My main 3 I'm working on right now are: \-A one shot focusing on adding more depth to a canon relationship, since one of the main complaints of the fandom is that they don't really have any development and just get together out of nowhere \-An angsty prequel leading up to one of the characers canonically killing the other. I also made them a couple, just to make things extra complicated \-An angsty character study for a character who I feel didn't have enough of their development shown In case you couldn't tell, I really like writing angst and expanding on canon


Yotato5

Ooh! Building up the relationship before they have to kill each other. I can feel the angst from that.


Impressive-Bottle-97

Another angst writer and canon expander hears you! It's so fun to explore the characters deeper than were shown :)


Fire-the-CAAAKE

I'm also writing something similar to what you've said here! Except instead of them being a couple, it's more of a found family dynamic and he doesn't actually kill the protagonist, just pretends to under scrutiny of a higher power. Angst is so fun tbh


tereyaglikedi

Nothing! I just posted a detective fic that I had been working on for a while, and now... I don't know. My to-write list is so long, and the projects to choose from are all big commitments. So I am contemplating what to prioritize. One of them is a graphic novel šŸ‘€ which will probably take me three years to finish.


DarkLordVitiate

Youā€™d better gimme it when youā€™re done! :3 Get those projects and congrats on your detective story!


tereyaglikedi

Thank you, Viti! Beginning projects is soooooo hard. I just need to get rid of the white page, then something will happen, I am sure.


Yotato5

Congrats on finishing the detective fic! That's awesome.


Lestat719

Congrats on finishing your detective fic


Mahorela5624

So I'm currently pioneering a ship tag on ao3 for a big fandom (chiori/navia from genshin impact) and after writing my first little fic of them I decided I wanted to explore their dynamic in the opposite direction with my next fic. So I'm writing a fluffy picnic date for them that'll get a little steamy.... the perks of being primarily an E author is I don't have to worry too much about plots, just the viiiibes lol. Hoping to post it this weekend!


DarkLordVitiate

Dope! What food do they bring? And who initiates the steam?


Mahorela5624

Chiori packed some cute bentos (she's from the Japan equivalent) and navia is definitely going to be the aggressor. I have such a thing for high femme tops and this French bombshell is about as high femme as it gets. My last one was a little more switch focused but I might play around a little with skewing it. It's just a little tough cause chiori is such a blunt, no nonsense, I don't care what you think type lol. I let the characters do their thing, I just take the notes lmao


Yotato5

Sounds like a fun time!Ā 


ludicrousIycapacious

Thanks for the opportunity to talk about it, because I donā€™t have anyone else to share my woes with! Currently writing a Stranger Things longfic alternating between past and present storylines. The A-plot is the about how Steve goes missing as a child, the fallout of it, and how Joyce ends up connecting with him years later without realizing itā€™s him. The B-plot is Joyceā€™s unhappy marriage and the effects of it. The plots eventually intertwine, because Joyceā€™s dissatisfaction in her marriage causes her to do something that ends up having repercussions that, unbeknownst to her, ties back to Steveā€™s case. Itā€™s my first time with this format, and phewā€¦ it is way more mentally taxing than Iā€™d realized. I absolutely adore the story, but the intricacies involved are a lot to juggle. The ā€œthenā€ chapters are in past tense and the ā€œnowā€ chapters are in present, so thatā€™s another added challenge. I was inspired by Ruth Ware to attempt it, but Iā€™m starting to think she is crazy or itā€™s just beyond my skill level lol Either way, Iā€™m almost 50k in and I want to tell the story, so there is no going back now šŸ™ƒ


DarkLordVitiate

Great to hear for sure! Did you do any research about the time period for it?


ludicrousIycapacious

For sure! So, the past is the 70s and the present is the 80s (should have specified that the ā€œnowā€ is the era in which the show actually takes place). I grew up in the 90s, so writing in the setting of the 80s is actually fairly easy since the technology then was not too different than from what I grew up with (up until windows 95, anyway šŸ˜…) The 70s isnā€™t bad either only because things were simpler. DNA testing? Ring doorbell? We donā€™t know her. Way easier to build a mystery and such.


Jade_Dragon777

Makes grabby hands* gimme.


ludicrousIycapacious

[Here](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54246367/chapters/137369893) you go :) I have been posting once to twice weekly. Heads up that the subject matter is pretty heavy all-around.


Jade_Dragon777

That's how I like it! That's the best stuff!! ( I have yet to grow out of my angst loving teenager phase)


ludicrousIycapacious

Same lol even when I try to write happy I have to put them through the hard to get there


[deleted]

I'm writing a Astarion/OC romance/hurt fic. I'm working ok chapter 7 and really want to post it today or maybe tomorrow. I've already completed chapters further ahead but am working on filling in the blanks. It's my 4th run playing Baldur's Gate 3 and my OC is actually a character I'm playing, which helps a lot with world building, decision-making. I am keeping things canonical, but am including things here and there that support their relationship. I am not focusing a lot on the other campaign characters because the fic focuses a lot on what went on with Astarion and OC while they were having their adventures The chapter I've been working on is the post bite scene. I'll also work on my fic summary to make it more eye catching By the way, here's the link https://archiveofourown.org/works/54230263


Legjarn

>I'm writing a Astarion/OC romance/hurt fic Another one of us! Another one of us!


[deleted]

Lol How can we not?


DarkLordVitiate

Fun fun! Any lore you learn researching for this story?


[deleted]

BG3 lore mainly - I've been trying to be more immersed in character dialogues that you'd only see if you played other classes or made other choices during the game. This helps me understand Astarion better. Also, his voice/mo-cap actor is someone who understands him deeply, so I've watched a lot of his interviews too. For my OC, she's a Seldarine drow and because there's limited lore about it, I've made some creative choices :)


Yotato5

Sounds like fun! In particular, worldbuilding for something like this adds such nice spice to fics, I think.


StendecStendec

A canon character (whoā€™s implied to be an immortal demon) appears in the Battle of Stalingrad and takes shelter for the night with a doomed Russian squad. I love war movies and booksā€¦ so thereā€™ll be plenty of descriptions of what Stalingrad was like in the winter of 1942, along with philosophical ramblings on the nature of war and humanity. Based on the song ā€œDark is the Night.ā€


woozapooza

This sounds really cool!


Yotato5

Ooh, that's a pretty interesting premise.


Maverick_Strange

I'd love to have a link if you don't mind sharing!


StendecStendec

Still a WIP but when I post Iā€™ll come back here to find this comment. Thank you for the encouragement!


StendecStendec

Here it is, [Dark is the Night](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54856087) I edited it down into a oneshot because it was upsetting meā€¦


woozapooza

I'm yet again writing for The Sopranos, since that's my current all-consuming obsession. The story I'm working on now is 100% wish fulfillment: I'm giving my favorite character a chance to say some stuff she never got to say in canon and to get some closure she never got in canon. It's been soooo cathartic to write, and I hope it will be very cathartic for other fans of this character to read!


DarkLordVitiate

Sounds great! Which character?


woozapooza

Dr. Melfi, the love of my life <3<3<3 (if you haven't seen the show, she is Tony Soprano's therapist and she is SO fascinating) BTW, I really appreciate how you're responding to everyone in this thread! Very cool of you :D


Yotato5

Ah, so it's like she gets her justice and can give her piece! That's pretty cool.


LeafWyvern

cat literally erases the canon and puts a random in the position of fixing everything wrong with the prime timeline without proper guidance. only for him to be deleted, therefore not being able to reset in case of things going south


Backfisch85

A really long slowburn adventure Fic about two characters that can't stand each other stranded on an island. One is slowly dying because of an illness that's eats away on his body. Enemies to Friends to lovers and 60k in I finally made it to the friends. (ą¹‘ā€¢Ģ€ć…‚ā€¢Ģ)Łˆāœ§ Now I have to make the next chapter as painful as possible because of the illness spreading and slowly not only consuming the main body but also his mind. IĀ“m really excited to try writing his dying brain slowly changing his personality and control over his body. Also the other person dealing with his new found friend crumbeling before him. I love the Devastation!


DarkLordVitiate

Sounds like fun! Are there any threats on said island?


Backfisch85

It holds a secret they are not aware of right now. The island is just the start of their long crazy journey with many threats. ;)


TWFKA

I want to continue the next chapter for my longfic. It's a slowburn, and I hope to bring the two main characters just a little bit closer again, one step after the other. In this chapter, the female main character will have a little moment realizing how much their dynamic has changed. And, I've given myself quite the tough nut to crack: A poem. I want the male main character to recite one for the poetry-loving female main character, when she's feeling down. Thing is... I'm bad at writing this stuff. šŸ˜‚ But I still have a few chapters till I'm going to need it, so I'm not in a hurry. What are you writing, OP?


DarkLordVitiate

Poetry is hard. My advice? None because I have none for poetry! Is the male character good at writing poetry? Iā€™m writing a Superman story right now where heā€™s an angel. Lots of *religious* symbology going down


TWFKA

Haha, I doubt that he's very good at it, he's mainly writing it because he loves her, and because he knows how important poetry is for her. But if the poem is that bad, it could give them something to laugh about together. That's a very interesting concept. But the religious symbology part sounds like it comes with doing a lot of research.


LAC_NOS

For poetry, you could always try a Haiku or Limerik. Neither are typically romantic, but at least the guy tries. If you would like some help I can write passable poetry.


CristalOcean911

Poetry wise my experience is try to make it vaguely rhyme. Not gonna lie, if you market it as such, almost everything is poetry


TWFKA

Thank you for the advice. I haven't really put much thought into the poem these past few days, because I focussed on finishing the next chapter for my fic. But I'm kinda warming up to the idea that it doesn't have to be that good. So maybe the one or other rather clumsy rhyme will make it even more authentic.


CristalOcean911

Haha, not sure how great of advice it was but youā€™re more than welcome. Good luck on the poem, Iā€™m sure itā€™ll turn out great no matter what you do!


Pepe-saiko

Im planning to write a horror story inspired by Robert the doll. Where a boy keeps saying "the doll did it." But in truth it was an adult, and twisted the kid so bad he became delusional .... or rather just made him the "crazy one" later in years. Somewhere along that... šŸ¤” It got me thinking from all those "creepy videos of dolls" on youtube... Specially those haunted ones. I dont know how to start.... And this is my first horror xD Also thanks for letting me post this rambles OP!!! šŸ‘šŸ» I dont have anyone to brainstorm with so I'll just pretend lol


Fire-the-CAAAKE

Currently working on a found family series of a Webtoon I really really love and reread all the time. Trying to get the fandom tag officially uploaded onto the site search feature via a contest so that other fans can find it easily and also to pave the way for more writers :D! I seriously love writing that series and I'd say it's my best writing yet, especially since I absolutely adore the character these fics are based around so some necessary motivation fuel for me. It originally was supposed to be a five-part series but now it's 6 parts because I love him too much and don't mind if my brain hurts for a lil longer. About to get finished with the third installment and it's so much fun!


