I vaguely remember reading/hearing J. Michael Straczynski saying once that Babylon 5 just dropped on his brain all at once, and he had the basic setting and plot worked out in a matter of days.
Well, I suddenly believe him. I just had a nearly complete setting just drop out of the sky on me yesterday-- with a title!-- and I've been scrambling to write it all down. I already have four pages of single-spaced notes on the thing and I feel like I'm just getting started.
This has never happened to me before that I recall, but damn is it cool.
