Thirty-day fan fic meme: Day 18  
18 – Where do you get the most inspiration for your stories (aka "bunnies") from?

Mostly, from my own imagination thinking about what would happen next. Now and then I am inspired by a sort of reverse-challenge... where my conscious mind decides something is impossible or hard or not worthwhile or whatever, and my muses disagree, and I end up writing the thing I didn't think I could write, or didn't want to, or thought would come out cracky or wrong.

Although I like to write for challenges and the gift exchange, I'm not one of those writers who "needs" that to write or to get inspired. I have more stories in my head than  come close to having time to write. It makes me sad.

19 – When you have bunnies ideas, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?

20 – Do you ever get bunnied inspired from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?

21 – Sequels – Have you ever written a sequel to a story you wrote, and if so, why, and if not, how do you feel about sequels?

22 – Have you ever participated in a fest or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favorite experience in relation to one. If not, are there any you've thought about doing? And if not, why not?

23 – When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?

24 – Betaing – How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your story? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?

25 – Music – Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your story? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?

26 – What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a story?

27 – Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?

28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your story?

29 – What is your current project or projects?

30 – Do you have a favorite story you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!