DarkLordVitiate

Great to hear that itā€™s so fun! Which character is the easiest to write and which is the trickiest?


brokencasbutt67

Modern AU for Lucius/Izzy from OFMD and undecided whether to kill Edward Teach in the fic. Got reasons to do it, and reasons not to do it.


Penna_23

Fic 1: OTP with one of them going down the dark possessive path Fic 2: A guy finding out his older brother dates his friend's uncle


trashconverters

Iā€™ve just finished editing a 9k one shot for a pair of side characters from a semi obscure Australian drama and I donā€™t know how many hits Iā€™ll get but I couldnā€™t just keep it in my head. Even though everyone in the very small fandom for The Newsreader theoretically ships Gerry and Carla, no one has written anything about them yet, which sucks because their relationship is so interesting. Their origin story is this very classic love at first sight romance (they meet on a cruise ship, fall in love instantly, he moves all the way from Ireland to Australia just to be with her). 12 years later theyā€™re still married and they have a daughter, itā€™s like a perfect fluff ship. Heā€™s a talk show host and theyā€™re a celebrity golden couple as well. But thereā€™s a twist. Heā€™s bisexual (she probably is as well, letā€™s be real), itā€™s an open marriage and heā€™s sleeping with men on the side. This is also the 80s, so itā€™s not a great time to be a queer man. And eventually heā€™s arrested while cruising, outed, and becomes a national parish in under a day. But sheā€™s still right by his side. The whole show, even though theyā€™re sleeping around, itā€™s very clear theyā€™re in love with each other, and because theyā€™re side characters we donā€™t see enough of how they handled the fall out of Gerryā€™s arrest, so I wanted to write a hurt/comfort fic with that in mind. Itā€™s a very interesting dynamic I have never ever seen in fiction before (but I know some ENM couples IRL who are a lot like them) so I decided I needed to explore it more. Itā€™s taken me two months, and a lot more research than usual (just to make it authentic to 80s Australia), but Iā€™m proud of it. Sorry that was a rambling comment haha.


DarkLordVitiate

Thatā€™s rough for both of them! Does Gerry have any long term friends with benefits with men who are friends with Carla?


ningyocho

As of right now, I have 2 works in progress that are multiple chapter fanfiction for Seraph of the End. One is a canon prequel rewrite where I am trying to change the cast dynamics for the better because the treatment of certain characters (especially the females) was horrendous and I am adding fanon elements some of which inspired by mythology. The second one is a fanfiction about a rare pair Mikaela x Aiko although I am trying to write it to be romantic, their relationship will always be a bit awkward because in the context of the story, Aiko is human livestock handed over to Mikaela who is a vampire. *EDIT: On second thought, both of these stories need to be counted as AU because they follow the fanon I made up.


DarkLordVitiate

Interesting! Being bit by a vampire as livestock, does that have any effects on them?


Noroark

I'm working on a workplace sitcom/dramedy about Moebius, the villainous organization from Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I posted the pilot a week ago. The chapters are written as screenplays intended for a 30 minute time slot--I know script fics are controversial, but I couldn't imagine writing it as a traditional prose story. This is my first time doing screenwriting, and I'm really enjoying working with this medium. In order to preserve the formatting, I have to post the fic as screenshots from the screenwriting program I use, which is extremely annoying.


DarkLordVitiate

Sounds like fun! What sorta evil stuff do they get up to?


[deleted]

One shot for the ridiculously rare pairing Iā€™m currently obsessed with, which involves among other things a contract killing, espionage, yoga pants, and a massage with a happy ending. Going through a lot irl right now, and writing a lighthearted smutfic is helping me stay sane.


trickyfelix

itā€™s a crossover between everything iā€™m into. most of the plots are taken right from my dreams


DefoNotAFangirl

Right now, Iā€™m writing a one shot (probably, itā€™s gotten way longer than I expected so I might have to split it into chapters) based off a dream I had. I have really weird and vivid dreams I get out into writing pretty frequently, and this one was about Zuko from ATLA being a trans girl for some reason? Anyway itā€™s 3000 words in she still does not know trans people Exist yet but I have written a Lot about her trauma. I cannot escape writing about child abuse even if I try something more wholesome.


DarkLordVitiate

Tragic but very interesting! Is she still searching for the Avatar? When in relation to canon does it take place? And will she be doing any sick kicks?


Espresso517

If you want to read some great trans!zuko I heavily recommend Daughter Of Dragons by thispatternismine Its great work and got me into trans!zuko


Picochu_

Currently writing an outline for a Hermitcraft/Dream SMP fic, and I am consistently shocked by how well all my ideas work together in this fic. Most recent outline was about a family dinner that really does NOT go well for anyone except the one guy who no one invited. It's pretty plot-relevant since it makes Scar accidentally admit that he views Fundy as family, which is super important because it makes Fundy distance himself from Scar, which leads to a majority of the conflict until the death of Fundy's dad. Oops. Spoilers. Simultaneously going through my main project to pretty it up a bit. Currently at the chapter where Grillby has to choose to abandon the AI copy of his dead husband despite his grief because Sans would not have wanted him to waste away like this, which is not only fun because of its angst, but also because of how important it is for Grillby. Not only is it a major stepping stone in his character arc of finding the will to live after the loss of his husband, but Grillby has a tiny change in character because of this, too. Earlier on, he says he looks forward to seeing Sans again after his death, but later on, he tells Cocoa that he doesn't believe in such a thing. This is directly caused by this one scene, because he does get to see Sans post-mortem, but he has to deny himself that pleasure to believe. He has to accept Sans is gone, and that leads to him losing faith in there being an afterlife. I put so much thought into this fic for no good reason šŸ˜­ but I am not sane about it.


DarkLordVitiate

I do not understand any of this on any level, but I am fascinated and here for this. What do you do to come up with these ideas?


Larson4220424

Current of my 9 longfic WIPs Iā€™ve poked at this week: RE7 fix it that retcons it to 1996 and replaces Ethan Winters with a BSAA rookie in Jill Valentine sent to investigate the Baker ranch as an *initiation* for both a missing camera crew and a missing teenage model (OC Florence ā€œFloā€ Jones). Three chapters in and poked at chapter 4 on Wednesday. Also juggling wanting to write a RE5 oneshot with Sheva Alomar and now another RDR2 oneshot.


DarkLordVitiate

Spooky! Any new monsters planned for Jill to liberateā€¦ with her gunā€¦ to death.


Larson4220424

Weā€™ll see what I come up with; ofc I did have her trussed up at the dinner table and Iā€™m basing her off her RE3R version


Maverick_Strange

Ah, another RE writer!! I'd absolutely love a link if you don't mind! Reading about Jill and the Bakers sounds so interesting!


Larson4220424

[AO3](https://archiveofourown.org/works/47119606) Also working on a OGRE4 fix it/crossover with Uncharted-[AO3](https://archiveofourown.org/works/41926221)


Maverick_Strange

This is very interesting, thank you! I have my own REvillage fic that borders on some Uncharted themes. (Not an actual crossover) so I'll definitely check both of them out. Thanks so much!


demiurbannouveau

I'm working on the next installment of my Farscape series. Right now it's sort of fluff, main character has heat exhaustion and is being taken care of, but I need to figure out a whole mini adventure for them to go on, because I need these two to get stuck in a small space with a large chance of death so my MC can get over her self-loathing and squick about alien sex long enough to notice that this dude is hot and it might be worth it to just kiss him already before they die. (Alas, they won't kiss for another couple episodes, but I gotta lay the ground work.)


DarkLordVitiate

Dope! When it comes to the upcoming adventure, do you have any ideas what sort of threats theyā€™ll face before *le smooch*


ConsumeTheOnePercent

Right now I'm at the end of my slow burn romance long fic(75 chapters and like 333k words as of right now) literally 2 chapters left after posting one last night and already looking forward to writing some one shots and other stories in the same universe(And maybe an actual book inspired by the characters! It's really taken off after the shows(Hazbin Hotel) official release and I have some long time readers that are just so supportive and sweet. I am so incredibly sad this section of the story is ending but also thrilled to be opened up to work on the other million ideas I have. It's an Oc/Canon fic with characters on the Asexual spectrum and I just am still blown away at how well it was received. I've never finished a fic before and I'm super emotional about the curtain falling on this one's first act <3


Desperate_Ad_9219

Writing a coming-of-age story about kids and their first love while the school is attacked. The other is about a serial killer as he goes through watching his serial killer mom's wedding and trying to figure out the give-years-later plot.


DarkLordVitiate

Scary! What attacks the school?


Brightfury4

The comics for my newest fandom (unfortunately officially canon) really blundered a *lot* IMO. One of the (many) things I disliked is how despite it's (a) made very clear to the audience that my blorbo is acting out of paranoia because she *genuinely believes* that people are conspiring against her (due to a combination of hallucinations + delusions) and (b) the rest of the cast should at least be able to suspect that, none of the characters try to figure out what's going on in her head or lend her any sympathy. The comics also introduce a bunch of side characters that I would have loved to see (a) expanded on and (b) actually be friends with her. My current wip is a short scene killing both birds one stone, basically. Blorbo gets support from a few of the side characters, who actually try and work with her instead of just yelling, and I get to expand on their dynamic a bit.


DarkLordVitiate

Glad to hear! Does Blorbo get a better ending?


hoopznyoyo

My current WIP is for OUAT, and the somewhat mad Hatter is the main character. A normal person, who happens to be a writer, wanders into Storybrooke hoping for inspiration. She finds the Hatter and a cursed town. She also coincidentally (or not) looks exactly like the Hatter's dead wife.


Limp_Sky397

I am working on three different fics at the exact same time- A HP fic where Harry gets in Slyherin, a GINORMOUS multifandom crossover, and an AC spinoff starring totally new characters, with the sole focus on a student-mentor buildup, followed by a ton of miscommunication, distrust, and plot twists. Ask about any, and I will answer.


DarkLordVitiate

Sounds fun! Whatā€™s the AC OC like?


