Distracted By Something Shiny

I almost forgot to make this post this month! My word count for April. I did amazing last month on my word count. My second best numbers so far this year, thanks to two important birthdays and massive inspiration. I finished up a fic, wrote in an old fandom, wrote in a fandom that I love to read in but barely ever write in, and finished out with a brand new fandom. Everything I worked on this month - Completed! I am not sure all of it is good (the Danny/Martin fic is so clichéd it hurts and I didn’t even write the porny bits!) and some of it went to a totally different place than I had intended, but other pieces made me ridiculously happy.

Here is my approximate word count for the month.

April, 2012
Week One: 500 words of Gale/Finnick fic. Completed.
Week Two: 1,450 words of Danny/Martin fic. Completed.
Week Three: 3,650 words of Steve/Danny fic. Completed. (already posted!)
Week Four: 2,700 words of Avengers Gen fic. Completed. (already posted!)

8,300 words written in April!

( Fic posted in April, 2011. )

Overall, April was a really, really good month for writing. I also managed to post seventeen times, which may be a record for me. On the other hand, I have now gotten so far behind on my Flist that it won’t actually let me go back that far. I still have a ton of writing to do this month for RL birthdays - (finished The Nephew's, am working on The BFF's, want to do one for The Sister). But you guys...I started The BFF’s birthday fic and I can’t talk about it here because she reads this LJ…but I am stupidly in love with it and I hope it keeps going as well as it has started!

So, I'm like a bazillion years behind on my friend's page, but I wanted to make this post and then I have to crash because I got like five hours of sleep last night.

Anyway, after I posted that fic I wrote about Rachel Nieland - liptonrm got inspired and decided to post all of her Rachel-fic too. It's a bunch of stand-alones all put together, so with her permission, I am reposting them individually here.

THIS ONE HAS WEE!CHESTERS BEING ADORABLE! What I love about this is how well liptonrm does capturing the Winchester's voices - from John's reaction to meeting Rachel, to wee!Sammy and wee!Dean being so spot on as little boys.

Here is a snippet:

Dean rolled his eyes. “Yeah, so? It’s just some boring girl.”

“But what if she wants to play with us?” Oh yeah, that whine in Sammy’s voice was definitely getting louder.

“We’ll just tell her we aren’t gonna have some stupid tea party and she’ll figure out that we don’t want her around.” Dean wasn’t worried. He was an old pro at getting dumb girls to go away.

Rated G, General, and also including John and Bobby! 1,189 words.

( It’d been months since they’d stop by the salvage yard but they were on their way up to Blue Earth and he knew he was two breaths from doing one of his boys permanent injury if they didn’t all have a chance to get out and stretch their legs. )

Read more of liptonrm's Rachel fic here. It's like if Jeremy Carver were secretly writing fanfic about his own character, you guys! (omg, do you think Jeremy Carver secretly writes fanfic about his own characters?)

Go read! And then this weekend I shall give you some of my fic. I can't decide what to post though - CW RPS or SPN or a SPN Crossover? Hmmmm...
