writethisfanficDay 9... we're almost in double digits! Tell us how it's going today:
And for discussion: return of the flamingo!
[Background — a six piece pie style colour split in three shades of pink. Foreground — the long neck and face of a pink flamingo.
Top text: Ask for ideas
Bottom text: Get nothing but requests for same pairing.]
Let's talk about ideas! Are you a writer that has a thousand more ideas than you'll ever write? Or do you struggle to come up with inspiration for fic? (Possibly you go through both phases!) Where do your ideas come from: your head, conversations w/other people in your fandom, prompts from a comment fic meme or a challenge, somewhere else? A combination of all of them? Are you ever itching to write but stumped for what to write about? Have you been successful in using other people's suggestions at those times (or, like the flamingo, perhaps you just get the same suggestions over & over, maybe something you don't want to write)? How do you keep track of your ideas before you have the time to actually write them? & how do you prioritize which one to pursue first?
