Updates weekend!

I'm not sure when this happened, but at some point recently, I crossed over 1 MILLION hits on my stories!! What a milestone! Though, to be transparent ... 468,000+ of those are for my most read story, Breed.*

Also, despite not posting for months, my number of user subscriptions on Ao3 keeps rising. Maybe they're mostly bots, but I hope not :) I really appreciate that people want to read what I write!

NaNoWriMo always takes a lot out of me and this year was no exception, especially since I had to go hard in the final days to get 50K words. But this year was also unique because I wrote my first original story! Wait, not wrote – that would imply I actually finished it. No, it is a Work In Progress like a lot of other things, and speaking of ...

I've been pushing myself to update my incomplete stories and dubbed this "updates week" for myself. This weekend I am planning to update three stories:

The Curse of 100 - finally finished the next chapter after having it half done for a few months ...

The Idol & The Football Star - I've decided to end with a third chapter because I am not as inspired on this as I want to be. It still feels weird writing about real people, especially with new information constantly coming out about them that changes the story. I have an idea to do a paranormal AU with a witch Taylor and werewolf Travis but not sure when I'll have time to write it ...

and, the most triumphant update:

New Year's Eve Wedding Week - which hasn't been updated in TWO years! Because I only want to write it at this time of year, ya know? Well, and also I dove headfirst into writing Dramione over Biospecialist ... but I always intended to finish this and it will be - hopefully very soon!

Good things are coming in 2024!

*Someone told me that I will lose my linked GIFs because Discord is not going to host images anymore. I've been waiting for this to happen before I figure out my next move. If anyone has any ideas of where to host sexy GIFs, let me know!

I needed this today :)

gentle reminder to you — yes, you — that your writing is better than you think it is and it’s okay to feel proud of it

Sometimes I get too in my head with my writing. Especially about my smut. I reread every last word with the most critical of eyes and think, Ooh is that cringe? Will that be too graphic? Will this word or phrase take people out of the scene?

And then I read a book. A published, hardcover, NYT bestsellers list book and...

Did you get that?

Someone looked at this sentence (likely more than one someone, tbh) and was like, 'Yeah. We'll print that.'

So the moral of the story, my fellow heathen smut writers, is that we're fine.

As a matter of fact, we're actually fucking amazing.

Hey look!

Author Profile: RoseDeVents

Fics can be found: ao3 | @rosedevents

Popular Fics:

Title: Breed Author: RoseDeVents Rating: E Genre(s): Romance Chapters: 4 Word Count: 17,875 Summary: The first time Hermione and Draco have sex, they discover a kink that they share: apparently Draco has a fascination with impregnating Hermione, and she’s just as turned on by the thought of letting him. Luckily, Malfoy Manor has plenty of room for heirs.

Title: I fucking hate you, but I love fucking you Author: RoseDeVents Rating: E Genre(s): Romance Chapters: 9 Word Count: 35,015 Summary: My take on the A/B/O trope, this story explores what happens when being mated doesn’t make you automatically fall in love. Hermione is the first presented omega in hundreds of years and Draco claims her under dubious circumstances. Faced with no other choice but to tolerate him as her alpha, she must accept that she is stuck with him – for better or for worse.

Title: The Enchanted Smutbook Author: RoseDeVents Rating: E Genre(s): Romance Chapters: 21 Word Count: 71,295 Summary: Hermione finds an old notebook in the Room of Requirement with handwritten stories she wouldn’t even find in the restricted section of the Hogwarts library. When she works up the courage to add her own sexual fantasies to it, she learns it is enchanted to make her dream whatever she writes. Her nights are about to get a lot more interesting. This is ultimately a Dramione story with some fun along the way.

I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

Timing is everything

Isn’t it ironic ... that in the process of writing the ending to Severance, I was offered a severance package by my company? This past month or so has been wild, and unfortunately hasn’t been very conducive to writing. If you’re wondering when the next chapter is coming, I don’t know yet. I’m on my third rewrite of Chapter 11 lololololol but maybe third time’s the charm? I hope to have it done soon though, especially since I ...

