argentum_ls20 –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.
