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.

I quite like the idea of throwing Cassie in among the less desirable witches and wizards.

Hope the stomach muscles are behaving Grin

I managed 1800 words last night even though we have a childcare crisis here this week and I didn't get my usual night off from kids. Pleased with self. I never cease to be amazed that no matter how stuck I feel, if I can just sit down and start banging out any old shite, something will start to flow.

MrsGulDukat · 15/06/2021 10:22

I haven't managed anything at all lately.

I've been at work and it's so hot it wrecks my brain.

I've finished my fic - I'm uploading the penultimate chapter tonight. I finished over the weekend but my arms still feel like I've been lifting weights. Typing for hours is brutal! I've not started my new fic yet because I want my muscles to recover first! Maybe I should start warming up before a writing session ...

MrsGulDukat · 15/06/2021 13:05

Fancy ghost writing for me @Icantreachthepretzels

Or maybe just send over some enthusiasm.

My muscles have recovered, I'm going to attempt to start my new fic tonight.

MrsGulDukat · 16/06/2021 20:45

I'm trying to get my Lucius chapter finished.

Gotta write Lucius' "friends" getting fat and pissed on Lucius' money.

Lucius has to keep Bellatrix under control.

Cassie bonds with Snape, a smidgeny bit.

@Icantreachthepretzels - I loved your dog and I'm looking forward to reading the reunion! Smile

BlackLambAndGreyFalcon · 16/06/2021 20:54

Ffs "fic" not "dog"!!!!!

Icantreachthepretzels · 16/06/2021 21:17

@BlackLambAndGreyFalcon - I'm going to post it in a minute. I had a big grin on my face after I wrote the ending!

So, I've written a short first chapter - 2369 words according to the word count. But I might be able to bulk it up to nearer 2500 when I read back through it and add extra stuff I might think of.

MrsGulDukat · 17/06/2021 22:55

Well I'm further with my Lucius fic.

OP posts:
MrsGulDukat · 18/06/2021 22:17

My nerves are bloody frayed.

I need to write something happy.

OP posts:
MrsGulDukat · 21/06/2021 00:25

Yay!

Updated my Lucius fic at last.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 22/06/2021 20:53

Hooray!

The chapters of my QG fic seem to keep getting longer. This one is shaping up to be a solid 5k. only 2 more chapters to go after that, though. I've got quite into the backstory of an OC that I created. It's always hard to know the line with an OC. I've read so many that have turned me straight off.

After I finish this, I have to decide if my next adventure is The Mandalorian or something in the MCU, either Falcon & Winter Soldier or Loki. I kind of want to write some Sam/Bucky slash just to give two fingers to Anthony Mackie.

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 23/06/2021 21:51

Got my chapter up! Closing in on 35k words already on the fic, which for me is a personal record.

MrsGulDukat · 23/06/2021 22:16

Well done @BuffySummersReportingforSanity.

I'm working on another fic atm.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 28/06/2021 13:06

It's my writing night, but I have a cracking migraine hangover from yesterday and can barely string a sentence together Sad

(Am I the only one that sometimes reads my own work for comfort? Sort of a familiarity plus "yes, I am good at this" kind of reassurance thing.)

MrsGulDukat · 28/06/2021 13:27

@BuffySummersReportingforSanity

I read my stuff all the time. It helps me when I'm stuck.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 30/06/2021 22:04

It's decided, my next fic is definitely about Lady Loki. Eeeeeee!

DH is away all of next week and my primary thought (apart from managing the DC) is that I can write EVERY NIGHT.

MrsGulDukat · 30/06/2021 22:20

I'm trying to write a sex scene but things keep distracting me.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 01/07/2021 07:06

Alien sex, or the boring human variety? Grin

How are you @Icantreachthepretzels?

MrsGulDukat · 01/07/2021 07:54

Alien/Human. First time between them.

OP posts:
BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 01/07/2021 07:57

That I'm not sure I can help with. I've always been strictly monospeciessexual.
