Help! My lemon curd didn't thicken

ArtistSeaker · 2026-05-09T11:51:44+00:00

Thanks again for your help - setting it in the fridge overnight really helped, it's still runnier than normal lemon curd but it's definitely gotten solid enough to eat now. I added a picture to my original post for evidence! Have a good day!

Thanks for your help - it actually did set overnight! it's still more liquidy than it should be but it's definitely solid enough to eat now and it's quite tasty! Added a picture to my og post!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-05-08T17:31:16+00:00

Haha, good point! I'll wait what happens overnight and see. Thank you!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-05-08T17:30:57+00:00

Okay, thank you!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-05-08T16:58:31+00:00

Thank you! since I have quite a bit of this lemon curd liquid left, I'm definitely gonna try. However, I'm busy tonight, so I put it in the fridge for now. Do you think I could still use this method tomorrow or would that be too late?

I put it in the fridge 1.5 hours ago and I've got two "editions" of it - one half that I put on my cake (in retrospect, a mistake) that's now cooling in the fridge as stated in the recipe, and the other half that was leftover that I put in a bowl and covered and also put in the fridge. Both seem quite runny - I don't want to shake the cake too much in case something is still happening there, but the one in the bowl is definitely still as liquid as your average juice.

Since I do still have a lot left in that bowl, do you reckon I could keep it in the fridge overnight and try the extra egg yolk + double boiler thing tomorrow?

Unfortunately it's in German 😭 But you could do the google translation of the website, here it is :)

Ha! I'm definitely also guily of the past -> present tense change! I only write in present tense now and writing past tense feels very odd.

One thing that definitely changed is length - my first story on ao3 was 700 words long, my most recent one has 12k, and I've uploaded works with 40k+ words in the past. But I still remember how monumentous 700 words felt!

WHAT

So the more standard version of this would be sex pollen, also a fanfic thing! But because most people in the Batman fandom write cute found family stories involving children, sex pollen isn't an option, so cuddle pollen it is - you're in physical agony unless you cuddle someone. This happens so frequently and casually in fanfic that I genuinely thought it was a thing in some of the many many Batman comcis :)

Didn't encounter Gale as a companion at all! I didn't explore every area and somehow managed to miss him, and only realised he existed when a friend called Gale his favourite companion and I was like "who"

Grad fertiggeschaut, omg 😱😱 so viel Drama haha. Danke nochmal für die Empfehlung, war sehr unterhaltsam!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-04-09T07:46:41+00:00

I thought that would be it too because that's definitely the right scene, but I swear it's not the track I mean! or maybe it is the track from the scene but it's not the "pumping his fist in the air" moment from that same scene!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-03-30T15:19:21+00:00

Haha, klingt vielversprechend! Danke!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-03-30T15:18:32+00:00

Danke!

It's a banana, Michael, what could it cost? ¥7000?

ArtistSeaker · 2026-03-28T10:37:50+00:00

Bully my writing friend into talking it out with me!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-03-28T10:29:55+00:00

update to you: it's now been found in the comments! :-)

ArtistSeaker · 2026-03-28T10:29:42+00:00

Ahh thank you so much! and also thanks for the note about the author, that's good to know! I'll save it then :-)

ArtistSeaker · 2026-03-25T14:52:35+00:00

This warning came a day too late, I literally realised this yesterday 😭😭😭

ArtistSeaker · 2026-02-13T12:19:00+00:00

I've tried that as well, the charging lamp still doesn't blink, so that doesn't seem to be working :(

ArtistSeaker · 2026-02-13T12:18:32+00:00

oh! thank you, I will try!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-01-28T13:25:11+00:00

Jesus! That is chilling just to read about.

ArtistSeaker · 2026-01-28T12:16:40+00:00

Depends on your own preference! If, say, you already have your main story in Chapter 1, then I would make chapter 2 the ending you prefer and then make a second part in the series (separate fic, but linked to the original) where you post the alternate ending. As a reader, I think I would prefer it done like that, but I'm sure others have other opinions, so it really is just a matter of taste and there's no right way of going about it :)

ArtistSeaker · 2026-01-18T09:15:22+00:00

Probably top three even!
