A Brief Whine

[elrhiarhodan]

I've had a really, really good run of it the past six weeks. The Pairings fic, my Peter!Whump fic, a bunch of timestamps and other fics.

And yesterday and today, I've hit a wall.

I know I need to take my own advice and give my brain a break. Which I think I'll do tonight. But I wanna write. I've got terrific prompts from my flist for timestamps - working on two of them now. Also have the Big Bangs, other really solid story ideas. Plus a new idea that I'm actually a little reluctant to write about, because it involves some nasty current events (which I may write and hold on to, if I can't get the plot bunny out of my brain).

It's just that it's very quiet at the office and it would have been a perfect day to get lost in fic. Oh, well. Can't have everything, now, can we.

I know the muse will come back - maybe tomorrow, maybe over the weekend. Just need to give myself a break.

And for the promised Bonus Bomer...

You know what's been working for me lately? Self-imposed word warring. I set my timer and pretend I'm writing against everyone else. Did nearly 1800 words that way yesterday. It kept me on point when all I wanted to do was hit Tumblr and look at pics of my movie and tv boyfriends.

I've been thinking about that! I may try it tomorrow, if the quietude lasts.

Today, I sort of fell into the K/S fic pit and only just dragging myself out of it.

It's a good pit to be stuck in. Let me know if you want recs ;)

[elrhiarhodan]

Always will be happy for good recs...

Anything with a lot of UST, preferably from Spock's POV.

That's a hard one - usually it's the other way around. But try this one on for size:

:D

Actually, if you want some of the best Spock EVER WRITTEN OF EVER (and don't mind that it's a WIP that will likely never be finished), then try this one on for size:

Also, there's plenty of the UST in this one, all the way around: http://archiveofourown.org/works/55410

And oh yeah, this one:

It's the same story, told first from Jim's POV, then from Spock's. The Jim one's great, romantic even, but the Spock one will devastate you.

AU where Spock is a police detective; the UST is epic until they get together, then you get standard Jim-is-fucked-up stuff, but it's all good. Also, tremendous H/C. This is one of those fandom must-reads, for sure
