Have you ever written a story inspired by a picture (drawing/painting/photograph) or a song or a poem? Either with the picture or song or poem as the source canon or with it sparking something in another canon.

I haven't done this, but I've thought that it could be an interesting challenge.

A something else day for me, I had to get my phone fixed and that took a lot longer than expected. Always tomorrow, unless something pops up in the DVDs I'm about to watch for the rest of the night then I might write something.

I once wrote drabble based on a screencap that I saw of Robbie Ross because I liked the lighting and the way he looked in it but I can't find the image now and the fic is still posted.

Lazy editing day. TV, edits, TV, edits. Good times.

I've written things based on quotes from fiction, but only for comment fics.

I've written a few dozen lyric wheel stories. That used to be a fun challenge in a couple of my fandoms.

I've written a couple of things the last day or two of varying lengths. I have one more one-shot to finish up and then I'm caught up and can devote myself to my WIP goals for the month.

I have done several pieces inspired by pictures. The first one was part of an art challenge where I had to choose a painting and write a story from it. It was very interesting, and not that hard to do once I found a painting that sparked an idea. The others have been done from pictures, sometimes assigned, and sometimes chosen from a group of options. When I can choose the picture, it's a lot easier because I choose one that has already sparked an idea. Writing from an assigned picture takes longer if the idea doesn't come right away, but I usually don't have trouble coming up with something when there's a picture in front of me!

I daydreamed about fanfic during my off moments at work. And I contemplated writing during commute.

One relatively recent fic that I worked on for the WIP challenge had a concept derived somewhat from the song Graceland. It didn't go as well as I'd hoped, but it was a challenge.
