You don't have to, just say how many words you are aiming for in say a week and then check back to say if you made it. If it'd work better for you to own up to your WIP then go for it.

You can do it, anon. And maybe twist the dagger a bit on the way out.

It's all ways a pain trying to work out where and how to stop. I guess try for a point which makes sense to the focus of the story you are trying to tell. I have faith in you, anon.

Goddamn it, I was driving home from work and had come up with a good way to remove dagger via twisting it painfully. AND NOW I FORGOT WHAT IT WAS.

FUCK. Mine is an evil fucking muse.

I usually know where I want the characters to end up, and I keep going until they are where I want them. So I'd think back to where your protagonist was at the beginning, and what their problem was. Most of the time, the story's done when they've solved that problem or realized that wasn't their problem after all and solved the real problem.

Getting really tired of the Isles goalie controversy. Partially don't care how it's resolved as long as it GETS resolved, partially want to see it resolved in a particular way but who the fuck even knows anymore.

I think it was Jamie/Tyler - Jamie has a secret cow and puts it in his backyard. He might also then get a goat? In keeping them a secret he doesn't spend as much time with Tyler, until the Sharp children find out & then drama where the rest of the team find out.

I really hope Parise drops out. Reports say his back isn't 100% yet, so I really wish he'd take the few extra weeks to keep resting up.

Fair warning, it's K/T. I don't read that pairing obv but I like sahiya's work, so when I see she has new fic I just read it for the writing and nothing else. Anyway, the writing was good. It helps if you just skip the PKane chapters (among everything else his career path is about as plausible as Ryan Lochte becoming the head of the UN), and pretend the fic is about Toews coming to terms with his life after hockey and making peace with it. Those parts are great. The sections with Sid are lovely and sad, and she's writing a separate fic about him in that verse, which is exciting.

She tends to load on the whole Toews grows an organic garden and cares about the environment thing tho, which can be annoying, ymmv: “No, I didn't check my email this morning. I thought we said we didn't want flowers.” They were wasteful, Jonny had always thought. He'd wanted a zero carbon footprint wedding, but his mother had told him in no uncertain terms that that wasn't going to happen unless he planned it himself. So he'd settled for trying to make it as waste-free as possible and making a sizable donation to his favorite environmental organization instead.

Anyway, this post is not an endorsement of K/T fic, I just wanted to say how I liked the parts I did, pls lets not let this devolve into a wank thread lol.

I finally decided to read that Sid/Claude bodyswap WIP that keeps showing up in the tags. It was inoffensive enough until I got to the part where Sid only gives the cup to Daley because it's Claude in his body and he doesn't know to give it to poor Duper. Noped out of there so fast.

Cause of this comment, I skimmed through for the Crosby parts. Lovely and sad is right, why did I do that to myself? Now I need her fic about him.

I ended up reading enough about Kane to believe that was some serious tampering he was doing regarding signing Strome.

Re: What's up with Your Team: It's August Edition

From: (Anonymous)
If these rumors are true and Dallas really did sign Jiri Hudler, I'm definitely going to need some fic where he joins in with Faksa and Hemsky's Daddy thing they've got going on.

Feeling kinda nervous that Val still hasn't signed tho.

I started working on a fic about a (really ridiculous lol) comment thread we had on deke and I'm 4000 words in, but nothing much of the plot has happened yet, so now I'm paralysed by the fear that it will never end. :/
I considered posting it... somewhere as I go along, but I think that'd be even worse, ugh.

Re: Memebang- WIP encouragement

From: (Anonymous)
Ooooo I've been considering writing a deke-inspired, most ridiculous story myself.

Why would it be worse if you posted it as a WIP?? Sometime the guilt/accountability of a posters WIP works for me.

Re: Memebang- WIP encouragement

From: (Anonymous)
I think the guilt would get to me, yeah. :/ Maybe it could work as motivation, but I'm trying to... keep my writing experience happy I guess? It was supposed to be my anti writers block story lol, but I should have known how that goes!

lol, what'd your ridiculous story be about (if you want to say)? :D

Re: Memebang- WIP encouragement

From: (Anonymous)
I'll totally say. Because work is insane and I have a stupid summer cold and I'd much rather talk about ridiculous story ideas than deal with real life today.

So a million years ago we talked about how in all his interviews Dylan Larkin is boring AF. And not long after that conversation I watched Drive Me Crazy which is a super campy 90's movie with Sabrina the teenage witch and the guy from Entourage where the 2 main characters who live next door to each other date because of exterior motivation (she needs a date for a big event, he broke up with his long-term girlfriend.)

So I have this idea that the Wings tell Dylan that he needs to have a life and he goes to AA and cries to his college pals and Zach offers to date him because wtf ever they've been friends since they were kids and he can help a friend (or maybe some other reason that I haven't figured out). And then they fake date and have fun end up actually falling in love the end.

I did not hate this story. I read the k/t parts because I can't scan for shit and it was easier to just read the whole thing. I would say the k/t storyline was innocuous enough that my brain could parse them as kind of original-ish characters that I didn't want to stab myself (they're old and not really hockey players anymore so much as they're dudes trying to find themselves after leaving the one thing they've always know sort of thing)

I unexpectedly really enjoyed the Kane + Stan Bowman parts which were few and far between but read really true to me. Also I can kind of imagine Connor McD coming out exactly the way me did which I enjoyed as well.

SA.

Also the author always makes a point to say the Toews is drinking gluten free beer. Which made me laugh.

Re: Memebang- WIP encouragement

From: (Anonymous)
DA

That is a beautiful idea, nonnie, and I, for one, would read the shit out of that.

Also, I definitely read AA as Andreas Athanasiou at first, and had a glorious vision of what that love triangle would look like. Your idea is just as great, but now I have to clean off all the water I sprayed all over my laptop screen. (note to self: stop drinking while browsing the internet)

Re: Fic Discussion-You and Me of the 10,000 Wars

From: (Anonymous)
Toews' therapy hour is the most boring part of the fic for me, and Crosby's sad future of not remembering winning the Cup was just too ham-fisted imo. I enjoy the post-career relationship navigation and learning to do different things, though, even though the author is playing incredibly fast and loose with how things work.

Hampus Lindholm to replace Kronwall. That is a ridiculous upgrade, oh my god. Sweden's blueline is absolutely the best in this tourney.

That is an amazing idea, nonnie! I love fake dating and I love that one boring Dylan Larkin interview I saw lol (I didn't know all of them are!). That sounds like a really sweet story, really. And fake dating because you need to be less boring is just a funny premise lol
