This is to all authors. What is your inspiration in your stories?

I wouldn't call myself on author, but for my story. It was my own experience, that I added to. It was minor inspiration.

My inspiration was my old Master. And just my ideal M/s relationship I guess.

Anything can inspire you. My most recent piece I rewrote for an assignment came to life because of a song. Another idea came from a random object task. Some ideas come from a single word, a picture.

Mostly? My mind wanders a lot. My original character is real to me. She pokes me in class and tells me to write. So I do.

While I don't post on this site, I usually end up compiling a list of music and some pictures and then I only listen to that playlist when I write the story.

But that's just me!

Like a story soundtrack?

I don't do that per se, but I have character soundtracks.

Sort of. It puts me in the moods of the stories and the character. I am very "sound oriented".

My inspiration is usually my own fantasies. Not my exact fantasies but they are remotely close to the real ones.

The inspiration for my story has been a fantasy of mine. It has been developing since I'm about 16. In my fantasy, I'm Sam.

Anything really. Inspiration comes or it doesn't. You can't really force it, in my case - although it's usually not even an issue, as the slightest twinge can stimulate it.
