It's an excellent expression. I'll give it that. Those shoulders couldn't be his, though.

And the DA crossover is done.

Finished aesc's AU. It was really good. The chemistry felt a bit awkward in places, but the worldbuilding was so great it sort of washed over me. And the coda was very touching.

Juliebird, I know the rageprufrock story you're disgruntled with; I never liked the ending to it either. astolat wrote a sequel that holds together much better, but it doesn't sound as though you read anything that lies anywhere along the wincest scale so I don't think you'd be interested.

So, say I wanted to mine someone's, say, ita's, delicious tags for SPN fic. How would I go about doing that?

My delicious account is the same name as my LJ user account.

So it can be reached at www.delicious.com/[LJname]/fic+spn.

Everything should be tagged by rating, pairing, genre, author, etc.

Awesome, thank you.

Glad to help, JenP. I try to keep it up to date, although I have been having to read Inception for my sister (rough life!) recently, so the acquisition of SPN is a wee bit slower.

DCBB schedule is out. Posting starts October 1st. Huh. We get a day with ibroketuesday, ru_salki99, and haruslex. And there will be trinityofone! And architeuthis posts on the last day, the 29th. ::grumble::

I'm finally reading Below skyscrapers (for a dropout). Aesc certainly went whole hog on the AU worldbuilding here. Very interesting stuff.

Not sure why it's taken me this long to read it.

I could be nice and say because you have a life, but I'll be petty and say it's because you just don't listen to me.

I got a suprise!Sabriel fic.

If Sam/Cas is Sassie, I want Gabe/Sam to be Gassie. I know it doesn't make sense. Just roll with the fart jokes, okay?

I won a vid from Ash48 for help_pakistan. I'm very excited. I can't wait. A month.

::is jealous:: Also, poor. Not for the charity thing, but the winning of awesome vidder skills. Do you get to give input into the vid?

I'm assuming this is a manip, because, hello?

You liked! I'll have to read the main fic back to back with the time stamp, but the coda felt like it had really left the unique world building behind and fell back onto standard Dean/Cas tropes that don't fit what I remember of the tone of the main fic. Otherwise, it was sweet.

I wonder if the posting dates were done via blind lottery, because archie being last is just cruel: to save my fave for last, and wonderful: because my fave gets more time. Holy crap, three 20+k fics a day? I think I'm going to either have to quit my job or lose a lot of sleep. Possibly both. So I'll have to turn tricks to keep the electricity and the cable on. Johns won't mind if I'm reading on my iPhone while I'm working, will they?

It's definitely not the life thing. That makes no sense.

I think we can go one better to Gassy.

God, outside of crack and AUs, I hate that pairing. Both pairings.

Do you get to give input into the vid?

I gave her two songs and the basic ideas I saw with them, and she seemed quite amenable. I mean, considering I'm suggesting Shaggy or Kool Moe Dee. She's said I can give her more input, but please? She's Ash48. Beyond "cracky" or "kickass" what do I have to say?

Holy crap, three 20+k fics a day?

I know! From the summaries, I'll not be skipping at least trying more than three or four (I think that was the RPF count), so that's a lot of reading. The main bang was relatively sparse comparatively.

At least you can read fic at work! I hope they'll start posting early Eastern time so I can get a heads up then.

Okay, I have a hankering for that spn vid with the screaming and the gore, and I can't find it in any of my bookmarks or memories, and don't recall the vidder or the song to even do a search. Anyone got a link?

I don't think I'll be able to make that fly with the size of the fics. I didn't even try to fit in the mini-bangs at work.
