After a drunken dare, award-winning writer Jensen agreed to on a reality television show to vie for the attention of megastar Jared Padalecki who he's had a crush on for years. Only Jensen doesn't know how he's going to be able to tolerate all the other contestants and their widely varying personalities and he's pretty sure that you're not supposed to be able to get used to somebody filming you 24/7.

OMG!! *flails crazily and runs off to read!*

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-06-09 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I ♥ you. Seriously. Like whoa.

Wow!

[identity profile] ellemorgan.livejournal.com 2010-06-10 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I think this plot line is such a good idea! I love how you've characterized Jensen. He's very cute. Kudos!

Re: Wow!

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-06-10 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
=D Thank you! I figure that I've watched enough trashy reality shows by now that maybe I can pull this off? xD

[identity profile] oldbatj.livejournal.com 2010-06-10 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I am soooooo not a REALITY TV person, but this....? This has all the earmarks of a tale I really want to sink my teeth into....!! Absolutely tagging your Master Post to my Favorites list. Give your Muse a big hug for me.

Really loving your shy, introspective Jensen. Never one to beat his own drum obviously. Thought Jared's bemused response to Jensen's simplistic " oh, I write" and the quiet man's awestruck inability to relax around Jared were sweet. Think our 'star' boarder will find Jensen's lack of aggressiveness both charming and intriguing.

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-06-10 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
=D Yay! ...And right now I kind of want to give my muses a kick in the pants but we'll leave that out of it. xD They're totally giving me an idea and then dropping it before I have time to do anything--this is the only thing they've been willing to focus on lately.

And I hope you enjoy it.

Hooray! Goodby Justin. Lita next, por favor. She's a pain in the ass! Jared seems to be pretty awesome, and I wonder if he's really that sweet, or if he's acting a part. Hurry up with the next chapter, please.

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-06-28 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
XD Thank you! I'm glad that you're liking it.

[identity profile] ilookthetype.livejournal.com 2010-06-30 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
what is the posting schedule for this? I am going mad checking every...five seconds, and was wondering if i'm blind and missed it being posted or if there isn't one, or if you could just lie to me and make one up and i'll stop obsessing/stalking...please?

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-06-30 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
=D I'm glad that you're liking it! In the interests of a tentative posting schedule: I had been updating about twice a week, but with the summer semester starting up, I've slowed down a little. It's just whenever I get time now. The best bet is usually on Saturday just because that's the one day a week that I don't have to work but there are no promises with that. ._. I'm sincerely hoping to put up a new chapter every week, though.

Uh... So... Lie to Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DayCrQWJXuI)?

[identity profile] skysha-tranqui.livejournal.com 2010-07-21 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
only just found this y*day but I'm totally in love with it! feel so bad for Jensen though; just reading it gets me eaten up with jealousy, and I doubt I'd be able to hide it as well as you've got Jensen doing!

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-07-23 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
=D Thank you! I doubt that I'd be able to handle a situation like this well either. xD Very cute icon, by the way. =D

Update Soon?

[identity profile] ajolie-1985.livejournal.com 2010-07-23 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I broke my own rules when I started reading this fic. (As a rule, I never read WIPs.) Now i'm hooked and need the rest of this! Please update soon. Jules

Re: Update Soon?

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-07-23 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
=D I'm glad that you like it! Update will up later today. Soon as I can get Chad to shut up so Jared can announce his little winner and then I can get started on Chapter 12. xD

[identity profile] angelicfoodcake.livejournal.com 2010-08-05 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm such a sucker for these kind of fics and really can't await to start reading it :D

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
=D Waiting for me to finish? Can't say as if I blame you. I hate to read WIPs, too. If I hadn't started posting it as a WIP, though, I doubt I would have gotten very far. xD

[identity profile] velfa.livejournal.com 2010-08-05 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I read the latest chapter and ended up looking disbelieving at the missing link for the next chapter! You have to put us out of our misery and update soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally loved the story... you rock!

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
=D Thank you! I'm glad that you're liking it! The next chapter is up.

me again....

[identity profile] ajolie-1985.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
loving this so far. When's the next part coming? Jules

Re: me again....

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
=D Hopefully the next part will be up sometime late this weekend (provided I'm not too hungover to write on Saturday), otherwise, I really don't know. Unfortunately RL is starting to gear up again for the Fall, so I'm having to deal a bit with that.

[identity profile] anneelizabethxo.livejournal.com 2010-10-06 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'm kind of dying here. I sort of really need you to post part 17 & 18.
LOVE the story so far!

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
XD I'm really glad that you like it! I'll try to get to the next chapters as soon as possible. I know, though, that it's definitely not going to be this week.

