For myself, I'm always saddened whenever a new version of X-Men plods on with the same old "Scott/Jean" plotline. Even when they throw in a curveball like Rogue in Evo, Its clear all the time he's going to end with Jean eventually. But if they're going to make a new universe why not actually make it different? Things like the Ultimate comics seem to try their darnest to get every major plotline from the originals up there asap. Sentinels, Weapon x, magneto, hellfire club, phoenix saga. Of course, while I'm all up for Scott/some-else. Jean generally gets paired with Logan and that's the worst couple ever. Which is another reason why, to bring this back on topic, your fic was such a breath of fresh air.

I thought you were going to run into trouble with those author's notes. (and technically shouldn't this be in the x-men fandom section below ) Its interesting that you just started off with the pairing and worked up so much around it. While I think a lot of fanfic is like that. (i know mine is) You're right when you say that it tends to lead itself more to pwp. So I'm impressed you didn't go that route. Especially when using a villian. It's amusing to see you refer to Scott as Jean's one true love. Most of the flak you got for this fic was based around people not being able to cope with a pairing other than Scott/Jean. Have you got any more X-men fiction planned?

*face palm* Why did I enter that fest? Why?

I've never been one for deadlines, never done a story competition in my life as a result. Only managed those aff prompts cos flashfics are tiny.
-
Never mind though! A micro-break and burst of effort'll maybe see you through?
-
Same reason I entered NaNoWriMo? just because we could, and it was there?

Review for Desperate Times, Desperate Measures Like Dude! i know, dude. But like I say in my profile. I'm not working on AFF fics at the moment. Even after I'm done with the fest, I'm more likely to continue with the other fic first. DTDM will be updated whenever I damn well please. But thanks for reading. Glad you like it.
-
Thanks. I'm glad I've broadened your horizons Next chapter won't be a for a little while though. I'm taking a break from my AFF fics to do a fest.
-
How time flies when you're forgetting to write festfics... 4.5 weeks to deadline. 2.5 weeks till i want to have a full draft sent to my beta...

Are stories without adult content allowed on the site? [ADDED]
Daye replied to crunchysalad's topic in FAQ requests
AFAIK: The answer is Yes. That's why there's a NoSex tag. -
purchased DA: Origins. Hope its good. I've got the impression from here that it is...

Crapsack world, man. Crapsack world.
-
crapsack world indeed. what's it coming to when a king's grand vizier betrays him?
-
Business as usual, seems to me...
-
Thanks. Wow. That's an old fic. I'm afraid its not very likely I'll write more of that one. Since there are two multichapter fics I want to finish before I start anything new for AFF. And I'm writing for a LJ fest instead of for either of them at the minute. (oops) But I'm very happy to know you enjoyed it. It was a bit of an odd one to write as I was an experiment out of my usual style.
-
Got the plot for my festfic all hammered out. And seven weeks to do it. Hopefully this will be doable...

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it so much, I've been trying not to go overboard with the chess references for Ron. Since in the canon its barely mentioned after the first book but I also like to write Ron as useful and brave an not an ass (i know its controversial) where I can and chess strategy melding into real strategy is a common enough concept though. So it seemed natural enough. I'm very glad you liked the battle as well. I've been having trouble making the magical fights feel both exciting and plausible.While trying to justify how battle hardened Death Eaters were beaten by four teenagers. Hmm. Apple haven't cornered the market on artificial lungs as well have they?
-
I... Umm... I.. Err. *Swallows pride* OK, I'm not sure what this means but thanks for taking the time to review all the same. I get the impression this was a positive comment. OR at least I'd like to think so.
-
Yeah. My plot's following DH pretty closely now. The Hermione thing was the major curve ball. The Gringotts thing will obviously be slightly different though. After all, there is no Griphook to hand but there is another Gringotts employee available to help...

