Remember, remember the fifth of...wait, wrong month!

[kelleigh]

Days and dates are not coming easily to me right now! Obviously, the last few months since I moved to Arizona have been their own brand of crazy, but the next few weeks are going to be special.

First off, I hope everyone going to WinCon and ChiCon has a blast! So many awesome people in one place, I'm totally jealous, but I have awesome plans of my own that weekend that cannot be changed :-) I'm expecting STORIES AND PICTURES AND FUN TIMES from y'all, okay?

Let's see...NEWS! Other than the fact that Randy Moss was traded from the Patriots, because what. the. fuck?

I joined the mod staff at spnroundtable and I'm so excited! Currently I'm doing the monthly roundtable themes, so if there's ever something you wanted to see presented, let me know. It's an awesome group to be a part of, though, and my fandom love has gone through the roof lately!

There are totally projects in the works! I have a random, out-of-the-blue J2 AU I've been working on for a few weeks, and it involves FARMERS. Yeah, I know. But it's currently over 11,000 words long and hopefully I'll get it wrapped up before 20K! A little angstier than my usual fare, and the characters are totally new for me, especially Jensen, but it's been awesome to write. Have a snippet!

Jensen stops with moist dirt all over his arms. He feels every speck of it on his fingers, under his nails where it's gotten into his gloves.

"My dad told me what you were like when you got here," Jared says. "That you were desperate."

Everything's decaying right in front of him—life reduced to its simplest compounds under the sun, at the mercy of the elements. Those same forces haven't spared Jensen. He's been stripped down to will and instinct and need.

"I've known guys like you." Jared's voice drops lower, out of place in the sun-drenched afternoon. "You get hooked on something, mess your life up for a little while. And you come out here looking for penance or looking to forget about your problems. But soon enough they're gonna follow you and it's only a matter of time until you fuck up again—"

So, with that story planned for October, that leaves November for the CSI 'VERSE!. I know, you probably thought I'd forgotten all about it, but that's so far from the truth! I think about it, a lot ;-) In fact, there's a whole binder full of "thoughts", you might say. The plot and scope is huge, and there are some big surprises! Have another snippet...

Jared lets a breath go. "There's no talking in charades."

Kissing Jared is an addiction Jensen would plead to in court, the healthiest dependence in his bullet-riddled lifestyle. Something about the way Jared moves his tongue, matching Jensen's every move. And the sounds...throaty purrs, vibrations across Jensen's palate; long, satisfied groans from belly-deep; breathy accents and soft tones. They create a new language for Jensen to study.

Jared's long arms find their place around Jensen's lower back, squeezing once as they come out of the kiss, and he smiles.

"I'm not getting dirty from this."

"Shut up," Jensen urges, and slides down to his knees.

In addition to those two major projects, I still have a veteran!Jared/exec!Jensen story at 9,000 words, plus some of my spn_j2_xmas fic already written and thought out. I got lucky with my assignment because it's a story (perhaps, a sequel...?) that I've wanted to get to for a long time, and I think y'all might be pleasantly surprised! No clues other than that, but I welcome guesses ;-) And then there's a Sam/Dean season 2-ish fic that I've been DYING to write, even though I have no idea how it turns out. The idea involves supernatural!amnesia, Crowley, black stockings, and Sam-on-a-mission!

So, lots in the works, as you can see! Back to work...

You are a lying liar of the highest lying court. And now I'm gonna hold you to the statement of this fic coming in November :-P

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

HOW AM I A LYING LIAR? I do think about it. It's those damn fucking farmers getting in the way, is what it is! And I never said I'd POST it in November, just that I'd be working on it ;)

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

BUT WHEN I ASK YOU'RE ALL ~OH NOES I CAN'T WRITE THIS~

AND DON'T YELL AT THE FARMERS. I PARTICULARLY LOVE THOSE FARMERS. THEY HAVE A TINY CORNER OF MY COLD, DEAD HEART.

