30 Day Fanfiction Meme, day 18!

18 – Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka “bunnies”) from?

Random thoughts that come to me as I think about canon, usually that start with "What if...?" Quite often I'll be half-asleep or jogging, and BAM! Bunny attack.

I do deliberately set out to snare a bunny on occasion, like with my two Yuletide fics and the fic I wrote for my first and thus far only contest: FFaaFR. (Which I won, BTW.) :D

But mostly it just happens. Maybe they're sparked by a specific moment in canon that starts me thinking (IAaAYK, 1S2W). Or perhaps I want more of two characters interacting (PaM, Snatch), or I see a hole in canon and want to fix it (Lion King, Transformers). Or could be I'm fascinated with a character and want to explore them through writing (AtEoCT, DaaGB, MM, NaNaM, Skip/Summer Wars). ^^

I think we have a winner! C:
