  1. That's why I resort to random generators, simply because my mind gets stuck otherwise, and it becomes rather unrealistic if all your characters are named "Bob".
  2. The best medicine for me, is to typically rant a bit about it, usually in the chat box, when I’m feeling negative. Happens in bouts. In my case, readership is lower because I’ve made a habit of story tag bingo which can scare off the squeamish.
  3. Don’t be afraid to mix up the stages too… nobody reacts quite the same to similar situations, How the character reacts can define them.
  4. Add in the “me too” there, hope it turns out to be nothing to worry about.
  5. Bring along some reading! (Like my story )
  6. So, the answer to avoid a multi-chapter halloween fic is to add in a well placed flashback.  Seems to do the trick, summarizing the mood (with a nice bonus of not having to add in the minor1 tag).

      That sounds like a good idea. I’m just going to write a scene with established characters so the temptation doesn’t strike me to write something longer. :D

      This particular halloween fic has been tough to get started, with so many options, but not wanting to stomp over where my other stories are heading.  Same universe, as always, with a nice bonus that it’ll set something up to feed into another story.

      Oh crap… Thanks for reminding me early. I always want to do a oneshot for halloween, but only ever think about it when it’s too late. Now what the hell am I gonna write?! Gaaah… 

  7. Sigh… trying to come up with a Halloween story without creating another multi-chapter epic.

      Then there’s getting the LOTR fans with “Say, did you ever read Celebrían?”

      Ah.. you can’t get me there. One does not simply forget Celebrian.

      And honestly? Given the choice between that and Legolas by Laura… ? Compared to that Celebrian was actually kind of well-written, and in some ways much easier to stomach, as it were. I know which one would make me scream first if put on constant repeat, and it’d be the one without proper use of full stops and commas… ;)

      If only Celebrian had been written withoutthe endless bucketloads of semen, unrealistic horse and warg rape, and with just a little bit more attention to the elements of psychological torture and horror elements… wait, what am I saying?!

      Sorry. Yes. *dutifully falls into line*

      Still wonders if it could be saved, privately.

      Though, for a halloween fic, I’ll keep it shorter, obviously, but yeah, this has potential.  (I’ve already trashed like three or four starts to it.)
