'S TEENAGE DREAM, DON'T DENY. Oh god this journal must never become connected to me in real life or I will have to change names and move to a different country again.

LOL. I cannot wait until the Avengers movie comes out. SO EXCITED OMG.

That said, I'm all for being your cheerleader if you'd want me. RL and too many fanfic projects makes me not a very good beta, but I like to think that I'm fairly good with providing random and/or helpful discussion material when someone's stuck on a fic.

So if you want, just drop me a note. Good to see you, bb. ;)

Ahh, I've been sucked into Steve/Tony too. Cannot wait for the film! I'm especially excited after watching Captain America today :D Ahhhhhh it's going to be fantastic.

I have two hands up to offer to be a cheerleader/beta/whatever you need, if you still need someone!

Constantine icon ftw. :))))

And good luck on the writing, boy do I know how that feels.

If you've been poking tumblr for Avengers and XMFC, have you stumbled on Gyzym (lj & tumblr) or postcardmystery (lj)/oh-you-better-run (tumblr) yet?

I will rabidly jump up and down recommending Gyzym's in-progress XMFC fic Carpe Brewski, and completed Avengers fic Ready, Aim, Fire, or just about everything by Postcard.

Avengers has ruined me, too, don't worry. I didn't even read the comics much before I started flipping out over the upcoming movie, but then I bought the Ultimates and Avengers Prime (which is basically Steve, Tony, and Thor battling monsters and becoming boyfriends best friends again) and now I'm sucked into the Marvel U and all of the fic and goodness that contains.

Oy.

And even though I'm pretty busy with real life at the moment, I can totally toss ideas back and forth with you for that Supernatural fic, if you want! I know it stinks just staring at an empty screen, so I'm happy to help. :)
