Buffista Fic 2: They Said It Couldn't Be Done.
[NAFDA] Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
Ha ha! I have conquered the final chapter of the monster fic that almost ate my brain from the bottom. Now all that remains is the epilogue, which shouldn't be too hard to pull off.
Shhhh, Andi, you'll jinx it.
Slaps her hands over her mouth.
Oops.
I am almost (yay!) done with the monster fic. I'm working on the epilogue, have it almost done except for one final bit. Only problem is, I've backed myself into a corner wrt an emotional thread that has run through the last half of the whole story. I want to have some resolution, and it seems the only way out is smut.
Oh noes.
Ta da! final chapter/epilogue off to the beta reader! For something that is so much fun to read, smut is awfully annoying to write.
It's done! and just in case anyone cares - Domus Hadeum: Or, Where You Live. The House of Hades. "Where I live. Every minute of every day. I've never left. I was hoping to, after I killed Red John. Now I don't know how to leave. Misery loves company, Lisbon. And I'm going to make you live there, too." The Mentalist: Jane/Lisbon; rated M; 43,000 words; AU. At FFN [link] or AO3 [link]
And since I am fairly certain no one here is reading the damn thing I can complain here that none of my reviewers commented on the references to classical mythology throughout. It was all literary and junk. There were pomegranates, dammit.

I agree, I hate when no one comments on what I consider a really well-crafted scene or some nice choreography. Instead it's "Grate! Where's mor?!"
And alas, I spoke too soon. I DID get a comment on that aspect of the story - but it was "why are you so ignorant about ____ that I'm doing my thesis on, and by the way the Latin in the title isn't declined correctly". Thbbpt.
That's ok, now there's a kink meme, and I'm writing stuff for the all-too numerous handcuffs prompts - while at the same time not writing actual bondage into the smut. Seriously, three different prompts for the pairing specifically mentioning handcuffs.