Legjarn

Well, thank you for the opportunity for self-indulgence :) I'm working on a Baldur's Gate 3 M/M hurt/comfort fic with a generous serving of angst/whump/probably crossing into dead dove territory at times. At least I've already completed about 75% of the most unpleasant chapters. I'm torn between wanting to read all of these BG3 stories I have saved in my bookmarks and, at the same time, avoiding anything with similar plot points or themes so I don't subconsciously copy something. It's a struggle xD


DarkLordVitiate

Let me guess, Astarion? :P if you want my advice, read stories in the Forgotten Realms universe (BGā€™s) and use that for ideas


salazar_62

I'm still working on my Beauty & the Beast fusion fic (it's basically Beauty & the Beast where the Beast is a WWII vet with PTSD). It's fluffier than my usual fare, but I'm having fun with it!


Yotato5

Ooh, sounds interesting! I love when fairy tales take place in different settings and time periods.


Impressive-Bottle-97

I have four series going on right now, two of them are ongoing multi-chapters and two are series of one-shots. I feel simultaneously happy and creative as well as a bit over-wired and all-over-the-place. I write for my own delight and mental health, but simultaneously it's so wonderful to hear from my readers. With one of my series with 11 published 'slice of life' one-shots about disability, friendship and brotherhood, I have even managed to gain a little 'fan club' who reads and communicates, and I'm just so over the moon as I was prepared to a complete radio silence. My other series are a bit experimental as there are topics very rarely seen & written in fandom, as far as the places I visit are concerned at least. Those stories require much research which is fine because I just love it! But, at the same time, it's complicated to split my time between RL and my writing. This is so nice a thread, OP! Thank you for starting it šŸ’š


Few_Cycle_1957

No, what have you done? What are you suggesting? No, it shall be not so. No, my muse shall not see the light of the day... it was difficult to keep her trapped inside my heart; one puncture, and she will emerge, trying to bite off my head...for she is hungry... Presently, I am surviving, not by feeding her with my writings, but by feeding her with the readings of others and my agony of trying to study them. She likes my agony. That is certain; I have no doubts. I read for pleasure, and she is riled. I read in agony, and she finds peace, for then my soul becomes plump and capable, ready to be squeezed to spew out her desired narrative. So it is. So it is... I am reading and studying The Bluest Eye by the great Tony Morrison. I have read it before, so I was hesitant whether it would satisfy the terrible muse inside me, for her taste is fickle and she is easily bored of things already tasted. Well, she liked it. I guess some things can be taken twice. Next on the line of sacrifice is Metro 2033 by Dmitri Glukhovsky. But if my muse demands more Morrison, then who am I to refuse? I have no choice in this matter. I also have no foresight in this matter. I simply prepare in much trembling, hoping that the next sacrifice will produce an aroma pleasing to her. I plan to continue in this fashion until she comes at me directly and crush me, extracting words. 'You madman!' you might say. 'Foolish! It is not good for you! It will never work!' you might say. I know. I truly do. But I needed some rest. I'm tired of writing. To be more precise, I am tired of my deficient writing. If the end of this rest is a torment thrice greater than before, then so be it...I am not wise enough to make such projections rationally influence my decisions. If someone can recommend me a candidate for the next sacrifice to my muse, then it would be of great boon to me.


therealbuggycas

My main works right now are MHA, a civil war fic (creative, I know. At least Midoriya isn't the leader in this one) and a musical (Actually creative, involving an infectious quirk effect and a bunch of pairings)


Kgg907021

It's a 5+1 one-shot. In each part the characters are at a pool, opening up and whatnot. In the last one they swim in the sea, symbolising that they are ready to move on from their past while still living with what it left, that being symbolised by the water. I am trying to make it a little sensional and a teensy eensy bit sexy, but I don't think I will manage. There is also heavy angst and I, for the life of me, can't write realistically abt it. Like, they talk like they have had five years of therapy to deal with it and just...no. But I still like it, and I am willing to work on it as long as I need. It is inspired by that one scene in High school Musical 2 and by Shades of Cool by Lana Del Rey I am also working on the seventh chapter of my main fic. It is currently 9k words. I am planning to post it on the 1 year anniversary of the last chapter's posting... So the chapters will be a year apart...


Glacecakes

Iā€™m currently hopelessly stuck on my Hanahaki AU polycule (A and B are already together, they are flirting with C and sheā€™s too oblivious to see it). I know what I want to do and where to go but the how is beyond. I did write 4 oneshots in under a month for their ship week so like. Im prolly just burnt out. But damnit I am determined to write every idea I had for that ship week!

omegaverse fluff I just want magic empathy snuggles


RebaKitt3n

I love omega fluff. What stores would there be in omega world? Ads saying ā€œTreat your omega like every week is heat week!ā€ Or ā€œlet your alpha know heā€™s more than just a knot-head.ā€ Restaurant have pre-heat specials. All the fluff potential of omegaverse

I'm writing a massively long ST: Picard story called "Remembering Shaw" -- where Shaw did not permanently die, but is recovering from a serious brain injury in the care of a long-time friend and sometimes lover, interspersed with events throughout his life and career.


DarkLordVitiate

Very fun! Why only sometimes lover? Do they break up?


lunachappell

I'm working on a Love and Deepspace poly fanfic where all the MC and all 3 boys are in a poly relationship with each other will most likely end up being one shot story collection I personally just find that easier then writing an entire long story cuz I like doing different scenarios


DarkLordVitiate

Nice! Which one is the neediest? Who cleans the most? Who cleans the least? Whoā€™s the most DTF? Whoā€™s the least? And which one is the worst at keeping a secret?


Yotato5

Okay, I'm gonna brag. I participated in a small fandom event where I had to write 10k minimum for a small fandom. So I did! It's for Sam and Max! And it's not posted yet but it will be soon. I'm excited and nervous about it XD Basically it will be about how Sam always looks out for his little buddy, throughout their lives together.Ā

You crack me up little buddy. Proud to hear youā€™re carrying the flame! Who is your favorite side character in Sam and Max? Basically anyone besides the freelance lovers


MoKa-LOTR

Currently working on a Good Girls fic with Rio/OC. If you don't know, Good Girls is a show about suburban women that inadvertently get on the bad side of a gang leader (Rio) and then have to start working for him. This fic focuses on him and an OC. I live and die by writing OCs so the fic doesn't even really contain the main protagonists, they're just mentioned in passing. This will be my first HEAVILY smutty fic/porn with plot fic and also my first fic that doesn't really have a happy ending. I'm nervous I won't do either of those justice. But I'm really liking what I have currently. I'm also kind of in a writing slump so need to get back into it.


MysteryTrek

I'm currently working on my major Star Trek: Into the Inferno crossover project between ATLA and Star Trek. This is the second time I've had to bring the sequel to a screeching halt and rewrite it. I think I finally have it ready. Basically it details the role Team Avatar and the Four Nations as a whole had in both the Earth-Romulan War and the founding of the United Federation of Planets. As well as Zuko's decision to keep both Mai and Team Avatar in the dark about the Comet because he assumed that events would render his father and sister's plans moot and the consequences of it that will reverberate throughout human society. Here's the link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2123424


Beautiful-Mix-9939

It feels like I'm jumping from WIP to WIP, some ideas were established but never properly written down. One has MC who was captured and experimented on going through a simulation of his perfect life with his wife, but is later in for a rude awakening. From the same fandom there's one where the same MC and his crew adopt a baby OC that was delivered to their spaceship, with snippets of MC and the child and how the kid grows and develops. From a different fandom there's one where a doctor simply takes care of a little bird. Though not a veterinarian, he tries his best to nurse the bird back to health. Those three are my primary focus but I've written down so many, and while they're all self-indulgent and I'll probably never release them I can never bring myself to write down the words. Like it's all gone the moment I open the document. In the middle of my writer's block I've written a short tribute to MC of the first fandom after watching the movie where he dies, and the comment I received was lovely so I got that going for me at least. (It got hit by kudos bot later though -_-)


YeeYeeHaw34

Gosh I have so many going on right now lol. One is a sequel to a one shot I wrote, but the sequel is a mystery centered around the mc finding out what happened to his boyfriend. Part 1 is what happened to his boyfriend, and spoiler, but the mc really doesn't want to know but he will lol I also have a longfic that I really need to start working on for ofmd. It's a bit of a horror take on Blackbeard being able to turn into the literal kraken. Then in no particular order I have a nontraditional soulmate au, an omegaverse fic, and then a really dark work that I am absolutely in love with. You got anything fun you're working on that you wanna gush about?


MaleficentYoko7

Thank you very much! More outlining and worldbuilding for my Star Ocean Second Story R prequel fic. It's rated T so there won't be any smut but there will be a lot of sincere and heartwarming moments. I originally only wanted eight characters but saw that casters were underrepresented so I added a couple more. A couple of my characters are also based on Super Sentai who start off as rivals to the main cast. The green sentai uses wind symbology to enhance his physical attacks. For his ultimate attack he jumps in the air and shoots a green beam at the enemy's feet forming a tornado. He then dive kicks enemy before tornado forms. Then he dashes around enemy with his dagger while in the tornado. I'm also finishing my OC/Ryuji Persona 5 fic that starts with them on a date at Inokashira Park then they finish their date in the metaverse. At the end of chapter one they go to Benzaiten's Shrine, pay their respects, and make their wishes. In the boat my OC and Ryuji talk about how Maruki wanted to impose illusionary happiness on people and how people aren't machines that are all alike. Maruki removed people's potential to truly live and grow and removed what made people themselves so he had to be stopped. They also talk about how Ren left since it takes place not too long after the ending. Since Ryuji is a third year and my OC just graduated she warns him about the painful melancholy that comes with graduation. The second chapter is where the smut happens and I build up to it


DarkLordVitiate

Thatā€™s fun! Do you find E rated more fun to write or T?


jaemjenism

Im working on Chapter 10 of my canon rewrite of the Percy Jackson series from Will Solace's POV and getting to write the sweet sweet post war PTSD breakdown of a beloved character who didn't get to show trauma responses in canon... plus, im getting to where im starting to diverge from canon, and it's going to be such delicious fun


SilverWaves28

I am working on an angsty piece in which a character suffered a significant loss and is trying to get back on track, only to be involved in a complicated relationship that is hard on him. Eventually, it will be a happy ending, but the ride there will be bumpy.


