Riding on my festivids based yay-for-challenges-I-can-do-anything high, I signed up for spn_j2_bigbang. Guys, I've never written anything over 7k! Maybe I should have played it safe and signed up to do a vid instead of writing?

The primary thing keeping me sane is that I actually have an idea for what I'm going to write and it is a plot bunny that I ADORE. I considered asking someone else to write the idea, but I was also having trouble letting go of the idea myself--which in vidding-land is usually when I decide to make the vid myself rather than foist the bunny off on someone else.

So. Biting the bullet. Going to write 20k+ of adorkable J2 AU!

You guys, I'm so excited! I haven't gotten my assignment yet (and I am most certainly NOT compulsively checking my email to see if it has magically shown up in the least two minutes...) but I'll have it by Friday at the latest.

In the meantime, I've been listening through my iPod and floating ideas for all eight of the fandoms/sources that I offered. I've got at three to nine song ideas for each fandom now!!!

This has been such an awesome mental exercise for me as a vidder. I normally listen to music with my mental-visual filter firmly in place for the fandoms I have vidded for/plan to vid for (BSG, SPN, Buffy-verse, SGA, and Dollhouse). It has been unexpectedly liberating AND exciting to float through all of my music with eight new fandoms in mind. I know I'll narrow it down to one fandom once I get my assignment, but now I'm really excited about all the possibilities for new vids. Particularly the ideas I've had for movie vids, because the source footage is short enough that I could make ALL of those vid bunnies if my energy/muse/time all balances out.

I'm just crazy excited to be this excited about vidding again. I've had a slump for the last couple of months where several bunnies have been bumping around in my head and none of them have quite had the urgency/juice to make it to a completed product.

festivids fucking rocks my muse so far!!!

ETA: I have my assignment and it is aaaaaaaawesome! *FLAIL*
