-- My spn_j2_bigbang story is all edited and tucked away until posting day. So, yay, one less thing to worry about! \o/

-- I've spent most of today working on Heroine Addiction. I've gotten five chapters out of twenty-five edited so far. The good thing is that out of the nine days I've given myself to finish this thing and get it done, four of them are days off. The good thing is that only three or four chapters really need major work, so what I'm hoping for is to get six or seven more chapters edited tonight and tomorrow so I'm close to halfway done.

-- My only problem is that I'm kind of itching to outline The Grand Prize Winner and start hacking away at the excess. I have a hard copy of it printed out and it's HUGE. I have to throw away thirty thousand words, and it shows.

-- I still haven't gotten a chance to work on either my vampirebigbang or my werewolfbigbang stories. Right now, Heroine Addiction has top priority, and I sort of want to wait for both shows to end first so I have a better idea of what to work with.

-- I have this short list of finale fic ideas I'm hoping to write sometime. I wonder what it says about me that of the finale fic ideas I've had, a large chunk of them are Lisa-centric. Possibly that when the boys decide they're going to chuck it all and pretend to be normal, I love that they hook up with women I feel could kick some ass if they turned to hunting. And hey, unlike Jess, Lisa knows who Dean is. (Well, maybe not everything, but ... you know, the hunting and all.)

Plus ... I don't know, I'm finding out I'm not a big fan of the angle where Dean turns into a depressed alcoholic and Lisa cries in the laundry room over a basket of freshly-washed underwear and then Sam shows up all broken and woobie-faced asking for Dean-hugs and knocks Lisa out of the story with his big pointy possessed elbows. Maybe it'll work for me if it happens in canon, but it's turning me off in fic.

Congrats on the Big Bang fic. I just finished off my rewrites tonight and sent it off to the betas, so I'm having a bit of a celebration of my own. :)

Isn't it the best feeling? I haven't finished one since the first year it was held and I almost didn't finish this year. I literally wrote the whole damn thing in the last ten days. I was so happy to get feedback from my beta, because I hadn't let anybody else read it and I was, "Oh, God, what if it sucks?!" :)
