I think all three of the prompts I picked for j2_everafter were snagged before I was able to comment. I was delayed by having to look up the numbers for the prompts I wanted... heh.

You know when I said - The prompt I want isn't particularly one of the romantic classic ones so I'm hoping it will be overlooked. *crosses fingers* boy was I wrong. It went with the very first comment.

Ah well, it looks like I will be graciously bowing out then, worse luck.

In other news, I'm debating whether to try Big Bang again this year. I failed like a big fat failer last year but did end up *completing* my story (although nowhere near the minimum word count).

I just want to do it to see if I can... but I also want to actually really concentrate on original work this year and actually start sending it out.

This is my last day of holidays. I feel a bit meh about everything today.

ETA: And in one fell swoop oxoniensis makes my day completely better by posting me Dean/Rory comment fic *glees*

Gahh, I am so, so sorry! *hides* I feel bad! :\ I'm really sorry. I've been on a Pixar kick and... well, that came to mind. Agh. I hope you do sign up for Big Bang though. That would be cool to do. And the more lovely fic, the better. *hugs*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hehehee... not your fault at all but wow were you fast! *laughs and cuddles you*

I'll look forward to your story and what's good is that it won't be a case of someone claiming the prompt I wanted and then not completing it. I know you'll do it and it will be super fantastic. :D

♥♥♥

You're so sweet! :) Yeah, I've been thinking way too much about it lately. (And hence, stalking the comm like a crazy person. sigh.) But seriously though, I hope I can do it quickly and not too badly! *hugs*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I lost valuable time looking up the prompt numbers... *laughs*

I look forward to it!

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Argh, that's a shame - I just took a look at the prompts page, and people were obviously all queuing up ready! Maybe they'll let two people take a prompt, as there are so many people signing up - there can't be that many prompts available, surely!

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Don't know. I just didn't expect to lose out on all *three* of the prompts I was interested in when I posted at 10:04. *blinks*

I lost a little time because I'd done my entry and then saw you had to list the prompt number as well and so had to go back and look 'em up before I posted. Although I don't think everyone did do that so maybe I shouldn't have worried about it.

The only other one I could think of would be Sky High with Jensen and Jared as the *parents* because otherwise it's been done to death but I'm sure that would have been well and truly snagged by now. :)

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is really unlucky. I can imagine how disappointing it'd be. Why not try requesting Sky High quickly, and then at least you've tried?

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I've seen it on a couple of people's lists already. I'll wait till the dust settles and then have another look through.

:) *hugs*

Here, have a wee cheery little fic snippet. From that fic I promise I'll finish one day!


The text message is short and simple. Rescue me.

Rory smiles. Not a 911, but she puts on speed across the square anyway. Dean's at Miss Patty's, picking up some curtain fabric for Lorelai to transform into costumes, so it's not hard to guess the reason for the plea.

When Rory walks in, Dean is sidling awkwardly away from Miss Patty, clutching a bag of drapes, face pink and flustered. Trying to move away, at any rate, though with Miss Patty's arm lovingly around his waist (and hand slipping lower) he's having a hard time.

Rory calls out to catch their attention. "Sorry, Miss Patty," she says, "but I'm going to have to steal Dean away from you."

His look of relief is so pathetic Rory nearly laughs out loud. Miss Patty just looks disappointed, and pats Dean firmly on the ass.

"Come back soon, you gorgeous boy," she croons, and Rory would swear he blushes on top of his blush. "And you, Rory, I hope you appreciate this tall drink of water."

"Oh, I do, Miss Patty. I promise," Rory says, and takes Dean's arm.

"She's evil, isn't she?" he asks as soon as they're safely out of hearing range. "What is she? A succubus? Something worse?"

Rory just laughs.

"She pinched my butt," Dean says indignantly, and elbows her when she simply laughs louder.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

There are many and varied reasons why I adore you and just putting a big old smile on my face when I was feeling blue is just one of them.

I *adore* this and can just picture Dean's indignant little woobie face.

