I just heard there's a rage club, but I'm too late to be a founding member.

Jolly me out of my current state of rage, please. Rage is not a usual state for me-- not honest-to-goodness grand-gesture-level fury-- and I find it unpleasant. I'm against continuing in this state. Therefore, distraction! On the theory that if there's anything as comforting as self-absorption, it's contemplating the characters I love, I propose

I'm so in awe of how well you write and also how much you write.
That made me wonder, how much do you think the various wip-fics you write affect each other? Also, what do you think is your main source of inspiration when you write?

Did those questions make any sense? I'm highly caffeinated and can't seem to be able to think straight.

I often move the WIPs away from each other, if that makes sense. One story will make the opposite choices of another story, just so I can play the fanfic what-if game more intensely. "What if Giles hates this in story A, and likes it in story B?"

My main source of inspiration: I want things to read. The thrill of looking at something I've made and knowing that I made it. That keeps me going even when the work of writing seems miserably impossible.
