How did you get so good at writing??? Did you take classes? I feel like you should get paid all the money for this! (I subscribe to your website!)

after i dropped out of high school i found a torrent of like 5GB of OCRd romance novels and i read like 3 romance novels a day for a while

read enough romance novels and you will realize that they live or die entirely on technical skill. if you are new to romance novels then even bad ones can dazzle you with novelty but by the time you are on your 30th historical fake engagement between a bluestocking and a rakish duke you can grade them and you know when they've failed. when two books have what should be the same main characters hitting the same plot beats, but one of those books is delightful and the other fucking sucks, you learn some things. some books are bad and still delightful. other books are good but they just don't hit. you start to see the seams in the bad ones. 'oh, this is a weird out of character moment because she wanted to have the kabedon moment and didn't know how to get there'. 'she didn't want the ust to end but couldn't think of a better reason than this deus ex cockblock.' that kind of thing.

you could probably do this with other genres but i like romance because the plot is two people fall in love. that's it. everything else is set dressing. if you can figure out how to make that work you can carry it over into whatever other genre you feel like. mysteries would give you a different skillset around plotting that i don't have.

anyway after that i wrote a lot.

Hermione smiled as Draco and Theo picked up their wands again. “We’ll show you everything.”

they had better had pulled a rabbit out of a hat, bitch. or transfigured a rabbit into a hat and then back again!!!! that would be my first request lmfao

.......and then that's p much the end! there's a little scene from 2 years later but it's about the muggle's baby being magical and hermione says something sweet to shannon and then that's the end!!!!

summary:

After the war, Draco Malfoy seeks refuge from infamy in the Muggle world. A friendly Muggle couple takes him under their wing, but there’s a problem: they are intent on setting him up with their best friend, Hermione Granger. Or, in which the Muggle friends Hermione Granger undoubtedly would have had will not take no for an answer.

i'm really excited to read this! morriganmercy's fic "ten out of ten" is the only fic with the "slow burn" trope where i have actually enjoyed that particular aspect, that made me squirm with delight, that kept me interested and so much more so i am so interested to see how this one goes! also..... bi-hermione? gay shit?! yessssss! yes! yes yes yes!

and! DUAL POV's!!!! DUAL POV'S! THEY BOTH GONNA BE SPEAKING FROM BEYOND THE FIC AND I--

i have a feeling that i will be wanting to inject this fic directly into my veins. i love all the tags. love. LOVE.

name a more iconic duo than me and an ambitious AU i have neither time nor energy to work on

I've just remembered that the Ignika canonically cursed everybody and most people who weren't their Chosen or Mata Nui if they touched the mask.

Ignika as a person probably is covered from neck to toes, always with long sleeves and pant legs, closed shoes, and even gloves, no matter how warm and humid it is.

Ignika is the most touch-averse person in the entire world. He's dressed like you said, neck to toes covered at all times. Hands off the merchandise. Anyone who does touch them without consent will have some Real Bad stuff happen to them, and in Ignika's mind they will have deserved it.

I also really like your idea of Ignika observing the Inika for a while before approaching them. Matoro has this eerie feeling of being watched randomly at school or out and about and then this beautiful person with golden eyes approaches them one day and says "hello Guardian" with what might be a smile on anyone else and he freaks the fuck out and runs

Eventually Ignika manages to impress on him who it is, and for a while he's the only one it will let touch it at all. After a while though I think he would let the other Inika get a brief touch in here or there--a friendly pat on the back, a hand to help him up when he falls. She still mostly wants Matoro, though. He's not sure how he feels about it.

When I started writing 'lessons in tea making', I set out to make it a longfic that following ATLA Book 2 and 3 in its entirety but now its been almost 5 years and I'm realising that I'm probably never going to get around to finishing this monster of a wip

HOWEVER, I do have around 15k of chapter 2 collecting dust in my google drive so.... what's everyone's opinion on authors uploading (signposted) unfinished chapters....

'colonial AU'?

Cramps and Comfort

->Summary: reader woke up with period cramps and her boyfriend, Rafe is there to comfort her.

->Warnings/Tags: mentions of blood obviously, not canon Rafe at all, idiotic boyfriend but in an endearing way, fluff.

->A/n: not proofread, I wrote this within an hour this morning, probably not the best work. it’s short and sweet >:)

You felt a rush of pain in your lower abdomen upon opening your eyes. Your legs instinctively lifted as you twisted your upper body, trying to find a position for relief.

You would have kept trying had your boyfriend not been blissfully unaware, sleeping beside you. His chest rose and fell at a slow pace, so even though you wanted to be in his arms, you decided to let him sleep. You got up quietly and slowly, with every step to the bathroom you nearly winced in pain.

