14.5 hours! And then, SHOW!
Although in my case DH has a meeting and won't be home until a little after nine so I may be watching it on a smidge of delay. Better make sure the DVR is recording!
I'm relatively spoiler-free, and I don't want to be tempted to look today, so do me a favour?
Rec me things you've really enjoyed this summer - specifically, one or two things you did - meta, fic, vid, icons, squee are all fantastic and any genre/type is fine - and one or two things you particularly loved.
There was so much fantastic fic this summer, so much amazing art, so many clever vids and wow the icon-creation was stellar! SO obvioudly, it's hard to narrow it down, but here's two things I've re-read (and I'm leaving out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
poisontaster's Kept Boy WiP as it isn't finished yet and thus isn't technically a hiatus-creation, and setting aside veronamay's BigBang, Better Elsewhere, since I was semi-involved with the process):
A Loaded God Complex from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_summergen by gwendolyngrace, wherein the demon-worshipping cult that John has been tracking chooses Sam’s Middle School as their target. But John doesn’t know that there’s already another investigator on the case. Medium crossover (but pre-series, so not necessary to know anything about Medium).
Into HIs Hand bydrvsilla. Yes, this is the J2 AU set in the rodeo world. I read it on an airplane in June, and it kept me enthralled all the way through, which was utterly unexpected. I had no interest in rodeos and was completely unfamiliar with the world, but this story is just mind-grabbing and heart-aching and intense.
Did I just cheat and put four fics in? : blushes :
When I got my iPhone earlier this summer, I loaded all the vids I've ever made onto it - sometimes, you just want to watch something familiar - and out of everything in every fandom that I made this summer, the one I've watched most is Always Be Closing Night, my encapsulation of the finale of Dean's Deal, set to Intermission by the Scissor Sisters. I watched it again this morning, to get keyed up for S4 OMGOMGOMGSQUEE tonight and I'm still happy with the way it came out, which isn't always how I feel about my vids four months after the fact.
Speaking of "after the fact",deirdre_c knows that I was having issues as to whether my Pina Colada was SPN or J2; when I finished it back in July I was sure that it was SPN crack, but now I am thinking that it's more of a J2 story that just happens to use SPN clips. WIBBLE, I DO NOT KNOW! Maybe I should make a poll...
Meep, kids are up! And SHOW is soooooooooon.
So please, tell me what you especially liked during this hiatus, so I don't go off onto TWoP or the CW forum or that new SPN Spoilers comm and hunt S4 spoilers with a salt-loaded shotfun?
ETA: Speaking of SPN - ( HEEEEEEEE! )
