Deadman

Over the weekend I finished off a long term story and it feels really good. But it’s also weird because I’ve been working on this story for years and took a decade long break in between to write other stuff. Now I’m working on the next piece and I feel weird about just moving forward to the next story and working on new things. Anyone else feel this?

Maybe what they need is better training in things like tantric? This could help with speaking during sex. In my case, a lot of my stories involve characters who are not directly involved. So there are people who can concentrate while enjoying things.

Okay, just going to say it. The special guest in the Kennedy chapter is Buffy. This is basically the “lesbian version” of a Buffy scene though it does centre around Kennedy.

Totally get where you’re coming from with this. Personally, I try and avoid swear words and other stuff wherever possible. Usually because my fandoms are on network TV that don’t allow swearing. So I try to reflect the characters I write about as much as possible. That being said, I have used it but I use it sparingly. Mainly because these type of situations, sex scenes, don’t usually show up in stories on network TV. There’s more often than not a “fade to black” so I can’t be sure they wouldn’t swear during sex. But again, it’s all about making it work for the character. An example I use is that I will do things like have an ongoing joke in some stories. Where a character is engaging in some kind of sex act, gets really turned on by what’s being done to them, and they will yell out “Fuck”, which then leads to the another character saying “That’s the idea”.

I finally found this and so I decided that I should create one. Should I reply to previous people’s reviews since I’ve gotten a few since before joining the community forums? Let me know what you think but otherwise I will do my best to reply to people’s reviews.

Potential Energy Chapter 10 is up featuring Kennedy and the Potentials, plus a “special guest” Summary: With Willow away in Los Angeles, Kennedy is looking to have a little fun with her fellow Potentials and they seem on board with it. During the fun, someone comes down into the basement and discovers what's going on. They get drawn into the fun. Also, this was what inspired me to write this question:

New chapter is up featuring Kennedy and a ‘special guest’ along with the Potentials titled “Potential Energy”.

Yeah, funny enough the first fanfic I ever wrote was written a year before my main fandom ended. But yeah, this time seems to be right after it ended. In fact I technically predicted the ending of the series in some ways. I wrote a story suggesting a foursome of sorts, and apparently that happened in the show.

Lol, yeah. I have this problem it seems. I think what seems to be happening is that I’m getting inspired by the end of a recent show I’m a fan of. They gave me what I wanted in terms of a pairing I like, or close enough to it anyway. So now the fandom is pushing me to have ideas. Both the original story that inspired this post and the most recent plot bunny are in the same fandom. Usually I don’t get what I want from a fandom, but this time I sorta did. Two female characters hooked up that I’ve been waiting to see happen since the beginning of the show. I think it’s screwing with my head.

And it just happened again. I had an idea for another story and outlined the story very quickly. This is getting annoying.

Looks like things haven’t gotten fixed by putting in Java. Just FYI @manta2g and @BronxWench. So yeah, not sure what’s up with that but I’m not sure I’m in any hurry to get it.

Okay, just to update @manta2g and @BronxWench, I installed Java on my computer and this doesn’t seem to have changed anything. I haven’t had a chance to restart my computer to see if that helps, but installing it didn’t appear to ask me to do that. Still, just FYI in case there might be some other reason for it. I will let you know if rebooting fixes the problem.

Possibly, although it’s not necessarily a lesson heavy story. I kinda like the idea of specifying who’s getting the lesson or the teacher in the chapter title. There are probably 3 chapters out of 12 sorta have “lessons” part of this.

So, one of the things I’m thinking about with regards to my newly outlined story is bugging me. At one point in the story, one female character is instructing another in some… fun things. For the sake of keeping some mystery, let’s call them Mary and Jenna. There’s a chapter where Mary is teaching Jenna, and another where Jenna is teaching Mary. I’ve titled the chapters’ “Mary’s lesson” and “Jenna’s lesson”. But in thinking about it more, I’m not sure if I’ve labelled them properly. The chapter where Mary is teaching Jenna, I’ve called it “Jenna’s lesson” and vice versa for “Mary’s lesson”. Should it be the other way around? Is the Mary teaching Jenna’s chapter technically “Mary’s lesson”? Because she’s the teacher in this situation.

Damn, the longest I ever got was 114 chapters personally. Though I would say that I started writing in more detail. My 114 chapter story is 140,000 words. Whereas the story I started after finishing that one was 22 chapters and had 80,000 words. So my number of chapters get shorter but the amount of words stays the same.

Okay, it looks like I don’t even have Java installed on my system so I have to fix that. Although I’m probably going to be selective about using it. Maybe only for this site.

Daily? How long is the story that you’re writing? It seems to be incredibly long.

Makes sense. So how long are the stories that take extra time? 30 pages? That’s usually what I have, though it’s more often chaptered.

Totally get that. I might have a problem doing the proofread because I have a similar policy. Currently, I just post one chapter at a time and reread it probably twice before posting.

Okay, maybe I should just go ahead and post some of the stuff. I suppose I space things out to make sure people have the time to notice the story update.

Well being unemployed is like a super long vacation. So I have a couple stories I completed. One is a 7 part story in the Buffy category, a single chapter story in the TV category which may or may not turn into more chapters later. A two part story in the Buffy category. A 5 part story that I wrote a long time ago which isn’t finished in the Buffy category. I also have 5 chapters finished of the story I’m currently writing the second to last chapter for. Also, I have a very old story that I’m debating putting out there again because it’s probably the darkest story I ever wrote which is finished in the Buffy category. Technically, I have 3 finished chapters of the piece that inspired this post in the TV category which I will probably be combining into one chapter or possibly two. Mainly because the first two are mostly set up and the third kinda begins what I outlined over the weekend.

Do you at least post them or is it a wait until they’re finished?

Do you post them as you go?

One every couple of days? Currently my schedule is once a month. I have thought about maybe posting in other sections. For instance, my current piece that’s getting posted monthly is in the Buffy category. Whereas I have some that would go in the Television category. But a lot of my finished pieces are in the Buffy category.

Hmm, I’m not seeing anything in my settings but supposedly I can use add-ons that are Java related. Maybe one of those will work?
