Official Summary: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Jared in possession of his heterosexuality will immediately switch teams upon enrollment in college and first contact with Jensen Ackles.

Authors' Notes:
Kelly thanks: walkawayslowly, for suggesting that we cowrite in the first place, and for waiting patiently for me to move past the laughing-in-her-face stage and into the "omg fine" stage; for not murdering me during the many, many periods of story-related emo; and for still being my very favorite person on the entire internet (and beyond!) at the end of it all. I can't think of anyone with whom I would rather have a child that is also a piece of fanfiction. You say that's slightly creepy? I say that's how we roll.girlmostlikely, for a very fantastic beta, and for being one of my very first fandom friends, back when I was new and writing about Wincestuous adventures in prison. Those were good times.nemoinis, for being so excellent as to offer to beta even when she did not know half of the authors, and for doing a fantastic job while she was at it.
Merrin thanks: causeways. I understand the key smash when I first asked her to cowrite now, and all the laughter. See, she'd done this before, and I really hadn't. If you are not familiar with the process, it is one arduous task. Similar to giving birth, I would imagine, or climbing a mountain, even though I have only done the latter and not the former. I have a new measure for a friend now, and it’s someone who will cowrite 60k of coming-of-age (and out-of-the-closet) rps with you and still be your friend at the end of it.girlmostlikely, for agreeing to beta even though she knew how long it was going to be, and how much time we weren’t going to be able to give her. thanks also for pointing out our ACTUAL posting date as opposed to the posting date we THOUGHT we had. Love you, babe, you are the BEST.nemoinis, for ALWAYS betaing everything, even my crappy popslash. and for being one of MY first fandom friends, back when I thought "slash" fic meant "stabbing people with pointy knives."
Kelly and Merrin both thank: heyhoolou, for picking our lame summary out of a whole list of summaries, and being an INCREDIBLY awesome artist; and the 
spn_j2_bigbang mods, for running this wild rumpus again.
Big Bang rec: What Remains by walkawayslowly
July 1st, 2008
Okay, dudes. So I haven't read a whole lot of Big Bang fics outside of the ones that I've betaed. The fic I'm reccing here IS one of the ones that I've betaed, and you're welcome to think I'm biased all you want, since if you've been on my LJ at all you probably know that I think walkawayslowly is the awesomest girl around -- but nonetheless, I'm reccing Merrin's BB, because this fic is SO FRIGGIN' GOOD.
What Remains by
Dean/Sam, Bobby, OMC/OFC (bear with me, people) | NC-17 | 39,500 words | post-S3 amnesia fic
This is the one where Dean loses his memory and himself, and Sam has to find both.
I should start by saying that I am INSANELY picky about Wincest these days, and that while there's a lot of lovely post-S3 fic out there that deals with Dean being in Hell, that's not anything I hugely want to read right now -- happily, this story is 100% post-Hell, and contains nothing but allusions to it! It's also amnesia fic with two fantastic POV characters (one who is Sam and one who is not) and, oh, really awesome first-time Wincest.
Also, I understand that a lot of people are wary of O.C.s, but seriously? PLEASE do not let the mention of original characters here turn you away from this story. It's pretty fucking amazing to get to watch the development of the Wincest both from inside the relationship and outside it.
Oh yeah, and Sam likes to be all angsty, but there's plenty of schmoop to balance that right out.
Seriously, GO. Read it. It's AWESOME.

I'm really smart, yo. I uploaded five Cake albums for regala_electra this morning, and then I never posted the links.
Here! Have awesome music! All .zip files, all on MegaUpload.
I can do tracklistings too if anyone wants them!
Anyway, I'm in San Diego, and it's lovely if a little bit cool and overcast. Today I learned that trying to play ultimate frisbee on the beach while hung-over is a poor choice. Surprising, isn't it? Also, that walkawayslowly kid, I really like her or something. I talked to her for an extraordinarily long time while drunk last night, which I figure is just repayment for that one time she drunk-dialed me and talked to me in Whale. ("Helloooooooooo, I aaaaaaaaaam druuuuuuuunk.")
Oh yeah, and spn_j2_bigbang summaries got revealed! theoret and I are behind this guy:
Title: Hey, It Could Happen
Summary: This is the story of how unicorns saved Sam and Dean. It's a little embarrassing. Dean would like to make very clear that he has absolutely not befriended the unicorns. Also, he totally doesn't have a thing for his brother.
YUP.

Dude, today's the one year anniversary of when I first posted SPN fic! How crazy! The Placement of Water and Lead was the fic (Sam/Dean, NC-17, 10,969 words) -- post-Heart Evil!Sam yay!
Ahaha, I just tallied it up: I've written over two hundred thousand words of SPN and CW RPS in the past year. 206,660 words, to be exact. MADNESS. But really fun madness. :D
Also? I, uh, seem to be doing spn_j2_bigbang after all. Heh. There's this fic theoret and I wrote a billion years ago and then never posted because it was in bad need of a rewrite, soooo yeah. That's happening! First time Wincest with a hearty dose of craaaack.
aljslkjdfa, this is ALL walkawayslowly's FAULT. And maybe a little bit ignited's. VILE ENABLERS.
ETA: fourfreedoms thinks I don't love her, BUT I DO.

Ugh, grossness. I got drunk both last night and the night before last, and on both occasions then proceeded to eat ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF FOOD. I blame girlmostlikely and fourfreedoms for Friday night's gluttony; for last night's I could TRY to blame RL people, buuuuut mostly I have no one but myself to blame. Friday's wasn't really that terrible, but last night I was like a TINY HUMAN PACMAN. It might be time to hit the gym this afternoon—I have been awful about it lately—but not before this afternoon, because I feel FAR too gross to do it before then. It's a vicious cycle!
Ahaha, anyway! Wendy commented on the J2 I posted recently talking about how she really loved the idea of Jared and Jensen moving in together in L.A. but also keeping a house in Texas that they could return to, and it made me think of this poem—which I told her I would type out and then didn't. Finally I have remembered!
( where we are by Gerald LocklinCollapse )
Ack, there was something else I was going to talk about and now I have no friggin' clue what it was. Uh, I started my Big Bang, finally? Slightly over 3,000 words is better than no words at all. \o/ Never mind that I now get to spend the day working on things that AREN'T BB, such as revising a short story and oh, right, my thesis. I also spent about an hour yesterday looking at jobs for next year and becoming increasingly discouraged. Fun!
