My friend scoob2222 is hosting a summer drabble-a-thon here. She's accepting prompts now! Go! :P

So there's a fairly new Jericho fanfic site that I've been visiting. It's sort of exclusive, as far as what they'll accept. Sorta the best of the best type thing. And the stories archived there really are good. Like, really good.

But it makes me feel self-conscious. Because frankly, I don't think my fics measure up. Sigh.

Stupid insecurity.

Fic: If Lois Could See Her Now (1/1)
Authors: Xtremeroswellian and Did_It_Once
Rated: PG-13
Wordcount: 766
Spoilers: None.
Author's Note: Just a short, kinda funny fluff piece we wrote like...a year ago...

( Dean Winchester and Christopher Columbus. )

So is anyone else who's planning to do Nanowrimo this year not have a fracking clue what they're going to write? Haha, I have several vague, unrelated plot ideas...but nothing I could go on about for 50,000 words, I don't think.

And if you are doing Nanowrimo, please join: wrimo_support, run by robynadele0406 and me! :)

I've begun reading Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. I'm not reading it straight through. I'm jumping around--each chapter is written to stand alone. Today I read the chapter "Engendering Compassion."

In this, Goldberg talks about writing through your fear. One of her biggest fears is loneliness.

I sit here, still sick (with an upper resp. infection--again), wondering what my biggest fears are in life. Off the top of my head I can't actually name any. I'll have to meditate on this one for awhile.

In the meantime--what are your greatest fears? What one small thing can you do to begin facing them?

Fic: Worth the Wait (1/1)
Fandom: Jericho
Pairing: Heather/Jake

( Worth the Wait. )

Title: Never Meant To…
Authors: X_tremeroswellian and Shadow_One

Author's Note II: *facepalm* I cannot believe I forgot to finish posting this fic. I suck.

Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part Six |

( Seven, eight and the conclusion. )

First off, katelennon, I promise I haven't forgotten about the fic I owe you. :P In fact, as soon as I'm done with this entry I'm using the rest of my lunch break to work on it some more. :P With any luck it will be done by tomorrow or Wednesday.

Other news, my Sims 2 game...

Is glitching. Weirdly. I have caps most of it (though right now I'm at work and can't post them--for amusement's sake I'll post them later.:P)

A. Jake has developed a bright blue glow around his entire body. It won't go away. I made him shower, eat, sleep, still glowy. I saved and exited the house and returned, still glowy. Grr. He isn't, however, glowing when he goes to other people's houses. So I may have to move them out of the house and then back in to make it stop. *sigh*

B. Anya's box of cereal was floating mid-air. Stayed that way until I made Willow finish pouring cereal for everyone in the house. But still. Weird.

C. The most disturbing of all--Bart and A.C. somehow got STUCK in the FLOOR. Not on stairs. Just in the floor. Half their bodies were under the floorboards. Wtf? I moved them out of the house, knocked it down and rebuilt and they're fine. Still. Weird.

And finally:

Thinking of you shansgrl. *big hugs*
