Oh my God, so tired.

I'm going to bed soon. Now. Soon. Very soon. This isn't even late for me (3:45), and I slept for 11 hours yesterday, how on earth am I so tired? Gah!

I've got stress on all sides, and I really need to just write some of it out of my head so it stops swirling around up there... possibly not just now though, when I'm practically propping my head up against the wall to keep my head up.

I am still irked because I spent most of the day reading a 27 part Supernatural fic... really, really good, plotty genfic, which is one of the best things about the SPN fandom. I'm all over the slash, het, RPS and Wincest, whatever, doesn't matter, but good GOD, SPN can bring the good gen (this, btw? Not the part that has me irked). I get to part 27, and only then somehow realize that it's a WIP.

I am ALLERGIC to WIP's! Unless I know the author really well or have been following them long enough to trust that they will finish writing the thing, I am just NO. I got burned so many times in LOTRiPS that I finally learned my lesson and gave them up, if only to keep my brain from melting when they get abandoned. And this one's been IP for over a year, so I am now terribly fretful because it's GOOD. This is gonna bug the hell out of me.

Oh god, so tired. Sleeping now.

ETA: The story is In Reverse, by sodakey, and I do really highly recommend it... it's got great characterization, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it all of yesterday... I just want to know what happens NOW! *weeps*. I do not handle cliffhanger moments well at all.

Which one was it? I dislike WIPs too, because I like to read stories in one go, not spread out over weeks or months... but since it sounds very good, I'd like to keep an eye out for it. :-)

It was In Reverse, by sodakey. I really should rec it in the post, I suppose, because I really did enjoy it, and I love long stories, but I like reading them when they're finished!

I'm the same, really, with television... I honestly don't really like showing up every week to watch something. I'm much happier mainlining it all in a few days or so, instead of over a whole season. Supernatural is the first time since the Buffy/Angel days that I have regularly showed up to watch something, instead of just waiting for the DVD seasons.

Thank you for the link! I'll keep an eye on the story and hope she finishes soon... maybe I can hold out till then. :-)

Same here. The only reason I watch every ep of Supernatural as soon as it comes out is because I don't want to be spoiled, and would have to pretty much stop reading LJ altogether if I didn't... otherwise, I'd probably just watch it in sessions every couple of weeks, a quarter of a season at a time. *g*

Are you talking about In Reverse? Because I looked at that and went "27 chapters? It must be finished!" and spent pretty much the whole of yesterday reading it and then NO. NOT FINISHED. So it's now like the fifth WiP I'm waiting for.

Damnit.

YES! And that's what I did too, read it all over yesterday, and oh my word, it really is SO good, and I was loving it and somehow I just totally missed the fact that it was unfinished and now I'm going to be sitting here twitching waiting for each new hit.

I gave up on jonesing for new installments back in the LOTRiPS days, man! I kicked the habit, I stopped chasing the dragon, I'm gonna use a few less drug metaphors now... *snicker*.
