shit kenzi says

As you can all probably tell, I can post from work I just can't do a lot of other things like read my f-list. You win some, you lose some.

So, I put up a meme things last week where I offered to answer three questions about my stories. Both hiyacynth and dodger_sister asked for more about my Ron stories All Stories End and Burn My Sins Away. So here are three bits of background/head canon and one deleted scene.

So, like I said, it's the Baylor Sister's birthday today. So I wrote her a story. It's, well, before posting I feel like I have to explain how this idea popped into my head.

You see, the Baylor Sister loves Jon and Kate Plus Eight. She really loves it. She loves it in the way that I love SPN. So even though I don't regularly watch the show or anything I do pay attention to what the magazine covers at the grocery check-out say. And then last week, while I was half-watching baylorsr play Knights of the Old Republic and half-dozing on their couch, this story idea popped into my head. Trust me, it's just the sort of crack that is right up the Baylor Sister's alley.

Happy Birthday, hon. I hope you're proud of the things you make me do. ;-)

Title: Damned If You Do
Fandom: Jon and Kate Plus Eight/Supernatural crossover
Disclaimer: I don’t own the rights to Supernatural, those are benevolently dictated by Eric Kripke and Warner Brothers. And I definitely don’t have any say about what goes on in the lives of the members of the Gosselin family. This if fiction and I trust it will be viewed accordingly.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: When you think it can’t get any worse it probably will.

( He didn’t need grief from Kate about getting plastered, or from half of America, for that matter. )

Hey all. Am running around from city to city, picking people up before heading to the memorial. However, had to utilize some free wifi to ask a question.

Does anyone know of good places to advertise something like the Crossover Challenge? The fic communities of which I'm a member appear to disallow announcements like that. It's times like this that remind me that being one step above a lurker isn't always the most effective position in the interwebs.

Thanks, you guys. Any and all suggestions and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would owe you big time, and it's always good to have a couple favors that can be called in. *wink wink*

I have come to a conclusion regarding the crossover challenge. I'll start with a SPN challenge (details and prompt request should be up in a day or so) and then sometime later, probably this summer, I'll extend it to a multifandom event. After all, one of the reasons I wanted to do something like this in the first place was because, while I've always loved the Multiverse fic exchange I've also found it to be a little constrictive. Because, apparently, I'm so greedy that having all of the space-based fandoms to choose from just isn't enough. So while my heart longs for a multifandom event I do think its better to start small and branch out if/when I can.

Course, the fact that I had the inspiration to do this just when everyone is signing up for bigbang and Sweet Charity could very well mean that I'm shooting myself in the foot. It's all good though, there's enough room in fandom for a multiplicity of challenges.

Anyway, the comm is all set up. It's called xovers_ftw because they really, really are.

Heh. Maybe next I'll organize an AU challenge. I do love me a good AU.

Have nearly 800 words written on the Jo fic I mentioned yesterday. That's pretty exceptional progress, for me. Except, I'm fairly certain that large chunks of it will have to be rewritten. Still too much plot, not enough character introspection. Though, thank goodnes Jo doesn't do emo. Sometimes it's really good to not be a Winchester.

I feel like I should have more to talk about, but I really don't. I spent most of today knitting an afghan and watching TV. The Nova episode on the race for absolute zero was most interesting.

Man, am I ever in a weird-ass mood today. It's jumped all over the place. On one end of the spectrum was the giddiness inspired by an awesomely cracked phone call from hiyacynth and on the other end is this bizarre rage/depression thing that has me metaphorically crying into my cornflakes one minute and wanting to punch people the next. Not any specific people, just, you know, people in general. I see Summer Roberts isn't the only person in the world with rage issues.

Last night I started typing up a post about language and being a single woman and a feminist and a mormon that just got bogged down in its own wordiness. Also, since I try not to be the kind of person who's bogged down by my own emo I decided it wasn't the right time to make that post. Cause let me tell you, folks, my emo is boring and I really don't have much patience for it.

Yes, because making a post about an emo post isn't self-indulgent at all. *rolls eyes at self*

And now I'm trying to think of entertaining/cracky things because those are the sorts of things I love the best but all that comes to mind are the writers' strike and the New Hampshire primaries. WTF? Where has all the crack gone? Obviously, my brain totally fails today.

You know what I'm waiting for? The one great Doctor Who/SPN crossover. Or a Torchwood/SPN crossover, cause after all the time I spent comparing John Barrowman to Jensen Ackles during the angst scenes in the first series it's about time that Jack and Dean met up for real. Not that I'm the person to write any of these because I have no clue what would happen but it'd be pretty awesome.

Course, I'm the girl who thinks that everything should be crossed over with everything else. I'm sure I've told the story about how I started reading LotR fanfic because of a Buffy/LotR crossover. It's really not very surprising that so many of my latest stories are crossovers. All of my favorite characters should get to interact with each other all of the time, there should be a law or something.

Okay, I'm gonna go and try to be productive rather than, well, whatever else I've been. And listen to some music. Music makes everything even more fantastic.

Phew, made it in just under the wire for Sam's birthday. It's good to have demanding friends who tell you to stop being lazy. =D

Title: Let Him Do What Seemeth Him Good
Fandom: Supernatural with a slight X-Files crossover
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing. It’s all Kripke’s and the CW’s and blah, blah, blah. We all know who the real braintrust is around here.
Rating: PG-13 at very worst
Spoilers: General for the series. Takes place in between ‘Crossroad Blues’ and ‘Croatoan’.
Summary: Sam hears whispers of a faith healer in rural Alabama.

( Something was stealing children from their beds and leaving them buried in the soft river mud and he was prepared to say whatever it took to uncover the secrets that this town, like all the others he’d ever lived in, held close to its chest )

Am in the process of writing up my recap of road-trip and camping with the family. In the meantime, seeing as the authors have been unveiled over at Multiverse 2006, here is my story. It's a Firefly/BSG crossover featuring two characters who are wicked fun to play with. Read and enjoy.
