Hello!
I'm sure you've heard this often but since you started posted last February, you've become one of my very favorite authors on Ao3! You are a brilliant writer, tell fantastic stories and everything you write is incredible!
My question is generic but I am interested! Where do you get your inspiration?
Thank you!
Wow, what a lovely, lovely ask to receive – thank you so much!!
Last year was the first time in my adult life that I've ever written a story, so I'm still very much discovering what inspires me. So far it's been a mixture of every day life situations (I went for my first spa massage last Jan and had 50 minutes to ponder what would happen if Draco was the massage therapist at Harry's first time 🫴), moments in a movie (⚰️), songs, or just really enjoying the vibe of something (regency, Paris) and wanting to make it Drarry. I'm not one of those geniuses with hundreds of plot bunnies bouncing around their noggins, so when I get got by an idea, I tend to just seize it and go with God 😂
Also, reading great fic and talking to creative friends is massively inspiring, though maybe in a less direct or obvious way? Like, I never consciously set out to emulate anyone or anything else when I write, but you might have noticed that where possible in my fics I like to link to/rec others that I know have inspired or influenced an aspect of my story in some way. Just feels nice (and interesting maybe? idk) to acknowledge that.
Welp, this is a bit longer than I expected. This is also my first tumblr question and in case it's not obvious, I've no clue what I'm doing here 😂 Thank you for the ask and being so kind Anonymous Person, I appreciate you.
