A post! *shocked gasps!*
What is going on with my fics?! Sometimes I wonder this too. So let's take a look!
My flimsy excuse: Life has been busy. University has kept me running in circles, but also it's summer so there's no more hiding inside from the elements in front of my computer. Social life and travel have also kept me quite busy -- I mean, hey! I'm in France! Gotta ( Read more... )

Ick. I know what you mean. That happens to me all the time, and it's particularly bad at this moment. *stabs our dilemma*
It hasn't worked for me much lately...but can I suggest a few things that usually brought me out of a rut?
a) Listen to music you listened to while writing the early chapters of a fic. This worked man times for some reason or another.
b) Just read really good fic with the same pairing as the one you're writing. More times than not, you'll get inspired. (If you need links, I've got a few DeiSaku fics I favor up my sleeves.)
c) Change your environment. If you usually write just in your living room on the PC, try writing on paper in the backyard. Or if you have a laptop, take it to a coffee shop and relax. You'd be surprised how much the change can effect your writing!
d) Writing early in the morning or super late at night usually brings out the best in my writing abilities, oddly. o_o I can't really understand this phenomenon, either, but I seem to be at my best around 5:30 am, right before I head off to school.
Hope I helped somewhat, and have fun in Europe! :D
