Hello friend!!

In case you're looking for some help on what to do for me, I have - as usual - a big rambly letter. ;D

For starters, I am really excited that you are making a thing for me!! :D This letter is rambly and lengthy, BUT please know that optional details are optional. I seriously love genfic - I'm pretty much guaranteed to love whatever you choose do. Use the prompts I submitted and go wherever the muse takes you, or don't - combine, mix and match, get inspired and go sideways with it, come up with something else not related to the prompts, whatever, it's all good. :D

Thank you for doing this challenge. You are a wonderful, creative land mermaid. <3

(Below is mostly aimed at an author, but whatever applies to art, applies to art as well. :D)

( it's been a long long day )
tl;dr: I live for Dean Winchester, sass & snark, unexpected broships, humor/banter + angst, found family, hopeful endings. I really like pretty much every character on the show. I love genfic and will love whatever you come up with. :)

(If you want even more general likes/dislikes, here's an old yuletide letter )

Thank you my darling Summergen Gifter!! I'm going to love whatever you come up with. <3 Lastly, here is where you can find me and my stuff if you need/want to:

Dear beautiful, talented, brave author,

Above all, thank you, thank you for creating for me. I'm a huge messy rambler, hence this beastly letter outside of my prompts. Please note that optional details are optional, so please don't feel obligated or pressure or cramped. Take those prompts and run - combine, blend, flip them, twist them, ignore them and go sideways, whatever. Thank you for your work in advance! :D

General likes/dislikes under the first cut, and blurbs for alllllllllll the ships under the second cut.

( a bit of this and that )

Now: please feel free NOT to proceed - I'm going to include the prompts I added in the form, as well as blurbs for each ship (ideas for the ships, images, what I'd love to see, whatever). Feel free to ignore because this is a lot of text (since I don't know what you're getting matched on, I gotta include it all). Feel free to combine, blend, use prompts from other sections to whatever section you're after, go where the muse blows you. I am excited about all of these pairings, so pick whatever sparks your inspiration!! \o/

I repeat, optional details are optional and I am a big huge rambler. XD My "prompts" for your reference, and the blurbs are because ~~i talk too much~~ can't help myself and didn't want to blow up the form. >_<

(also, it should be noted just in case, but every post contains spoilers for that respective fandom.)

( the part where i elaborate. um. a lot. )

If you read any ~~(or all??????)~~ of the blurbs, bless you, you kind patient soul and I am so sorry for my rambling. Regardless, I hope you have plenty of ideas and I am so excited to see what you come up with, no matter what. Thank you for participating in this challenge! You are the best!

If you need any help on what to do for me, talk to stars-inthe-sky who knows me v well. :D And last of all, here's my other stuff if you want it for any reason:

(P.S. To anyone not doing Rare Pair fest, or anyone reading this well after the fact and sees something potentially inspiring: do it. link me. write all the things!!)

Hey you!!

First off, I want to say that I am so excited that you are creating for me!! :D Second: I am a huge rambler - but you already know that from my messy, lengthy prompts XD - so this letter is about to be extra long. BUT please know that optional details are optional. I love genfic so I'm pretty much guaranteed to love what you do. Take them prompts and go wherever the muse blows you - combine, mix and match, get inspired and go sideways with it, whatever, it's all good. :D

Lastly before I get super rambling: THANK YOU, you are super rad for doing this challenge, whether it be fic or art or vid or whatever else. <3

I've been posting about this on my tumblr but for anyone not on tumblr, I thought I would post here as well.

There's a project going on right now, that is an auction of fanworks/fan labor with proceeds going to charity, called "Fandom Trumps Hate". I thought it was a super cool thing and decided to put my name in the hat for it. I have no clue if anyone is at al interested in "bidding" on me for my stuff (there are so many people participating!), but I thought I might as well put myself out there in the name of several good causes. :) Even if you're not interested in bidding on me, I very much encourage you to go take a look at the other people participating and see if you can find something for you (here).

I personally will be offering fic, as well as beta services. I'll put all my information below, with relevant links. I'm really excited to do a fic (hopefully) so check out my offerings and hit me up. :) Hobey ho!

( let's go )

IT'S FINALLY HERRREEEEEEE

So, I had this fic idea like... after The Avengers came out. And I started and stopped it for years after - loved the idea but couldn't wrestle it, so I shelved it. Loved it again, but shortly after starting it, it was too overwhelming, so it was shelved. Loved, too much research or probelms or couldn't sort it and untangle it, etc, shelved it. Over and over forever. Then finally, I committed myself to finishing it (anyone who knows me, I have this thing about finishing projects like this that I start, lol), I fought with it a bunch more - lots of brainstorming with pals, various beta help, lots of me whining and complaining and trying to decide if this whole thing was even worth it. And then the

marvel_bang came around and I thought "OKAY. ONCE AND FOR ALL."

That's the background story. XD Now, we're here, a day after my official posting day on the

marvel_bang, and guess what? IT'S. HERE. Or rather, Part 1 (of 3) is here, BUT STILL. I can't describe how good it feels to FINALLY be getting this story out in the world, omw.

Dear fabulous author,

Hey and welcome to getting matched with me! I'm a rambler and I tried to keep it short but um. Ya. First off, I wanted to emphasis that optional details are optional, so please feel free to do your thang and don't feel pressured whatsoever by my rambling thoughts. These are merely ideas, and you are awesome. :)

Hello Beautiful Gifter!!

