Or, at least, reading things that make me think "that would make a great prompt for dS fic." From Danielewski's House of Leaves(Untitled Fragment

B. This makes me happy because it's almost a F/K fic in itself.
C. This makes me happy because I need to be thinking F/K instead of CallumCallumCallumCallumCallum, as the first makes me write fic and the second makes me nonverbal.
Would it be in the fic as section headers or in fic diegesis? Would Fraser think it while watching/thinking about Ray? Whisper it in bed while tracing said wrists with his mouth?
(That did start out a technical question (am curious about different ways people use prompts), but devolved into a nice little mental masturbation moment. How shocking.)

There's something wrong with this thought process?You know, I think there is. For me, at least. Been feeling not writerly, been doing a lot of vague lusty drooling. Now, vague lusty drooling is a beautiful thing, as well you know, but... I like the writerly thing. And even just defending Ray/Ray yesterday made me feel more writerly, as was actually thinking about relationship dynamic between two/three characters rather than indulging in me/Callum fantasies

Section headings, probably. Similar to the short quotes I'm using to divide up my Inuvik fic. I've never been fond of long quotations within the narrative itself (one reason why the film dialogue in "There's No Good Time to Discuss This" is so short) and the idea of characters quoting poetry is...weird.
Would Fraser think it while watching/thinking about Ray?
Probably not, at least the way I write. My characters rarely think in poetic forms, and never in quatrains. Especially not when the meter is broken in the last line, because that would throw me off.
Whisper it in bed while tracing said wrists with his mouth? Okay, maybe. Not my usual (see overblown academicese above), but that's quite an image

D. Pretty!

(Also, why don't my attempts at Fraser's voice sound this good?)