[identity profile] almne.livejournal.com 2010-10-06 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
This was rec'd on a post on [livejournal.com profile] spnstoryfinders and I just wanted to leave a note that I loved it. For a (very) short time a family member was obsessed with "Rock of Love" (as I described it they got the contestants by driving through the worst trailer park in America waving a $50) and bits of the story involving the cat-fights and so forth had me laughing at how true to "Reality TV" it is. I've added it to my memories and am eagerly waiting for the next part.

Sorry for double comment.

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
=D Thanks so much for telling me!

...I may or may not have based a lot of this on the time I spent watching Rock of Love. xD Thanks for the comment; I'm really hoping to get the next part up soon but with the reverse bang, I don't quite know when that will be.

[identity profile] nagaashi.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
This was... IDEK... OMFG *still flailing* Just finished reading it in one shot... All 16 chapters and I want to reread my favourite parts... OMG... OK *breathes in*

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-10-27 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
o_o That's a lot to read in a one shot go. ...I tend to take it parts, myself. When I'm looking to refresh my memory.

I'm glad that you like it!

[identity profile] iwantboromir.livejournal.com 2010-11-09 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for posting a pdf!

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-11-09 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Not a problem! =D If it helps encourage people to read, I'm all for it! Thanks again, though, to [livejournal.com profile] redteekal for providing the pdf. =)

[identity profile] josieb1.livejournal.com 2010-11-09 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks so much for the word doc download, I have grabbed it for my Kindle. I can't wait to read it.

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-11-09 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I hope that you like it!

[identity profile] sinemetu.livejournal.com 2010-11-09 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry Dragonspell, but I'm kinda disappointed with the ending :C

I think it was too rushed, and nothing really happened after the show ended. You had lots of oppertunities to make something dramatic or good happen afterwards, but you just left them lying. I think you should've done a lot more about the reunion-part as well. It was amusing to read parts of it, but mostly I just felt that you were trying to just get on with it. I love the concept of the story, but you could've done a lot more with it.

But it was a good read, and I've been waiting forever to read the ending. (:

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-11-09 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
=( I'm sorry that I disappointed you with the ending.

I will agree with you that it was a bit rushed--this whole fic has been a bit rushed, actually. It got much bigger than I'd been expecting it to ever be and, yes, in a lot of ways, I really just wanted it to be over with, so I can totally understand how you could get that.

Thank you for your comment.

[identity profile] siriuslyyellow.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't really been commenting, but I LOVE this fic. My friend recc'd it to me the other day, and I am SO glad she did! ^__^* ~ ♥

I even got my sister who reads almost no J2 AU to read this. Haha! XDD

Thanks you so much for all your hard work on this fic. I'm sure that it took a lot of time and effort to put all this together. i just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it.

YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK!!!!! *HUGS*

And now, I'm off to work, and then I'm gonna read the last chapter!

*HAPPY DOLPHIN NOISES* XDD ♥

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-11-13 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
=D Thank you! I'm really glad that you liked it!

This fic pretty much ate my summer, so, yeah. xD I hope that you like the last chapter of it.

[identity profile] bflyw.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I downloaded the Word doc, converted it to mobi for my Kindle, and now I've read the whole thing (took me a while though)

I loved it! Usually, if I have no interrest in re-reading the story, I'll delete it from my Kindle as soon as I've read it, but I think I keep this. This is certainly a story I can re-read in a while. :-)

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-11-13 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
=D Thank you! I'm glad that you like it! And I'm really glad that you think it's good enough for a reread! That's a great honor!

Some people like PDFs and some people like the doc files, so if I provide one, I try to provide both.

[identity profile] flamingolo2.livejournal.com 2010-11-21 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
This was seriously the best fic I've read in a long time! Your Jensen and Jared were just spot on, but I especially love the direction you took with Jensen. He usually just feels a little off to me in fics (not that it really detracts LOL), yet here, he was an adorable blend of shy and confident that seems to fit so fantastically. What an enjoyable way of procrastinating for HOURS and not regretting a second. Looking forward to more from you!

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-11-22 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! =D I'm glad that you liked it. The whole thing was just so that I could have a chance to play with shy!Jensen so I'm glad that you liked him. =D I'm hoping to get a chance to work on the sequel soon, so! Only it will be posted all as one and not a WIP. =)

I can download the word and the PDF file, but when I try to download the PFD with the art file I get a "The website declined to show this webpage HTTP 403 message". Any idea how to fix that?

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2010-12-04 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. I have no idea. o.O I guess try it again here's the link (http://www.mediafire.com/?hrs43u51xnu564t) and see if that works. Because they're all hosted on mediafire so I have no idea why you'd be able to download the first two but not the third (it's working for me and shows 16 downloads since I posted it). If it doesn't work, though, let me know and I can upload to another filehosting site for you.

HOW did I miss that last chapter???? HOOOOOOWWWWWWW??????

[identity profile] dragonspell.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
xD Probably because I sneak posted it in the middle of the Reversebang.
