Dammit, So You Think You Can Dance!

[raeschae]

I honestly don't know the first thing about formal dance, but there is no show on television right now that I love more than Fox's So You Think You Can Dance. God, it's like a shot of 'feel-good, must-see TV' right in the middle of the week, and something about it makes me smile in every episode.

My only complaint is that every friggin' year, someone choreographs a contemporary piece to a song that I have never heard, but that will NEVER get the hell out of my head ever again. Last year, it was Gravity by Sara Bareilles.

This year, it's Christina Perri's

Dammit, now I want to write an angsty, tear-your-heart apart song fic.



So I've been thinking about this a lot lately, guys, and trying to come up with something new for you in this verse. The problem is that I'm not sure there's any part of the guys' story that I haven't told at this point. I'm thinking, unless I get slapped with some serious inspiration between now and then, that I'm going to start working on the Brayden future!fic that will round out the epic tale of skater boys and tattoo gods after I post my Big Bang in mid-July.

That's not to say that I'm not going to do the occasional comment fic or even fill something in somewhere down the road, but for now, I'm just running out of ideas. I feel like everything I come up with now is just a variation on something I've already done with them in that verse, and I would rather put it to bed than let it become boring (to read and write).

At this point, I don't know - I haven't made any final decisions. I'm trying to let it marinate without getting frustrated at this point. Cross your fingers - maybe I'll magically come up with something soon. Who knows.



Alright, I should really get back to work and stop rambling. Only eight days until vacation. Only eight days until vacation. Only eight days . . .

Oh no ! Don't get me wrong, I love Brayden, but for me he's not the main character. Unless it is a new way to explore another time in the Js life... I really trust you on this one, but yeah for me the Disclaimer!verse will always be the relationship between Jared and Jensen.
Brayden is a great addition and a vital one, but he's still a secondary characters in my mind.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

No worries - regardless of how much the story focuses on what's going on with Brayden, it will always be about how the guys deal with what's going on with Brayden. I'm right there with ya - the story's always been about them for me.

That's why i told you I trusted you ;o) We're on the same page.

I wouldn't push it, love. I think you have more than just one verse in your head. Maybe it's time to look at pastures new and one day you'll be able to return fresh to these boys.

[live-laugh-love.livejournal.com]

any future fic would have to include J2 in some way, so it would be good. And I like all your stuff, not just Disclaimer, so I'm not worried. I can't wait to see your big bang - I didn't realize you had one.

Vacation is always a good thing! I go on vacation in 23 days. Wow. I thought I had longer than that!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

There will definitely be a LOT of the Disclaimer boys in the final story - how could I just leave them out? It's their world, after all.

My Big Bang goes up on July 15, right in the middle of my vacation. It's certainly not Disclaimer, but I hope people will like it anyway.

1-I'm so glad someone else has this problem with SYTYCD! :D I feel way less geeky now.
P.S. I HEART KENT TO PIECES
I'm also really glad that Neil H Is one of the all stars *fans face* HOMG.

2- I think I will take whatever you want to give us of more Disclaimer people. I love ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the boys and girls included and will bounce and throw confetti for however much else you want to give us :D

YAAAAY For vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Oh, Kent. I did love him to pieces - last week he kind of got on my nerves, but I don't think it's his fault. I think it has more to do with the fact that he was making that goof face with my beautiful Allison, and it was distracting!

Hi, its me again..anonymous..the comment fic one?:)

Gosh, when I read this post I kind of felt like my heart was breaking a little..I really feel attached to the disclaimer boys and when this verse finally comes to an end, it'll be like having to say final goodbyes to some really great friends that I'll never see again..

I think I'll always have a special place for the disclaimer boys..they truly are my favourite Js in this entire fandom!

So thank you for sharing them with us for as long as you did. Hopefully it won't be the end just yet but if it is i'm sure you'll send them off in true disclaimer fashion and it'll be great:)

Have a great vacation!

My favorite anonymous commenter! :)

I'm not saying that the boys are done for good - and even if I write the "final" fic, there's always a chance they'll still pop in for holidays and sent cards for birthdays and whatnot.

But when I do send them off, you can be assured they will go out in grand fashion!

[jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com]

What ever you write I will read.
Especially if it is angsty tear-your-heart-out song fic. hint, hint. You know you wanna.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I really do kinda wanna, but if I do it, there probably won't be a happy ending. :(

[jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com]

Whadya mean no happy ending?
There has to be! I am too much of an enormous woobie girl to read something that makes me cry!

[vamous.livejournal.com]

I so agree with you ref Jar of Hearts. Just had to buy it actually, after days of the name keep popping into my head.

Think SYTYCD is great this year.

Look forward to reading anything you right to be honest.

[vamous.livejournal.com]

That would be write!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I'm loving it this year, too! And I will probably give in to buying the song, because I think YouTube is probably sick of me playing it over and over and over and over again. :)

So... On one hand, I want to freak out because, end of the disclaimer verse? That's heartbreaking.

On the other hand, the logical part of me says that it's not such a bad idea. The last thing you want is to draw it out. Remember those sixteen hundred seasons of buffy? Or when they kept doing One Tree Hill without Lucas and Peyton? And don't even get me started on Smallville. So I think when you run out of good ideas, go out with a bang instead of dying slowly, and not even remembering why you loved it so much in the first place because it's become this insane convoluted thing. I'm not saying that it's anywhere close to that now, but I think that would be worse than having it fade out nicely.

Also, I'm totally hopped up on cough syrup, so if I'm actually making any sort of sense... Don't expect it to last. ;)

Vacation? Fun!! Where to?

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way - I don't want to force what isn't there just because people like it. Oh, God, it will not turn into whatever has happened to OTH. It will not!

I hope you feel better soon!!!!!

(I'll be going to visit the family in St. Louis for a few days.)

[plasticine-star.livejournal.com]

I don't watch that show but I did like the song. ;)

Well, you know I adore your boys and if you feel that it's time for the final story then it's time. All I know is that I'm going to read anything else you write. Especially your big bang.



Yay! vacation. \o/

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I love that show. Too much for it to be healthy, I think.

I'm glad you liked the song, though - apparently, a lot of people did. It went from not even being listed on iTunes, to being the #7 song on their pop charts overnight when the show aired. It was also the #1, 2, and 11 most-Googled topic the day after, so I guess I'm not alone in thinking it was a stand out.

I haven't made any final decisions on Disclaimer yet - I think there's a part of me that doesn't want to let it go, but another part that thinks that's a shitty reason for dragging it out when I have no new ideas for them. Big Bang goes up next week, and I'm currently working on something that's not exactly porn, but includes a lot of nudity and schmoop. My goal is to get it posted later today, but we'll see.

And I agree 100% - YAY VACATION!
