June of Doom & Gloom - Week 3 discussion and etc. post

[huinare]

A slightly belated welcome to the third week of this here.

Have another update/progress/discussion post thing. Any progress in your writing, frustrations, new plot bunnies? Feel free to gab. General discussion question (all welcome, participants or otherwise): Are there particular characters you tend to victimize select more frequently as subject matter when writing sad, scary, or otherwise not-lighthearted stories? or particular groups/settings/time periods? Put another way, are there certain characters who just can't seem to catch a break from you in your fanworks?

Uh.... well it's turning out a lot *stranger* than I expected ... with a definite element of kink in there. And some pseudo-het and an element of dub-con... so just yeah. :/

There's probably a lesson to be learned somewhere, though what it is idek. Keep me away from the keyboard? Maybe? ::shrugs::

Btw, when do we post? Any special time?

Elements of dub-con are certainly not exactly lighthearted. I mean, I'm personally pretty difficult to shock (although I do worry I may have acquired an anti-sex reputation through some incidental comments I made, which may have been easy to misinterpret in context).

Post whenever you want! This thing was a pretty casual and non-rule-bound whim of mine, so whatever typically works for you, be it drafts/excerpts or waiting until you feel confident that it's all ironed out. I'll probably do a roundup post in early July, for those who want to include links to their stories officially in said post.
