There was a time (about 3 or 4 years ago) that hearing a fan say they are no longer enjoying The Show made me feels all sorts of sad. I even used to try and convince people that it would be ok and DON'T GOOOOOO! "but just wait...it will get better for you..." (/o\)

( fannish ponderings )

No idea why I spewed that all over my journal. I just felt like getting that off my chest.

(I love the new "collapse". Thanks LJ.)

...just makes me want to BURST!!! \o/

Honestly.

from receiving PMs recommending fic, to someone taking the time to beta stuff you've done, to receiving comments on stuff you've made, to someone offering to make PDF's of fics you want to read off line, to knowing that someone is making a film (A FILM!!) based on SPN, to reading delightful (tucked away) J2 fairy tale fic , to people making art work that makes you want to SING (there's far too many to link, so instead just look HERE (at every post!)), to chatting about vid ideas with awesome peeps, to being excited and nervous about SPN renewal, to following peeps tweets, to being completely geeky about lamps and wall paper that may or may not be re-used in certain eps (oh lordy...) , to drooling over gifs that get posted, to being asked to beta stuff (and see it before anyone else! \o/), to people taking the time to take pics from recent cons and uploading them for us to see (and here), to having a wonderful comm that has the most AMAZING people contributing to it, and to people just sharing the SPN love!! \o/ (oh shut up... it's been a crazy weekend. Fandom is like, idk, respite from all that... truly...)

I just.

It's friggin' awesome is what it is.

Clif knows the power of the force doesn't he? He does know that that pool will be filled in like half a day yeah? He'll probably need an olympic swimming pool to fit all the ducks...

( Of course, I'm distracted by the LEGS! )

Stuff that's made me smile recently:

1. Fic: debbiei66 wrote The Road, Again. Which just makes everything better after Swan Song. It's perfect and put me in a very happy place after that ep. (which I am STILL friggin' angsty about).

2. Con vid: I'm generally not a huge con vid watcher but when greyowl88 sent me this (she's my dealer - she's fixes me up with all the good stuff!) - I took a peak. The quality is amazing. It's by Nisha1912 and the boys are absolutely delightful. My favourite part is the thing Jared dislikes about Sam:

3. This post by maichan808. Channel Surfing being watching on the set of Supernatural?! *does the vid makers dance with maichan* (apparently it was sent to the boys by one of the set guys.. be awesome if they watched it!). Though also check out the info re her Jarad's Ass vid! Hee!

4. Another vid: Complete change of topic but if you are in any way confused about the European Debt Crisis you HAVE to watch this vid. (and, um... even if you're not). Thanks to greenpear for the heads up. After watching this it ALL made perfect sense. And don't be afraid. It's hilarious. Aussies might know it anyway. It's Clarke & Dawe. Honestly. Watch it!

5. I'm feeling better. But holy crap. Three days off of work. That's unheard of for me. It was a strain of flu apparently with the only symptom being bone deep ache and fatigue. *sheesh* Weird.

Now I have the urge to learn how to make picspams. Like those really pretty ones. With lovely colours and everything. In fact I've checked out some tutorials and stuff and realise that it will require a whole new skills set. *heavy sigh* I want to be able to do it NOW! (I am incredibly impatient). I have an idea and I want to be able to just DO it. But the word "Photoshop" sends me into a spin. Though I have dabbled so maybe I just need to dabble some more. And for those who haven't seen it (though I'm pretty sure you all would have done) you've got to take a look at this post on picspamming. Amazing and a real eye opener on how involved they are. And *koff* - like that.

That's it. :D
