I'm sure you've heard this before, and it didn't work for me, anyway. But have you tried a different fandom? Perhaps your muse wants a change? Or possibly, there's ways you'd like to alter the canon and characters? Done enough, you have original fiction.
Something that did work for me when I was only suffering a mild block, was changing pov. Such as, perhaps from a couple of generations later?
One thing that almost worked for me, was doing an AU. At least I had fun writing the setting.
Well, considering the fact I do have a Tokyo Majin fic on indefinite hiatus, I probably should try writing for another fandom. But somehow I just can't seem to get back into my previous fandoms, which is sad. Granted, I haven't made the effort to re-kindle the fangirl fire, so I probably should re-watch the anime I love. Otherwise, I've been trying to do originals, too, but I'm just stumped. My creativity and motivation just fled completely, damn muses.
You know, I've never tried an AU, despite the fact I have two ideas, for Gundam X and Young Justice. I think I get intimated because it is like a total world-building endeavor to re-write canon history and create a setting. Plus, I get bummed when no one reads my stuff, and it's not like GX and YJ Runaways are popular. (I actually decided to re-work and meld both ideas into an original.)
That P.O.V. idea is interesting, though, by switching generations. That's definitely a change! I should try it. Thanks for the tips!! And always thank you for the support and hugs!! *hugs back*
I haven't. I really wasn't huge into Greek mythology. When I was little I loved all history and myths, but it wasn't my area of special interest. Although it was one of my favorite subjects in school, I think at most I just loved some of the movies, mainly Harry Hamlin's old Clash of the Titans. XD
