Anonymous asked: Do you ever write any short stories/ scenes for yourself just to either improve your writing, develop your characters, or for the fun of it?

Kind of. But I do tend to put them out there in some form most of the time. I have a bunch of drabbles on my LJ comm, for instance. And I wrote a short fic quite a while ago called After ‘The End’ which was also a bit of a writing exercise for me. And I have some odds and ends lying around that I will incorporate into things at some point. This includes continuations of two of my fics that are otherwise done. One of them was posted under friend’s lock on LJ 3½ years ago but I decided not to “officially” post it because the amount of people asking me to add even more wouldn’t be worth it. The other one isn’t D/Hr so people following me here probably aren’t too interested in it, but I think I’ll continue it once time allows.

As for original things, it’s not something I’ve ever really had the guts to do. My bf of the past 9 years (and father of my 2 children, obviously XD) has however made a request that I write an original story for his next birthday. That would be in March. So that’ll be interesting. I hope I’ll manage to write the characters and the world without having any previous “canon” to support me. It should definitely help at least my character development skills. I hope. ;)

So… summa summarum, I guess fan fiction in itself is what I do to ‘improve my writing, develop my characters, and for the fun of it’. If I get inspired to write little scenes it either joins my pile of bunnies that don’t have much chance of making it to paper or I incorporate it somewhere. ;)

Anonymous asked: Are you writing a new fanfic or focusing on COCK now that Cake and Other Curses is done?

It’ll take a while before my to-do pile is low enough to focus on COCK, I’m afraid. I have actually finished another story of about 26k words (CaOC was 42k words, so this one is like 6 CaOC chapters. Ish.) that only needs a bit of polish, a name (lol I hate those), and to be chopped up into bits to be posted. I might wait a week or two for that, though. Give myself a bit of a break.

This was my first Bingo Prize fic. Now next on my agenda is to begin/finish my second Bingo Prize fic and then after that, to look over/add to/tweak/etc on Secrets so I can have a healthy buffer based on a strong outline (I really haven’t looked at it in ages so don’t remember how strong it is XD but I do have some new minor ideas to implement) before I begin posting.

I don’t know at what speed I will post any of this yet. It’ll be on a case to case basis.

And COCK will remain my background project. :)

Anonymous asked: I miss your amazing and smart posts in response to peoples questions. :) Also, the last chapter of CaoC was AMAZING!

Aww. ♥ Well, I can’t respond to questions that aren’t there. :D Although, granted, I’ve been completely MIA lately anyway. Been a bit sick and, so, downloading the first couple of seasons of Gossip Girl and watching those seemed like a much better idea. XD

Don’t ask me why it had to be Gossip Girl. I really don’t know. Never watched it before.

And thank you so much! You have no idea how hard I worked on that chapter. Seriously. So many hours, so much stress. The original version was balls, but I think in the end I ended at something decent and I’m so happy it was well-received!

Title: Cake and Other Curses

Genres: Angst, Drama, Health, Humour, Romance, Smut

Summary: Hermione is far too fond of cake and all but attached to Harry at the hip. Generally, it’s working out for her, but lately Draco has been annoying her to death by mocking her weight and her relationship with Harry. One day she spots some logic in his claims that she and Harry ought to be more than friends. Uncertain how to proceed, she agrees when Draco volunteers to help. This turns out to get very confusing very fast, as Hermione finds herself becoming attracted to the wrong person…
