keladry_lupinToday's gratitudinal thought is another It-Made-My-Day thingy:
I love those light bulb moments when I start thinking about an established character and what little we know about some aspect of hir life from canon and then start extrapolating details from that and create an entire background for a fic based on that little bit we know.
It's exhausting, though.
And frustrating when I'm not in a position to write as much as I'd like right then. I did fill several large post-its with ideas in tiny writing during lunch, though, so I have stuff to go on when I do have time to focus later. Yellow post-its are background and research to tie canon to the universe I'm creating for the fic, orange ones have to do with the story/plot/characterization.