So, this is my first Summergen and I am very excited to be a part of it. I adore gen fic and there is not enough of it in the world. ;D I am excited that you've been matched with me and can't wait to see what you come up with!! And hey, if you're doing art instead, AWESOME!!

I want you to know a few things before I start here: first, I am no good at nice, cool one-liner type prompts (as you saw XD) and apologize for my rambling chunks of text. Second, my "prompts" are 100% just ideas and if the muse pulls you elsewhere or my ramblings inspired you in some random way, go with it!! And this letter? Optional details are optional!! Please don't let me cramp your style. :) My speak below is mostly aimed at an author, but whatever applies to art, applies to art as well. :)

Dear beautiful Author,

So this is my very first Yuletide! I somehow have been very active in fanfic for something like 10 years and yet managed to never hear about Yuletide until just this past summer. I’m excited to join in finally (and admittedly totally nervous because I’m worried about messing something up XD).

These are just ideas and guidelines and if the muse takes you somewhere else, go for it! I apologize in advance if this is a lot – optional details are optional – so don’t let this cramp your style and please don’t feel pressured in any way!! You are magnificent human for doing this, in any capacity. :D

( oh don't you dare look back just keep your eyes on me )

So, as if you haven't noticed, I am horrible at keeping my LJ up to date? XD But it's way past time for another fic round up - looks like the last one was more than a year ago. Ooops.

It's been a while since I posted here - I've had a lot going on, both real life and elsewhere online. My newest addiction is the Beta Branch forum, where a bunch of fantastic people and fantastic writers share their fics for beta-ing, and we flail about TV and movies and Avengers and stuff. It's the best, I love it! But it does take up a ton of my time, as I enjoy posting and betaing for everybody on there and I am not a fast beta, lol.

OH. AND SUPERNATURAL. More specifically, Dean Winchester. I'm halfway through season 4, and I cannot love Dean more. I am obsessed with his face. (And one of these days I'll have to do a TV update of sorts - so many things have been watched. Torchwood, Buffy, Angel... new shows like Sleepy Hollow, Almost Human...)

Anyways, in other news, HAPPY NEW YEAR and stuff! Hopefully I can around to posting here a bit more often, as I don't want to neglect my LJ. ;D

In the meantime, because I haven't done one in aaaages, here is a fic update. Oh! And I'm on AO3 now, so you can now conveniently read me on FF and AO3. If you prefer to read on AO3, here's a link to me profie: http://archiveofourown.org/users/red_b_rackham . (I don't have every fic up on there, but I do have a number of them, and add anything new I post there at the same time I post on FF). Last time I did a fic update was like 2011 (whoa. whoops.), so this might be lengthy, lol.

Another year, another Het Bang sign up. Before I get going on that, a few things: this entry will contain pointless Het Bang ramblings. I was going to spew about some Game of Thrones stuff, but I have a feeling that's going to get long, or in any event, should be a separate entry, so I will do that sometime.

IT'S OVER.

Holy cow, I don't know how I made it. And frankly, I'm still not happy with my fic - I still think it needs a lot of help - BUT the deadline has passed, Debut Day has passed, and my brain is an uncreative, wrung dry, pile of MUSH, plus I feel just over it, lol. So maybe once I've recovered, I'll take another pass at it.

So right now I have about 20k written (with another rough 3k of extra scenes that I've written pieces of, but haven't gotten to in the linear progression of the fic yet). I've adopted a sort of "No Looking Back" policy, which means I'm trying to just pound it all out and not reading back what I wrote to pick, edit, trim, etc.

Ok guys. The Mandatory Check-In post has gone up at

Alright, LJ is acting funny for some reason for me - I was just able to post short replies to various comments in the Girl on Fire ficathon, but then when I tried to post my fills, it just was giving me captcha codes forever and won't post. So rather than fighting the dang thing, I'm trying another approach. ;)

I can't believe it's been like a year. And despite the pain I put myself through by being the Queen of Procrastinia, and leaving everything to the 11th hour, I'm totally gonna sign up to do this Bang again. :D In theory, I'll be more organized and stuff. (Chya. You just wait for those whiny posts where I flail and complain and stay up ridiculously late and sign up for everything... ya, you've been warned.)

Also,

irony_rocks was seeking some banners and stuff, I volunteered to make some. And I maybe kinda (totally) went overboard with the color choices here, so please feel free to not use/post/etc any of the following...

Hey! Ok, update finally. I finished the Bang! *does dance* And I completed the art, AND betaing the other fic. I got it all done. I feel like I'm going through with withdrawal in terms of writing - after how many weeks of hardcore writing, I have no more to do, haha! Anyways, so this post is full of linkage. :D

So, because I am an insane person, I decided to sign up for my first Big Bang ever. For those of you who don't know (I didn't until I stumbled onto one), it's basically writing a big story in a small amount of time, similar in concept to NaNoWriMo. For this particular Bang, it's to be centered around the het pairing of your choice in any fandom, must be 25k+ in length, and must be done by September. I think the actual deadline is like the 15th or the 20th, but I've been telling myself it's the 1st just to motivate myself some more.

Anyways, so after several weeks of completely struggling to come up with anything and appealing to various other ficcers to help me as sounding boards for ideas, I've finally made a smidgen of progress, and I thought I would share just a tiny little bit - a bit which I will probs end up posting for the next Snippet Sunday at the het_bigbanghelp comm. Vague story summary and snippet under the cut!
( because i don't have enough things to do in my life i thought writing 25k before september was a grand idea ... OY )