*hugs you tightly*

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[strippedpink.livejournal.com]

Oh noooooo, you didn't get any of the ones you signed up for?? :( I haven't had a chance to go through and start crossing off claims yet, another mod's doing it while I eat dinner. I am SHOCKED they're going to fast though!

Are you sure I can't maaaaybe tempt you with another prompt though? I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO MISS OUT ON THE DISNEY GLORY! :D (feel free to tell me to shut up, too...I just want to help! There are so many prompts I want to see taken, and NOT ENOUGH FANGIRLS TO WRITE THEM, hehehe!)

♥

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I'm not 100% sure but I scrolled through after I'd posted and I'm pretty sure, yeah.

Was totally expecting it to happen though. :) I lost valuable milliseconds by looking up the prompt numbers... *laughs*

Hey, at least I know the prompt I wanted has gone to a good home.

I'll have another look through when the dust settles but I'm not really complainin' about being a reader for this one. :D

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I've asked if Robin Hood has been snagged - that was my favourite cartoon as a kid.

If it has then I'll just be a happy audience member, waiting for the sparkly fic. :D

[tabaqui]

The number thing delayed me, too. Arrgh.

I had an insane bunny bite, and have already written part of my fic, even though i'm not getting the prompt. Don't care! Still writing!
:)

I'll write the one i get though, two, 'cause nobody had gone for it that i could see.

We should have just been evol and posted our comment and then gone 'd'oh!! numbers?!' and edited.
*cackles*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hahahaa... :D

I think a few people have said that they had already started theirs, probably not realising what a complete flurry it would be. I think it was already up to about 85 comments only 20 mins in... not sure if anyone forsaw that. :D

I thought about doing the Big Bang (wow, putting an article in front of it makes it sound dirty. I'll leave it in, though) last year, if for no other reason than to get a story I want for myself. But then I realized I would have to write something and I signed up for an exchange once, and, well, it made a liar out of me. I am too scared to ever do it again!

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hehehee... don't be put off. Big Bang is a *big* commitment... I'll just need to have a really big think about it.

[leavingslowly.livejournal.com]

Weirdness - why is my comment anonymous?! LJ is stealing my identity!

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hahahaa... don't you hate it when it does that!

[pinkfinity.livejournal.com]

I was going to claim it for both of us, but by the time I posted it had already been claimed, and I didn't know what your second choice was.

: sadfaces

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hehehee... not to worry - we'll just have to collaborate on something else... *rubs hands together*

I'm not too worried because it's gone to someone I trust to finish it and make it sparkly and excellent. The only thing that would make me frustrated was if someone had snagged it and then dropped out later.

[sgflutegirl.livejournal.com]

I'm considering writing a Big Bang! AAHHHHH!! I have an idea and a loose outline for it already. It could be hugely epic, and Big Bang worthy. I've just never written anything that long before.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Doooo eeeeeet! *is enabler*

[lamis-p.livejournal.com]

I love that you are even thinking about writing J2 loveliness.

I loved your robot!Dean, so even though it didn't make if for Big Bang it was in no way a failure

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I would have loved to have gotten it done and it certainly had a lot of scope to be an expanded story but... *hand waves*

I'll just have to think about it.

[elaeazeph.livejournal.com]

Is it possible to still write the story, even though you aren't participating? Or will that step on the toes of the writer who snagged the prompt?

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I don't know - I've seen a couple of people comment that they are going to do that because they've already started their stories but ... I would just feel weird.

Plus, the prompt I wanted went to someone who will make it all sparkly and excellent so I can't really complain. :D

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

OMG THANK YOU FOR TAKING ROBIN HOOD!!!

(If I'd been home when you were on the fence, I'd've been over sooner with my begging.)

YAYYAY! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE STILL PARTICIPATING!!! \o/

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaa... I was just going through the striked-through entries with a sad little woobie face and then was all... !!!! It's not taken yet??

I might be taking a few... liberties but I'm definitely going to be enjoying this one now I've taken some time to absorb the idea.

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Liberties? I LOVE LIBERTIES!! *dances with glee*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Heheheee!

*dances with you*
