You may or may not have read my summary of the two NCIS fics that I finally decided to give up on. (Here if you care: https://hackey-mcslashy.livejournal.com/53561.html) In it I mentioned that I had 4 WiPs for NCIS on the go and I was giving up on 2 of them. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm giving up on another one ( Read more... )

I presume that a fair amount of LJ-ers have AO3 accounts, much like most everyone has FF.net accounts. I was wondering if the AO3 comm is any better/different to LJ/FF? I find it weird that they're still in beta after 7/8 years, and I've always been wary of adding my name to a waiting list to be invited to join a website. It seems strange to me ( Read more... )

I had the feeling about a week ago for about 2 hours that I was capable and ready to get back into writing properly. I managed one chapter on one story and, while it has pushed the plot along significantly, it's not exactly War and Peace in terms of length. I have, however, been getting story ideas late at night again - it's a frustrating habit of ( Read more... )

So it's a new year. I'm not one for pretending like a new year means I'm going to magically change everything flawed about who I am and how I do business. I am, however, realising that my fic rate is down to about one completed story every year and that's really not so good. As I've mentioned before, the fandoms I'm into lately (Musketeers, ( Read more... )

You may or may not recall (if you even exist and I'm not just shouting into the void, but that's an existential crisis you need to have with yourself and maybe a priest) that I complained not so long ago about forgetting what it was I wanted to complain about. Well, I've been reading a few fanfics tonight and I remembered ( Read more... )

I'm getting some writing done, because obviously when I have actual academic work to do, that's when the Muses decide it's playtime. I've noticed that I seem to have developed an undiscovered fetish for sleep. Every time anyone in my story is having an emotionally trying scene, it ends with them sleeping - usually on or with their romantic interest ( Read more... )

This is an odd one. There is a fic series I'm following that I'm pretty much in love with at this point. It's the kind of universe/story that you keep thinking about even in day-to-day life (and yes it does feature some very well written sex). The author says they are open to prompts for this world, and I have had a few ideas. The rub is that the ( Read more... )

Ok, so you may be aware of my newish love of BBC's The Musketeers. I've been toying with the idea of getting into the writing side of the fandom. I have a couple of ideas that keep bouncing around my head. They pop up when things are quiet in my head, and I always say I'll write them down when I'm next on my laptop. Problem is, every time I get ( Read more... )

I am, it seems, hiding from one of my own stories. It's a weird thing to do, granted. I've made a decision about something that has to happen in a story in order for it to move forward - in truth I made this decision about a year ago. Trouble is, now I'm at the point in the story where the thing I decided upon needs to start happening, and it turns ( Read more... )
