Does fanart go here too? Because I want to share this, which is a little outside what petite-madame usually does, but I think it's lovely and evocative.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That isn't her usual palette, but it fits the subject so beautifully. She does insightful work.

I just wasted half an hour naming strippers (I was plotting, then got sick of calling one of them "that girl".

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
If it makes you feel better, I've just spent a fruitless 15 minutes Googling "stages of dating" because I can't think of a better way to say "courtship" for a character who would only use the word if she had to fill in the blank "____ of Eddie's Father" in a trivia contest (and she wouldn't be in a trivia contest anyway). I've got nothing. And "preliminaries" doesn't work either.

Who, moi? I've hit a point where I realized that I really needed to get more specific with my outline and figuring out that shit in detail and where to foreshadow it, because there are new threads weaving in and OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING?!!
If not me, then nebbermind . . .
Also, was blessed with a wicked beta (grammar, plot, character-voices, pacing, movement...) and then someone else swooped in and saved me from coding, because they like it.
Really, I just wanted them to make out and get beat up a lot.

Okay, but you haven't said when a new chapter.
I found a challenge that fits the theme of the fic I'm working on. That would mean I delay posting for many months, but maybe I'll do it.

Sorry, the verbal diarrhea was my way of saying "likely not this week, possibly late next".

She's a cop. The guy she's saying it to might say "woo" while doing that very thing - but he would probably have to get her drunk first, or he'd end up crawling around on the floor trying to find her eyes for her after they rolled right out of her head.
