A piece of advice, perhaps for your NC-17 fic, or any fic, is to figure out what you're going to do with it BEFORE you write it. I found that once I do that, everything comes a lot easier, and sometimes better ideas flow out from what I had in the first place. So yeah, perhaps you might want to plan future pieces before you write them to avoid half-baked fics that kind of sit there, begging to be finished. :D

whoa... someone actually read my journal entry? (lol...) I actually have the NC-17 scene in my head better thought-out than my next fluff piece, but I don't know if I have the writing prowess to write an NC-17 story. The easiest one for me to write was "Hint of Lavender" because I knew everything I wanted; next was "Cedric's Life" since that was in steps/flashes; and "Ray of Light" was the harder of the three because I wanted to say so much on the "what if" this happened, how would he feel (since he doesn't know he would have died).

God, I am so so so sorry. I'M ALMOST DONE. I've just been a tad bit busy lately, but don't worry. I'll email you soon. Once again, sorry! ^___^

no problem :) take your time. I was just worried you hated the whole thing and I'd have to major re-write. ;)