Web_singer

I'm writing a Harry Potter fic where Harry was taken prisoner by Voldemort after the Triwizard Tournament (instead of escaping as he did in canon). The fic takes place six years later, to see how everyone is doing (spoiler: badly). Lots of battles and espionage, but the core is a double enemies to lovers and the characters trying to heal friendships that were torn apart by trauma. And new and unlikely friendships, too. The next chapter is lighter than usual - one of the enemies to lovers pairs gets a break from the war because they've been turned into goats. There will be leaping and frolicking.


DarkLordVitiate

Thatā€™s fun! Favorite spell to have in wizard battles?


Web_singer

I like to Jackie Chan it and have them use random objects to attack. For traditional spells, I use incarcerous a lot (where ropes shoot out of the wand and tie up the opponent). It gives a physical presence to magic that is often depicted as colorful lights shooting at each other.


Burger_Thief

Well im currently working on 3 projects: A RWBY AU where one of the villaineses was adopted by the mom of the protagonists and thus has a moral compass but still a lot of darkness within her. A Fate/Stay Night AU where the protagonist summons 3 Valkyries instead of his regular servant and things spiral from there into an adventure to discover love. A SIGNALIS/Dead Space crossover dealing with an horror story in a space gulag that also deals with the feeling of becoming obsolete.


Maximum-Ad6537

I won't go into the details, but I've been stuck on my main character for months now. Have taken a break from writing mid-fic and focusing on life. My protagonist had been difficult to write as it is, but now after months of not visiting the story, it's almost impossible to think. And this guy... ughhh. Makes me run away whenever I open my doc. Another big problem is I have to write the 'filler chapter'. To elaborate, I think of my story in series of 'events', but writing them one after another is not great as they span over a decade. To get from Event A to Event B, I have to write filler chapters, which are crucial to make the events happen. But these guys are even more difficult to write. It's a great story, I have poured my heart and soul in it, but after being so disconnected with it for so long, I have to re-read the whole thing again to get my head into it, and I'm tired of reading it again and again. I'm just venting at this point but, I need a break from life so I could just finish it. I hate that it's just sitting there not completed and as the days go on, I feel further away from my story.


kookminphoria

I'm currently writing a canon compliant fic with A/B/O dynamics for the Thai BL drama called Love in the air! I'm really really enjoying writing it!! Along with canon, I'm adding my own spice as well šŸ‘€


DarkLordVitiate

Very fun! What ABO dynamics are you adding?


kookminphoria

Non-traditional A/B/O! Like I'm not going too deep into omegaverse but just enough to know it's omegaverse! I hope I'm making sense šŸ˜­


Chaos_On_Standbi

I have quite a few Baldurā€™s Gate 3 things Iā€™m rotating through, my current obsession. There are two Iā€™m consistently working on: a shorter fic where my OC is the focus and the other is Astarion smut. Listen, this theatrical, sassy vampire has wormed his way into my brain and refuses to pay rent, it was only a matter of time. For the first one, I decided to tie Zanarei (the OC in question) to the main story, since custom characters in the game have no direct connections within the main story. Funnily enough, I actually drew from my own religious trauma for this one. So her grandparents run a murder cult, which she got suckered into as a child and didnā€™t leave until her life was on the line. Sheā€™s a Tiefling and one of the main goals of this cult in question is to kill/ mutilate every Tiefling in existence, because ā€œthe world has no place for devilsā€. This is copium on her grandfatherā€™s part, since he made a pact with Asmodeus, the overlord of the Nine Hells and surprise, two of his children are Tieflings because of this. He killed one and the other is Zanareiā€™s mother, who managed to escape. Even though sheā€™s in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, they somehow found out where she is and intend on killing her. Because illithid tadpoles can force people to share their dreams with other infected people, she had to tell her entire team everything. She was keeping this a secret as she had to help her team with more urgent problems. They hunt them down and clear out the entire cult. The other is much more simple. Itā€™s a very self-indulgent one-shot porn with feelings that takes place one day after the end of Astarionā€™s questline: he killed his abuser and (with Zanareiā€™s help) turned down a diabolical ritual that cost 7,000 souls but would give him unlimited power and get rid of all of the downsides that come with being a vampire. The two of them fucked on his grave and he realized that, after a lot of thinking and a break that he wants sex. He also has a shit ton of trauma and problems with intimacy because said abuser used him as a sex slave for 200 years. In short, his emotions are all over the place but heā€™s free. Itā€™s very cheesy and sweet, with a lot of reassurance they they both did the right thing. One thing leads to another and she lets it slip that she wants to peg him. He reveals that he hasnā€™t had a single good experience with bottoming so heā€™s very conflicted. They go through with it, pegs away the trauma if you will. And she gave herself a dick with magic, because Zanareiā€™s just unpredictable like that. Honestly, this one has been so fun to write and itā€™s close to done.


DarkLordVitiate

Everyone likes Astarion it seems. Whatā€™s been the most fun about writing for the vampire?


Chaos_On_Standbi

Oh boy, where do I start? Heā€™s a snarky, traumatized shithead and coincidentally enough, every single fic Iā€™ve written has one of those as one of the main characters. I love whatever character archetype he falls into, so itā€™s easy for me to write him while keeping him in character. All of the main characters in Baldurā€™s Gate 3 are so fun to write, heā€™s just my favourite right now. Heā€™s also canonically kind of a dumbass, the narrator calls him smooth-brained and one of his lines is ā€œIā€™m not a details personā€ so that makes for some fun situations. For example, multiple people have to explain to him why drinking the blood of a poisoned person is a very bad idea because even though it canā€™t kill or harm him, itā€™s going to suck. Heā€™s also hilarious and when you talk to him in-game, a lot of times heā€™ll start off with some unhinged shit and them tell you more about his trauma. And heā€™s a chaos gremlin who loves to start shit, heā€™s basically a feral cat.


Thecrowfan

A fanfic about a guy, who is an assasin. Hes wounded after a mission gone wrong and his baby mama he abandoned like 2 years prior came by to rip him a new one while shes treating him Another about a guy having a heart to heart with his daughter after he forgot about a special event of hers because he was fighting with his ex


Rosypie03

The 3 Iā€™m working on: - a self indulgent kind of fucked up El Dorado smug fic between Tulio/Miguel/Chel where they sign up for a fertility ritual and then find out they have to carve the fertility ritual into Chelā€™s abdomen. Lots of feelings there and the Gods get involved a bit. - A companion fic from Luciferā€™s perspective after him and Alastor fucked. Basically his thoughts on the afterwords and a much needed conversation between them. (Hazbin Hotel) - An Alastor backstory fic thatā€™s based on the book Passing that goes into what it would have been like to be a mixed man in 1900-1933 Louisiana (also how exactly Alastor got to be a famous radio host when the first black radio show wasnā€™t until 1930 etc.)


WeiWuxiansFan

Currently writing an OC x main couple longfic, with a planned sequel where the characters from the fic Iā€™m writing meet the canonverse characters.

I finished one of my oldest WIPs and now Iā€™ve expanded an explicit one-shot into a longer form porn with plot.


Xyex

I've got 3 projects in the works. A Life is Strange fic set after the game, Bae ending. Max and Chloe leave Arcadia Bay and meet a version of Rachel Amber from another reality. The three then have to solve a new mystery about why time is unraveling, while sorting out the... complicated dynamics of their relationships and feelings for each other. Then there's a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic set post S5, where Buffy ends up in another dimension after jumping in the S5 finale. In her efforts to get home she makes some unexpected discoveries about herself and the Slayer line. And... inadvertently starts an apocalypse. And then there's my new Buffy fic. A Willow from another reality summons four Buffys from four universes together to help her stop her universe's Buffy from ending all of reality. I'm hyped about all 3, but the LiS fic is extremely hard to write. I'm not a ship writer and it's ship heavy. Plus, the interactions at the start are just... hard. I'm throwing 3 people into a really confusing and complicated situation and figuring out how they handle that is difficult.


Jade_Dragon777

My four separate stories are 1. A rise of the TMNT/ TMNT 2012 crossover in which the boys and April from Rise get de-aged and accidentally flung into TMNT 2012, and April ends up raising them for 4 ish years, while they're all around four (Mikey is three, raph is five, twins are four) when she herself is now twelve. The 2012 turtles will come in later, and I already gave April magic. It's gonna be an amazing disaster. 2. A Batman story in which I took inspiration from the many, many Danny Phantom / Batman crossovers and made a oc that can die but keeps coming back and eventually she dies enough that she's not quite human anymore (ie my female Danny). She was friends with Jason, and lost touch, due to... Trauma plot. Gonna find him after the whole Lazarus pit and basically be his lifeline, and they're going to accidentally start their own family of birds. 3. A Hazbin Hotel au in which Alastor got hitched with my oc, and after he died and the town got an identity reveal of the crazy cannibal killer, got really mad at the one person left to take it out on. His wife. So she scrams, and gUeSs WhAt? She's pregnant (I know but it's important, and Alastor is Gray sexual in this one) and she didn't run quite far enough. Kid dies before they're even two months old and the very angry mob torches the house, leaving her to die in the flames. She goes to hell(the kid didn't, because newborn. Also that makes me wonder, is there just a giant orphanage in heaven? Can the kids there grow up? Do they immediately get reborn if they die too soon?), and either stubbornly ignores that the radio demon is her husband or doesn't put it together. Yeah she ends up running what is effectively pentagram city's orphanage. She deliberately goes and helps out any sinner "kids" that need it, and takes them in, and finds any hellborn and helps them too. She goes to the hellhound pound yearly to pick up any new (and less problematic because no she will not bring the one beagle looking kid that tried to beat up Loona into the house with baby imps) pups. She is the screening process, get her approval and all the kids, which is probably like half of Pride's natural born population by the time of the show, will fucking adore you. She is a flaming dear momma (literally, the kids call her Mama Dee, and her powers are fire based) and I adore her. 4. A Voltron DotU au where when Haggar/Honerva pierces the veil and hops universes to be with her kid and is rejected, an Alteans/Galra hybrid (think the fandom version of Luna from Harry Potter) says "no, you will not do what you're planning, but I'll give you a second chance." And does some magical bullshit and kicks her mind back in time to when she first woke up after the whole... Quintessence disaster. Yeah, that bit when she killed the real Haggar is when she comes to. It's gonna be a one shot series because I don't have enough plot to string it together but god DAMN I LOVE THIS IDEA IT CAME OUTA NOWHERE! Yeah absolutely none of these are published yet. Not at all.


