WLW Fanfic Masterpost

Over 2016 this small side blog received a lot of asks inquiring into some good stories to read, so here’s a (rather paltry but hey!) assortment of some fanfics I’d recommend, sorted by pairings! (Also, all of these fics are rated M, apologies for those who are put off by this.) I’ll add to this as time goes on! (Also, again, another side note, many of these I simply ripped out of my story folder, so apologies if the descriptions are a bit vague. It’s been months, if not years since I last saw some of these.)

Bellamione:

-Dark Effects: Complete, it’s been forever since I read this, but I remember this is one of the ones where Hermione sides with Bellatrix in a darker manner. 

-Timeless Longing: Complete, Hermione is sent back in time via a time turner and meets a younger Bellatrix. This is one of the softer fics in this fandom, I suppose. 

-Twin Dragon Heartstrings: Complete, no abuse, Hermione and Bellatrix become a couple very early on. One of the softer and smuttier fics in this fandom.

Bellice:

-What Goes Up: Complete, a personal favourite, there’s not much to say other than that. Healthy progression, albeit a bit quickly, decent plot and lots of AngstTM contrasted by lots of fluff. Worth the read.

-Mesmeric Stranger: Complete, 93 chapters of Bellice. The chapters aren’t too long, so it’s not an absolutely arduous read if you have the time. 

Bubbline:

-Our Perfect Disease: Incomplete, You know how I said we’ve all been disapointed by an author at some point or another? This is why. Amazing story, scattered but progressive plot, and doubtful to ever resume. 

Faberry:

-Better Where it’s Wetter: Complete, I couldn’t make these titles up if I tried. Very, very, very, exceedingly dramatic. Rachel and Quinn go on a LGBT oriented cruise with Rachel’s fathers, and Quinn questions the hell out of her sexuality. Fluff ensues. 

-Defining Happiness: Complete, this won’t be for everyone as there’s a gp in it, however if you overlook that bit, the plot itself is wonderful. The angst/fluff burn is worth the ride.

-I Got Lucky: Complete, focuses on Quinn and Rachel as adults, married, and with children. Goes on to give their kids, who are now in high school, back stories, which might not sound like everyone’s interest, but let me tell you, it’s stellar.

-I’m Getting Older Too!: Complete, sequel to “I Got Lucky”. Just as wonderful as it’s predecessor.

Gelphie:

-Not Completely, Altogether Here: Complete, wonderful, a personal fav. Glinda is essentially a ghost, and Elphaba is the only one who can see her. Heavy with plot and angst, the fluff and smut is well earned.

-Eternity Effect: Complete, sequel to “Not Completely, Altogether Here”, this fic is just as good as it’s prior. 

Keffy:

-99 Problems: Complete, if I had to choose a favourite story, it’d be this. This story is a companion piece to it’s peer, “I Hold a Force I Can’t Contain”, and both run on the same timeline (IHFICC is Naomily, and definitely worth looking into, however 99 Problems is by far preferential imo). A bit edgy at times, it discusses the depth of Effy’s mental health and how Katie stabilizes her. Not the easiest read, however it’s more than worth the trek. About 1/3 through the story the plot lightens and things become easier. I also highly recommend anything else written by the author, HyperFitched.

Kigo:

-Tangled Up in Green: Complete, beginning is a bit fast. Kim is impregnated by Shego from a battle (the process is rather obscure as it happens via a joy buzzer, like a gag prank, but looking past that) the story is worth it. Lots of action and drama +angst/fluff, the story is worth reading if you’re okay with the underlying pregnancy theme.

Malora:

-Her Truest Desire: Complete, smut. There’s no other plot, it’s just very good smut. 

-Peccatum in Carne: Complete, Maleficent is a Latin teacher and Aurora longs to be with her. When they finally get together, drama ensues as Aurora’s father is a rather horrid man. Fluff and angst, smut too.

-Trials and Turbulence: Complete, warning for slight aggression from one of Aurora’s advisors. Everything turns out fine, however, as Maleficent saves the day like always. Aurora turns to Mal when she’s required to marry, and they find a way around it. Easy to read as there’s only 29 chapters, and each one is rather short. 

Reysma:

-Flagrant Foul: Complete, smut. Very, very good. College AU.

-Remaining Human: Complete, smut. Discusses a bit, however, how Rey and Phasma bond to each other and win the other’s trust and love. Fluff, worth the read.

Shepsoni (F Shepard/Liara):

-A Gift for You My Commander: Incomplete, wonderful writing, however sadly abandoned. Still, however, this is one of the few fics I’d recommend that isn’t finished. Female Shepard survives the Reapers and the ending of ME3 and goes on to have a life with Liara. The whole thing is essentially smut and fluff, it’s lovely.

