So it seems my writing brain needs far too much in the way of backstory to be able to write only three sentences, so...

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's ( Read more... )

MORE OF YOUR COTTAGE AU!!!! (But no cows, please. Other livestock is OK) I don't care how far into the future, really, but every time I re-read that fic series I just want to keep reading MOAR! I want to see how they are doing years and years later.
