In your own space, talk about your creative process(es) — anything from the initial inspiration to how you feel after something’s done. Do you struggle with motivation or is it a smooth process? Do you have any tricks up your sleeve to pull out when a fanwork isn’t cooperating? What is your level of planning to pantsing/winging it? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Most inspiration come from dreams and sometimes reading a tweet of a certain female celebrity. I'll give an example. "You're still my scar." which gave me inspiration to write not just a one-shot but a two-shot of The Never Healing Scar which can be found here at my other journal the RPF one.
Another inspiration is with same female actress a picture of a photoshoot. On that picture she's looking off to the side, like she's heard a sound coming from the nearby bushes, not because the photographer told her to, which led to the creation of the fic "The Cursed Wolf" which can also be found at that same journal under the tag the cursed wolf.
Some times it's a smooth process and some other times it can be a real struggle. Another example is a story called Forbidden Love: A Vampire Slayer (male) and a Vampire (female) are living right next door to each other, they fall in love against their family's objections. I even had a whole Mirror World plot where the roles are reversed (she's a Vampire Slayer, he's an evil Vampire wreaking havoc in that Mirror World) but for some reason that fanfic Mirror World plot just didn't come to fruition and like many fanfics I abandoned it altogether… until a complete reboot where the same Vampire Slayer is still the same guy, but hasn't seen that female Vampire in years but is summoned by a Werewolf Family to witness the renewal of a Treaty between the Werewolves (Think Teen Wolf but with a daughter named Melissa who is exactly Melissa Benoist and Scott being the Werewolf King/Alpha) and the Vampires (The Originals!) which I also abandoned. It's getting harder and harder for me to actually start a series AND then completely finish it... unlike say the Goddess and Her Follower which is also on the other Journal and started out at the ending and ended at the beginning/birth of the follower.
I don't really know if I have tricks up my sleeve when a fanwork isn't cooperating. If they don't, I think I just drop the idea altogether.
The current one that I'm doing is a Kingdom Hearts fic which came to me a dream like literally last night.
