'The Hot Potato Job' Episode Reaction
Jul. 26th, 2011 03:57 pmOkay, so now that lj seems to be working for me I'll post this.

*waves*
Hey everyone. How are you all doing today? Good, I hope.
I kind of just realised that I haven't done any revision today so guess what I'm doing tonight! I got totally distracted trying to code my big bang. Guys, I think that the thing I hate most in the world is HTML. I just can't use it. I spent the whole afternoon trying to but in the end I've had to cheat and use rich text a bit too because I just couldn't do it :/ I think it still looks okay and I've managed to include the wonderful art by tinkabell007 so hopefully everything will be okay.
I'm feeling kind of nervous about posting now. There's going to be a lot of people reading these fics, you know? And this is the first time I've taken part so I'm just hoping people will like it.
Keeping with the writing theme, I wrote a oneshot yesterday so I'm wondering whether anyone would beta it for me. It's a Sam/Dean fic, about 2.5k and there isn't a great deal of hurry to get it back to me straight away or anything.
I'm back in school for a couple of hours for revision sessions tomorrow but I'm still off for most of the day so I'm going to really try and work hard during the day and then I can have the night off again. Honestly, though, I feel like I know this exam already and that I don't need to do much revision. And then that makes me feel awful because it sounds like I'm being arrogant - I just honestly feel confident with the material and I feel like I've worked hard all year with this subject and now I haven't got much left to do.
I think I penciled in an afternoon off on my revision timetable for Friday so I'll finally be able to catch up on BB fics and all the other fics people on my flist have posted. I hate not being able to keep up with everything at the moment!

May. 25th, 2011 03:52 pm- Happy Birthday
mysticwaters ! I hope you have a really awesome, brilliant, fun-filled day. *hugs*
- I'm still looking for someone to beta that Sam/Dean fic :)
- I have a thing at the university tomorrow - going to meet up with someone I've been talking to online who is doing a similar course to me. Hopefully it'll be a good chance to meet some people so that I have friends at the summer school in July.
- I wrote loads yesterday. I did lots of revision today. I figure that balances it out :)
Enablers are awesome
May. 24th, 2011 04:04 pm
Hey XD
How are you all? I hope you've all had a good day. I'm going to do another bullet post today :)
- My revision still seems to be going okay. I did some this morning before school and I'm going to do some more tonight after we've eaten. I did realise, though, that I only have seventeen days until the history exam which is kind of scary!
- Is there anyone who's willing to beta a Sam/Dean fic for me? It's 1,300 words and, although it's set post-6.22, it only has very vague spoilers for some stuff that happened earlier in the season. I'd like someone who can look at content as well as grammar stuff for this one, please :)
lightthesparks is a massive enabler who is totally bribing me to write two fics - one shortish, one much longer - by promising me art :) Not that I'm complaining because the plot ideas are awesome. I wrote
about 2kabout 3k now of the longer fic today so I'm happy with how that's progressing.- I have more of idea about what I'm writing for
thebigbangjob now - I know it's early in the game but does anyone know if they'll be able to beta it for me? Or does anyone fancy talking plot ideas and we can cheerlead for each other :) And I'll totally repay the beta-reading favour/write fic in return.
- I got rained on a lot walking home and then the second I walked in the house the sun came out and it stopped. So me = soaked and angry at the weather :) But, you know, new philosophy and all that. If it was meant to be, it was meant to be and I'm just going to keep smiling!
- Oh, one last thing - do any of you on here watch Home and Away? I promise you that there's a reason for this question :)
Hey everyone :D
How are you all today? I hope the weather where all of you are is as nice as it is here today. (Except that I just looked out of the window and there are black clouds in the sky - it's going to pour down again!)
So, the big bang reveals have been posted and I'm pleased to tell you that the artist I'm working with is tinkabell007 . I'm looking forward to getting to know her and to seeing the art :)
I managed to get roped into helping with our leavers yearbook today. I was asked to help in such a flattering way (seeing as you're a good writer....you've got time on your hand's because you're a good student) that I couldn't really say no. I don't know, I kind of wanted to help out anyway but I had decided not to because, actually, I don't really have time on my hands with revision and writing and doing my leadership qualification. Still, it might be fun. I just need to try and remember things that happened in Year 8 now so that I can write about them.
Eeek, and it just thundered.
My revision officially started today and I got a bit done - have more pencilled in to do later tonight. During my breaks, I've been working more on the J2 guitar fic - it's almost done now so is anyone willing to beta it for me? It's going to be NC-17, at least 4k but probably no longer than 5k and there are two sex scenes.
I'm almost at the end of 'The Fellowship of the Ring', as in, I have two chapters left to read. I'm still enjoying it, looking forward to reading the next one.
First Day Back
May. 3rd, 2011 09:44 amI don't need to be in until 1 today so I've been doing some more writing this morning. I finally seem to be back in the right frame of mind to write which is good. Speaking of which, is anyone willing to beta a Sam/Dean fic for me? It's an attempt at a humour fic, between 1500 and 2000 words.

