Do you have some other story ideas and things you are working on? I assume AMLT is your main priority right now but do you have some other ideas? I'm not trying to say that you should I really like AMLT that's one of my favourite fics ever I'm just courious. So could you share ideas or things you are working on and will work on? If you want to share them ofc

No, at the moment I'm only working on AMLT, it's consuming all my spare time tbh.

The only thing turning round in my head is the "Cruel Summer" random hook ups idea but I've not actually written anything, just talked to a friend about some ideas.

I think the 2 things I'll focus on after this is either the final installment in the Midnight series or the "This is what you came for" story where half is written and the other half I'm stuck on. If I can find inspiration for finishing that, that would be nice as it's really annoying to have a half written fic just sitting there with no idea on how to finish it.

Is chapter finished?

I think so but I want someone to read it through before I post it and my reader-through-ers are all busy with life shit.

Hopefully won't be too long! Sorry, I know this is a much bigger delay than planned. But the good news is I don't think the next chapter will be too long unless I add extra scenes.

Why did your friend stop writing ffs?😭 I really like everything she wrote, why did she stop?

She's not definitely stopped forever, she's just not feeling it right now, which I completely get. Partly Haylor being less inspirational these days and partly just wanting a break. It's easy for me cuz I just live in the past, whereas her fics are more present and Haylor aren't Hayloring enough these days.

I agree though she's an amazing writer. I'll pass your message on. ❤️

Do you think you will post next chapter by the end of this week

I'd like to think so but it's a bit more plot-heavy than the last few so I'm kinda waiting for some help on it because I'm not sure. So it's just one of those things. If not, I don't have much time today but I have more on Friday so I'll see if I can get there.

"If I do say so myself, some of them are bloody good."

I need to correct you on this it's not some it's ALL because ALL of them are incredible and perfect.

Aww thank you so much 🥰🥰

Not sure if I've mentioned this before (probably have) but I write fics that I'd want to read myself and I've got enough distance on some of them now that I can read them back as a reader rather than an author and it is FUN! 😂 Is It Over Now? = 🔥

Weirdly, I think my fave thing I've ever written was the break up/argument in Passports in Footwells though. Because that was HARD WORK to get right, I had to tear it apart so many times and when I finally finished it, it felt like a huge accomplishment. Have to give @emmainldn a lot of credit for that one too, I think she had to read like 35 different versions of the same scene 😂❤️

Hi, happy NYD, I have a ff idea. Would you like to write a pregnancy ff that is set in 2013 or 2014. That would obviously take long to write and all but that's just an idea. I think it would be interesting

I feel like there's already been loads of Haylor pregnancy fics written, including some that are actually good if you like that sort of thing? Personally find them kinda hard to read because fluff isn't usually my thing.

If I was gonna write one it would probably be very angsty. I can see potentially something where she's pregnant by H when she gets with Calvin but doesn't know and decides to stay with Calvin and it drives Harry insane. But idk. Honestly, I'm not sure I can even envisage 2013/2014 Taylor ever deciding to keep a baby if I'm honest 😬

It's okay if you don't have time to finish, just like that ao3 comment said it is worth waiting. I am sure next chapter will be perfect and will be worth waiting no matter how long it takes

Ty! Unfortunately it's another case of a chapter of 2 halves - half I love and would happily post right now and the other half I'm not sure on at all. Maybe I should make the chapters a bit shorter to save this issue but the way I've made it be alternating POVs I have certain ground I want to cover for specific POVs 😭

[cloakoflife]

I'm very excited about new chapter.

Sorry it's delayed, struggling with it a little bit now...won't be too much longer though!

[cloakoflife]

I beg you to give them a happy ending in this story pleasee😭🙏 Real life is alredy sad enough, please let them be happy in this one😭

I'm not gonna sayyy how it's gonna end that will spoil the fun! 😜

So this year, I wrote 11 and a half fics totalling over 213,000 words.

Not an achievement I can really brag about on any other social media other than this one, but one I'm damn proud of nevertheless! 🙌

If I do say so myself, some of them are bloody good.

[cloakoflife]

Had this comment on AO3 and just wanna add that although like I said, this fic is like 80% written/planned, I can't begin to tell you how much I'm improving it in this last-minute edits. So although it might be annoying, I promise it's worth it.

[cloakoflife]

NYE chapter is going to be late too, sorry!

It's not for lack of writing, I've just got too caught up with working on the rest of the plot/ending and now I've got to get ready to have half my husband's family around this evening.

It won't be too long, promise, just a few bits that aren't quite finished! 🩷

How is chapter 11 going

Good! About 80% I think. Just want to tidy it up a bit and hopefully have someone take a look at it for me. Hopefully up tomorrow or Tuesday.

Chapters will probably start to slow down a little after that again though as I'm getting towards the more complicated stuff and need to make sure to avoid plot holes/too much inconsistency. 😂

[cloakoflife]

Omg I was waiting for some of their friends to find out, ofc it's Ed and Louis lol I assume chapter 11 is about NYE

🤣🤣

The way everyone probably low-key suspects, but Louis is the only one Louis enough to just call them out on it.

And Ed's just like "huh?"

Yeah, NYE and NYD and things starting to come unravelled....

A Million Little Times Chapter 10

(In my mind Harry is more Prince Harry/LHH than this one now but this is close enough)

[cloakoflife]

I'm very excited about new chapter.

Just up! https://archiveofourown.org/works/60328927/chapters/157830067

[cloakoflife]

Will there be a chapter about Harry's birthday?

Errr not currently. I don't think. Need to firm up the timeline after Chapter 11 tbh so it's not impossible it'll be added. 🤔

Chapter 10 should be up tomorrow, it's nearly almost there, just editing the final bit.
