Fic what I wrote!

I vented at poor tracy_loo_who about last night's SPN season finale, and I think that's all I'm gonna manage to say on the subject. The rest of my issues I'm going to have to work out through fic, which is more fun for everyone, I think. And pornier.

Speaking of, the reveals for deancastiel's Renegade Angels III went up earlier this week. I wrote two stories:

Title: If on a winter's night a fangirl
Pairings: Dean/Castiel & Chuck/Becky
Rating: R
Warnings: Crackishness; about the usual amount of blasphemy
Spoilers: Through 5x09
Length: ~12,300 words
Summary: “Chuck,” Becky said, slowly and carefully and very, very seriously. “I think someone is trying to communicate with us through the fanfic.”
Notes: For alek_sandros. In writing this story I owe many thanks to my betas, siriaeve and aesc, and deep apologies to Italo Calvino.

If on a winter's night a fangirl

Title: Creature of Habit
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Through 5x13
Length: ~5,500 words
Summary: The more you love someone, the more you want to kill them. Or: How Cas developed some bad habits, and Dean coped surprisingly well.
Notes: For misslucyjane, who asked for Dean and Castiel lying on the hood of the Impala at night, talking. Many thanks to my infinitely patient and wise betas, aesc, bauble, radiobroadcast, and siriaeve!

Creature of Habit

And while I'm pimping things out, I guess I'll use this space to remind everyone that I have a Twitter! That I am actually using now! It's mostly fannish stuff, book stuff, and random celebrity sightings. In other words, what this LJ would be if I ever actually updated it. *blush*

Booklogging in America

Hey, and now that the Renegade Angels reveals are up, I can finally post this booklog! (Yes, that is the excuse I am going to continue to use for being so miserably behind.)

( 21. Patriotism — Yukio Mishima )

it’s a snuff film. But it’s an unusually stylish and well-directed one.

---

( 22. Trout Fishing in America — Richard Brautigan )

PLEASE EXPLAIN RICHARD BRAUTIGAN AND TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA TO ME. I DON’T GET IT.”

I’m sure that would go over well.

---

( 23. If on a winter’s night a traveler — Italo Calvino )

I guess I can say I finally get what the big deal about Calvino is. Success!

---

( 24. Bad Nature — Javier Marías )

Hell, go ahead and throw in that Nobel Prize.

---

( 25. Tales of Desire — Tennessee Williams )

It’s also possible that my brain simply never recovered from the SURPRISE CANNIBALISM.

---

( 26. Everything Matters! — Ron Currie, Jr. )

I found it seriously disappointing to see the same tired paths being ploughed again and again.

---

( 27. Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned — Wells Tower )

Reading this collection will leave you feeling rather ravaged. And kind of like you might want to don a bunch of plaid and pose for the front of a Brawny paper towels package.

---

( 28. Wild at Heart — Patricia Gaffney )

She should write an amnesia or a bodyswap book. I'd totally read that.

---

( 29. Invisible Cities — Italo Calvino )

Can someone who was affected positively by this book tell me why it worked for them?

---

( 30. Everything Here Is the Best Thing Ever — Justin Taylor )

That's how I feel about this Tetris story. And, uh. That's not a sentence I get to write often.

Total Reviews: 30/82

If my occasionally remembering to update this booklog is not enough for you, you can enjoy a daily dose of book nonsense on my work blog! (And if these occasional booklog posts are far more than enough...um. Sorry?)
