Climbing Shakily Back Into The Saddle

[teddy_radiator]

I had every intention of writing for kinkfest - it's a favourite of mine, but when AR died, it really took a lot out of me, and I wrote the lovely mods to say I was dropping out. The thing was that I had this story rattling around in my head based on a deliciously wicked render lemonade8 made for me. I haven't shown it off yet because it is the inspiration of this story. Naturally, stgulik and I have been lobbing ideas back and forth on it, and while it started out as a generally kinky thing, I began to see it as a larger story.

Bloody thing's only gone and become a murder mystery. Oh, it's still got the kink (a TeddyRadidator fic with no smut? Perish the thought), but overlaying all this dirty deeds done dirt cheap is an actual story. I don't know if I can honestly do anything like that.

Well, it's started anyway. Around 3K in. I think we're just getting started, but it does feel good to write something substantial again. But I've never written a murder mystery before. Could be interesting.

Ooooh, that sounds very exciting indeed! I'm glad you are back in action, m'dear. :)

Welcome back!

Welcome back 😘 You can do it!

Oh that should be so interesting! I can't wait to see it! Mystery is one thing I've only vaguely tried - one of my two Severus/Luna fics was a nod at a mystery, but I don't think I have the foreshadowing skills to actually do a good one.

I like Snunas! May I have the link to your mystery?

It's not the best mystery in the world but sure! A Pressing Conspiracy.

And if you can guess the inspiration for it, you get virtual cookies!

DMuse and Teddy are collaborating again! Your story idea is full of amazing potential, as I said, and I'm so excited to see what develops.

One word: yay!

I am happy you are writing again! :) Good luck! Can't wait to read it!

Murder and intrigue, gotta love it.

Oh, was it "O"?

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

It is 'O' indeed! And I'm spending all my waking moments working on it. It's taking on a life of its own - just the way I love a story to do.

Cool! Runaway train plot bunnies ahoy!

Thank you so much for that vote of confidence. I have written some drabbles here and there, but I'm just embarking on this mystery and it's pretty extensive - I am going to be awhile on it, but I'm feeling more excited about it than anything I've written in a long time.
