me too!

I see by a quick skim of my flist that it is SPN's birthday and people are posting about their entry into fandom. I went back and looked, and on Marc 31, 2006, I posted this:

uncle. uncle. uncle.

Ok, fuck it. I give.

There's only so much I can take, and a flist that includes [livejournal.com profile] callsigns whimpering "jared padalecki half-naked in a towel. JARED padalecki half-naked in a towel. jared PADALECKI half-naked in a towel. jared padalecki HALF-naked in a towel. jared padalecki half-NAKED NAKED NAKED in a towel. jared padalecki half-naked in a motherfucking towel." followed by [livejournal.com profile] liz_w's "Speaking of WB shows, Jared Padelecki was MOSTLY NAKED on my TV last night" and [livejournal.com profile] unholyglee's open letter to Jared's hip bones, and I'm ONLY HUMAN.

Ok, A, send the tapes/downloads/whatever. This is me, caving.

What? I never said I wasn't shallow...


The flist leapt into action and I had burned episodes in my mailbox in a week and I managed to watch the entire season in time to see the S1 finale live. The first fic (J2 counts, right?) followed soon after, a PWP co-written with [personal profile] without_me and then a second one, which ended up being a crossover with Angel also enabled by and co-written with [personal profile] without_me. Then we dragged [personal profile] withdiamonds into the madness and 4 Big Bangs (and 40-ish other stories) later, here we are, and whatever else, the rush of actually writing a Big Bang-length fic on my own is still one of the coolest things out there.
