20 – Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
Not really. It's more likely that I'll get an idea from something someone wrote in another fandom, because something about it will remind me of characters that I'm dealing with. I definitely get little ideas about characterization from other people, especially when I'm having a hard time wrapping my arms around a character. Other writers will have an insight that strikes me and I'll run with that.
In fact, when I'm in the middle of writing in a new fandom I'll stop reading that particular pairing for a little while. When I was writing EWFS, I read nothing but Remus/Sirius for months because I wanted my sense of the characters to stay true in the story and not get confused by what other writers were doing. Sometimes I'm even anxious about going back to canon, concerned that I've wandered off the reservation, but usually I find that I remembered more than I thought I had.
However, this has the effect of getting me super behind on reading and reviewing. I'm like, tragically behind in Jim/Bones fic. It's ridiculous.