After sitting down on the toilet, you looked down and saw streaks of blood between your thighs, and blood-soaked panties. “Damnit.” You brought your elbows up, setting them on your thighs so you could rest your head in your hands.

You heard steps coming towards the bathroom door followed by a light knock.

“If you need to pee, you’re gonna have to wait.” Your voice came out low and gravelly. There was no part of you worried about him coming in, he’d seen this many times before now and he never made it a big deal.

The door opened, “Why? Are you taking a shit?”

“No, Rafe. M’not taking a shit. I started my period.”

His joking banter ended with that sentence, an understanding tone took over. “Do you need anything?”

Still with your head down in your hands, you reply “Yeah, can you plug in my heating pad? I’m gonna take a quick shower.”

You can hear foot steps walk away so you get up and flush, walking to the sink to rinse the blood off of your panties. You open the door to your closet, grabbing a new pair along with an oversized shirt before turning on the shower and getting in.

You twist the nob to the hottest setting your body will allow, and after washing your body, you let the water run over your lower back. Rafe re-emerges and peaks his head into the shower curtain, “You doing okay?”

You give him a look instead of replying.

“C’mere.” He reaches his arms out and places a hand on your waist, using his free hand to caress you while you continue standing underneath the water.

“You’re gonna get all wet. And the floor.” As good as it felt, you were concerned about his clothes and the water that was now splashing outside of the tub.

“I’ll clean it, baby.”

You closed your eyes and sank into his gentle touch. His fingers brushed against your skin, lovingly moving up your back and back down again. After two years of being together, he had picked up on a lot. The first time he was in your presence while it was this bad, he had asked you what felt like a million questions.

“Are you hungry?”

“Do you want to be alone?”

“Am I talking too much?”

“What’s the difference between these pads? Which one did you say you wanted?”

By now, he knew what kind of mood you were in, what you needed and how to proceed. You never asked him to, but he loved you and it was a way he knew how to show that.

It wasn’t long before your uterus decided you’ve been standing for long enough, causing a groan to escape your lips. “Can you hand me my towel?” You turn off the water.

“I’ll be right back, I’m gonna go grab a rag to clean the water up.”

You nodded your head, grabbed a pad and put it into place, sliding your panties on. After putting on your shirt, you slowly made your way to the bed and laid stomach down on the heating pad. You heard Rafe enter the bathroom, coming out only a minute later. The bed sunk further in as he got on, inching closer to you and you turn your head so you can look at him.

He takes his hand, rubbing your lower back again, this time going even further down to your ass. He lightly squeezed it before going back up. If you weren’t in pain, it would have turned you on. But you were just comforted by his touch.

“You just couldn’t help yourself, could you?” You joke.

“Could never resist an ass grab. It felt good though, huh?” He smirks at you and you return a smile.

“Come closer, I wanna lay on you.” You remove the heating pad from underneath you, laying it on your back. After your boyfriend turned from his side onto his back and opened his arms, you crawled towards him, hiking a leg up to wrap around him and laying your head on his chest.

His arms tighten around you, holding the much needed heating device in place. “You’re so warm, it’s like I have a portable heater for a girlfriend.”

You let out a laugh and feel a kiss being planted on your head. Your pain had subsided and you felt yourself dozing off from feeling an occasional cold thumb stroking your skin.

Keep Your Head Up, Nothing Lasts Forever

i can't believe this is the first piece of tma fic i'm publishing, but also it's very on brand for me, i can admit that lmao

(and no this isn't the longfic i was polling for formatting on, this is, if you can believe it, an entirely different longfic. yeah i know, im not sure how i ended up here either.)

i've got SO many plans for this fic, hope y'all enjoy :3

Summary:

Gerry wakes up. It's March of 2012 and Gerry wakes up. He's not dead anymore, shoved five years back into the past and back into his living, breathing, 24 year old body, and he realizes that this is a do-over. There are a lot of things he'd like to fix.

[lawful-evil-novelist]

Maybe giving Jason!Robin and Orphan!Cass a week of overlap was a bad idea.

[unpretty]

yeah, that's the fic

the worst oc i ever made was a dc oc i came up with in middle school. her deal was that whenever she died she just got better. like she’d wake up in an hour and be fine. it depended on how she died, quicker and cleaner meant she’d be better faster. idk i didn’t think through all the details because the reason this character was terrible was that her solution to every problem was to kill herself. she traumatized like ten different heroes because they were trying to save her from something and she just went “nah” and shot herself in the head. i don’t remember what made this seem like a good idea for an oc. probably depression. don’t make ocs when you’re depressed.

