Meme: 30 Days of Fanfic

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

'Bunny' as a verb? I don't think I'm prepared to cope with that.

Of course I get inspired by other people's works. I've been negatively inspired by seeing people write a character or scenario a certain way and becoming so pissed that I wanted to see if I could do it better. (Turns out, I couldn't). I've been positively inspired by seeing art that I felt needed the rest of the story. I've been inspired by ideas that are dropped into stories and then never developed, perhaps because the author wasn't even aware of them. That's one of the great things about fanfic: where it can be an active conversation in how we see the characters and concepts of the show. When that conversation doesn't exist, I don't see much purpose to being in the fandom.

Yuletide: Nominations

Nominations are in the process of being approved right now.

I did manage to get mine all in on time, though I'm already having second thoughts about one of my choices because I've committed myself to re-reading a trilogy over the next month if I want to have any hope of being able to follow through on the fandom.

I've never nominated a book fandom before. Naturally, this meant that I decided to nominate two book fandoms. I really don't know what was going through my head, except way too much amusement at the possibility of seeing fanfic about myself. Yes, I am feeling a bit conceited right now. Why did you ask?

My nominations were for:

The Tomorrow People (2013) (Surprised? Ha!)

Luca Jameson

Sophie Coburn

Monty the Magnificent

Kurt Rundel

ETA: All nominations accepted. But, dammit! I forgot to nominate Wolfblood. How could I have forgotten Wolfblood?
