Fic weeks

I don’t have much time at the minute to participate in all the fic events that are taking place (too many chapters to write and my novel to rewrite so I can *actually* publish it…). But I thought I’d do a shameless plug of some of my stories that fit into the themes so here you go (all links are AO3, if you’d  like to read on FF.NET you can do so here).

Under the Crimson Flag

Desperately running away from her past, Emma disguises herself as a boy and seeks an escape in the freedom of the open seas. All is well until she crosses paths with the infamous Captain Hook.

Captain Duckling AU

There is a little bit of smut but it is forewarned and can be skipped if needed!

Also there is a sequel, which is unfinished but will be asap… Beyond the Spiring Towers

Dirty, Pretty Thing

Emma Swan wants to escape her life, move East, start new. Working at The Velvet Rope is her ticket out of here. But then he comes along, mysterious, sexy, dangerous. Surely she can resist his charms

Stripper!Emma AU.

Lots of smut…

Ship to Shore

This cruise was meant to mend their relationship - not tear it apart! Emma Swan is left alone on a ten day cruise after an ill-timed break-up. Is there any way she can salvage this vacation? And just what is it about that first officer, Killian Jones…

Modern AU.

Yes, there is some smut…

With This Ring

This was just about the dumbest idea she had ever heard. Marry a guy she barely knew??

But sometimes desperate people do crazy things. And crazy things can sometimes be the best things you ever do…

Fake Marriage AU

The Hero

A princess. A lieutenant. A storm. A hero. Will honour or love rule the day?

Lieutenant Duckling fic slightly inspired by While You Were Sleeping

So that’s just a little sprinkling, I have more on AO3 and FF.NET!

My two year (and two month) writing anniversary: AKA A journey of how I actually started to believe I could be a writer

So almost 26 months ago I wrote my first ever piece of fiction since I was a school kid. It was New Girl fanfic. It was smut. And it was bad.

I’d always wanted to write, but never knew how to start. I just assumed I was one of the millions of people who say they want to write a novel but never do because they just don’t have what it takes. 

Then I fell in love with a little couple called Nick and Jess. I was having a hard time personally (still am, ha!) and the fandom helped me escape from my worries for a bit. And then from that I found fanfic. My previous encounter had started and ended with 50 shades of grey. Hmm. So, needless to say I was like ‘no, I’m not gonna read THAT’. Well, that lasted maybe a couple of months before curiosity got the better of me and I started reading… and all my preconceptions were blown out of the water. Overwhelmingly it was smart, clever, funny and made me love my OTP even more.

I read a bit. I saw things I liked . Things I didn’t. People who inspired me. Fics that I read and thought - ooh, if only they did this, or wrote it like that… One thing led to another and one season finale later I just HAD to write something myself. And that was how it began.