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

I can't because I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck at it! But I have tried -- there are WORDS, OKAY?

Yeah, I'm gonna blame the farmers if I want because they're MY farmers and they're a struggle to deal with! THEY RUIN EVERYTHING.

Let's see...NEWS! Other than the fact that Randy Moss was traded from the Patriots, because what. the. fuck?

Totally seconding the WTF feeling over here...

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? I mean, I know he hasn't be instrumental this season like he was when we went 19-0, but still. It's RANDY MOSS. If it were Wes Welker, that'd be me on the floor, crying.

[tarotemp.livejournal.com]

OMG I don't even want to think about Wes Welker ever leaving. That injury at the end of last season was scary enough!!!

[plasticine-star.livejournal.com]

Farmers? O.o are there overalls involved? straw hats? or is this a porny shirtless farmer type thing? ;D

CSI"Verse! \o/ I love love love that verse so I'm happy to know that you haven't forgotten about that one.

All the other stories sound interesting too so yay for them too.

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

Everyone has such an antiquated view of farmers :) It's sweet! I'm sure someone in the fic is wearing overalls at some point, but neither Jared nor Jensen, sorry! And for some reason it's not porny. YET.

I could never forget about CSI -- I don't think anyone would LET me forget about it ♥

Jesus CHRIST how low are his jeans? *stares unblinkingly at icon*

[matalinolukaret.livejournal.com]

I WANT ALL OF THIS. NOW. OR WHEN YOU CAN FINISH THEM.

*sits in a corner and stares*

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you pretend to be all patient until BAM! You're attacking me on Twitter demanding fic! I know better than to trust that innocent face o' yours!

[matalinolukaret.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I merely give you encouragement. :D

[tinalia.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR FIC!!

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

It's such a YAY thing, especially when there's potentially so much of it! ♥

[tinalia.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR SO MUCH FIC! XD

[princesslanie.livejournal.com]

glad to see you around. have fun this weekend. i can't wait for the stories the new ones as well as csi.

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

Thanks, bb! ♥ The next few weekends ought to be a great distraction from the craziness of work. Glad you're looking forward to the fics, I'm looking forward to finishing them ;)

[superwicked.livejournal.com]

I can't wait for the FARMERS!!! Ask Joan, I'm crazy in love with farmers! And that snippet that you gave us just made me want MORE!

And I'm finally going to finish reading the CSI!verse this weekend since time also haven't been on my side and I'm taking the weekend off to read and do nothing else.

Good luck with all your writing, I love hearing about all the good stuff that's coming our way! ♥

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

The idea hit me when I was listening to a bad country song! Ended up as the title, too! And then I realized I'd written farmers, in a sense, before with my Zimbabwe story, so I guess I'm a little in love with them too ♥

When y'all are excited, I'm excited!

[joans23.livejournal.com]

I want FARMERS and CSI and just ANY DAMN THING KELS WRITES!!! These snippets make me so damn excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Work, work, work!!!!! <333333!

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

FARMERS! You don't even know, Joan! It's more like the Africa stories than some hay-ride, overall-wearing epic. Angsty -- drug use and hating each other and violence. But I like these boys and the way they're coming together.

CSI IN NOVEMBER. Y'ALL CANNOT LET ME GET SIDETRACKED WITH ANYTHING!

[akintay.livejournal.com]

The snippets sound awesome :D :D :D

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

\o/ I'd hoped they'd pique y'alls interest :)

CSI : VERSE !!

[la-sigh.livejournal.com]

Just found and so enjoyed CSI: verse !! Wonderful work, love the characters and sooooooooooo glad to hear you will be giving us more and not letting us hang in cliffhanger breathlessness forever !!
Thank You !!!

Re: CSI : VERSE !!

[kelleigh.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it! There's definitely more on the way but it's a longer story than any of the others so it's taking some time, not to mention other J2 projects ;) But never fear, it'll end eventually. Thanks for the comment ♥
