do u know of any long, completed fleurmione fics?

I do, indeed! On Teenagers And Love by anamatics (a fourth year onwards fic), One Step at a Time by hphglover (post-war), Destination: Love by xyouaremylobsterx (muggle au and told in second person) and Past, Present and Unforeseen by Jackdawess (Shell Cottage onwards au) are all ones I would recommend. Plus, they are all at least 80,000 words, since you wanted a long fic!

Unfinished Stories

To all of you wondering if I have abandoned my stories, the answer is no.

However, I haven't felt like writing or reading fanfiction for a while now and I honestly don't know when I'll update again.  As it is, I don't think I'll be writing anymore fanfic when these two stories are done.  I just don't have it in me anymore.  I'm not an avid TV watcher and I don't really follow any series so I don't have any pairings that inspire me anymore.  Glee was over for me at the end of the third season when Quinn basically disappeared and it just wasn't the same anymore.  I stopped watching then and even though I still come up with ideas for her and Santana, I just don't have the desire to write them out anymore.  Same goes for Harry Potter. 

This is the worst writer's block I've ever experienced and I don't know what to do to get out of this writing funk.  I have replaced fanfiction with lesbian romance novels and I love them so much I can't seem to stop reading them so that is where all of my free time goes.  It’s my escape from reality, if you will.

So I apologize if this is disappointing to some of you.  I know I have some great followers that truly seem to enjoy my work, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: writing is not something I can force, it has to come naturally to me.

I know it’s taken a while, but here’s chapter 5.

As to why it’s taken a while, well, I’ve been staying away from fanfiction for a little while.  Both reading and writing.  I’ve been reading a lot of lesbian romance fiction and finding wonderful new authors. 

You guys should check out all of the books by Melissa Brayden.  She is amazing! I just can’t get enough of her writing.  I’ve read the first two books of her Soho Loft trilogy twice and can’t wait for the last one coming out next month. She is definitely my favorite author right now.

My dream is to someday publish my own original work, so I’ve been reading a lot to see if my stuff has the caliber to be accepted at a publishing house that caters to the LGBT community. 

I think my days writing fanfiction might be coming to an end since I’ve sort of lost the inspiration for it, especially now that the HP movies are done and Glee is finally over.  We’ll see how it goes.  I will finish all of my stories, though, so no worries there.

To those of you always encouraging me, the ones that send me pm’s, and those that always review, know that I sincerely appreciate you words and they make my day!  Thank you so much for the support!

Chapter 4 is up!  I hope you enjoy this one since it’s a little lighter and might bring about some hope for our favorite couple.

Let me know what you think!

Chapter 3 is up, guys!

Sorry for the wait, but I’ve been moving since last week and lets just say it was a bit of a nightmare.  Worse move ever, but things are finally settling down.

Hope you enjoy!

Story feedback

I just wanted to say thank you for the reviews so far.  I love reading what you have to say and I hear you.  I understand why some of you are upset with Santana’s behavior.  She’s not being totally fair right now, that’s a given.

I really love the support and how invested some of you are in the story.  As I read your reviews more ideas pop into my head and I’ve already gone back to several chapters to change or add things.  Your comments, ideas and reactions feed my mind and my muse reacts accordingly.  So thank you so much for that.  I really never expected how invested some of you are and I hope I don’t disappoint you too much as the story moves along.

You’re all pretty damn great and I appreciate all of you so, so much!