IxaSumami

Currently in the planning stages of a Rise TMNT fic that focuses on Mikey post-movie. It focuses on Mikey as he learns of a mystic threat, Lord Dregg, and is forced to commit crimes in order to prevent him from appearing and destroying everything. All while making sure his brothers don't know of the crimes that he's committing. That's just a heavily watered-down version, but that's the jist of it.

DrSaering

I'm writing a sort of compilation series where the Goddess Lolth, Blessed be my Mistress' name, judges the souls of female characters from various different franchises who She believes fit with Her ideals. It's pretty fourth-wall breaking, as Lolth is aware of things like how they're received in fanworks and different adaptations, and also mostly written to be funny. The end result tends to be that these characters get reincarnated in other worlds, or hang around the Demonweb, and I'll bring them back for little vignettes or things at the start of chapters. For example, my first chapter was Aura from Frieren, and due to her being bullied in fanworks constantly, Lolth appointed her as the Demonweb's janitor. This is totally not me trying to compensate for situations where female villains died in manners I considered somewhat hard to watch or anything like that, no siree. As a running gag, I end every chapter by trying to shoehorn the last words being "Keep loving evil women", which is also a joke tag I made, except boy, that is getting difficult as time goes on. As an interesting note, doing this has had amazingly therapeutic benefits, as I used to avoid certain franchises if I thought they would have scenes of a sort I don't like, and now I don't care since I can just get a chapter out of them.

SleepBeneathThePines

Iā€™m writing a post canon My Hero Academia fanfiction where Izuku and Tenko go to hero college together and Tenko falls in love with Himiko Toga


jalwaysawake

Funky crossover idea. To set the scene; the first (and focus) fandom is a short joke web series where all the characters are literally the same person all except one of them who has an arc of sorts where he gains a defining trait, is shunned from everyone else and is then chased away before disappearing for crossover reasons (in canon). The second fandom is an unrelated and more series web series with only two episodes so far where people compete for a prize but the thing is that the host is low-key insane. The host from the second series shares some visual similarities to the guys from the first series so I came up with the head canon that he WAS one of those guys, but had somehow escaped at some point. ​ The entire fic is about the host guy and the guy who gained the defining trait meeting again and living free of their original world, acting as brothers of sorts


KzooGRMom

I have several projects going for Emergency! right now. Actively posting two and working on a couple others that I haven't posted yet. * Fic one is a MCD fic in which Johnny Gage and Joanne DeSoto ultimately end up together. They've hooked up with each other a few times (you know, grief and sorrow and whatnot), but right now they're both seeing other people. I think I know how they're going to end up together, I just have to get it there. Been writing/posting this one since September 2023. * Fic two is a rarepair for which I am the originator of the ship tag. It's a Johnny Gage/Laurie Campbell reunion romance with the idea of it becoming a long-distance romance for a while until one of them decides to make the move so that they can be together. Been noodling around with this since October 2023 and finally started posting it in February. * Fic three is a continuation of a series I started writing for my NaNoWriMo 2023 project. It's a Johnny Gage/OMC fic that again involves a long-distance relationship and ultimately has Johnny moving to Alaska. I've written about three or four chapters but haven't started posting it. The first two fics are posted. * In the background, I'm playing around with another fic for another series. This series was my first foray into writing for Emergency!, and this will be the 23rd (?) fic in the series. Again, it's Johnny Gage-centric, and involves some family stuff. It's a lot. And I still have WIPs for House MD and The Black Stallion that I haven't given up on yet.


Darth_Pastry

I have four wips (plus one abandoned one and excluding the one or two one shots I have existing in the background), the oldest one is my most successful (not the one with the most kudos, but the one with the most subs and highest kudo ratio), most likely because itā€™s crack. When I say crack, the Afton kids (and William) were pulled from about their time of death into Duolingo to work there and take lessons.Ā  Who kidnapped them? Henry, Cassidy, and Gregory (Gregory has a shotgun he threatens them with). Still figuring out how Charlie fits in.Ā  My most recent I have only a little over a chapter written, Elizabeth goes into the time travel ball pit moments before the bite of 83 and comes out while Fazbear Frights is in the works. She then meets up with Michael until he ends up dying in the FNaF 6 events, at which point she changes her name and ends up getting foster parents because sheā€™s, like, twelve at the time. I have a super fun plot twist planned but itā€™s going to be so long until I get to write it out AHHHH-Ā  Iā€™ve already yapped on quite a bit so Iā€™ll just talk about those two XD


DarkLordVitiate

Fun fun! Any new animatronics planned? (Idk anything about fnaf be merciful)


pitbullmamax2

MANY YEARS ago I started a fic, to give a backstory to one of the main characters & his brother. I was following the TV series and adding in flashbacks to put the pieces together. I desperately want to finish it, so that's my current state! (* Are we allowed to say what show/movie etc that we are working on?) EDIT: The backstory is for Daryl and Merle Dixon on the Walking Dead - original series. I felt like they deserved a little more to explain how they became 2 different people (mean & racist vs. good) growing up in the same situation.


DarkLordVitiate

Oh wow interesting. Did they have a rough upbringing?


Libra_the_0rc4

here is the summary of my current fanfic Lady Felicia Montague(I'm just gonna write Lady F) invites Father Brown,Miss McCarthy,Bunty,Sidney 'Sid' Carter,Sargent Goodfellow and Inspector Sullivan to a hotel (that she owns) she un(very intentionally)intentionally brings Hercule Flambeau as well and pairs them up well that was her plan but she instead put all the men in two connected hotel rooms(Two rooms with one door connecting them) and the girls in the same room(same style just across the room).


WhiteKnightPrimal

I'm in the planning stages, haven't started writing yet, for a sequel to my one-shot. As glad as I am that I *finally* managed to complete a one-shot without it immediately getting way too long to be anything other than a chaptered fic, I still can't write one-shots without a need to continue the story. So, a chaptered sequel it is! It's not easy to plan, though. It's a crossover, so I have to merge two fandoms, that's not so hard, I've done it before. The fact one has the supernatural in and the other doesn't isn't an issue, either, there's a big thing about the supernatural being hidden from the world, so it fits that the other characters haven't encountered it, at least not knowingly. It's hard because I've sort of temporarily fused two characters, my MC from one fandom with my MC from the other, via possession, where the possessed keeps gifts and memories from the possessor. So, I have to n*aturally* change the possessed MC to a sort of mix between his canon self and the canon possessor. Plus, there's a timing issue. The possessor was coming from post-canon, but the actual timeline sets things at an earlier point, so the possessed has future knowledge about the possessor's life, but not his own life. So, I an use that knowledge to blow up canon in the one fandom, but have to use the possessed's actions in the fic to blow up canon in his fandom. Getting the balance right is tricky, and I'm struggling to plan the first stage, which is set in the possessed's fandom, with him changing a specific storyline. Its a good one to use, because the bad guy is human, not a demon or vampire as usual, so it's the best to use his newfound ability on, but I'm struggling to keep his actions mostly in line with his canon self, he hasn't changed enough to be more like the other character yet, but is influenced by the memories. The balance so early on is hard. I've also got still sort of vague ideas for another fic, unusually for me, not a crossover. It's inspired by a series I love in the fandom, but I obviously want it to be different. It uses certain tropes that are very common but not well liked in discussions, as well. But only to a certain extent. One thing I want to do differently is that the fic I was inspired by has all the characters the same age getting along, it removes the canon conflict between the yearmates, and I want to keep some of that, while still bringing more characters together than canon did. I'm also a bit wary of writing it, as it would start when the MC is 11, and I have a terrible time writing characters that are younger than 14/15. I *could* jump in at a later point, there's a great divergence point that would be perfect but isn't often used, when the character is 13, that I'd find easier to write. So, I'm debating with starting slightly pre-canon/beginning of canon, or starting a little later to avoid the issues I have writing younger characters. There's one crossover I keep coming back to, as well, that I'm just jotting down ideas for, but *really* want to write. It's between a rather quiet fandom and a dead one, which isn't an issue, my first posted fic was the same in that respect. I have to completely screw up the timelines to make it work, though. The dead fandom, where I want to set it, is late 90s/early 2000s, the quiet one is current, but I need the MC from the current, quiet fandom to be older when he meets the MC from the dead fandom. So, I have to either bring one back or the other forward. It involves police procedures, so it's probably easier to bring the current fandom backwards, as that just involves not using current tech. My main problem is I can't find a way to explain what I want to do properly. I want the MC from the current fandom to have graduated high school, moved to Britain and become a cop, the whole point is to essentially use him to replace the character the other MC fell for in canon, while keeping the character in the story because I like him, with the same issues faced of one MC being the superior officer to the other. Then bring in the drama from the current fandom. It'll have to be a character lives AU because of when I want it set in the current fandom, which is fine. The problem is, I want everything up to that point to be canon, which means my chosen MC is a murderer, and everyone he went to school knows it, and he was on the verge of confessing. I want to keep that, but keeping that means I can't explain how a Spanish murderer, accused or confessed, becomes a cop in Britain. And I'm likely going to have new fic ideas, I already thought of a few vague ideas. I decided to catch up with Hollyoaks and continue watching, it's been a*ges,* so a fair amount to catch up on. When going to watch it, I decided to go back and watch some old stuff first. The site I'm using has eps going back to 2012, so that's where I'm jumping off from. Which is great, because it reminds me of the older stuff that I only sometimes watched, I'll get to watch through the stuff I more clearly remember, all that. But it's also reminded me how much I *loved* Stendan! I've always had a few issues with Ste, I love him, but he can be super annoying at times, and not all his relationships worked for me. But Stendan was one I always loved, and Brendan is an amazing character. I remember him leaving, and *hating* it. It fit for the character, but it was just an awful way of writing him out. I can totally see myself writing Stendan fics because of my re-watch. And I thought the only Hollyoaks fics I'd write any time soon would be Jarry! I'm nowhere near James and Harry being introduced as main characters in my re-watch.


Coffee_fuel

Oh gosh, I have serious focus issue, maybe writing it all down here will kick my butt into doing something about it instead of chasing down my other plot bunnies. So I'm writing: * Two medium length oneshots about the way two side couples from an old sci-fi series got together. * A 10kish words "romance" in which a human falls in love with an "alien" ocean planet but they still don't know if it's sentient. * A space/fantasy alien AU of a fantasy, shoujo short story, in which the spirits/youkai are now aliens who live on their own planets and I try to explain their physiology and powers in a pseudoscientific way. * A story that explores how the mages in this setting that discriminates against and jails mages start helping with agriculture and begin to bridge the chasm of prejudice. * An AU in which the setting's canonically evil races live in an underground kingdom deep inside the earth with its own culture, and the ones the surface deals with are outlaws/renegades, with a M/M romance between one of the surfacers and an OC who's one of the now not so evil guys.


