Hey, folks -- I had intended to post my commentary review and analytical meta on Sam, Interrupted well before this, but I'm afraid now it won't be up until after Swap Meat airs. I lost the weekend to a virus: well, it was actually two trojans (Artemis and MSFakeAlert), and while I got everything cleaned up and running sweetly again late on Sunday (thanks, Terri!), I was out a lot of writing time. Work didn't help, because things got very crunchy this week and have been running into overtime, especially since my boss has been out sick and I've been acting branch chief as well as chief bottle washer.
But I am writing and it will be done, on Earth as it is in TV-land ... As proof, here's a teaser:
Wraith marinating mad brains

Happy New Year, folks!
Sorry I've been away so long; I promise to try not to make a habit of that. I finally managed to blow the dust off my writing, something I really wasn't able to do during the prolonged remodeling work on my house. (It's hard to write when you can't sit in your own house, spread out your research materials, and dive in ...) Now that the remodeling is done, I get to work at home at last! Here is my much-delayed ninth entry in the sequence of stories I began this past summer, intending to write one story for each year of the Impala's existence, linking the Impala and her owners with real-world history. I still intend to keep the story going; it's just going to take a lot longer ... *wry grin*

Title: April 30, 1975: Shelter From The Storm (Chapter 9/43 of Forty-Three Years in a Life)
Characters/Pairings: John/Mary
Words: ~1400

This is coming a little late for Christmas, but a metal artist in British Columbia took one of my photographs and rendered it into wall art. Although I'd commissioned it as a custom design, I told her to go ahead and add it to her gallery, so anyone who wants to order one (or more!) could get them.
( See the art, if you so choose! )
Want one of your own? Go to www.senametalarts.webs.com! Check out the Gallery, and you'll find two versions of this wall art available. Contact Senada through the website if you'd like to buy one or more. She will sell copies for $40 Canadian, plus shipping. I hope folk enjoy these!
After Thursday night, I'll be mostly (but not entirely!) offline until a few days after Christmas; then I will be very much back. Have a lovely holiday season, and I'll drop by and try to comment and respond to comments whenever I can even while I'm on the road.

And -- that's a wrap for episode commentary in 2009! I hope to be back with fic before the show starts airing again, and I truly hope that the insanity in my life calms down a little so I can be more timely with these posts. Happy Holidays to all!!

Apologies for the lengthy delay in getting this one up. My hopes for the new year include less schedule insanity in my real life, to better enable my fantasy one!
I'm finally making my own icons, sometimes. Many thanks to raloria , who cued me into the delights of www.picnik.com and who posts the most delightful screencaps to start from!
And ... on to the meta commentary and production notes ...

Ooooh -- thanks for all the sweet snowflake cookies,cuddlyscorpio, tkid_firefly, tkf2009, alleysweeper, pinkphoenix1985raloria, fannishliss, and catdancerz !
I do promise to put up a very, very long commentary on Abandon All Hope real soon now. I've just been ... overwhelmed. (Work's insane. House is almost done -- just one ceiling repaint left! And it snowed, even -- none of it's left in DC, but the three inches my place got are still hanging around.) Anyway, I've only had scattered hours to think and write, none of my normal dedicated time. I apologize to everyone waiting for it; it will be coming, really!

Okay, folks: I promised behind-the-scenes photos from my visits to two separate locations during shooting on Supernatural episode 5.06, I Believe the Children Are Our Future, after the episode aired. I finally got them posted. The two different locations are in separate album slideshows over on my Photobucket account.
You can see the pictures from the location for the house where the babysitter died over here.
You can see the pictures from the house used for both Jesse's house and Julia's house over here.
The first one includes shots of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles during shooting and between takes. I don't have any shots of the boys at the second location (we were asked not to shoot once they were working), but I went a little wild and crazy with the Impalas. *grin*
I wrote up the experience here earlier. There are more specific details included in the descriptions on the photos in the Photobucket albums.
No hotlinking, please. All images are Copyright 2009 Bardicvoice. Enjoy!!
