No time! There's never any time!!1*

My BFF [livejournal.com profile] lazy_daze, who's in Supernatural fandom, has always said that hiatus was her favourite time to be in fandom because getting new canon every week is kind of stressful. I never really understood that before - hiatus is self-evidently long and agonising! - but now that we're eleven days away from getting series four, I TOTALLY GET IT.

I have a bunch of fic ideas in my head for stories set post-series three, and now I feel like if I can't write them in the next eleven days I'll never be able to write them at all, what with imminent jossing from new canon. There's this one Katie/Emily/Naomi fic that's been floating around my head for months (a long sequel to this ficlet), but now it's never going to happen unless I go AU, and I'm not really a fan of AUs that just disregard bits of canon. :( But I am going to try and get a Katie/Effy fic done before the next series starts; I've written post-series three K/E a couple of times now but I don't think I've ever quite got it right, so I'm going to try and change that. You know, before it's too late. ;)

BTW, shameless pimping: I'm still offering to write Skins fic for [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti here, if you want to bid. There's also a list of other people offering Skins stuff here. :D


*I feel like I use this reference a lot. Just as well it NEVER GETS OLD.

Ah, thanks! Honestly, I do really want to write the K/E/N fic but I know it'll be jossed by series four. Plus I've tried to write it before and it didn't really work for whatever reason. Hopefully the Katie/Effy will be more successful!