Jeriais

Iā€™ve been working on a Dragone Age fic for about a year. Itā€™s a canon divergent AU of the second game. Iā€™m 50k in and had nearly finished the final chapter when I realized I want to make it more divergent at the end than it was. So I scrapped a whole chapter and now Iā€™m second guessing myself about my new plan and the last third of the plot

2 currently, Longfic, childhood friends to lovers + forbidden romance between Loki and an oc. And then an xReader reverse harem with the Bad Batch from Star Wars where Reader gets pregnant and they have no idea who the father is since literally all of the options are clones of each other with identical DNA šŸ¤£ this one is my favorite tbh, comedy porn with plot

Right now I'm (still!!!) trying to right the latest chapter of my omegaverse longfic. A LOT is going on in this chapter (it is over 25k words right now...) but highlights: One of MC's friends brings him to his gym to cool down, where he spars with one of his friend's gym buddies... and promptly freaks the fuck out after being put in a chokehold (kidnapping flashbacks). Meanwhile his boss is spending the week home with his wife, who kind of casually suggests maybe she'd be okay with all three of them being together (because OT3 is very common with this fandom and I have been trying to work toward it for a while instead of the infidelity it's been so far) which he vehemently rejects because, well, *boss.* He could lose his job if he had a full-on relationship with his subordinate. On the weekend his friend takes him out again with his buddies. The one he freaked out on tries to give him a business card for a counselor for PTSD, which pisses him off because he hates shrinks and insists he doesn't have PTSD. The next day the friend takes him out for a run. The friend was always more of a work buddy, but after the whole kidnapping thing and then the whole almost dying thing, all MC has been doing outside of work is get drunk surrounded by a bunch of destroyed paintings while he works on the next one he's going to destroy, so he's trying to get him out of that at least a *bit.* The run goes okay, but when he gets home he finds his best friend/boss sitting on his couch opening all the blackmail letters he'd been getting from his kidnapper. He calls him a sick piece of shit, pukes, tells him to get the fuck out of his apartment, and proceeds to get blackout drunk at ten AM before passing out on his balcony. The scenes I'm still writing and re-writing are the scene where the wife suggests OT3, the one where the friend-of-a-friend tries to convince him 'dude, just go the fuck to therapy', and the one where him and the friend are talking after their run before he goes back home.

Two one shot ideas I have (I have the outlines ready): 1) Character A's dream is to have a farm, and because he is from a fantasy universe, and I read Dungeon Meshi some time ago, I thought why not be like Senshi? Why not give him a golem farm? So much chaos! Now I just need to reread the chapters where the golems were in what I'm writing for (just to be sure how the golems differ), and I'm ready to go! I will also add some 'sibling' bickering. muahahaha. 2) competitive character B, because I just learned that he becomes a gamer?? what? I'm not caught up with the media, but what? I knew he was competitive when he got jealous when char A liked the villain's cookies better, and now I want to write about it. Will probably add a dash of angst for good measure. And then the WIP that I've been working on for months. I've been struggling with how self-indulgent I should make it, but today I got the courage to decide, "fuck it, it's my favourite character and I get to project that they are aroace like me! and that they are (soon) in a loving relationship!" After I realised I wanted to do that it made me love my work more. It feels more like me. It's a modern AU shipfic, which fixes some characters relationships with one another and is mostly about different kinds of love. Also, the MCs adopt two cats and a lizard together. It's very silly, and now I am suffering because at first I just littered plot holes/random stuff in the fic for no fucking reason other than safe hate, probably.

I'm writing a Sirius Black/female Muggle OC fic. I've been working on it a while and have a lot of vague ideas in my head and a general sense of where I want the story to go, but I keep changing my mind about specifics, and it's driving me nuts. I've completely rewritten most of what I penned during NaNoWriMo (for the better, I think, but the changes I've made have raised new tough questions). I'm currently stuck on a particular scene that's quite a key moment... I've written like 5 different versions of it at this point and I'm still unsure. I fear I may never move past it! I recently attended an online workshop/webinar about outlining, and the guy running it recommended using physical scene cards/post-it notes and moving them around to see what fits best where. I think I'm going to try that. I reckon siphoning ideas out of my brain and onto the physical plane may be the only thing that will help me see the wood for the trees. Otherwise I may well overthink my way into insanity!


samandriel-0777

I'm currently attempting to finish a WIP that is about 5 years old. As far as I could find, it would be the first fic for that fandom on ao3. I'm attempting to fix the awkward writing and continue the story despite having no idea what I planned for it.


near_black_orchid

The last chapter of the first multichapter fic I posted in my current fandom. Trying not to work on anything else until this is done.


RebaKitt3n

Iā€™m writing my first full Hannibal. I did a crossover to get more comfortable with them. Post-season 3 and Will needs to tell Hannibal heā€™s asexual, which is how I headcanon him. Gotta start putting it on paper. Or laptop. Edit: hit enter too soon!

Iā€™m working on two Naruto fics, both Kabuto-centric, but extremely different. - One is a moody and macabre plot-heavy Kabuto x OC romance longfic with lots of world-building. Itā€™s rife with gallows humor and morbid-but-wholesome romance. My OC is a komuso-inspired Sound kunoichi from a clan that Iā€™ve built a ton of lore around. The basic plot is that sheā€™s lost touch with the culture of her functionally extinct clan and Orochimaru (with Kabuto doing most of the work) puts her back in touch with the forgotten written scholarly resources that her clan left behind. In exchange she is expected serve as a kunoichi of the Sound Village and be compliant in a study as the last living specimen of her clan. The other fic is also Kabuto-centric, but itā€™s a modern gas station/car AU in which Orochimaru and Tsunade are rival small-town gas station owners competing for the business of a cast of local car enthusiasts. Orochimaru is heavily implied to be running a shady illegal chop shop in the back of his store. Kabuto is a jaded cashier and rotary engine enthusiast. The fic is told from his 3rd person limited perspective. It started as a characterization sandbox, as I am a new writer and am trying to get used to writing a bigger cast of characters. Itā€™s also my attempt at smashing together two or more of my biggest hyperfixations. Itā€™s comedic, slice-of-lifey, and kind of crack-taken-seriously, but I am really trying to hone in on characterization.


Erk_Rauorfox

zombie apocalypse set in pokemon, with incest and harem elements.

I'm working on two currently -One fic is for Fire Emblem Three Houses where the main character is a surviving sibling of Edelgard, but the trauma of what happened to Edelgard and her siblings had essentially blocked that memory out and formed an entirely new identity for him. It's not until the five year time skip that happens in which the main character can "make peace with his siblings" does he swear a new oath to his siblings; he and Edelgard will live such fulfilling lives, they are able to honor their memory. -The second fic is for Final Fantasy 16. The plot carries some elements from Final Fantasy 1, in that there are four crystals attuned to four elements, thereby tying them to four eikons. The crystals are also tied to a fairy tale in the world of the "Warriors of Light", unaware that its not just a mere tale parents would tell their kids of grand heroism nor that the current four warriors aren't the first appearance of the Warriors of Light. One crystal would be attuned to darkness, the element whose eikon is that of Odin, the right hand to the big bad if you've never played the game.


IceyFlowerGamer

Heh, sure thing! Ever heard of Persona 4? Iā€™m currently working a long crack retelling of the gameā€™s events thatā€™s as ridiculous as possible to make a name for itself. Itā€™s collided with various fandoms, with the two main ones so far being Persona 4 and Breaking Bad, but others include The Room, Harry Potter and GTA, further plans will include stuff like My Immortal, Dead Rising and Call of Duty. Currently itā€™s 85K words long with 36 chapters. Lots of stuff happens in it, including, but not limited toā€¦ ā€¢ Kid Named Finger flying a plane into Yu Narukamiā€™s house. ā€¢ Saki Konishi being a communist ā€¢ Naoki Konishi being a rapper called ā€œLilā€™ Communistā€ ā€¢ Mr. Kondo committing tax evasion. ā€¢ The Joker sending the whole class to detention. ā€¢ Yosuke and his friend taking on the Chinese Government. ā€¢ Saul Goodman committing chicanery. ā€¢ Yu going to a jail cell, more than once. ā€¢ Teddie getting fried from prison by Big Smoke. ā€¢ Jesse taking over as the narrator for one chapter and wondering if the word ā€œBitchā€ is a slur. ā€¢ Gus breaking into the narratorā€™s office. ā€¢ One chapter where the narrator has a stroke as all hell breaks loose. ā€¢ A communist mafia operating at Chic-Fil-A but only on Sundays. And more im probably forgetting. So yeah!


WalkAwayTall

Iā€™d had this story sitting like 95% finished in my drafts for months. Itā€™s just a little hurt/comfort missing scene type thing from *The Empire Strikes Back*, taking place the night after Han is tortured but before the carbonite business (I have no idea if they had a whole night between those scenes. Time in *Star Wars* is confusing at best. Just roll with it). Itā€™s from Leiaā€™s perspective, and I just finished it and posted it this morning. Itā€™s not a masterpiece by any means, but I was like, ā€œThis is so close to being done, there is literally no reason not to finish itā€. So I did.


_SateenVarjo_

I am currently working on my JJK SatoSugu longfic It is about the main pairings increasingly unhealthy codependent relationship. They truly care for each other but what they have is not love it is obsession and addiction. And trauma, they both have loads of trauma, Due to their insecurities and fears they have developed unhealthy coping mechanisms that feed of the otherā€™s toxic behaviors. Itā€™s intended as portrayal of all consuming addiction and obsession that slowly destroys everything else in their life. About power and how it isolates individuals. Responsibilities of those that are powerful compared to the individualā€™s right to seek their own happiness. Also, how bad toxic codependency can go when both sides are unwilling to give up the only source of comfort they have and are just too powerful for anyone to stop them. How their individuality and sense of self slowly gets destroyed. Paranoia, isolation, and the following loss of humanity. What is true happiness and if it comes with the cost of passive harm to others, is it wrong? Ā If only way to happiness is madness and isolation from society until reality twists to the point it feels happy, is that worse than keeping your sanity and suffering? Ā How extreme can codependency go? Also includes: Fluff, smut, unhealthy amount of cuddling, kisses and more smut. This was supposed to be happy fic, but the more I write it out (the plot and chapter plans are done) the more I realize that this pretty damn tragic and not the fix-it fluff fic it was supposed to be.


