Tough 2 (28 April)

If the S in Harry S Truman is any guide the middle initial in these gentlemen's names doesn't stand for anythin...

Fanfic ideas

Therefore, it somehow falls on the Thorntons to care for Margaret until a suitable situation can be found for her (and therein lies the biggest issue with this scenario, for I cannot quite figure out how such a thing could be made even remotely acceptable under the social norms of the time); cue Mr...

Fanfic ideas

It would be acceptable for Margaret to stay at Marlborough House as long as Mrs Thornton (or Fanny) is present - she's there as Mrs T's guest, or even paid companion. If Mrs T wasn't there, then it would be awkward. I mean, there was some room around the edges: Mr Bell can stay for a couple of days ...

Margaret/Nicholas fanfic idea - Baby’s 1st Fic….HELP!

I agree with other commenters that the class difference would be the biggest thing to tackle in your story. That doesn't mean don't do it, but that dealing with that tension will probably provide a lot of the action and internal conflict. Also... if you're going to write an unusual pairing, I think ...

To Finish (and post) or to Post (before you finish)

Also, my stories tend to get very few comments; and many of them are quite negative and/or aggressive to boot. Posting at ff.net with their anonymous guest comments is not for the faint of heart, lol. I can take it on the chin and laugh at such comments--but only when my story is finished and I am ...

I'll admit that I do avoid Fanfiction.net, because it feels like the audience are meaner...

At least with AO3, you can turn comments off if you need to.

To Finish (and post) or to Post (before you finish)

I wonder if it might help to write the final chapter right now (even if only as a rough draft), so that you have something to work "towards", and you can still experiment with things within the intervening chapters while keeping all the details in the back of your mind rather than try to ...

Oh man, so I've been working on a story that's longer than normal for me. I'm 2/3 through the third last chapter and I'm getting writer's block. Even though I know what's supposed to happen from now on in a lot of detail. (Probably because of that.) Right now, I think the only thing that's keeping m...