Reviews for my update to: It's Not Just Sex Oh God. That's a terrible thought that I'm not going to confirm in fic one way or the other. It has crossed my mind but I feel guilty enough about this plotline as it is. Lol. but yeah at the very least there was lots of torture. First for information on Harry and later just for fun. What exactly that torture consisted of... I'll leave to your imagination. Thanks for the review! Oddly I'd been thinking about using the debts line for the Malfoys in a different fic idea... Yeah, they probably won't be more main pairing sex to the final chapter or epilogue. For the next chapter. Maybe too considering how I wangle it, They'll be in recovery mode. Then going by DH the gringotts escape leads nearly directly into the battle of hogwarts so unless i start writing mid-peril quickies... Hermione and Ron are not official couple thus far in the fic but i've made no secret that they'll eventually be emding up together as in the canon. So yeah, hopefully I can squeeze in some really gratuitous side pairing sex for the next couple of chapters.

Proof reading sucks and yet is vital. Especially when my beta is busy writing for a fest...

Hello Andrew, Sorry it took a while to reply to this. Not used to other people using this thread. Lol. I've got no plans to use anal sex in either of my stories at the moment. I'm not really opposed to writing anal scenes its just i've never managed to fit them into the story so it felt natural to me. Though the idea that it might be the first time having anal sex for the girl as well has some merit. Thanks for the suggestions.

is ridiculously nervous about the first day of this masters course. I'm far too shy by far.

You'll be right.

Thanks everyone. Started the prelimary module today which consisted of a lot of things I could already do in MSEXEL, or at least an older version of MSEXEL. Was at lot less nervous on arrival, but alas there were no beautiful blonde yet exceptionally nerdy women on the computing course. My hopes and dreams = dashed.

::pets Daye:: I'm sure she's out there.

Congrats on being enrolled. Hope they give you the information soon.

Good luck finding the course, work hard at it!

Two more reviews today. One each for It's Just Sex and its Its Sequel; It's Not Just Sex. No, I think that'll do. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for this review. I'm glad you enjoy it so much. I have tried to change things up as much as possible because to paraphrase a reviewer; there's no point in adding a big change like Pansy if it doesn't actually change anything (apart from the amount of sex taking place) As for Hermione that's a really good idea that I may have to steal What I was trying to do over the chapters before Hermione's departure was show how the roles she saw herself in; planner, knower of stuff, voice of reason, were all being undermined, at least in her point of View by Pansy's presence. Though your idea is probably closer to what Hermione herself thinks is going on. Hopefully it'll get continued sooner rather than later. The rest of the story is more or less planned out. It's just getting it down on the page.

Woah! it's time for a blast from the past with an anonymous review for my first fic: It's Just Sex. Thanks for the review. I can't say I was very fond of canon Pansy myself, but then I think that was JKR's idea. Still everyone loves a bad girl, especially in porn and using Pansy gives the added thrill of forbidden romance!

holy crapola. What's happened to the forums? Upgrades and now they've ruined it?

I gotta run utils first, like I always do after a major upgrade, LOL.

Poor Ron. So unloved by the fandom. I try to give him a fair whack but I needed some conflict that wasn't between Harry and Tonks and the jealousy thing is a pre-established character trait. As for DD, I'm not sure if he doesn't know or doesn't care about the sleeping issues. He'd probably try and step in if they started getting obvious about it or canoodle in public or something. But for now, he's got more serious things in mind.

More Reviews for Chapter 9. Thanks for the review. As for Ron I was trying to build on a couple of things I'd put into early chapters, when Harry was the burrow there's a bit where Ron's implied to want to ask Harry about his and Tonks' sex life and then the scene a couple of chapters ago where he doesn't want to talk about Harry all the time. Wow, thanks for this substantial review. Its the kind of thing writers like. As for Tonks, well she's got wet feet, is surrounded by sand and can see the Sphinx. (She's knee deep in deNile bah-dum-dum-tish! ) Or maybe just by a certain one-eyed monster...