Hey guys :)
So, my big bang is still going quite well - I'm now finding it much easier to find the time to write and to actually get the writing done (although, yeah, I'm supposed to be doing my coursework as I write this post!) Anyway, I'm not ready for it beta-read yet but I want to kind of get a feel for who might be willing to beta for me. Ideally, I'd love it if I could get two betas for this one because, you know, it's my first 20k big bang and it's also my first J2 longfic.
Some things you should know about the fic:
-It's a J2AU involving books
-I don't think it's going to be much over the 20k so, in big bang terms, there isn't lots and lots to beta.
I don't really want to give too much else away but obviously I can give you more details if you think you can help :) I'm hoping to have it written by the end of March.
TIA XD

Dec. 28th, 2010 02:34 pmTIA XD
ETA: I've finished the fic now - it's just under 4000 words and I really would appreciate any help offered XD
Beta anyone?
Nov. 14th, 2010 03:51 pmI have to say, I should use writing as therapy more often because this flowed really well :)
Thanks in advance!!!!!!! *huggles* (And I'll throw a shirtless!Sam into the mix, as well.)
Derbyshire Part 3
Oct. 28th, 2010 05:41 pmOkay, so I'm having a lovely holiday but it's continuing to be quite stressful! The car started to shudder again yesterday. We managed to get it back to the cottage and then my Mum called the AA and they came out to have a look at it. They couldn't do anything until this morning so we just walked down to the local pub and had a gorgeous meal. Then, this morning, my Mum had to go in the AA van while they towed the car to a nearby town to get it fixed!! To top it all off, the dog that we're away with had a bit of a snap at Kizzie and then a local farm dog came running out as we walked along the path and started snapping at her!!!
On a more positive note, we went to a great village called Castleton yesterday and I got some earrings and stuff (photos to come.) Can't believe that we've only got one full day left!
I've been doing some writing today - I'm almost at the 15k limit for the
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
I'm looking for two betas and I would really like someone who will look at the story in a lot of detail - characters, plot, spelling, grammar, Americanisms/Britishisms and preferably write notes throughout the story and talk about it with me. I know, I'm asking for quite a lot!!! Anyone still up for it or have I scared you all away with that?!

So it’s Monday again but I don’t have to go in for my first class until 1. I’m going to go in a bit earlier so that my friend isn’t alone for lunch. And then Kizzie’s going to the vets for some injections at 4. It really doesn’t feel as though I’ve only been back at school for three days. I really need to work hard this year though.
The thing is, I did work hard last year – harder than a lot of people who did better than me which is really frustrating. I’m doing three re-sits in January as well as my A2 English Lit exam. If I do well in the Lit then that will really help reduce my workload for the summer. The English department have decided to put my paper in for a remark as well so I really hope that my marks go up. And I really, really hope that my marks don’t go down.
My writing’s coming on quite well; I’ve got more than 4k of my loveyoulikesin story written now. The idea had changed a little bit but it’s still a S5 AU. Is anyone interested in beta-reading it for me? I’d really love someone who is able to do a really thorough beta looking at characterisation, plot, spelling and grammar. And someone who can pick out British/American word differences would be good as well. (I know, I’m asking for a lot. I just really want this fic to be good. I’m really invested in this one now.)
I’m really looking forward to season six of Supernatural now – I miss my weekly fix! And I’m missing new Leverage episodes too.

Sep. 9th, 2010 09:04 pmToday wasn't too bad with all the English so I'm feeling a bit better about it now. They're putting us in for the Lit exam in January though which means I'll be doing 4 exams then :(
I've started writing the Leverage prompt fics. Is there anyone willing to do a quick beta for one of them? It's an Alec/Eliot and it's not long at all.

If there's any of you on my flist that want a beta for anything let me know; it's a while since I've done any. I've not done any beta-reading for SPN/J2 yet and I really want to get into it. Course, if it's for another fandom/pairing, I'm up for helping too!
My Supernatural DVD arrived :D So I can finally watch 'The End'. It might have to wait until tomorrow though because of Father's Day. We're doing Grandad things today!
I think I've decided that I'm going to drop French next year - I just can't do the grammar side of it. We had a simple sheet on pronouns that should have been easy but I really struggles with it. So, decision made. Again.
I helped out with the Brownies' stall at the church fair yesterday (no Brownies actually turned up, which wasn't helpful). It actually turned out pretty well though because I ended up getting lots of books dirt cheap :)
Spent a lot of this afternoon outside with the family. Kizzie (golden retriever) had a great time playing tennis and it was really nice to just spend time with my grandparents. Plus, we were listening to Eye of the Tiger :) And yes, I did the Jensen mime.
Hope you're all well.
Season Five, Beta
May. 29th, 2010 02:33 pmI have a week off now! Which means that I have time on my hands. I also have two questions for you :)
Firstly, have any of you in the UK bought part one of Season 5 yet? I know that with S4 there was all the problems with the special features so I was just wondering what special features are on the dvds/if the right ones are actually on. I'd be really grateful if you could let me know :)
Secondly, I started writing the prompt fic for

TIA :) *hands out Impalas*
ETA: I've now finished the first draft, so I am actually looking for a beta now :)
