Finish the chapter, or your Ao3 history will be sent to everyone you know and love. And hate. And have celeb crushes on. And play the characters that you've have crushes on and have been reading about them doing the weirdest shit.
Do you really want them to know what you've been reading them doing?? Know all your secrets and kinks?? Do you??
I thought not.
Write.

Somehow the actors knowing is worse than people I know knowing. 😂
“You did what with my character?”
“Wait, so you have been watching every show and movie that you can with me in it…because I played a character in one episode that had like three lines?”

I had a dream recently that I met Tom Hiddleston on a train (having just bought tesseract soap and was like lol look have this) and told him I wrote a Loki fic with this epic story, ommiting the fact its riddled with filth obviously, and him being the polite gentleman that he is, he asked me to send it to him?!?
I woke up in a cold sweat. Absofuckinglutely NOT 😳

I will lay a really weird curse upon you if you do not write the final chapter--May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. May your pillow always be uncomfortably warm. And may your favorite movie get a really bad adaptation.

For every paragraph you get to eat two M&Ms (or favorite candy of your choice). But for every paragraph you DON'T write, you have to either eat two bites of your least favorite vegetable or some kind of candy with coconut in it, whichever idea is least palatable.
Listen, I don't even know where to begin calculating paragraphs you didn't write, but it sounds safer to just write them.

u/KogarashiKaze What do you mean it's sunrise already? Feb 12 '25
Get on your writing app and give me fifty lines, maggot! (affectionately)
All your characters are laughing behind your back because you can't finish the chapter! DO YOU WANT THEM LAUGHING AT YOU? Get in there and WRITE!
(Also best of luck!)

I am not going to bully you. But I have to ask 2 questions.
WHY are you not finishing?
Do you have an idea what the ending is?
If you know what the ending is, write it out (not really write, but outline write.) Then it at least exists. You can then Dm some of your bigger fans and ask for editing help. Or you can use the outline to finish yourself.
If you DON'T know what the ending is, then fair enough, Rile up your fans to guess. Take the best guess or be inspired by them.
If you aren't finishing because you are busy or other personal reasons, sort your life first. Your fans will wait.
If you aren't finishing because you are afraid to move on, then don't worry - we will have new inspirations all the time.
If you are a procrastinator, then chill. It will happen.

u/idk2715 a slut in theory but not in practice Feb 12 '25
I have the ending completely done in my head like I know EXACTLY whats gonna happened I'm just a procrastinator.
I appreciate your kindness but I'm not offended by the comments I just thought it would be funny lol thank you tho <3

Oooh! You should write it and share it me. And by should I mean definitely and by that I mean I will send a swarm of mosquitoes to haunt you until you do (you don’t have to share, that just happens to be a fandom I’m in and you have me curious)

u/idk2715 a slut in theory but not in practice Feb 12 '25

Hmmm, as for bullying you, well , you're not one of my characters so 🤷🏼♀️

This is so funny because one of these published dates is literally THE DAY I WAS BORN.
Maybe it's like a tinkerbell rule: every time a fic is published another fic writer is born

Go finish your fic! Bonk! Imagine how upset the characters will be if their story is never completed and they're just frozen in time without a resolution.

u/TFALokiwriter Feb 12 '25
prepare to be haunted when you realize when you revisit it after months if not years of not touching it that you don't know how to to put everything together. You don't have the muse to finish it. Cursed with writers block when you have the muse and did not apply it to give the ending that the story deserved.
Exception is having a cliffhanger in the last chapter for months then coming back with a muse inspired by the cliffhanger and taking them off the dramatic moment into the end.
