30 Days of Fanfic Writing - Day 18

I get most of my inspiration from the source material itself, and my constant ruminations on it.

What if scenarios, certain lines, certain looks… Possibilities venture from those moments, and I’m very interested in them.

A Slow Ripening Fruit comes just from Veronica and Weevil’s friendship throughout the series, and how it has this sort of tension and how Weevil, at a certain point, is standing entirely on his own and I wanted him more interconnected.

By Contrast with the Love comes specifically from Veronica’s broken, “He killed my father”, because even though KBell and RT have said Veronica would become dark and vengeful without that balancing force in her life, I do think it can go another way (I leave writing dark and vengeful Veronica to other writers).

In a Past and Future Town came from the line, “You know there is another of looking at this, Logan. If you’d still been together, you might be dead too.” That idea, not to be puntastic, haunted me. Logan could have been dead, too. And what would have happened from that point? Who would Veronica have become?

The ones that don’t come from the source material or musing over the source material typically come from discussions​. elenaontop talking about Mac acquiring Gia’s cat. I had a back and forth with doppelbangher a while ago about what would have happened if Logan got arrested for killing Lilly, and how Duncan would react, and I started writing it because it’s an interesting idea. And then there are the actual prompts vmficrecs sends out, which set off a flurry of bunnies, only half of whom come to fruition in time for submission (I still have tabs and tabs of prompts open that I am working on various stories for). My only two Wallace stories came from prompts, as did my Lianne fic.

The thing that I think is most important about taking fic ideas from other sources is to site that source. If I end up publishing the “Logan is charged with Lilly’s murder” story, I’m linking doppelbangher after I discuss that with her before hand, because it was her prompting that got my muse going. Getting ideas from other places happens, and that’s great - but credit where credit is due is also a must in those situations. Which may be why all of my published stories are either based in the source material or out and out prompts to be filled. Because I don’t want anyone to feel like I’m stepping on their toes or taking their intellectual property - which is what I think meta ultimately is.

GORGEOUS how the patterning on their clothes match and complement each other so well. It’s in the colors, the shapes, and the types of flora featured on their outfits. I don’t know much about fashion, and I’m sure there are actually knowledgeable people who’ve already observed this, but I dunno, this what I’m seeing.

Sometimes it’s obvious, like the white flowers on these outfits:

Definitely more subtle, but I’m pretty sure the shape of the leaves on his vest here match the shape of the very light seafoam green leaves layered onto her dress here:

Vines vines vines:

He’s even matching her in 3x01 pre- glow-up. The colors of the flowers on his vest match those on her dress:

And I dunno, I might be reaching here, but I feel like there’s a similar striation effect to the lines on his vest and her dress in the hot air balloon episode:

Am I absolutely delusional about season 3 at this point? Yes. Are these two people looking positively magical and do I really just want showcase their magnificence as often as possible? Also yes. 100%.

The next 3 weeks, six days, 4 hours, and 38 minutes cannot pass quickly enough.
