I hope i was helpful...

You still have to write through the block, but see if you can't get into a new work, a new bit of poetry or even a script for a TV show, anything that will keep you writing WITHOUT pressuring yourself about the story you're blocked over.

Blocks go away, and come back, and it just happens, and writing through it has worked best for me.

Also, go walking. Ride a bike, do something to work your body, which will at once work and relax your mind.

And there's no difference between writer's block 'as it pertains to fan fiction' and any other kind of block. Blocked is blocked. Because writing is writing, whether we do it well or often or profusely, and blocks just happen.

Hope your block has let up since you posted your question. IF not, try to keep writing anyway, and see if the other story begins to take form again... it will.

I just leave the story be, and listen to music. I often find that writing a one-shot in the same catergory (ie; Wicked) as your 'stuck' story, helps alot, because it helps keep your mind on the topic, while not stressing it.

So far, thats all I have to say.

Okay, no more advertising for me!

Second of all, the only way I can write is to have so many moving at one time. It helps me, for some odd reason. I know it irks other people, and I'm sorry. But there would be times I'd be writing NOTHING at all or writing one of the newer ones. I'd rather be writing something while waiting to figure out how to move things along. It's just easier for me that way. Many of the ones I've left hanging will come after I get through this big thing with "A New Boy at **" and a few planned things I have to write for "It All Started at **". I was actually just recently thinking about how I'd update "Haunted", but it's not the first on my list after those two, unfortunately. The next two that will be updated (and it might STILL be awhile) are "If I'd Known" and "Elphaba: City of Emeralds". Then, I do have some ideas for the others, too. I apologize for making people wait. Would you rather have one good fic that gets stuck or a bunch of fics, one or two good, that at least one is moving at a time? It's the only way for me, and I'm sorry.

I've hit a brick wall with my multi-chap...damn! If anyone can give me any help just PM me-please!!

Hope it helps!

I also think about the story before sleep because I think that's my most open minded state of mind and sometimes idea's come in my dreams or just appear in my mind before sleep, inwhich I jump out of my bed, attempt to find paper, and write it down before I loose it.

I also skim through the book/tv show/movie (what ever it's based on), or other books/tv shows/movies that somewhat remind me of the fic and ideas come from there, like how I'm reading Son of a Witch and it helped for my fic Fallen Under Your Spell. Also I have the play script for Wicked which I refer to from time to time.

I also read other people's fics and get ideas there too, which was also stated before.

But sometimes other people's way work and sometimes they dont, so try a few different things and find what's right for you.

Hoped This Helped :)

Or sometimes I just go and start writing another part of the story - like if I'm stuck on chapter 15, I'll move ahead and start writing chapter 23 or something.

I have the ideas in my head and I know what I want to happen, it's just a matter of writing it down PROPERLY.
