I got a fanfic idea by the word f**k.

[LadyoftheDeadlyDance]

It actually had nothing to do with...[i]that[/i] ...

...it inspired a part where my OC narrowly escapes death-by-giant-crap-colored-marble.

How? I don't know.

I usually just think stuff up. Usually someone getting their heads blown off by a rogue assassin or a kick ass chase scene. I don't pick up much inspiration otherwise. I usually think up stuff on my own free time, but I don't have much, or any for that matter. So I usually think up stuff while i'm in the bathroom taking a dump or leak. So yeah. The bathroom is my inspiration.

Don't know...

For the longest time I've wanted to make a character that was near the same as my U.S. History teacher. He is very strange... Has to eat a ham sandwich, cut diagonally down the middle, and 15 chips (no more or no less), everyday for lunch. He also has to sit in the same place too. Another teacher at the school was telling me about him and I thought he would make an interesting character- very quirky.

As for other inspirations, my last short story came from the idea to try and imitate William Faulkner's style. Sometimes reading another novel that has a strange way of writing makes me want to try it. I like trying to write in different ways- it's so much fun. ^_^ Get outta the box, ya know?

that sounds like it would be an awesome place ^-^

The weirdest time I've gotten an inspiration for a story/poem/drawing/ect... well once I was asleep on my parent's recliner and all of a sudden I woke up out of nowhere and I went to my computer and wrote a movie, then I went back to bed. It was pretty wierd because I don't even remember what the movie was about or anything since it got deleted because I was still asleep while writing it and I turned off the computer without saving...

o.o crap-colored marble...ok..

[Silvermoonlight]

I got inspired by my dreams on more the one occation, which is sorta scary. The latest story I've writen which is up on ff.net was brought about by dreaming one of the scenes and thinking that's a good idea, the rest is history.

i got an idea for a fic when there was a school presentation on Teenage Abuse...

If tell you what my one of my inspiration's was...well...you guys would think I'm crazy...I know you will...oh well I'll tell...I get my inspiration from dreams...and well one time I had a dream about a frog...Yes a frog...but I woke up and I started to draw a character...The frog had purple spots...and he sat on a lillypad which was yellow...and the water was blue...Oh God, now I know you think I'm crazy :wacko: Which is true....but you guys don't need to know I'm crazy... ^_^