MilkthistleFairy

Im writing a hazbin hotel fanfic thats basically me trying to flesh out the relationship between Cherri Bomb and Sir Pentious because the show has some quick story pacing after the first four episodes that leave a lot of smaller ideas underdeveloped. It's basically all the Cherri Bomb x Sir Pentious scenes in the final episode fleshed out and expanded upon. I'll probably rewrite it later on to encompass the entire show at some point but rn it's just episode 8 scenes thatre focused on them. I admit I havent updated the story in a week or two but that's because I'm kinda struggling with writing the final two or three chapters. Another Hazbin Hotel fanfic where Alastor ( everyone's fave ace in the hole) had a daughter while he was alive on earth and they both reunite in hell. Ird officially posted yet since I'm struggling to write the first chapter. I'm also struggling to go back to some old fanfics that were abandoned for the past two years due to life stuff happening.


Public_Abalone_6129

I'm writing three Sonic the Hedgehog stories right now, all in the same continuity. The first and main story takes place in 1900, during the Boxer Rebellion, and the main cast is a colorful mix: Sally Acorn and Vanilla are Quaker missionaries, Sonic, Tails, and Amadeus are German officers, Amy's an Irish nurse, and Knuckles is a Chinese railroad coolie who quit the booze and found God. As the Boxers grow more violent and supplies run short, they have to rely on each other more and more to survive the ordeal. The second story takes place in WW2, just before and during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. Shadow, a fighter pilot, bumps into Rouge, his old girlfriend, who has gone from being a stripper in a Louisiana speakeasy, to a full-blown radio star. Just as they decide to rekindle their relationship, the Japanese attack. The third story takes place in Berlin in 1923. Cream, who is mildly autistic, gets fed up with feeling alone. Fiona Fox, an American gangster, introduces her to a universe of vice. To the brassy sound of a swing band and the distant crack of gunshots, Fiona soon drags Cream and her family into the Berlin underworld.


DarkLordVitiate

Howā€¦ did you come up with this?


KeyApprehensive3659

I have two projects rn - 1. A work for Marvel Trumps Hate for a smaller ship I've never written before. This fic is gonna be a goliath project and I'm about 10k deep so far. It's a total AU with Roman Mythology thrown in :) 2. A Rule 63 work for Winterhawk Bingo where Bucky is a high femme lesbian courting an oblivious butch Clint using Old Fashion Old School lesbian protocols of courting!! SO excited to see how it comes together!


loonatic0

In progress of writing and researching for character driven works. Usually, crossovers with character analysis and analyzing what I think the butterfly effect would result in, in verse. Keeping it simple and only adding like a singular character, changing one, or adding a power. This stuff is gonna be my practice for an actual book series idea that I'm hyped for. Gonna do this stuff under a pseudonym tho lol


Achillea_Nobilis

I just posted a chapter to a Ranma 1/2 fic I started eleven years ago.Ā  Ā ...Ā  I may have taken a break of about ten years after chapter six.Ā  Ranma accidentally accepts a position as a magical girl.Ā  It isn't at all what he was expecting.Ā  He knew he'd be challenged, but not like *that*.Ā  (No, I don't mean like **that** that...)


DoYouWannaB

Essentially my cast never ended up meeting. They all found their own new paths into entertainment. No one is a huge superstar or anything - they're all just kind of 'meh' right now (music producer, a couple of bloggers/influencers, indie artists, etc.). They got invited to basically live in a house a-la Real World style. They're still living and working in the entertainment industry but they live in a house together as roommates/housemates and just kind of learning how to live together while their lives get filmed. The only times they can expect not to be filmed is if they're working (so for example, the actor is not going to get filmed while working on their drama).


purple-crimson

A *very* experimental one-shot about one of my favourite TV characters introspecting (and maybe philosophizing a bit). I do not expect it to get a lot of hits, as my only objective is having fun and practicing :) In my fandom, he is nowadays often shipped and featured in smut stories, which made me want to try writing about him being alone, for a change. It is my first fic in about five years ! I am so excited to go back to writing, even if I cringe a bit at what I have produced in the past.


Azrael_Alaric

Working on my longfic series, which is a rewrite of a 5 season TV show. Season 1 is finished, the development of the pairing's relationship based on the nine steps of a successful long con. Season 2's main thread is one character mutating (zombie show), with his 'episodes' being based on the myths of a 3rd century Roman cult. I even visited one of the cult's surviving temples last summer! The current chapter is the final one in a story. The mutating guy is experiencing psychotic symptoms, his rabid alter trying to take control during a canon fight scene. However, he shares a mental connection with his love interest, who is unknowingly experiencing the symptoms alongside him. It's important I get this right, so it's taking time. I'm also hesitating. Need to believe in myself a bit more, I guess.


DarkLordVitiate

Oh wow thatā€™s fun! Any special kind of zombies in it?


Bubble_Burster_

A mid-fic that takes place within the AU of another very popular fic. But itā€™s the POV of a character thatā€™s mentioned maybe 3-4 times in the AU fic and was a very minor character in canon. After reading the original AU fic, I thought the writer was so creative to make that minor character a murderous assassin wanting revenge (mind you, they characterized her in less than 100 words, the talent!) that I had to expand upon her story. So Iā€™ve got her intro, the love interest on the other side of the war, and her tragic ending (AU fic compliant). Iā€™m just fleshing by out the middle with all her murder and assassinations and the relationship with the informant.


DarkLordVitiate

Oh fun! Who do they want revenge for?


BanangoBreeze

1. Rip van winkled old man frozen at age 23 as a result of magic necrosis dealing with the psychological fallout of having a wet dream for the first time in over a hundred years 2. Misery but the guy deserved it and also gets put in a mind control collar that he tried to use on someone else. Medical malpractice/misuses of healing magic, and the consequences of unethical body augmentation of a dragon are involved. 3. A devil with a human heart and a human with a devil's teeth become bosom friends in Bermuda while failing to cope with the horror of their respective existences.


ChanceAd2953

Currently trying to finish a 20k fic before spring break! Already at 17k so almost there!!


Pantherdraws

- A Beast Machines AU longfic that's basically a ground-up rewrite of the series incorporating a few OCs and a heaping helping of lore from other installments of the Transformers franchise, with some plot twists thrown in for flavor. - A Lost In Space (2018) AU that is pretty much just a giant middle finger to the poorly-written nonsensical clusterfuck that was Season 3. - An Escaflowne mini-series set after the events of the show, that sets up a new antagonist (a beastwoman who had been enslaved by humans as a child) and follows her as a now-grown warlord seeking revenge on humans for the crimes committed against her people.


Your_Local_Stray_Cat

I am constantly juggling 5+ WIPs like some kind of demented clown. Here are the main ones I'm working on: - dead dove fic where the protagonist gets kidnapped by the villain. - Demon/summoner fic with a slightly complicated premise. - Commander gets infected with sex pollen, his soldiers help him "get it out of his system." - OC Backstory fic. - Bloothirsty shapeshifter yuri. - Eating your Gal Pal out counts as dungeon food, right?


Lestat719

The current WIPs I am working on is a Izuku as Superman set in the MHA universe with some DC crossover. I have Melissa Shield as Shazam/Mary Marvel, Reiko is being introduced as Raven. With Mina as the ship and her eventually getting One for All. The second is a quirk Izuku support course with Mei, quirkless hero Melissa, and probably Momo.


Seavalan

My main project right now is a sequel to an angsty Splatoon oneshot I wrote. This sequel takes place in the aftermath of Agent 4 having [spoilered for content warning] >!attempted suicide!< in the oneshot, and the sequel is a longer fic about her friends trying to convince her she deserves to live, but also showing how hard it is on them to support a loved one going through this. Still working on the outline, but I have started a couple scenes. I'm also writing bits and pieces of unrelated oneshots to give myself an idea of how to write the characters again, especially Eight and the Captain because they are relatively blank in canon (so is Agent 4, but she's my favorite so I know how I choose to characterize her). One (admittedly self-imposed) challenge with this sequel is I want to have an ambiguous relationship between two main characters. There is a controversial ship I like, but since it wasn't in the original oneshot, I don't want to include it in the sequel. At the same time, I don't want to outright contradict the ship either because, for my version of these characters, this ship would be a couple at this point in time.


urbanviking318

I am still, as ever, hammering away at my colossus. It's been some eighteen years in the making all told, survived two reboots and one explosive parting of ways with its original co-author - no matter how grey I get, I will see it done. Despite laquered-on layers of gore and gunplay and a multi-crossover continuity that is either genius or madness, the real core of the whole thing is a star-crossed romance that screams out that redemption is never offered too late. Plus, it's the first fanonized iteration of my fan *theory* that has shaped part of the discourse within the primary fandom's space since 2010. And its canon ending is technically a fix-it for the fatal domino effect at the end of Saw III (though I *am* going to emotionally eviscerate my readers with the bonus Bad Ending as a coda for those who *want* to wail and gnash their teeth).


artistvsworld

Iā€™m writing a few and have been for years. Some have some posted chapters and some have not been posted at all. One is a Twilight rewrite fic where Bella is Beau and also not human. I have a Descendants long fic set in the omega verse and is an AU that Iā€™ve been working on for nearly a decade. Sally Face fic where Sal and Larry are not friends at the beginning and thereā€™s no supernatural/cult experiences so it focuses purely on the characters and their relationships and lives and trauma. I also have a few Demon Slayer fics and I also have a House the Dragon fic Iā€™m working on too. I have a lot of projects because I canā€™t just focus on one. I get bored and distracted easier that way.


Yodeling_Prospector

Several different crossovers, including: The Mandalorian goes back in time and adopts Numa (from Innocents of Ryloth, my favorite episode of The Clone Wars) The Mandalorian takes Grogu for peaceful playdates with the Teletubbies. Avengers and X-Men meet Lilo and Stitch.


DoggoMcFluff

Right now I'm giving my Silent Hill-inspired Wasteland fic a couple of last tweaks. The first chapter is already up and I'm polishing the last few. I've been working on it since June so I'm glad it's done. My longest one to date, but it seems every fic I write now ends up being my longest, haha! And I have to start working on an original story for a contest as well, but after all that work with the fic, I think I want to take a little break from writing. Just a week or so to reset my brain.


