I hope the writing has been going well for all of you. I'm making progress. I heard back from my second beta reader, and I'm editing my chapter. I've also started in on the next chapter.
For discussion-- Have you ever written a story with a picture (painting, photograph, whatever), sculpture, song or other similar thing as the inspiration? This could be either with the inspiration in question as the source canon or with it inspiring a story in another fandom entirely.
I don't think that I have done this. It sounds like something that would be interesting to try, though. I'm more intrigued by the idea of something triggering a story in a different canon than in it being the canon itself. I've seen the latter done in Yuletide (to excellent effect), so I'm less curious about it.

Date: Friday, March 15th, 2013 01:23 (UTC)I wrote a story for an "art challenge" once, where the story was to be based in Tolkien!verse but where a painting/piece of artwork of my choice from the "real world" was the source of inspiration for the story. I really enjoyed doing it, and didn't have much trouble finding a painting that triggered the idea I needed for a Tolkien canon-based story.

Date: Friday, March 15th, 2013 08:07 (UTC)I wrote a fairly dark fic called Dead But Not Asleep after listening to the instrumental piece of the same name on the Bhoot soundtrack.
I've used lyric prompts for challenges too, I quite like thos prompts because I always end up with new music in my collection once I'm finished.
My fic that I'm editing was inspired by a Nietzsche aphorism.
I can't work from or with images. I tried a couple of times but it doesn't work for me.
