Things to do during the hiatus ...

[galathea]

I hope you all have somewhat recovered from the finale by now. *g* Personally, I loved it. I mean, okay, I have a couple of quibbles, especially with Let It Bleed, which has been less engaging overall for me than The Man Who Knew Too Much, but overall I am satisfied with the resolutions presented in the finale episodes. I have to say that I adored all things Sam in particular, my Sam love knows no bounds at the moment. ♥ In any case, it’s a tad inconvenient that both episodes aired after another, because I feel that it is more difficult to write a review if I cannot focus on one episode alone. My thoughts jump from one episode to the other and it’s all a bit jumbled at the moment. I will try to get these reviews done as fast as possible though.

Now, once these reviews are done, I am faced with the rest of the hiatus and my list of fannish things to do is quite long. However, I have no clue where to start, so I thought I’d ask you all what you would prefer to see in this journal in the upcoming months. So, here is a little poll for you:

Fanart, fanart, fanart!!! I miss your walls so much hon, I hope you manage to get some inspiration *hugs*

ROFL well, this past year a lot of ideas have been piling up. Obviously that's no guarantee that any of them will work out, but if at least half a dozen of them would find their way on a canvas, I would be happy. LOL

LMAO! You beat me too it Nikki! I want to vote for fanart 3 times compared to the other items that I voted for.

I kind of picked everything but icons. Oops! :p Man though, no review for SS?! And I'd be interested to see your thoughts on the fairy episode and Caged Heat as well, although Caged Heat especially it'd be nice if you could just block the later developments from your mind, since I'm curious as to what your ORIGINAL thoughts were, before you knew Crowley was not really dead, etc! ;)

Oh, don't worry. I have extensive notes for all those episodes - notes I took right after the episodes aired - and I will base my reviews on these notes and will leave hindsight out of it! Good parts of these reviews are already written, too. So you will definitely get my original thoughts. :)

re SS: Yeah well, the problem is, I have 10 (!) pages of notes on Swan Song. Whenever I open that document I am intimidated and close it again. LOL

Fanart is number one on my list of tasks to make you do!

But I would also like to see your thoughts on Swan Song (you liked it right, because I liked it too.) And a season long meta is always good thing!

[galathea-snb.livejournal.com]

Heh, I figured as much.

I absolutely love Swan Song. In fact, it's one of my favourite Supernatural episodes ever. The only reason why I didn't write the review yet is because I am intimidated by the amount of notes I have on the episode. I guess it's time to sort through them. :)

LOL, well, I don't love Swan Song enough to even rank it in my faves. But out that season it was a good finale to the storyline. I find it odd how many people hated the episode though.

I know how you feel about notes being overwhelming to the point of not doing anything. At least you have the notes. I got very sporadic in even doing notes in the past years. Which is a shame because I love reading any old notes I have. They often feel like a different more intelligent person than me wrote them.

I find it odd how many people hated the episode though.

Given all the wonderful Sam and Dean stuff in the episode, I was surprised as well, but a lot of fans expected something else entirely - some epic angelic fight and whatnot. And people always tend to hate when their expectations are not met.

I always make sure to take notes, but then, I always write reviews, or well, at least intent to, even if sometimes time restraints come in between me and my fannish activities. So taking notes is kind of a necessity. If I wouldn't feel the pressure to get a review out within the week, I'd probably be way more lazy where taking notes is concerned as well. LOL
