We're gonna Need a Bigger boat

Title: Reindeer Games
Fandom: SPN

Summary: written for the Winter/Holiday comment fic meme at hoodie_time for the prompt - Gen. Dean, Sam. It wasn't Grandma who got run over by a reindeer; it was Dean.
Word Count: 1600ish.

( Someone get the number of that reindeer )

Title: The Fire of Paris
Claim on dc_everafter : The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Genre: Romanticism, AU, Fairytale
Pairing(s): Dean/Cas
Rating: PG-13 for language.
Word Count: 16000ish
Warnings: My personal beliefs on religion are my own. No offense is meant to anyone or anything.

A/N: This takes place in a world separate and apart from ours. While the cathedral and the books Castiel reads are more historical, Dean’s attitude and language is contemporary. It’s quite anachronistic, but I imagined it as a sort of fractured fairy-tale - both familiar and somewhat strange. Forgive me for the quick "Happily Ever After Ending." I realized far too late that the story I planned would be somewhere in the vicinity of 40,000 words and I just didn’t have time to complete it, so I had to chop it all out.

Title from Double Heriodes - XVI - Paris’ letter to Helen - extract at the end.

On to next part

My PVR got confused when the CW showed the rerurn of the Vampire Diaries so I only saw the SPN ep "Like a Virgin" today.
( The 1800s called. They want their virgins back )


On writing - I went to a one day class at my local university on getting published and I was a little disappointed in that too.

( What I thought of my writing workshop )

So I've signed up for the mini_nanowrimo again, and I've pledged to do 400 words a day. Which I hope works out. I do better with weekly goals, frankly, but that's not an option.

so then I started thinking about what I was going to write. I have some original fic that I've been meaning to get back to but lately, I've been having WAY MORE FUN working on fanfic.

So at first, November was going to be original fic month but not anymore.

On my way to work this morning, I put classical music on which always helps me think and it came me. November will be Cliche Month!

OMG, YES. Cliche Month. I will try to work through as many cliches as possible. Given my propensity to write longer fic, I doubt I'll make it through many but I will give it my best.

And I think I'll work in SPN and SGA.

So far, my list of cliches to write is:

1. Aliens Make them Do it [AMTDI] for SGA and/or Sex Pollen for SPN
2. Amnesia
3. Mpreg
4. Genderswap
5. Doppleganger
6. Sudden Telepathy

And I'll prolly pull from my hc_bingo and orschmoop_bingo cards and see if I can cross off two things with one story.

So yeah, November is cliche month!
