Ha ha! It is to laugh...AKA my writing life

[neotoma]

I have not been able to get the hob story to move an inch yet again -- this is the second time I tried to write it for the sabriel_mini and the second time it didn't budge.

So I'm picking up 'The Man Comes Around' again since it's already at 22K words, even though it was utterly jossed by the end of season 5 -- I started writing it after 5.10 during the mid-season hiatus. Which means that I had anticipated the car-based puns for the Horsemen, but not which ones (I had Death drive a Pinto, etc), and didn't have Anna or Gabriel get killed. Also there is an alligator-style egg mound in the back of Bobby's scrapyard that an entire garrison of angels is getting broody over.

alchemyalice gave me a critique of the partial draft way back when, but I could sure use volunteer alpha readers. I know that I need to work on the Dean&Sam stuff, and rewrite a lot of the early part of the story -- I started it as a Dean/Cas fic and it mutated into a Sam/Gabriel one. Anyone want to volunteer?

Hope you don't mind a random comment; I've dropped by and left feedback for your fics, but I'm always a little wary about commenting on the entries of people I don't know well.

I just wanted to say that your story idea sounds great (especially the egg mound in the scrapyard and Death driving a Pinto) and who cares that it's Jossed? I am sorry we won't see the spaceship story (because I'm a sucker for that sort wpic sci-fi adventure) but this sounds like a great story.

What I really wanted to say, though, is that I enjoyed your conversation with the commenter above. I love a writer who puts so much thought into the scientific side of things, especially since the show can't really do that. Would we be seeing anything like that in your fic?

(Also, I sincerely apologize about the babbly nature of this comment; I had three hours of sleep last night, and I swear I'm normally more rational and less grovel-ly than this!)

Well, the important part is that it's mostly complete, really.

The spaceship story will get done. There's too much fun world-building for me not to write it. Dean will actually be a viewpoint character for a change, since him dealing with the "Unitarian Space Mormons" who think he's the Messiah is just too funny a premise to pass up.
