Story progress

I haven't written much this week; I've been too darn busy. But I signed up for both sncross_bigbang and spn_j2_bigbang, so I'm posting to keep track of my progress.

I know the word counts look really good...but the trick is gonna be to finish both fics by deadline! (thanatos_kalos - I am gonna pick your brain on the injury details for one of these!)

11,566 / 15,000 (77.1%)

My story for sncross_bigbang is titled The Exiles and is a crossover with Angel. Set pre-series, while Sam is at college, the story features Dean, John and Kate Lockley from ATS. So far it's gen, though I'm not certain it will stay that way.

13,755 / 20,000 (68.8%)

My story for spn_j2_bigbang is tentatively titled Reap The Whirlwind and is a sequel to Dreamwalker. Though it's a sequel, it will stand alone; it's just set in the same AU 'verse. It's a het story, mostly because there's one joke I just couldn't resist which required a sex scene. Sam/Jess and Dean/Jo...though Jo is a rather different character from the canon Jo.

Also, sign-ups are still open for both challenges so if you're a writer who likes a challenge and haven't signed up - go check them out!

More on My Bloody Valentine

I'm posting a lot today, but I just found Mark Kermode's review of MBV on his blog. It's a video blog and might not be viewable from the US (some BBC vids aren't) but do try.

Includes very brief clips of the movie - mostly from the trailer.

Mark is my movie guru...but unlike me he's a real horror fan. (I'm a horror fan, but I like horror within certain limits.) I love that he says a lot of the things I said in my own review but he applies it to 3D in general...I think he's wrong there.
