Okay, looks like I am gonna rant a bit here so for those who haven't seen Monday's finale for Castle I'm putting everything behind the cut.
( About the episode... )

So yeah... not the happiest of campers even if I probably should be.

Ms. J.

So I took off work Friday to see The Avengers as I have been waiting anxiously for a year for this film and my impressions are under the spoiler cut (DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS; ALSO SPOILERS FOR OTHER SHOWS!!!):
( SPOILERS ABOUND! )

So yeah, I need to see it again and it is already in my to buy wish list on Amazon.

Ms. J.

I just got my early birthday present from my hubby, furrylogic... a new Kindle Fire. And in doing so I have found out that not only am I in love with the thing but that the world of writing and books will never be the same. Let me elaborate

( My theory... )
So, here's to the revolution - and I hope to have my own spot in the army of writers.

Ms. J.

So I had some downtime for the first time in a while where I was not stressed out and was writing motivated. I watched part of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie and then sat down with my laptop to actually write with some inspiration. After a few hours I have an update!

Answering the Call - Chapter 17

I can't believe it has been 5 months since I updated it, but I recall that I was:

a) sidetracked with other fandoms (Covert Affairs, Haven)
b) reading a lot more fic
c) starting to get overwhelmed at work (layoffs of people around me, lots of projects for me)
d) the holidays and everything that comes with them

Today I think was the perfect storm - I had time, I was wanting to write, I had no other things pulling me (new fic to read, family, work, etc) so I sat and wrote. I can't say how nice it actually was.

Now if I can just stay in this mindset I'd like to get to some of my languishing writing, including finishing AtC, Helping Hand and maybe, just maybe, thanks to windjammers I might get back to finish Die Another Day...

Still, at least 1 update of something is encouraging since it has been over 2 months since I posted anything!

Ms. J.

I watched the last HP movie last night and was reminded why I hated the last book once more.

 

Next plan, re-read HP and the Circle's End to get the taste out of my mouth.

 

Oh, and maybe try to work on some writing...

Welcome to 2012... the year we either all perish or we look pretty dumb for believing in Mayan calendars made of stone.

( The 2011 year in fanfic review )

I can only hope that 2012 will offer me some more opportunities to add more stories to my current fandoms and maybe I will branch out into some new locations.

Happy 2012...

Ms. J.

for it always seems that they disappoint me and I end up having to write something to feel better. This time it was Season 2's finale for Covert Affairs... As expected I found my ship and was hoping for something... hopeful, only to get my shipper heart crushed. So I did what I do best - write an AU that picks up where I think the show screwed up and fixed it. So here it is:

Always There When You Need Him

I will admit that I do not know what I will do with this - call it complete or add additional chapters. Which right now is not on my agenda. I actually had been working on a new chapter of Helping Hand (i.e. Haven Smut Story) and thought I would use the holidays to catch up with Answering the Call... but no, evil TV writers have to throw a monkey wrench into my plans.

Also, while I am on the subject here, I have learned that I like hurt/comfort stories a little more than I think I should. From Covert Affairs to Hawaii 5-0 (Steve!whump) and back to even Power Rangers (Pawns and All I want for Christmas being prime examples of this) I like my hero/heroine to get hurt and then come back from it happy and awesome... What that says about me personally I have yet to determine.

Anyway, if you watch Covert Affairs and want to check this out and give your thoughts I'd love the feedback.

Ms. J.

So the little fic I started following the Haven season 2 finale that was simply in my head a one shot that I had no idea how it would be received is now complete, 14 chapters and several months from its start date.

With this done I can focus on finishing Answering the Call and adding chapters to Helping Hand.

Of course, now that it is near Christmas and the new year I will want to get as much done as I can... wish me luck.

Ms. J.

So last chapter was all non Audrey/Nathan and there was very little in the way of reviews, so that tells me that the readers are on board for the N/A I think. So they got it this chapter - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7428587/11/

I think I am getting to the end. I have the end somewhat already written out and figure there are about 8 more scenes I need... (I could be off about this) so that might be about 3 chapters... but I have been known to estimate wrong before.

Anyway, hopefully once I finish BiA I can then focus on completing AtC and if I am so inspired add a chapter or 2 to the porniness that is Helping Hand.

Ms. J.

So I've still been working on stories, just mostly BiA, which is now on chapter 10 (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7428587/10/). I have the last scene written out (mostly, I can change it, unlike some people - I'm looking at you JK Rowling!) but I am not sure how many more scenes I need to get there from the end of chapter 10. Right now it is 2 but every time I write more on a scene or add one it makes the story longer. At this rate I'll finish juts before the Christmas special on SYFY on Dec 6th.

I have the outline for the next chapter of AtC but have not had time to work on it. I am thinking I'll end up either waiting until BiA finishes or when I need a break for my mental health.

Now off to wait for trick or treaters...
