WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE WRITERS BLOCK

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE WRITERS BLOCK

SO, I LOVE fanfiction, it is my main source of entertainment and joy in life, especially in these troubled times.

And I read a variety of fandoms and pairings

I also WRITE fanfiction; usually inspired by an episode/part of the book/movie not going the way I would like it to (usually in respect of my OTP of choice) 

Now, I don’t write for every fandom I read, but I have written something in most of the fandoms I have become invested in.

HOWEVER, whenever I start to write something that is getting lengthier, something I am really starting to feel proud of, its like I run out of steam. I, along with my readers, am DESPERATE to know what happens next (or sometimes, I have the end all mapped out but am stuck between here and there). BUT I AM TOTALLY BLOCKED AND HAVE NO WAY TO GET THERE!

Way back when, LJ used to be the place I would go to beg for assistance from the relevant community, but its so desolate and forgotten now. And although I LIVE on AO3, there is no facility on there (that I am aware of) to ask for assistance beyond maybe leaving a Note on the story itself (which I have done on some)

Currently, I have about a dozen fics of varying lengths in a variety of fandoms; some of which I don’t even read anymore, but I CAN’T bring myself t orphan or abandon the fics because I am proud of them and I really want to see them finished; I just need a little help and/or inspiration.

I am begging for assistance/guidance/ANYTHING. If anyone is interested in helping or has any ideas where I could/should go for help, please PLEASE let me know.
