taking prompts for Writers' Month!

All right, lovely people. I'm planning to do Writers' Month again this year (31 prompts for the 31 days of August) and I'm looking for ideas again, so if anyone fancies prompting me, please feel free! No limit on numbers of prompts, there are 31 of the buggers so knock yourselves out!

I need a little bit of background to the prompts as I am particularly idea-free at the moment, so if you would be so kind as to give me at least character/s and/or pairing/s, perhaps a setting or one of my 'verses, that would be enormously helpful. I am not good at coming up with AUs, so if you fancy any of the AU prompts, please especially give me a bit of background to play with! I’m happy to expand on any of the ones I’ve written for previous events including Barduil Month…

My AO3 works are here if you want to have a look at what I've written before, and my fandoms list is here (click to expand, there are, uh, quite a few...)

I'm hoping to incorporate the prompts I was very kindly given for Tolkien Gen Week but didn't manage to write - I am utterly exhausted at the moment but I have the last week of July and the first week of August off work so I'm hoping to rest and recuperate enough to be able to participate in this because it's one of my favourite events.

Here are the prompts; please have at them! (ETA: they're either/or, but where I can see a way of combining them I will :D )

word: blossom | setting/AU: on an island

word: perfume | setting/AU: camping AU

word: seashell | setting/AU: at a festival

word: memories | setting/AU: underwater AU (thank you @verecunda and @glorf1ndel your Tolkien Gen Week prompt rather fits this one too...)

word: sun | setting/AU: poolside

word: surf | setting/AU: backpacking AU (thank you @antares0606 for this one!)

word: vacation | setting/AU: in the mountains (thank you @spiced-wine-fic!)

@zutaramonth Day 3: After all these years ||

I just love the idea of them learning to dance together and being so very cute and awkward about it at first 🥺💕.

Brief backstory:

Although they were busy preparing for the war, they still needed time to have fun and de-stress so a small feast with music and dancing seemed like a good idea. Zuko and Katara were pushed to spend time together by the rest of the Gaang because they've had enough of the weird distance between the two, brought by brewing feelings that both weren't sure about acknowledging yet. At this point, they've already resolved most of their issues and were on track to becoming really good friends until the 'complication' happened.

Feelings can be ass sometimes fr.

Somehow, what started as a one time, peer pressured, clumsy bonding attempt between two hyperaware-of-each-other teenagers ended up lasting longer than expected. Excuses would be made to continue dancing together because once the initial awkwardness has passed, they found that it was actually quite relaxing (especially for two usually hot headed people) just going through the motions and communicating with looks and gentle touches what they had zero courage to say out loud. Both were also restless and couldn't always spend their hours training so dancing felt like fair game. A very pleasant and completely platonic way of passing the time with a good friend, or at least that's what they told themselves.

Then the war ended, feelings were finally acknowledged and returned now that there was enough time to reflect and actually do something about it and time continued to pass. No matter the changes and busy schedules that came with adulthood and bearing the responsibilities of ruling/helping rule a nation, some things remained constant. Though they never broadcasted it, the Gaang knew that Katara and Zuko would sometimes be found at night just swaying in each other's arms while they quietly talked about their day. It became a tradition - their way to bond and reconnect after a busy day. It was also muscle memory at this point and something they would naturally drift to doing when the opportunity arose. If they weren't training, lounging and drinking tea or walking arm in arm along the courtyard for a stroll, they'd be dancing.

Ofc the dances varied. Most of the time it was simple, intimate, and didn't require much energy. It was during festivals and other special events where they'd let loose and swap partners with their friends. They definitely would've taught each other's traditional dances too. Most of the time they stuck to couple dances though.

The two would then make it to their golden years surrounded by friends and family. In this au, Aang, Sokka and Suki are definitely still alive and kicking and they, together with Toph, would reminisc about the good old days and pat themselves in the back for helping get Zuko and Katara together. They would've gotten together eventually anyway but the Gaang just sped up the process and the credit for starting the whole dancing tradition goes to them. Aang isn't afraid to admit that he and whoever he married in this au also partake in said tradition; Sokka and Suki would do so every now and then but they much prefer exchanging swords as their love language; Toph is indifferent and much prefers just sitting back and letting them enjoy themselves.

