Guys, guys! I can’t get over the fact that I’m getting a 2 WEEK break! OMFG! 2 weeks of TIME not doing work, yes, there are a few commitments in relating to Christmas and New Years, but that still LEAVES me DAYS where I will have FREE time! GUYS! I may be STRESSING about the upcoming free time. I’m really happy, but you know, FREE TIME!

Moving on; I have been saving and editing Supernatural fics for the past week in an attempt to create a Christmas present for myself. What sort of present are you thinking of, you may ask? Well, I’m attempting to create a compilation of my favourite SPN fics so that I can print it out in a book format (A4 B/W except for the front cover which I want to be in colour, and ring binding because this way I don’t have to worry about breaking the spine).

All compilations/anthologies need some sort of theme to hold it together no matter how flimsy. I want to create a book compiled with fics about Sam and Dean even when the two of them are not physically present. After all this is Supernatural and all roads lead back to SamandDean and their Epic Romance, whether platonic or sexual. At this point in the series it is pretty safe to say that Sam and Dean would do anything for each other, will choose each other over the world. Unbelievably selfish and not so lucky for you and I but their story is the stuff of Legends and Epics (and more than a smidgen of Greek Tragedy).

The whole thing is turning out to be slightly more difficult that I thought it would be as my last count of fics is 28, 80% of the fics are over the 10,000 words mark and somehow a few J2 fics has managed to sneak through. The current plan is to keep editing fics and when I break the 1,000-page mark I’m going to sit down with several pages of story summaries and figure out a theme for the compilation.

The other plan is to print the whole thing out in different colours to signify different categories; Sam/Dean slash, Sam and Dean gen, J2, J2 au, and Outsider POV. Except I find it quite difficult to read on any colour but white. Hmm, I suppose I can always insert a different page colour at the beginning of every category to signify what it will contain... actually that’s not a bad idea.

OK, off to edit fics.
