It's been quite a week, what with fics for THREE f-list birthday ladies (wenchpixie, tyrical and fiddleyoumust). mini_wrimo and you November-birthday people have been keeping me busy.

I spent last weekend doing the matrix and emailing for the pbfic_exchange2 Round 3, and what a head-breaker of a chore that was. 25 authors! Unsual prompts! And clex_monkie89 isn't doing this one, which removed some opportunity. Thank goodness we have so many versatile writers still in this round.

I've started the morning with a headache (working at home with the kids underfoot doesn't help), and sealed the deal by reading the last few chapters of "The Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane." Yes, the various adventures of a toy china rabbit made me cry this morning. I wanted my daughter (age 9) to read this book, and she bailed out at Chapter 5. Maybe that's all for the best. Ow, ow, ow!

On to Supernatural, the center of most of our minds today anyway...

Mixed feelings on this episode-- most of my f-list loved it more than I did, and it was a little flat overall (the writing) spreckled with pieces of awesome.

We got off on a discussion in someone else’s journal, namely the issue of how people see PapaJohn (Devoted! Heartless! Misguided! Evil! Well-Intentioned-But-Flawed!), and whether it is primarily SamGirls or DeanGirls who are defenders of PapaJohn.

That led to this mini-meta on the characters. First and foremost, let me say that I am a DeanGirl more than a SamGirl. And yet, I do not believe PapaJohn is unwaveringly correct despite what Dean might often tend to think.