This is way over due but I'm glad I was able to finish it. Will sadly be the only prompt I'll be able to do for zutara month bc life threw a wrench and made me too busy, though I'm still interested in making the other prompts at a later date. /N

Whenever someone asks me how I'm doing, I just say, 'I'm writing.'

It's a multi-purpose answer that covers everything from 'I'm great' to 'I'm drowning.'

5 Tips for Winning Nanowrimo

Plan to write 25 days in a row, not 30. Give yourself wiggle room in case anything happens in the month and you can't write for a day or two.

Grab an accountabili-buddy, someone you can bounce ideas and get through writing blocks with. Share your progress with them as you go.

If you don't have a buddy, still track and celebrate your progress as you make it. Buy an early advent calendar, or draw a design to slowly fill out throughout the month.

If you need to noodle or plan halfway through--you can still count that towards your wordcount goal. Any writing is still progress!

Give yourself a break when you need it. There's more to writing than just getting words on the page ;)

What are some other tips for winning Nanowrimo this year?

Things I have discovered while writing my NaNo project

turns out I'm not the expert speller I thought I was

'says' has lost all meaning

there are so many phrases and sentence fragments I repeat over and over DEAR GOD

god, so many "she/he/they moves" "walks" "goes over there" etc this is excruciating

why do we even need to know where characters are or are going anyway

SO MUCH EYE CONTACT AND EYE EMOTING. I'm running out of synonyms for "look"

transitional paragraphs WHAT TRANSITIONAL PARAGRAPHS

character development is overrated, right?

tenses are outrageous.

its october, its autumn for some fall for others, its cozy blankets with colourful socks, its dark academia books and libraries, its scented candles and vintage aesthetic, its hot coffee and poetry, its dry leaves turned into most beautiful shade of brown.

Wednesday, November 1.

NaNoWriMo.

As one door closes, another door opens. So if you are feeling a little glum, a little blue, a little crestfallen this morning, as you pack your coffins, drone-controlled ghouls, pumpkins, and Normal Human Man costumes into the attic for another year, fear not. Because the passing of October 31st can only mean the arrival of November 1st. And the arrival of this date will be exciting and daunting news for y'all in Tumblr's writing community—it's #nanowrimo. 

Keyboards, touchscreens, typewriters, pens, and quills at the ready, folks. You've got 30 days to do 50,000 words. They are not going to write themselves. 

Good luck x

Unleash the magic of writing this NaNoWriMo!

As Halloween's enchantment fills the air, there's a different kind of magic stirring for writers - the magic of storytelling. Remember that as Halloween's magic gives way to NaNoWriMo's enchantment, you're creating a unique kind of magic yourself. Your words will conjure worlds, characters, and adventures. Your imagination is the wand that brings these creations to life.

Just as Halloween can transform people into a monster for a night, writing invites you to imagine yourself in the place of your characters. The costume you wear on Halloween may be like the mask your character wears, concealing their secrets, and desires.

Take this day to prepare. Whether you're a meticulous planner or a spontaneous pantser, make sure you have your writing space ready, your favorite writing tools at hand, and your enthusiasm running high. 

NaNoWriMo can send a shiver down your spine with the fear of the blank page. But just like on Halloween, don't let fear hold you back. Unleash your writing magic and embrace the journey ahead. Happy Halloween!

Day 17

Double Penetration

MINORS DNI

Warnings: amab soft dom bottom masc reader, Sub top Cater, double penetration, reader referred to as "sir", Cater's signature spell (he fucks with his clone), lil orgasm denial, lil pain play

"Ah," you sigh softly as you settle down in Cater's lap, his cock nestled deep inside your hole, filling you nicely. You could have him like this, and be satisfied, but both of you want more tonight. Glancing over your shoulder, you meet the heavy gaze of Clone Cater.

"Are you ready to join us, love?" you ask.

"Yes please, sir," the Clone Cater stumbles out of the chair from where he'd been watching you from, joining the two of you on the bed.

Original Cater has his eyes shut tight, trying to keep his breathing controlled and slow. His arms are wrapped around your waist, clinging to you tightly. You nearly let him fuck you (it could be fun to make his clone wait and watch), just because he looks so cute trying so hard not to. Fondly, you remind yourself he'll be rewarded for his patience.

The Clone Cater makes himself comfortable behind you, taking the lube from where you dropped it on the bed, and slicking up his fingers.