... totally dropped the ball on The Curse of 100. I had the best of intentions in January when I said regular updates were coming! What a cliche I’ve become. I have a list of excuses – being intimidated by the glory hole chapter even though I’m also excited to write it; wanting to finish Severance so I can put all my focus on 100; and then getting wrapped up in my Call Me Daddy fest fic again – but then I remind myself that I’m supposed to be enjoying this. It’s not a job or a chore, so that means I can take my time.

In my opinion, it will be worth the wait :)

Down the plot hole

I found out a few weeks ago that the HP Call Me Daddy Fest was happening again, and with the success I’ve had from Breed I felt as if my honor was being questioned if I didn’t participate.

I thought I had a pretty great approach for coming up with what I thought would be a quick one-shot. I looked through my doc of story ideas and picked out ones that would fit the fest parameters. Then I did sprints on each topic and the one that flowed the easiest, I decided to write.

14,000 WORDS AND THREE WEEKS LATER: I finally finished it! I am a week late, but the organizers said they would still let me in ... even though I only asked for one extra day and that turned into seven ... whoops ...

This is my explanation for why I haven’t finished Severance and why I already stopped updating regularly on The Curse of 100. I don’t know if this expression makes any sense, but I got lost down a plot hole. I couldn’t get anything done until I finished the fest fic, but I think fans of my other stories are going to find it is right up their alley!

I will be back to regularly scheduled programming very soon :)

I gave myself a challenge over the holidays to blackout my bingo card for the Harry Potter Fanfiction Club server and write a series of stories. It was a labor of love, but somewhat slapped together to get it all in by Christmas. I would really appreciate it if more people would read the full series but most readers - unsurprisingly - are getting drawn to the explicit “Mistletoe” story that is Pansy/Ron, NottPott and Dramione. I haven’t written for two of the three ships before and I must say it was delightful.

Happy happy!

Ao3 Anniversary

Like probably many other people, I creeped on Ao3 long before I actually made an account. And I didn’t make an account until I wanted to start posting.

I thought I missed my chance to post about my Archive of Our Own anniversary, which was Nov. 2, but then I checked the first story I posted and its published date - Dec. 4. I think that is a more accurate representation of what I wanted to post anyway: since joining Ao3 two years ago, I’ve posted more than 600,000 words on the site.

Six.

Hundred.

Thousand.

Like ... what?? That’s insane! And sometimes I think that number should really be higher, but I’m not about to go total up all the things I haven’t published yet.

Some other astounding stats:

Nearly 9,000 kudos

Almost 1,000 comment threads

More than 500,000 hits

I think it’s going well. And I think I’ll keep at it.

On a bender

I’ve been super inspired to write lately! Does that mean I’ve finished my WIPs? No, of course not! I’ve started posting a totally new story :)

As I said in my last post, there are far more stories in my drafts folder than what you can read on Ao3. I realized that I never finished the gift fic for my amazing alpha/beta on Slytherin Toy, @f1dget-scribbles. So I dropped everything, and started finishing – and posting – my Dramione A/B/O trope: I fucking hate you, but I love fucking you.

The main idea behind it was to do something different with A/B/O, and I landed on trying to write an alpha-omega love story where they don’t fall in love. I just thought it would be interesting to not have alpha Draco be a secretly good guy deep down, and to not have omega Hermione instantly fall for him. We love those stories for typically following the same formula, but I didn’t want to rehash someone else’s story.

I am still working on the ending - and decided to do two different ones. One will be a happy ending, and the other will be dark. I really did enjoy writing both!

What feels great about posting that story is that it is mostly done. For much of the past year, I have been going chapter by chapter on a lot of stories and that gets sort of stressful. I’m still working through The Curse of 100, and it’s hard to be under the gun on every chapter. It makes me not want to write it sometimes.

And the poor readers of my Biospecialist fic that I never finished! It got to the point where I just figured I would work on New Year’s Eve Wedding Week when we get closer to a new year. I just haven’t been inspired to write for Agents of SHIELD in a long time, sadly.

But I so appreciate every click and every comment! I have so many exciting things I am working on and can’t wait to keep sharing. Thanks for reading!

Story ADHD

As of late, the days I am inspired to write have been few and far between. I can blame it on work being really intense right now, but there's also a little bit of story ADHD happening.