*giggles excitedly and kicks my little feet* guess who's about to get into BLOODY, SLUTTY, AND PATHETIC by WhatMurdah?

ME, bitch 🥰🥰🥰

it was published over about 5 months in 2024 (so it's complete obvs, i don't read WIPs sorry not sorry), is 21 chapters, and just over 195K words! so a nice sized fic that i'm about to devour like a starving man, tysm.

i am and have truly been looking forward to this fic ever since someone on reddit said they have never seen draco simp and pine and be stupid for hermione harder than he ever has in this fic. i think they said she slaps him in public and then he is just like, "omg she fucking touched me!!!!!!!! *nuts*" like... LMAO yes bitch. yes pls! and then that possessive draco tag is staring at me like 👀😈 and i'm staring back like 👁👄👁💖

this will be my FIRST EVER marriage law fic and i am so happy that it is this one. i can't wait to see what happenssssss. i have tried to avert my eyes from the hype, summaries, think pieces and such because i'm not trying to set myself up or know too much or be disappointed or go off anyone else's interpretation, i just want to let the fic take me where it's gonna take me!!!! i want to scream, cry, giggle, pine, laugh, throw up, feel the feels, etc. my body is ready!!! *rubs hands together vigorously*

summary:

“In my humble opinion there’s only three things that men should be and that is bloody, slutty, and pathetic.” And, on a good day, Draco Malfoy can be all three. When war heroine Hermione Granger and Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy are forced to wed as part of Shacklebolt’s controversial Reconciliation Act, they openly fight the match and each other—their public brawls breathlessly reported by the press. Secretly, a deeply traumatized Draco delights in Hermione’s attention and pines for a real marriage with her—even as her forced proximity to the Black family magic irritates the cursed scar Bellatrix left on her arm, reminding her why she can never truly trust or forgive him. Then Hermione discovers that Draco’s blood will soothe the scar . . . and Draco is willing to trade his blood for her body. (With post-war blood purity politics, black market potioneers, Pansy Parkinson’s career advice, the Malfoys blackmailing Hermione’s Wizengamot opposition, BDE Neville Longbottom hunting Death Eaters, a slutty Theo Nott serving as Draco’s right-hand man, and Crookshanks loose in Malfoy Manor.)

I’ve started referring to synth!Cooper in my notes as Scoop. Which. Is probably juuuust silly/practical enough for Lucy to also come up with but for all of our sanity’s sake I will not include.

[magicalgirlmascot]

Kopaka’s a cat person, Tahu is decidedly NOT, Lewa loves every single creature on Earth… how are the other Toa and Turaga when it comes to cats, dogs and other critters?

Tahu: dog person, but specifically big dogs. The bigger the better. His ideal dog is a small horse. Hates cats.

Gali: neutral on the cats vs dogs debate. Likes both fine enough, but would prefer a giant fish tank that takes up an entire wall or a koi pond. Snail enjoyer.

Lewa: friend to all living things. Has never met an animal he hasn't wanted to pet, including ones that are actively trying to kill him. And fish.

Onua: no strong opinions but used to have an ant farm as a kid. Could definitely be convinced to get something small like a guinea pig pretty easily.

Pohatu: dog person, but also likes cats. He's one of those insane people who likes going jogging in all kinds of weather so taking the dog for a walk has never been an issue for him.

Kopaka: cat person. His grandparents had one when he was a kid and he can't imagine not having one in the house. Spoils his cat rotten. Hates dogs.

Vakama: got bit by a dog once when he was a kid and developed a fear of dogs that it took him several decades to overcome. Is now fine with them but doesn't want one in his house. Neutral about most other animals.

Nokama: likes animals well enough but doesn't want fur all over her house. Lives vicariously through other people's pets.

Matau: wants a snake so bad but all his money is constantly going into his car and motorcycle. Also a bird guy but knows he definitely doesn't have the time to dedicate to bird care.

Onewa: cat person, despite it all. A little annoyed that Krahka only turns into a cat when she's upset. Had to become okay with a lot of animals very quickly when their relationship became serious.

Whenua: more interested in wild animals than in keeping any as pets. Goes on a lot of nature hikes and points out all the signs that certain animals have been there to whatever poor sap got suckered into going with him. Usually Nuju.

Nuju: anything except birds.

to me, writing is a lot like solving a puzzle.

sometimes I know what I need to do to get from point A to B and I just have to execute all the right steps and get it done. sometimes i've got a vague idea of what's got to be done but until I do it, the exact shape of it is unknown. sometimes i've got to just bash my head against the wall and hope it gets me somewhere.

and sometimes there's a moment where everything clicks into place and i feel like a genius. and honestly nothing beats that feeling
