This thread is similar to Self-Plug, but it's a little different. This thread will be for posting about how you finished a chapter, a one-shot, a multi-chaptered fic, getting over your writer's block...anything along those lines so we can whoop, holler, and cheer each other on. You can link the chapter, link the fic, whatever you like. It's all gravy. This thread will be stickied. So...please feel free to throw yourself a party in this thread whenever you've finished something in your fic. Even if it's just a section of a chapter you've been working on, that was dragging or giving you a hard time...that's totally fine. Be sure to mention the fandom it's for, the genre, a brief summary if you will...that way we can learn about each other's different fandoms and tastes. We are all here because we love to write and read, and it helps to keep an open mind to what we all like/dislike, and our different tastes. Makes us one big happy family! :)

So post!

Chapter 3

The story is entitled "Fallout". I hope you don't mind, I edited your post to reflect the next chapter. But here's the original url you put up.

The latest chapter of my fic Broken took me a bit over two months to finish. I really don't know why either, I was just horribly blocked. I'd sit and stare at the console and not know what to type... drove my insane. Eventually after a sentence here, a sentence there, some changes, and two months of banging my head I finally got it released. It's received positive reviews, which is good because I really didn't know how well that chapter would turn out.

All in all I am overjoyed that chapter is shipped out and keeping my readers hooked. Now I can focus on the rest of the story. Hooray for me!

As for me, I've not gotten anything done at the moment. Well, I have made a major break through in research, because I'm a stickler for historical accuracy. It was very exciting, because I've been trying to find information on Roma (more commonly known as gypsies) and what time period the events in Mercedes Lackey's The Black Swan kind of reflect. Recently I've found the last thing I needed - a timeline - and now I'm going to start writing the story. It's a huge accomplishment for me, but unfortunately nobody yet can see the fruits of my labors. =] I'll post more updates later. And I'll definitely be keeping an eye on everybody else around here for great fanfic.

Wonderful chapter, showing Reia finally has come to terms with who she is and is using her talents to help others. Certainly an inspiration and well written. My compliments.

Somebody gets it!!! The readers see and understand the point I was trying to make! Sassy, you and I discussed this a while back whilst I was working on the chapter, seems that I hit my target dead on.

That makes the entire two months I spent on that chapter worthwhile. NefCanuk... you're one of my best readers, my hat's off to you!

If you enjoy editing, you'd make a great beta-reader. Not too long ago, someone on here was looking around for a beta reader. Just something to keep in mind.

A stickler for historical accuracy? That's good. Especially if you want your fic to reflect the truth of what happened in the past. It's a fun way to learn about history too. I have a friend on here who loves history, so I'm sure she'd be with you on this. Congrats on getting your info and timeline together. It'll pay off as you write your fic!

Time Incursion,

Congrats on your new review. I know you were working hard on completing that chapter. I totally understand how great it is when your readers get the point that you were trying to bring across. So congrats for you too! :)

It's a one-shot, and I'm proud of how I handled it. It's called Broken, and I think I wrote Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy wonderfully in-character, given the situation. There are warnings with this piece, though. It IS slash and it's also a rapefic. Since those topics are rather touchy, I figured I'd give a warning now before people go to click on it and then later complaining about the mature content. Also, the rape isn't handled in typical fangirl fashion; it is meant to break the victim, as rape has a tendency to do.

And that's about it. ^^ Hopefully Broken will do well, as it is my first HP fanfic. I want to be welcomed into the fandom; not kicked out of it. lol

I'm kinda proud of myself for finishing a chapter last week. I had a lot of emotional stuff going on IRL(death in the family), but writing seemed to take my mind off of it for awhile.

Right on!

I'm really sorry to hear about the death in your family, Maryilee. You should be proud of yourself too. Writing can definitely take your mind off the stresses of life, I totally know how that goes. Please feel free to plug up here about your finished chapter.

Oh and I definitely I love that feeling. And if it brings me closer to the end product, then I'm even more thrilled. When it comes to a whole fic...it's an awesome feeling, esp if it's multi-chaptered--those can take so much time so...trust me, when this fic is done...I'm gonna treat myself out to a nice dinner. :) You should do the same. ;)

O.o Hahahahahaha! Anywho, keep on rockin with the chapters!

Also, this story is almost entirely about the emotions of the main character whereas my other stories had more action, which is easier for me to write, so this presented a bit of a challenge for me. And, to top it all off, I wrote my first romantic scenes! Yikes! Nothing too heavy, I tried to keep it PG, but, even so, I had to fortify myself with a couple of glasses of wine to write the very last scene.;-)

So, Yay Me! Woo-hoo! :-D Off to polish off my bottle of wine!

Please feel free to post a link here, once you upload your story. It's always a great feeling to finish a fic, especially since you've labored on it for so long. And you also tried something new: writing about emotions vs. action. I think you can do both, but if you're used to writing one way, and then experimenting with another, that can really help you grow as a writer. Congratulations! :)

P.S.

I sent you a pm. ;)

There are mild spoilers for the pilot episode.

Here it is. Patching Up the Blood

*EDIT* I fixed it for you, Maryilee. Congrats on your new fanfic! :)

I would muuuuchly muchly appreciate reviews/comments-- that would be way cool.

(summary: Daphne relizes that what her boyfriend has to offer may not be what is important to her in a romantic relationship.) ]

Grr!! I am having the worst time with this stupid website! I can't make a link to my story ;_; Could some one who has been here longer help me, possibly? Sorry, but as of now, if you want to read my story you'll just have to go through my userpage because I can't make a link. --;

EDIT: Hi, Torrin Leigh! Welcome to the forum, feel free to stick around and post with us! :)

Here's your fic: Love Unreturned

To make a link you put [s:story id:story title] I hope this helps~!

*EDIT* Here is the link for your fic. Sitting Trouble

I'll definately have to read your fic ^_^

Stories of the street - chap 3 or Stories of the street - from the begining

First link is to the relevant chapter I just finished; second link is to the first chapter of said story. (Rated T for violence)

Here it is: Weapons of Wisdom, Ch. 2: A Burst of Wind.

Gulp! If you read the fic, you'll see why that comment kind of freaked me out! He said it a few days after I had posted my story.

(I'm trying to put the link here, but I don't know if I'm doing it right. The button for the link never seems to work for me, so I tried writing my own html code. If it doesn't work, I guess you can just click on my name and find it under my bio. Sorry! The story is called, "Lucky")

Lucky

*EDIT* I fixed it for you, Maryilee. Just remember: [s:StoryID:Story Title] :)

A few days ago, I posted a fanfic for a Digimon pairings challenge I'm in. The pairing of the week was Patamon/Gatomon, and it had to be completed in a week. I finished it, and I did!

Here's the fic: Learning a Lesson

Now, I'll be honest with you guys, I did a ton of research for this piece. I read through all of the Hellsing issues so far, watched the first season of the anime, and even re-read Dracula (I completely forgot how slow that book reads). So even though I had the first chapter planned out way in advance, it wasn't until about a month later that I actually posted it as I wanted to finish all my research first.

Now, what you've all been waiting for...the chapter link!

Chapter 1 of Lab Specimen: I

Any and all constructive critiques are gratefully accepted. :)

I must admit that I was worried about losing some readers with all the time that has passed since my last update, but my diehards are starting to pop up and leave their comments. I'm happy to see that they have waited patiently.

Anywho, my story link is in a previous post in this thread. Give 'er a read, see whatcha think!

I'm always afraid of losing readers after a long time between updates. But there's always one or two who stick around to still read your story. Keep up the good work!
