Stuck
So I've had time to write, I have a story I have started and I want to write but all that is worthless because I cant write. :( I've tried to force it by reading other stories but I dont know maybe that made it worse. It really bothers me because when I sit here with my story in front of me nothing happens...
Any suggestions?

Anyhow... My advice: Try very hard to ignore it for a (few) day(s). Just tell it to get lost. If the story is meant to be, it will get back to you. If not, it gets lost and you store it 'in the fridge' (I got a nice stash of unfinished stories with several plot-bunnies in there!)
If you're stuck because you don't know how to move on, then write the next chapter. You can always bridge the gap later.
Take a day off, listen to music, do something else. Don't try so hard. The harder you try, the less it works, the more frustrated you get, the less it works... etc.
Hope you'll be successful! :) - Í'd love some new material. :)

I don't really write any fanfic now, but I think what I'm doing now may help. See, I've spent the last six hours sitting here trying to complete my K/S wallpaper. The first 3 hours were wasted cuz I didn't like what I was doing and I deleted all the files and started from scratch again. But the picture just couldn't form in my brain. So I popped my DVD in and watched a bit of 'For the Children' (cuz I really love that kiss :P) and I have my breakfast and lots of coffee. I think I kinda have an idea now, so I'll start with what I have in my canvas and go from there.
I guess writing is similar. Maybe you should just take a rest, walk around a little, do some other thing, you never knew, the idea could just suddenly come from nowhere. I always have art idea whenever I was in a shower! :D