Wayhaught:

-Open Range Hearts: Complete, Nicole is a ranch hand and Waverly owns the ranch with her sister, Wynonna.

well here we are again……..

write, write, write: the “sprint” method

hello fellow writing compatriots in creative crime! i’ve been trying to figure out how i want to kickstart the major writing aspects of this blog, and i figured one of the best ways i could would be to share the writing method i’ve been utilizing for almost two years now known affectionately as “sprinting.”

i’ve shared this with a few of my writing friends and they’ve said it does wonders to help break writer’s block, and i know it has helped me get through some of my most difficult scenes and projects by breaking it down into manageable chunks without literally breaking the scene apart. i’m sure a method like this has existed many a time before, and i wouldn’t be so bold as to claim myself the sole divisor – in fact, my own method was somewhat inspired by a method lauren graham referenced in her memoir, “talking as fast as i can.” so check that book out because it was a fun read, but also read on if you’re feeling frustrated or unproductive with your writing my friends. we shall tackle the struggle together!

the other really nice thing about sprints are that you can do them alone OR with a friend, and both methods are relatively effective. i tend to do sprints with my darling friend emma ( @stevesharrigton ), and the fun part about that is not only do you have someone actively writing with you so you don’t feel so alone in the process and have someone to bounce questions or brainstorm roadblock fixes with, but part of the process involves sharing your favorite part of what you just wrote so there’s immediate gratification and feedback which can help combat the overwhelming feelings of needing to “finish” something in the writing world to be at all acknowledged. so without further ado!

the sprint method in it of itself is actually very simple.

the goal of the sprint is to dedicate all of your concentration towards your wip for a little bit of time again and again until it builds up to a significant amount of effort without even realizing. emma and i always start with one 15 minute round, and usually on a good day we end up spending about 2 hours working on our projects without it feeling like so much at all.

firstly, choose your workspace, as well as set up your desktop / writing workspace. i recommend choosing locations where you feel comfortable writing (at this point i can write anywhere, but my bedroom used to be my sacred spot), and a place with limited distractions as that’s a big part of this methodology.

when it comes to setting up your writing workspace, what i mean by that is you want to create an environment with as little exterior distraction as possible. if you’re working on paper with pen, put all of your devices far away from you, like face DOWN on the table, or even all the way across the room so you’re not tempted to look at messages or scroll mindlessly. if you’re on desktop, you should have only two things open and active on your screen – your wip document, and a “scratch” document (like notes or stickies, etc.).

set your amount of time for your “round.” this can change by round, but i usually start with 15 minutes, and then additional rounds range from anywhere from 15 - 30. for whatever amount of time you end up setting, you will only be focused on the document in front of you. the scratch doc is helpful for if you get other story thoughts and don’t want to forget them, or just want to write “AHHHHHHHH” for all 15 minutes. the point is you’re dedicating ALL your attention to your project for that time: no messaging, no tumblr, etc. give your devotion to that project! it deserves it, and so do you!

write, write, write. spend that set time doing what you said you would do when you set out to sprint – writing. it doesn’t have to be brilliant, you don’t even have to make substantial progress. sprints are a no pressure entity, and their whole purpose is to put something on the page.

take note of your progress. see how many words you managed to write in that time allotment. if you’re writing with friends, share your word count. then, take a moment to find a piece of your work from that sprint that you are really proud of – it can be a whole little exchange, or as minor as a word choice that just seems to really fit. this is where doing this method with friends is really fun, because each of you get to share your work with immediate reactions. it’s also a great way to support each other’s progress!

if you’re feeling energized, sprint again! keep sprinting until you run out of steam by doing those manageable 15 - 20 minute chunks.

if you’re thinking “but can i really disconnect for 15 minutes with no distraction??” trust me, i know its hard to believe, but you certainly can. if you’re worried about missing a text or someone getting worried, you can even explain to them that you’re writing for a set amount of time and won’t be available. writing is part of your day just like anything else – no one will be upset with you if you dedicate some of your time to it!

all this to say, i will note that the sprint method will not magically fix writer’s block or feelings of ennui. you have to be willing to to try the method at all and actually commit to the rules: it’s guaranteed to be ineffective if you sit down to “sprint” and spend 10 of your 15 minutes looking at the phone that isn’t supposed to be part of your world for those 15 minutes, you know what i mean? if you give it your all and it just doesn’t work for you as a writer then that’s totally okay, but you’ll never know unless you truly try!

i’m personally one of those people who believes writer’s block is a myth blah blah blah, but whether that’s true or not, the thing that works about this method is just by putting SOMETHING down, you will already feel a lot better. the way that writer’s block and inactivity in writing is so effective at holding us back is because we get into cycles where the sheer act of writing again can feel intimidating because we haven’t done it for a hot minute. this method serves to break that by just encouraging bit by bit fixes. it won’t knock your mental block down like a sledgehammer, but rather tackles it brick by 15-minute brick.

okay now that i’ve rambled your ears off, crack those knuckles and let’s get writing!!! happy sprinting, y’all! :)

What do you guys think of this chart I found. Considering I am a gemini

What if,,,,I ruined our friendship?? And we were lovers instead?? Ha Ha just kidding......unless...
