I'm not as smart as I think I am

I was so proud of myself for being absolutely, completely unspoiled for this week's episode of Supernatural. Usually by the time Thursday rolls around I've seen some little tidbit, such as a promotional still or the title of the episode, since Tumblr is like crack and no matter how often I try to drop it, I have to go back for one more little taste. But this week? Nada. And then at SPN o'clock I noticed my DVR wasn't recording anything (I always wait to watch until the show's been on for at least 15 minutes so I can skip the commercials) so I pulled up the guide and... oh. Rerun. That explains a lot.

The silver lining is that the time I would have spent writing a recap was spent filling a prompt for this year's ohsam Celebrating Sam event. And even though it's a hurt!Sam story, it's trying to turn into Dean's POV, as they always do. I don't know how to stop it. I might have to write both versions. Anyway. If you haven't combed through the list of prompts for inspiration, please go take a look. This is a wonderful, wonderful thing.



Also, since all the cool kids are doing it, I thought I'd post my LJ 18th anniversary stats. Except, since I use my phone, and it looked wonky when I tried to get a screencap in landscape mode, you get portrait mode. I was shocked to find that I have a little Top 100 banner. I'm sure GRRM is nervous about his #1 position, with me somewhere in the 90s breathing down his neck.


This is the kind of high-quality content that put me in the Top 100, folks.

It's ironic that LJ is making a big deal about their anniversary just as so many people are jumping ship. Like many of you, I'm crossposting to Dreamwidth. I hope, like me, that many of you are crossposting and not leaving LJ altogether. I don't want our community here to fall apart. I don't want to have to stop posting polls (I can't post them on Dreamwidth). It all makes me sad.

I'm going to go do terrible things to Sam Winchester now. That always makes me feel better. (Good lord. I am really messed up.)

I think it's fine to write a Sam story from Dean's POV. That makes sense as Dean is the most Sam-centric person in creation.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

That's true. Dean's a huge Sam!Girl.

But you are messed up in such good company!

Awww, poor you, being perfectly unspoiled for once...because there was nothing to spoil for.

For now I'm still posting from LJ because adding images to posts is much, much easier with the Visual Editor here. And most of the communities are still here. I really hope this won't be the final nail on the coffin of this kind of fandom culture. *is sad with you*

Don't joke about being in the Top 100, sweetheart - after all, your LJ is famous even on screen. <333

Oh, that's right, I forgot I'm famous! In that case, I'm annoyed that I'm not higher than the 90s.

Congratulations on making the top 100! And thanks for helping build fandom at DW. Why can't you do polls there?

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

You can't post polls with a free account on DW.

[sylsdarkplace]

Ah gotcha. I didn't remember that was one of the differences between paid and free. I couldn't really afford it, but I went ahead and got a paid account because I had so many icons, and I wanted to be supportive of DW since the influx of new members all at once will bog down their servers and create more work for them. Also, DW doesn't have the ad revenue that LJ has. It squeezed my budget and I realize a lot of folks can't afford it at all.

Yeah, that Dean POV in a fic about hurt Sam happens to me all the time, but I guess through Dean we can vent all our lovely worry for hurt Sam!!!! I have a little fic for a prompt, and I've been terribly cruel to poor Sam, and I really enjoyed myself too (so we're in the same 'messed up' boat!!!)