I finished The Enchanted Smutbook and then The Slytherin Toy's Christmas Wish and also a surprise chapter of Breed. So I thought ... great, now I can devote all of my time to finishing my WIPs – The Curse of 100 and New Year's Eve Wedding Week.

It's just ... the thing is ... those aren't truly my only WIPs. I have plenty of other stories I will get randomly inspired to write, but that I haven't started posting:

A/B/O - this is my gift fic for @f1dget-scribbles :) The idea behind it is an A/B/O Dramione where they don't magically like each other just because they're mated. And also filling it with Fidget's favorite things.

Severance - have you seen the show on Apple TV? This will be my take on that with Hermione and Draco as co-workers who have separate memories of work and home. This was my Camp NaNo project in July but I am only about halfway finished.

Soulmate Spell - a coven casts a spell to reveal soulmate marks ... and guess whose names end up on Hermione and Draco's arms??

Memory Loss fic - Draco captures Hermione during the war and she erases her own memory. Five years later, they are living together as a couple in France ... and Harry finds them!

Triad fic - Development of Theo/Draco/Hermione during eighth year with flashbacks to a Harry/Ron/Hermione romantic triad while they're on the run

Slave fic - Bellatrix used a spell on Hermione to make her a slave to the house of Black. When Draco figures this out during eighth year, things get a little dark.

Commissioned fics - Now, this isn't a thing that I usually do, but ArizonaiceT666 reached out and asked me to write a multi-chapter story and I said I would, but we'll see when I actually get to it. We also talked about me writing a story based on "Hermione's Normal Day" and that flowed really easily - I am about halfway done with that two-chapter story, and it is juicy and dark.

Oh, right and the Slytherin Toy sequel - I've got bits and pieces on this one but will have to seriously sit down and write this soon or it will probably never get done ...

It's funny now that I've listed them out - most of them are my takes on different tropes. (That list doesn't include the dozen other Word docs that never went anywhere ...)

You see, I am trying to learn from my mistakes and actually finish my stories before I start posting. And this is why it is a slog for me to post on 100 and NYE (which, at this point, probably won't be updated until it's actually NYE again - whoops).

I have so many stories in my head and they don't always want to come out on schedule. It's like story ADHD, bouncing around from story to story and not getting anywhere on any of them. NaNoWriMo is coming up and hopefully I will be able to focus on something in November - the question is, though ... what story will I focus on next? And ... can I even focus?

200K

I’ve been refreshing my stats on Ao3 for about two weeks, trying to make sure I catch my story Breed getting to 200,000 hits.

(Like ... what?!? That’s insane!)

There have been certain milestones of hits where I thought I was going to add another chapter to the story and fix the broken GIFs. That sounded like a lot of work, though ...

So little by little, over a few months, I figured out how to fix the links and host the GIFs I wanted – on a private Discord server – and worked on the next chapter. I actually just finished writing it.

Now it’s back to refreshing ... waiting to hit 200K and surprise everyone with the update. I’m thinking it will be tonight.

I also intended to do some Photoshop work on this picture of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin for the update. I saw it a while ago, when they announced they were having a 7th child, and it totally reminded me of Breed. You’ll have to imagine Draco and Hermione’s faces with their brood of blonde children because I kind of suck at Photoshop ...

“You look beautiful,” Draco says, before adding in a whisper, “ravishing.” “Will you?” Hermione asks teasingly. “Ravish me?”

The Slytherin Toy’s Christmas Wish, upcoming Chapter 20

Well I didn’t even realize I hadn’t updated on here in a while because I have been busy writing – but apparently not posting anything onto Ao3! I finished The Slytherin Toy’s Christmas Wish a couple of weeks ago and have been slowly releasing the final chapters. It feels good to finally have it out of my brain ... but ... there’s the sequel I want to write, too ...

So you’d think I would be spending lots of time on my other Dramione WIP The Curse of 100 or finally finishing up my Biospecialist fic New Year’s Eve Wedding Week ... Apologies to those patient readers, because I am knee deep in a brand new story that I am focusing on for Camp NaNo this month. I also took a little detour this week to work on a gift fic for my alpha/beta on Toy who has been sick.

The inspiration strikes when it strikes, but I’m hoping to post more soon!
