My fic

I can't get past one chapter of my fic. I can write others, but for some reason, this one does not want to close.

It doesn't help that I don't think it's even good. It's PoA in the POV's of Tonks and Remus's sister Artemis, a sequel to a post-first Voldemort war fic I did with the mentioned characters.

Except Mythological Friendship wasn't written around a canon book, so it was 100 times easier. And there were so many different plots. This one's plot is Sirius, and yet, I can't even seem to work with that without making them angsty, so I tried to add in some comic and some romantic relief, and almost feel like those aren't making it flow as well.

In other words, Prisoners of Deceit has a severe case of sequelitis.

Ouch. Writing can suck. Poor you.

I meant the writing process can be a pain in the butt, aggravating and annoying... wasn't commenting on the idea. The finished product when done can be worth all the pain in the world but the process can just be eah.

Ahhh, I misunderstood the reason for the quote. And you're right... and with this... there w asn't really any reason for a sequel other than having Tonks and Artemis find out Sirius was innocent. That could've easily been a one shot.
