I've not whinged like this since.... the last time I said I'd write something big for a fest. Yay!

It's month to go till the deadline for [livejournal.com profile] hprarefest arrives and I have... very little written. I self-prompted and I actually had an idea of what I was going to write at the start of the thing but then I got distract writing for [livejournal.com profile] hp_humpdrabbles's humpfest and now I'm trying to get back to rarefest and I'm just not enthusiastic about it at all. Eh.

Basically, as its been pointed out I have three option;
1) Force myself to write anyway
2) drop out
3) procrastinate some more.

Always take the third option, friends.

Sounds like this very wise person left out a few options.

4) Self-prompt something entirely different.

5) Keep the basic premise but simplify it to one big smut scene.

6) Keep the basic premise but change the pairing. (Guess who I'm voting for?)

7) Try to break the block by writing cocky!James. :D

Anyway, I'm currently exercising option #3, but I'm seriously considering dropping out, as much as it pains me. Because #1 is absolutely not an option for me. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow, and it would be a tragegy if I'd spent today forcing myself to write an R-rated conversation instead of plotting the filthy, smutty, cross-gen (possibly incestuous) infidelity fic that I want to write. Ya feel?

Daye. Will you write some infidelity fic? Pretty please? I'm dying to see a guy accidentally fall for two sisters (James/Molly/Lucy FTW). And I may or may not be attempting a Louis/Rose veela-powers type intervention here.

YOU. So I just clicked on that link, and I saw the words "PG-13" and "growled". And I have to ask if I want to torture myself this way.

(The answer is yes.)

Al instead of James? Either way. Let's say one of them is seeing sweet, shy Lucy. And then rebel!older!Molly puts the moves on him.

Ooh. Or maybe James is seeing older!Molly. And sweet, shy Lucy unexpectedly puts the moves on him.

IDK. I just want to see a guy get seduced by his girlfriend's sister. *types out loud*

OH MY GOD.

Even better if it's the second one, and James is trying to be all on-the-down-low about his relationship with Molly. So Lucy doesn't even know he would be cheating on Molly. OR MAYBE SHE DOES. fjdksiowe.

Oooh, does this mean you're writing some variation of it right now? *handflap* Details are unimportant. Carry on.

You can do it! I believe in you! Just give me 500 crappy, poorly written words of moral dilemma!

You know, I'm really surprised sometimes that you don't just tell me to STFU. I bet you want to. :P

I see Audrey as a brunette. Think Megan Fox. (fdsdf. FWEF.) I love the idea that Percy Weasley would almost accidentally score a gorgeous, pouty-lipped bombshell who had a thing for geeks. Can't you just see him bringing her home, and his brothers are like, "Yeah, she's pretty, but obviously she's lost her mind." :D

So one of his 2 kids could be similar in looks to her. I do like to think one would look more like Percy, but maybe with curls, and no one knows where she got the curls from. (Yes, I've used that one before.)

When I'm stuck I just stare at what I have in the word document and force my hands to just. type. something. Once you get started, even if it isn't good, it'll come more easily. I promise.

Hm try listening to music or watching a movie to get your mind on something different. That might help with the inspiration.

I should be able to finish my hprarefest entry soon, I'm close to the end. I gave myself little mental break for a while and wrote a few other small things, but I need to finish this one before I do anything else for rarepair_shorts

When I'm stuck, I have to switch gears entirely - write on the completely opposite spectrum. I.e., trying to write fluff? write dark instead. Then flip back every half hour or so to see if the fluff starts working again.

What helps me is to write down all the stuff that is already stablished in my mind (like say I'm writing a Harry/Luna fic- and I know they kiss and when and how- I write that scene and then figure out how to get to that point. Or I write the middle of the fic and then figure out the beginning and end)

Listening to music also helps me...
