Daydream believer

The state of me and writing:
I think I'm kind of, sort of, hopefully coming out of the "writing makes my brain hurt" thing that's been going on since the summer. I mean, it does still make my brain hurt a little, but not so much that I can't do it. I've been having fun with my Little Black Dress Crossover Challenge story, Fall Out Boy/Burn notice. Pete turns to Michael Westen for help when Patrick's been kidnapped. What's not to enjoy, really? *g* But it's already 10,000 words, and I'm half done? Two-thirds done? Definitely not nearly done enough. Ten thousand words is about as much as I can write comfortably. I'm at the point where I wish I could pay somebody to finish it for me. But...I guess I can't. Unless there are volunteers? *smiles winningly* Seriously, though, I admire people who write long story after long story. I wish it came more naturally to me.

Sometimes, this idea I have that I could someday write a novel is really kind of funny.

There's still time to sign up for the Little Black Dress Crossover Challenge! Or don't sign up and just surprise me! Late entries welcome! It's all good!


Firefly REC!
The lovely, talented alizarin_nyc wrote me an amazing, hot, sweet, perfect Mal/Simon story for my birthday, The Flying Game, which you should run, run, run to read if you're a fan of this pairing. It was just everything I love about these two, with bonus drunken dancing and Simon turning the tables and sweet fumbling sexy sweetness. Yay story!

Just wanted to remind everyone about the black_dress_lex challenge. There have already been several entries posted, which you should totally check out, and you still have until March 15 to write 1,000 words about fandom's black dress Lex Luthor and aomeone, anyone from another fandom. If you feel inspired, come out and play!

My Sunday brunch friends and I often talk about how Lex Luthor is fandom's favorite little black dress. He's sexy, sophisticated, and he goes with everything. *g* So, I thought…let's have a challenge!

Welcome to the Everybody's Favorite Little Black Dress Crossover Challenge. Your mission, should you accept it, is to write a crossover story featuring Lex Luthor and…anybody else you want!

Here's the deal:

1. I have in mind Smallville's Lex Luthor, but any incarnation of the character is fair game.

2. Pair him up with any character(s) from any other show, movie, book, real life, whatever.

3. Lex must get some action, however you choose to interpret that.

4. Stories should be at least 1,000 words. Artwork is also welcome!

5. Challenge entries are due by the Ides of March (3/15). You can post them any time between now and them. Feel free to post them in the community I made for the challenge black_dress_lex, or if not, please post a link there.

6. Have a Lexian good time! :)

It's a pressure free challenge. Visit black_dress_lex to sign up. Please pimp! And if someone artistic wants to volunteer to spruce up the layout of the community, I would not say no! *g*
