Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you aren’t a fish… or was that for hiccups? 😅

Sometimes I write a sentence and that’s enough or maybe somebody kidnapped your muse?

Nope. Good luck though! I’m sure you’ll crack it eventually and kick some literary ass!

A few years back I had writer’s block and did a strange creativity exercise that helped a lot. I wrote a kitchen sex scene told from the point of view of the APPLIANCES.

The microwave oven let out another angry, “BEEEP!”, meaning, “Take your sausage out of her, and get your damn fried chicken out of me!”

That’s a tough one.

I vote for writing.  

New story, to help corral all those WIPs that are getting up to no good.

I hear you. It’s been surreal here today.

Been reading up… and there’s authors deleting their stories due to the proverbial game of whack-a-mole, which AO3 makes this easier too with PDF downloading.  AFAICT, the etsy/book-binding is like charging HUNDRED or more bucks for printed/bound copies of particular fanfictions, acting as the publisher.   Yeah, this is pissing the writers off.

Rightfully so!  I was offended as a reader – you, oh bottom feeders, are jeopardizing our “harmless” entertainment.  Go away!

In our defense, downloaded from AFF is not easy.  As a writer, I tried with one of my stories to take a red pen to it.  NO DICE.

Getting high-priced lawyers involved is how you get the new rules around Star Trek fan-films (15 minutes max, no episodes, etc...), or the rights holder goes Anne Rice and prohibits all fanfiction with cease & desist orders.  Anybody rich enough to counter with lawsuits is also well off enough to negotiate authorized derivative works, leaving the average fanfic writer high & dry.  Hope those bottom feeders suffer from papercuts, lots and lots of vicious papercuts.
