So I just finished setting up my GreatestJournal so if any of you have one too, hop on over and friend me! I'll be staying mostly here for the time being -- but just in case, I'm all set up over there. 

The address is http://sparkofire.greatestjournal.com/  :D

This is an odd request considering most of my f-list is Supernatural fans... but would any of you be up for beta-ing a Lord of the Rings story?  I started it... two years ago? and finished it last month. I wasn't that worried about the beta and just posted it to a couple smaller sites but now it's up for an award and I feel the need to get a beta for it.  It's long... 100,000+ words and very AU, focused on Legolas and Aragorn. It's my baby and I still love it despite the fact I really don't read LOTR anymore at all and I would love to get an extra pair of eyes on it before it goes into the main phase of the contest.  Mostly plot and character critique... and making sure I haven't missed too many typos on my many read throughs.  Anyone up for the challenge?

Title: Babylon
Author: sparkofire
Rating: PG
Characters: Dean & Sam
Notes: ~2,500 words, spoilers for ABHL2. Thanks to candygramme and krazykipper for the excellent beta job!
Disclaimers: This is not for profit and I make no claims on characters and storylines developed by Kripke and the CW.
Summary: Sam visits Dean at the hospital. Future fic.

I need a beta to look over a Supernatural one-shot I have ready. It's about 2,300 and post AHBL2.... so probably future AU.  Mostly for grammar and any other concrit you can give! Anyone have the time? :)

woohoo! My summer_gen fic is in so now I have time to write other things!! I hope to have some one-shots up soon and that kind of thing. 


On a completely unrelated note, after a deep conversation with my sister about Heroes, I'm looking for some wee! Peter and Nathan fics.  Slash or not, whatever, just some stuff focusing on the Petrelli brothers growing up.  I read a couple of things by hackthis (I strongly recommend this author if you haven't read her before!) and I'm craving more.  Any suggestions?

I know I'm not the most involved in fandom right now... but in light of recent happenings, I just wanted to offer my support. I'm gonna stick it out on LJ for as long as possible, but I do have a Vox that I just brushed the dust off of just in case.

I hope everyone on my friend's list is doing okay.  I sitll want to get involved again... if only real life would stop attacking me.

<3 to all of you!

Hello Everyone!

I know it's been a long time and I hope you all still remember me. The last few months, I've been extremely busy and distracted and it was difficult to even get online much less devote any time to creative pursuits. Finally, though, I think I'm at a place where I can be a contributing member of the fandom again.

I definitely plan on finish my WIPs and I already have a chapter almost completed for Porcelain. However, I also want to work on some smaller projects and some oneshots - those'll be appearing over the couple weeks ago as I kick my muse into gear again.  I'm also going to be catching up on all of the wonderful stories I'm sure I've missed in the last few months - so if you have any "must-reads" for me, please put them in the comments!

I missed you all dearly and I'm really glad to finally be able to come back! Thanks for your patience in waiting for me!

Chapter Four

So just an update on my amazing fascinating life.  : ) London is awesome - what makes it even more awesome is I got to see "In My Time of Dying" literally about 10 hours after it's premiere on the east coast.  *bounces* I loved it. It was amazing.  Jensen Ackles is teh sexy. hehe.

In other news, I've been incredibly busy but if everything goes as planned, the next chapter should be to my beta sometime tomorrow night - which means it should be up by Wednesday or so.  Thanks for all your patience - I love all of you guys - and I miss being able to hang out on LJ every night.  Alas, but London nightlife calls me.  ;-)

Anyways, hope to hear from ya'll soon!

I touched Leonardo DiCaprio last night.  *goes off to recusitate 16 year old self while my 21 more sophisticated self looks on in amusement*  Pictures might be provided as soon as my camera stops being a bitch.

Bono was there too. And I also touched him.   *more fangirl*




oh, and Beyonce was there.

Chapter Two

So my journey through Europe has now taken me to Italy - Venice to be precise.  My sister and I are staying in a little 5 star hotel right on the canal on the island. It's beautiful and my sister has been snapping tons of pictures with her Rebel camera (she's really into photograpy) and I've been taking pictures with my little Casio. So hopefully, I'll have some pictures to show everyone when I get to England.  I'll start having internet connection full time in about a week and a half when I get to London.

I've been a little sick the past few days - a hacking cough that just won't quit. But I'm still really enjoying all of this.  It's so beautiful here in Italy!!

The next chapter of Porcelain will be up soon - either when I get to London or sometime when I have a minute and internet.  hahaha.

Hope you guys are doing well!

Well, I am currently staying in Vienna (note to all you wonderful Europeans on my f-list, why do they call it Wein?)  because my apartment wasn't ready. My company flies me halfway around the world and they can't even get my apartment right - someone else was still living in it and they don't move out until the 6th of September. So my company, to make me happy as they really do want me to keep working for them, gave my a bunch of vouchers and stuff so I could vacation for awhile in Europe. Hence, I'm in Austria with my little sister, who flew over when my family found out that I would have about three weeks of downtime.

I love Vienna. It's beautiful and clean - so different from Los Angeles or even Orange County!  My sis and I saw a guy who looked like Jared Padalecki on the metro (or is it subway here?)  (my sister squealed in my ear). I still think he looked more like Mark Wahlberg but whatever.

Another question for all my European friends, what in Italy is a must to see? (Preferably in the Rome and Venice area because that's where the company is putting me up).

And, one more question for everyone out there, does anyone know if Supernatural is going to be offered on iTunes?  I would so pay the money to watch it legally while I'm here... but if it's not, I need to be able to make alternate arrangements to get it illegally.

Hope everyone is doing well and I promise a new chapter will be up soon!

Kristen

have you ever had a really good orginal idea for a fic - and been really excited about writing it - only to discover one day as you peruse archives of old fic, that someone had sort of done your idea? 

*sniffs*

that happened to me...

Tell me, if someone does a really really short fic about something (like below 2000 words) would people get all annoyed someone else did a long version along that same line?

My only concern is that the idea is original enough that people would cry "copy cat" or something like that.  *sigh* I really want to write this story...

well, it's my birthday today - but I got more "Are you still flying to London next week with all that's happened?" from my coworkers than "Happy birthday"  which is slightly sad.

Oh, well. But, yes, I am still flying to London next Tuesday. Except this time, I'm going to have no liquids in my carry-on. They better serve LOTS of in-flight drinks - that's all I'm saying, I always get so thirsty on airplanes. Oh, well.

In other, happier news, it's my birthday! yay!

And in even better news, the prologue of my new fic (sequel to "Cracked") should be up late tonight.

:-P