"Good boy, there we go," you hum as he presses them into your hole, rubbing against Original Cater's cock. Cater gasps at the sensation, and tightens his hold around you. The feeling of his fingers stretching you open around Original Cater's cock makes your own dick throb and leak as you imagine what it'll feel like to be so full.

Clone Cater makes quick work of stretching you open, and you know it's because he's eager to slide himself inside of you.

"Can I fuck you now, please sir?" Clone Cater begs sweetly, rutting himself impatiently against your ass.

"Yeah," you moan, your nerves tingling with anticipation, "I'm ready." Clone Cater wastes absolutely no time with sliding his fingers out, and lining himself up with your filled hole.

You run your fingers through Original Cater's hair, distracting yourself from the uncomfortable stretch that is about to come. He preens under the attention, his green eyes fluttering open to look at you adoringly.

Clone Cater slowly, but surely, presses himself inside of you, rubbing alongside himself, and causing Original Cater to whine.

You tug on Cater's hair when the stretch teeters on painful. He nuzzles into your touch, however rough it may be, and though it's faint, you think you can feel his cock twitch inside you.

"Feeling okay?" you ask Original Cater, who is panting into your skin. He takes a deep breath, and tightens his grip around you, trying to steady himself.

"Yeah," he whines, "I- uh-" he gasps when his clone presses deeper into you, rubbing against his cock, "I should be asking you that."

Overwhelmed with affection, you lean down to capture his lips. Clone Cater must figure this is the perfect time to thrust the last few centimeters of his length into you, because that's exactly what he does. You and Original Cater both moan at the action, mouths still pressed against one another in what barely passes as a kiss.

"Fuck," you sigh, pulling away to lean back against Clone Cater's chest. Part of you wants to wrap a hand around your weeping cock, but you know that you're already so worked up, that doing so would cause everything to end far too quickly.

"You feel so good," Clone Cater moans, holding onto your hips tightly.

They're trying to behave for you, mostly keeping their hips still, letting you adjust. It takes a good minute, as the stretch is almost unbearably uncomfortable at first. Slowly, you relax, the pain and discomfort eases away, and arousal sinks deep into your loins. Shakily, you raise your hips, then sink back down onto their lengths. Both moan at the feeling.

"Move," you finally command, and they don't need to be told twice. Original Cater is the first to move, and he jerks his hips quickly into you. He can't help it, being on the edge for so long. He's never been good at cockwarming.

You toss your head back as Clone Cater begins to move his hips, joining his original. As soon as Cater pulls back, his clone pushes forward, never leaving you empty. You feel so full, their cocks rubbing against every nerve inside of you. It's better than you could have ever imagined.

"Ahh, gonna cum, hah, wanna cum, oh can I?" Cater asks you, fucking you like an animal in heat, and giving you the puppy eyes to match.

You reach out, taking his hair into your hands, and tugging him close to you.

"Already?" Clone Cater teases, cutting off your attempt to grant permission. Cater whines, hiding his blushing face in your chest. He's pressed so close to you now; your cock rubs against his stomach.

"I think you should- ah- wait until sir has cum," Clone Cater suggests, angling his hips to press even further within you. You gasp, clinging to Cater as his clone fucks you hard and deep. Luck is on Cater's side if he has to wait for you, for you can feel your own orgasm quickly approaching.

"Can't," is all Cater whines pitifully. Looking at his clone with watery eyes.

"Wait," Clone Cater insists, "ah, cum when I do," he cups Cater's face with a hand, then leans in to kiss him. That's what pulls you over the edge. Your vision whites, and you clench like a vice around their dicks, letting your weight fall back against Clone Cater. You barely register it in the moment, but Cater ignores his orders and follows seconds after you, cumming inside as he gasps your name against his clone's lips.

Clone Cater, for all his talk about waiting, cums soon after Cater. He's whiny and clingy as he fucks you through his orgasm.

Overstimulation hits you hard and fast. Suddenly the stretch is too much, and you let out a pained whine. As Cater helps you off his lap and onto the bed, all you can think about is how exhausted, sore, sticky, and euphoric you feel to be loved by him.

#everyone say yaaayyy! i killed my writers block!! #if i seem like i havent written in months its cause i havent. be nice to me >:( #at the very least i hope this isnt confusing? i tried to stay away from too many pronouns... #anyways. cater answers the moral quandary: would you fuck ur clone? #sub twst #spice #kinktober/2023
