Inspired by another thread by HensTeeth44, here is a thread for lovers of fan fiction either writer or just an avid reader.

I do have some unfinished Harry Potter fan fic to share but I'm at working at the moment.

Dont be afraid to share your favourites.

Speaking of stuck.

I think the hamster inside my head that powers my ideas has gone on strike.

I'm not feeling writing at the minute. I know what I need to write -it's not exactly writers block but I'm procrastinating big time.

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 23/05/2021 22:16

I'm happy to poke you all, if that would be any good. I can't really write this week until I get my portfolio cracked, I just can't afford the time, but it would be good to at least help other people along.

Interested in this thread?

@Icantreachthepretzels

I know what you mean. It's like you just haven't got the mental energy to use on it.

Anyway. It's the morning after Lucius and Cassie first shared a bed for the first time and I just coming up blank on it.

I've got the immediate wake up written but no further forward.

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 23/05/2021 22:47

How did it go? I take it the beast with two backs was not yet made? What was the spur for them to share?

MrsGulDukat · 23/05/2021 22:51

He had the shit kicked out of him as punishment and Cassie took care of him. He asked her stay so she did.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 23/05/2021 22:55

Hmmm. So Cassie's in a "well that wasn't as awful as I thought" headspace and Lucius is all hurty? Does he have any awareness of what it might cost her to stay there if the trust isn't yet there?

I'm presuming they'd retreat to their corners but they'd have to come back together to talk about "what next", ostensibly the Ministry but subtexty them?

MrsGulDukat · 23/05/2021 23:02

Lucius is vulnerable emotionally and Cassie is feeling confused by what she feels.

I cant imagine them sharing a bed the next night as Cassie was reluctant to actually do it. Especially since they woke up entangled together.

They have a brief moment of awkward feeliness after the wake up together and that's where I've hit the wall.

OP posts:
Icantreachthepretzels · 24/05/2021 00:03

I think retreat and a bit of introspection. Cassie will probably go and bake her feelings away. Lucius will take himself somewhere quiet and try to rebuild his pride. I think he'll be colder with her after she's seen him so vulnerable - once he's got his defences back up. And the fact that she's upset he;s being standoffish will only make her more confused.

I've got tomorrows chapter written now. I think Sirius breaks out of Azkaban in the next one. Word count permitting.

MrsGulDukat · 24/05/2021 10:15

I'll continue writing it later. Although I'll probably be too tired after work.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 24/05/2021 20:41

Nope! No writing for me today. Still eyeball deep in stupid course portfolio :(

I think Sirius breaks out of Azkaban in the next one. Word count permitting.

I love the idea that if you go over, he just has to stay. Grin

MrsGulDukat · 24/05/2021 20:44

No writing for me either.

I'm playing Mass Effect 3 and nearly a decade later it still makes me tear up.

OP posts:
Icantreachthepretzels · 24/05/2021 21:47

Well he does! I like my chapters to all be of a similar length. If he can't get out in under 4000 words then he'll just have to wait for the chapter break and try again.

MrsGulDukat · 24/05/2021 22:22

Now I imagine an impatient Sirius drumming his fingers impatiently as he wants for a more convenient moment to escape.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 24/05/2021 22:32

Now I'm half-writing another fic mentally of the characters sitting around moaning about how writers can't get their shit together to make things happen on time Grin

Poor Beth and Townes of the Queen's Gambit are currently stuck on Beth's sofa while I sort the rest of my life out. They must be getting bored (and hungry).

MrsGulDukat · 24/05/2021 22:35

I've got dozens of characters waiting around for me to write something.

OP posts:
Icantreachthepretzels · 24/05/2021 22:50

Look - if Sirius is going to get so bogged down in introspection and angsting over Remus that he can't manage his stealthy escape plan within a decent word count that is not my fault Grin It's entirely up to him how quickly he does it - I'm all for a quick action scene...but if he wants to spend time reminiscing about all the hand shandies before he gets his ass out of the door then that is entirely on him.

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 24/05/2021 22:54

First the damp wank, and now Sirius is too busy mentally bashing the bishop to escape from Azkaban. Are you mean or what?

Icantreachthepretzels · 24/05/2021 23:13

The boys' thoughts go where they take them. I'm not in control here. They are ...and they really like to think about wanking each other off.

Icantreachthepretzels · 24/05/2021 23:30

Hmmm - looking at where the word count is now, I don't think he's going to make it. Not because he's too busy reliving his finest erotic moments (he isn't actually on page at the moment) I just think there's too many pieces to move.

I think I'm looking at two shortish chapters - this one where he realises he needs to escape, and then the next one will be entirely his daring prison break.

MrsGulDukat · 25/05/2021 08:35

Well it's more hand shandies for Sirius then.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 25/05/2021 08:43

Are the Dementors keen on those thoughts? Or is a lesser-known method of fending them off to keep a porn track playing in your mind at all times?

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 25/05/2021 08:44

...Number 41 in Questions Only The Sick Mind of a Fanfic Writer Would Think Of.

MrsGulDukat · 25/05/2021 09:36

Dementors could be perverts for all we know.

Like voyuers.

OP posts:
Icantreachthepretzels · 25/05/2021 12:19

Oh God- the dementors love the sex thoughts, of course they do. Remus had a dream a couple of chapters back about him and Sirius and that brought so many dementors to his door that he spent the rest of the chapter screaming in pain.

Anything that's happy gets the dementors going - part of the tragedy of their separation is that they can't even think about each other. But they can't control their thoughts when they go to sleep.