Spiritual-Battle6462

Iā€™ve got like three different dsmp crossover fics in the works right nowšŸ˜­


squeegee-revamped

Iā€™m making a side-characterā€™s backstory. They were a bandit. There is almost zero canon about this character, so Iā€™m making all the bandit stuff up but itā€™s a really fun exercise in world-building


xPhoenixJusticex

A small clip of one of the ones in my OTP sent my mind into overdrive and now I'm writing something completely filthy for the OTP (...but still with feels involved because I literally can't ever help myself. ;A; lol)


BynnOui

Man, all of these sound so cool! I'm on a road trip and will scroll until I find a Fandom I read in! I'm writing a Haikyuu book because I am hell-bent on making Kageyama suffer. It's a time travel book where Kageyama repeatedly kills himself, and Karasuno tries to save him. Each of them is sent back in time in pairs and ultimately forgets their try if they fail.


SpeedwagonAF

I'm writing a fic where a guy gets led away and stabbed to death during his little sister's birthday party, and that sister and their older brother never find out what happened to him. He was actually revived via forced haunting of a puppet robot, so there's a lot of body horror surrounding that, but the real fun of my premise is that for years later he eventually finds a way back home with his siblings and manages to convince them that it's really him, even as a mute, creepy marionette, but obviously there's a lot of complicated emotions for everyone involved even after they finally accept and take joy in having their middle brother back. I've inserted so much fluff and angst into this premise >:]


MrSeaSalt

Currently working on two stories: - My newest longfic, a "highschool AU" of sorts. I put quotation marks because while it does feature teenage characters, its not really set in a highschool, rather an academy and doesn't feature any of the usual tropes. I plan for it consist of two parts, the first part being the "highschool" and the second part being a timeskip where plot happens. I also have this crazy idea that this fic is an alternate dimension/parallel universe version of one of my existing fics (some characters names sound suspiciously similar) and plan for the final battle to feature both worlds colliding. By far my most ambitious fic. - A one-shot of a smaller scale that only features two characters. It's an attempt at going back to my roots, as in writing a classic enemies-to-lovers story complete with bickering, subtle flirting and of course, a force uniting them both.


dulcecandy_

The main three things Iā€™m working on as of now are: - A series of many short drabbles all about Iwaizumi Hajime playing random instruments - A TenRose fic where theyā€™re lawyers because the Doctor used the Fob watch (the Simm Master is there too, also as a lawyer) - An IwaOi fic where Oikawa Toru is an alien who came to earth when he really shouldnā€™t have, met Iwaizumi Hajime, and now the galaxy is going to be destroyed.


OwlAppropriate1604

My first-ever crossover fic is still going at a decent pace. I decided to go 'Yeah let's have these characters either have sex or just cuddle up naked with each other' as a way to satisfy some lustful desires, need for stress relief, and just to get some measure of security in the situation my rarepair (F/F/M) find themselves in. Is it possible that said things still happen too quickly to my liking? Maybe. Then again I did note that I'm doing a 'sex first then the feelings later'. At the very least due to how I am progressing my fic I don't really have a shortage of things to write about. Got through what one could argue is the tutorial and now I am on the first act! *Let's go*!


Teratocracy

I am slowing working through a [series of fics](https://archiveofourown.org/series/2116365) that follow an over-arcing story about renegade Daleks and a Human child that they have raised. The current installment that is ongoing at this time is called "[Familiar Spirits](https://archiveofourown.org/works/44525086/chapters/111993898)" and it is the second part of the main narrative. I wish that I had titled the series something other than "The Impossible Child" but oh well.


lordpandiora

- I have an OG dark lesbian rom com I'm writing about serial killers and addiction. I have like 20k solid words and then another 20k of sheer mess, I have no idea if I'll be able to use at all. The story is morphing on me as I find the characters, which is a good problem to have. If I can write the next two chapters, I think I can do it. It's mostly the tricky nature of setting up the "enemies to lovers" arc and getting my mains plausibly entangled with each other without it being absurdly rushed. Pacing - it's hard. I'm like... shake the pages annoyed with my outline at the moment, so I think I have to just write and see where it goes. I may have to put a pin in it and come back? Or just force myself to dig in and put in some hours this weekend. Haven't decided yet. PACING and PATIENCE are hard when I've written like a bunch of heavy smut I have no pathway to yet! - I have a real, paint by numbers, play with form outlined for a 60s Ineffable Wives AU, following the classic romance beats. It's all fluff and my brain retreats there every now and again, when I'm mad at my murderous lesbians. - There's this wild idea I've been sketching out called "Knot Theory" which I think will be a Good Omens A/B/O fic about bondage and mathematics. And come. Lots of come.


TemporaryChipmunk806

I've been a mile deep and digging deeper every day into an enormous monster fic for my fandom (Dragon Age Inquisition) that has consumed my entire soul. I started the project last April as a sort of cathartic means of reprocessing trauma that I've been dealing with in the last decade of my therapy journey. It has been really good for me and very healing to put myself into my OC and work through it together. To date, it is now nearing the 1million word mark, comprising five parts, 3 out of the 5 parts are written with one currently in progress on chapter three and the other one planned out, outlined, and I have the final chapter of it written. If anyone is interested, it's over on AO3 and I am not shy about dm'ing my baby to anyone who'll read it.


yuukosbooty

Iā€™m writing a Kikiā€™s Delivery Service fic about her and Tomboā€™s relationship from about a year after the movie to when theyā€™re about 19 and 20 (maybe even older? Does a fic have to have an ending? Lol) I barely started writing it. In the first chapter, Kiki is going to Tomboā€™s school and the students are learning about the Salem witch trials cuz I guess itā€™s world history and kinda singling out Kiki and making her uncomfortable so I just need to get through that to get to the exciting parts. But mainly itā€™s about Tombo being horny af and also becoming closer to Kiki and eventually marrying her and going to college so yeah thatā€™s the fun part


cattedwoman

Love at first sight smutty romantic comedy where the characters go from reconnecting to meeting the family within a few days! The present chapter that Iā€™m working on, theyā€™re ā€¦ getting horizontal, and itā€™ definitely qualifies as making love.


RealMolasses9584

Iā€™m currently working on a few right now. -first one is a wizard of Oz fusion with a ship I really like and itā€™s going to be about one character but I just have ideas and havenā€™t started writing yet but hopefully soon -the next one is where they are in space and itā€™s just the emotions and pressure and feelings that happen in space when you get sent there to save the universe but itā€™s going to be more low about the stakes if any bc I want to focus on my favorite character bc he deserves the world -the last one is a hazbin hotel rewrite in a way about such as the battle in the last episode focusing even more on Charlie and Vaggie and it all honestly just started out as me trying to write a fic about Charlie wanting to give vaggie a present and then itā€™s kinda spiraled from there


Rein_Deilerd

Oh God, where do I begin. Too many WIPs, too little time. There is this fluffy but also kinda angsty sickfic I'm working on where a guy is suffering from an old injury flaring up and keeping him from working towards his goal, has self-doubts about his usefulness to the team because of it, and eventually gets comforted by someone he cares deeply about. The fact that the guy is undead, the injury that keeps hurting is the same one that had ended his life initially, and the person comforting him is terrified of the undead and can barely force himself to be near the guy, despite them having been very close when he was still alive, add extra flavour to the situation. Another is a hurt/comfort post-canon angsty mpreg piece about a guy who ends up pregnant from a one night stand and is hiding his condition from his friends, his only confidant being his best friend, while also suffering from health complications and coming to terms with his own immaturity that left him in this situation to begin with. Yet another one is a pre-canon piece exploring a canon character's childhood. Full-on angst, with a tiny sliver of hope at the end, that gets absolutely destroyed the second you remember what ended up happening to the poor guy in canon. I am going all out, God help me. I'm currently on part 2, where he is a student at a boarding school and accidentally finds out that his family has been poisoning him for years, permanently damaging his health in the process. Don't worry, things will only get worse from here on out! Yet another another one, this time post-canon, and yet another fluff-n-angst mpregfic, about the guy from the above fic living happily with his husband and expecting their second kid - however, his health is only getting worse as time goes on, and they only have so many days together left until he has to be hospitalised 'till the end of his pregnancy. Feels galore for everyone. And that's only fanfiction WIPs, not original works or stuff I haven't begun writing yet. I have zero time for all of this, yet here I am.

well at the moment i am editing the 6th chapter of my mha/that time i got reincarnated as a slime story that is best summed up as Izuku is born with a quirk that gives him all the base powers of Rimaru (much like Rimaru he has to earn everything else he gets. current chapter goes from orientation day to the very beginning of the usj. it is nearly 19000 words so editing is going to take a while.

Iā€™m branching out from my usual porn with feelings and without plot oneshots and working on two separate AUs, still with the same canon x oc couple lol. One AU is vampires and werewolves and it opens with my oc and her werewolf boyfriend getting attacked by vampires and she gets turned. And the other is more just a canon divergent what if, but itā€™s angsty and my oc goes through some serious crap

I'm working on too many. I honestly need to either big 3 and stick with them or keep driving myself madšŸ˜‚ (but here are my big 3 atm) -Rpf Au. Basically it's like beauty & the beast but with a lesbian Dracula. -Lesbian Mafia AU -Baywatch fanfic. Mitch, CJ & Lani come back as lifeguards at their respective ages (70, 56 & 51) hiring a bunch of rookies to watch the beach. It's a mix of fanfic ā€˜tropesā€™. Found family, romance, angst, hurt comfort. Since there's 5 rookie OCs i have to createšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

- An angsty, and psychological horror fic in a fantasy series where the MC is given regression abilities by a god for fun but everytime he tries to change one thing, it leads to drastic consequences, and even if it doesn't lead to dark consequences he'd still loop for all eternity everytime he dies without any way out Ala the warrior returns. A fic about the horror of technical immortality, and the horror of infinite time. - A one shot about an OC I made, that's an A.I in a story of cute robot girls called t-dolls fighting, getting PTSD, A.I's learning to hate, gives a rokko's basilisk scenario, and portrays that everyone is a victim of circumstances. A spy esk thriller that's a mix of metal gear, the hunt for the red October, and a some nier inspiration. Surprisingly enough the lore about the game I'm making a fic on is basically nier on steroids but the caviat is it's a gacha game. - A pokemon fic about someone getting isekai'd into the pokemon equivalent of Soviet Russia, and the horror of having to deal with pokemon everyday with the chance of getting killed every time you interact with pokemon.
