Where have all my bunnies gone? Long time passing...

[mrv3000]

I've been bunny-less for a while now and I wish bunnies were still hopping through my mind. Just...something. It's not enough to say to myself "I shall write [insert genre of choice] now." I need that one little bunny to go off of like "Sarah Jane rolls her eyes at D/R" or "Gallifreyans have babies in cubes

Perhaps cow cubes? And we all know that Sarah Jane rolls her eyes repeatedly when the Doctor and Rose stop by for tea. Well, he says it's for tea. Rose knows it's because it's the closest he actually wants to be to Jackie and he's hoping that visiting one female is as good as visiting any other.

Cow cubes. Mwah.

And ha! I really wish I knew what life was like in the altverse now. That might be part of my problem - I generally prefer to write in the "present" but that whole altverse thing is one big question mark. Other than RTD saying they're "happy." NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION, O SPARKLY ONE.

It's like that in all creative efforts. My "bunnies" left me for over two weeks. Last night was the first time I was able to start vidding again.

I hope the bunnies stay a while...

[mrv3000]

Glad they came back for you!

And it's with the Winchesters from Supernatural as an 80s detective show. :)

A very bizarre reboot to my hobby...

HA!

I find that often my problem isn't lack of idea/premise so much as... I dunno, lack of a starting line, maybe. I'll think over the same general idea for days/weeks/months and never actually get anything about it written down, and then one day I'll have an entirely unrelated idea and get the whole thing written in three hours. I don't know why some ideas come to fruition so easily and some don't, but it's annoying. I'm very fond of some of the ideas that have been shelved in my head for some months now.

But in terms of actual-ideas-I-can-act-on, I've been distinctly lacking for a couple months as well.

[mrv3000]

:D Sounds like a familiar writing process.

I'm really thinking that part of the problem is the lack of any new canon for a while now. At first it seemed wonderful to have a completely blank slate to write in, but I'm finding that I prefer to write stuff that could fit in canon.

[_thirty2flavors]

Oh I absolutely prefer to have some kind of canon frame, so the absence of new canon is a big part of it for me. I'm hoping I like s5 and that it gives me some holes to fill. The blank slate is nice, but you do eventually reach a point where you feel like you've kind of done everything. I mean, I've (sort of) killed them both off and everything. I've actually really been enjoying doing that things-I-wouldn't-write meme because it's been sort of forcing me to write something different.

I am still not writing Sheldon/Anyone, though.

It'd be nice to get into something like that, but I think I'm too much of a canon whore.

Aw, come on! (Besides, since I don't watch that show you could write Sheldon like Captain Jack and I would have NO idea.)

I'd offload my bunnies on you but it seems the Doctor Who ones are keeping quiet as of late except for random crack bites.
Its the White Collar and Chuck ones I need to corral and muzzle.
Sadly my WritingMuse has vanished again but left IdeaMuse in charge of the plotbunnies.......oh dear.

[mrv3000]

I really do blame the lack of new canon.

You know, maybe that DW virtual series will actually inspire some bunnies.

Music can be very conducive to bunnies, I find. I've got about 7 billion dramione fics to write from songs on my playlist. You could check out comms doing fic exchanges/prompts, you could take an idea you've already written for one fandom and see if you can apply it to another, or get a friend to give you a very general prompt and see how many fandoms you can apply it to. Even if it's just drabbles/ficlets if you can keep your hand in, the bunnies tend to wake up again ;D

[mrv3000]

Hmmm. A prompt community might be a good idea. I've never been one who can write on command, but a prompt with no time limit is different than a ficathon...
