OOC - Fanfic Meme - Day 18
18 – Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?
I wish I could say I have a trigger, something that sets my mind off, but I really don’t. Usually I’m chatting with friends, and a bunny will bite. I’ve taken to calling the really pushy ones Rabid Plot Bunnies or RPB. Had one of those last weekend when we were discussing how to make a RP situation work out. In that scenario Gabriel has a twin, Michael. A couple of months ago,
Gabe’s player said, “Wouldn’t it be cool if Mike was all in Gabe’s head?”
I said, “Hell yes!”
Then last week I started pondering about the real Michael Gray. I was inspired in that scene by Gabe, who is nearly Sylar’s, murder of Isaac. He did it in a bathtub. Suddenly the image of the real Michael Gray in a bathtub full of blood when he was a teenager popped into my head. Gabe’s player and I chatted some more, and before I could do anything else, I had to write a piece for Michael about his suicide, and where he was today.
It was a blast. I love it when RPB’s bite.
If you’d like to read Michael’s story, you can see it here on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
heroesreduxrpg Group #1 Tag. I’m now playing headMichael who still looks like Gabe, and have had a nice RP with Chandra from Mike’s real account. I can’t wait until Gabe and Mike meet in the flesh.
Although this was a roleplay situation, it’s pretty much the same way my writing works whether it’s fanfic or my original writing.
